The Sirens of Sanity are back from summer break with a sobering dose of truth. David and Brad dissect how society's endorsement of reality-optional thinking creates a pipeline from gender dysphoria to school shootings, while the usual suspects immediately blame MAGA before facts emerge. Plus: Bill Belichick's UNC debut face-plant proves even football legends can't coach their way out of midlife crisis girlfriend syndrome, Arch Manning's performance leaves something to be desired, and Trump's Rose Garden stonework audit shows what happens when someone who actually built things runs the White House. Also featuring: Biden's auto-pen presidency legacy, NASA's asteroid fear-mongering for budget season, and why encouraging crazy people to stay crazy shouldn't surprise anyone when they graduate to homicidal crazy. It's 299 episodes of clearing forests of lies with the machete of truth - assuming that the asteroid doesn't find its way into Earth first.
