Time for an hour long Sunday Show for your dirtly little asses. Recorded on a chilly Saturday, January 11, 2025, at Studio 163 in Essexville, Michigan, Kid A.G. and El Pres take you on a dirty little carpet ride of current events, nostalgia and more. Listen in and always go deep.  LA's Fiery Hell: The episode kicked off with the LA wildfires, a grim reminder of nature's wrath. It's about community support in times of crisis, not just for those in the spotlight. The Goin' Deep Philosophy: Why do this show? It's our auditory diary, capturing the chaos of life. Kid A.G. emphasized the show's motto, "Fighting for Evil," is a nod to Mel Brooks' humor, not actual evil. It's about finding laughter in life's dumpster fire. Social Media's Shitshow: We dove into how social media has evolved, or devolved, pointing out the challenges of misinformation and government interference, and the dark side of content moderation. AI: The New Frontier: Kid A.G. floated the idea of using AI to recycle old episodes into daily content, But the real kicker was the discussion on AI sex dolls, envisioning a future where you could customize your sex life with 3D-printed celebrity heads or exes for some twisted nostalgia. The Dark Side of Moderation: We didn't shy away from the grim reality of social media moderators, who deal with the internet's filth for little pay, leading to severe mental health issues.  Cultural Commentary and Celebrity Lust: From discussing Heidi Klum's enduring allure to Jamie Lee Curtis's past roles, we explored how celebrities age in the public eye and whether they still hold up as fantasy figures. Masturbation on the Move: A playful segment where Kid A.G. and El Pres mused over the logistics of self-pleasure while driving, leading to a story about a cop caught in the act, highlighting human absurdity under pressure. Political Bullshit and Nostalgia: We touched on the absurdity of global politics, from the Panama Canal to Trump's influence, questioning its relevance to everyday life.  AI Robots - The Future of Sex: We pondered the implications of life-sized AI robots that could redefine human companionship, imagining a world where your next lover could be a machine with no emotional strings attached. Local Love and Laughs: We ended with a nod to our local scene, from bars to the quirky characters that populate them, reminding us that amidst global chaos, local life has its charm. Conclusion: This episode was a rollercoaster through current crises, digital debauchery, and the human condition's comedic relief. From empathy to absurdity, we've covered it all. In a world where everything's going to hell, sometimes you've got to laugh, fuck, and go deep.    LAFireCrisis, CommunitySupport, SocialMediaChaos, AINewFrontier, ModerationNightmare, CelebrityAging, MasturbationOnTheMove, PoliticalNostalgia
