It’s a scrappy Memorial Day weekend and we’re scrappier than ever. Put the BBQ on hold and mute the ballgame, because Bob and Scott are taking the powers that be to task.

Listen in: bit.ly/3C0Pv7X

We do our usual “this week in history,” which includes a takedown of master war criminal Henry Kissinger on the event of his 100th birthday. We also talk about the Writers Guild Strike and how Hollywood treats them like indentured servants, and the recent EPA ruling gutting the Clean Water Act.

We also discuss the recent announcement by the UNCCC on how the planet will pass 1.5 degrees warming in the next five years and the government’s response is to crack down on climate action.

And we close with a tribute to Tina Turner.

All this, and more, on Scrappy Sunday.
