Days of Pestilence: Unwearied Still, Lover by Lover Paddle in the Cold

We are a culture full of morons who buy exploding Teslas, refuse lifesaving vaccines, think eating a Kit Kat the "wrong way" is a punchable offense, and refuse to zipper merge because someone else might get somewhere 10 seconds before us.  Also, Chris bought a new car and reflects on how it is impossible for car dealers to make that transaction simple. It's a lot of exposition disguised as plot on the latest episode of Impolite Company!

Bone and Cone

Why are you letting Zuckerberg attack your psyche each morning by pelting you with memories of the past year?  Isn't there a rule against a band playing Pearl Jam's "Black" at a paid gig? Should potential editors of magazines really be held liable for things they Tweeted in high school?

A Caveman Incel Sucking a Goat Boob

The pandemic continues, but that doesn't stop a significant part of the internet from being outraged by Phoebe Bridgers' appearance on SNL.  Impolite host, Chris Cyr, wonders what those people would do if they saw someone bite the head off of a bat?  The cowardice of a former president to not show up for a battle he doesn't even have the chance of losing.  Should we have had Super Bowl commercials featuring people walking around unmasked? And, why do people only pay it forward in the line of Starbucks and not in more useful places? Have fun with the latest edition of Impolite Company!

You Don’t Smash A Lot Of Guitars In Adult Contemporary

On today's Impolite Company, in the course of talking about the crazy blonde congresswoman who thinks Pizzagate was real, Chris wonders if there's a way for society to objectively identify people too stupid to be allowed to have opinions, and then allow the state to intercede and make all decisions for that objectively stupid person.  You know.  Basically fascism.  Also, Butch Bowers, attorney at law and muscle car salesman.   Enjoy Our theme song was written and produced by Lyfestile and Kenautis Smith.  Check out their albums, "From Which I Came," and their newest release "Where I'm At"  on Spotify, Apple Music, or every other platform.  Support independent artists!

Oops! That'd Be Authoritarianism!

Chris Cyr returns for Season 4 of Impolite Company and the first episode lives up to the show's name.  On the agenda are American politics and the failed right wing insurrection.  He wonders why conservatives of different stripes will hug each other tightly regardless of how much they disagree, whereas liberals and progressives will re-enact the fight scene from Michal Jackson's "Beat It" video over the slightest difference.  Hallmark donated $11,000 to Josh Hawley's election campaign.  And, people who started relationships and moved in together before the pandemic hit might be the true heroes of 2020. As always, a million other topics on tens of other tangents.  Happy new year, it's Impolite Company.

Days of Pestilence: George Floyd Was Murdered

The first in a series featuring our new segment, "Who's F@*%ing?"  Chris interviews Ellen Doyle, a traveling comic who's sheltering in Pennsylvania.  The two discuss everything from dating apps, to the best review Ellen's ever received from an audience member.  Also, CSI: Madea. Enjoy this new episode of Impolite Company.  Ellen Doyle is the favorite child of two fifth generation coal miners.  She was famously the fourth heterosexual to graduate from her all girls college, but has so far been unable to produce genetic proof of her love for reproductive sex due to black magic. She moved to the west coast to pursue her lifelong dream of creating reality television but has been forced into a life of stand up comedy due to the fact that everyone just watches Netflix now. Ellen has been known to being nice to animals and children (in that order) and dreams of doing comedy for poor kids in no kill shelters.  So far she has had to settle for performing at the SLO Comedy Festival, The World Series of Comedy, The North Carolina Comedy Festival, Sno Jam Comedy Festival, Mutiny Radio Comedy Festival, The Paul Bunyan Comedy Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. She tours the United states in a leased 2018 Kia Sorento that is well over its miles. She has been featured at clubs, breweries, coffee shops and public restrooms across America's heartland. She owns a dog named "Ghost". Ghost was featured on animal planets "Rescue Dog to Super Dog".  Ellen has no on camera credits.
