Dan Griffin and Corey Walsh banter about cocktails, quitting vaping, and a short show before diving into a Boston Globe story about Last Stitch Bar in Greenfield, Massachusetts: a COVID-cautious lesbian bar that made Saturday nights mask-optional to stay afloat, triggering a furious backlash accusing the owners of ableism, eugenics, racism, and even improper accessibility practices (like missing alt text). They read and mock the escalating Zoom “community meeting” drama, financial crisis, and activist infighting, framing it as intersectionality eating itself. The show then shifts to Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed vs. Mike Rogers Senate race, reacting to campaign ads portraying El-Sayed as pro-capitalism but “dangerously radical,” while Rogers leans on culture-war messaging and 9/11 fear. They argue both parties are hollow, cronyism rules, and politics is mostly identity theatrics.

YouTube Mask-Optional Lesbian Bar Meltdown & Michigan’s ‘Dangerous’ Senate Ads
Dan Griffin, Corey Walsh, and Bell “the Bodysnatcher” banter about cocktails, quitting vaping, and a short episode before diving into a Boston Globe story about Last Stitch/Last Ditch, a lesbian bar in Greenfield, Massachusetts that made Saturday nights mask-optional after requiring KN95/N95s, sparking hundreds of furious comments accusing the bar of ableism/eugenics and triggering chaotic community meetings, Zoom pile-ons, and financial crisis details like unpaid rent and a $50,000 loan. They use the episode to mock “intersectionality eating itself,” argue woke activism becomes exclusionary, and say it distracts from real issues. The show then shifts to Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed vs. Mike Rogers Senate race, praising El-Sayed’s messaging on “capitalism vs corporatism” while criticizing his track record, and laughing at attack ads linking him to 9/11 and calling him “dangerous,” plus Rogers’ ad framing El-Sayed as anti-football and “crazy.”
