The Mackie Rat Podcast welcomes listeners, describing itself as a comedy show focused on funny stuff. The hosts announce the return of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, which they bizarrely welcome because of its past death toll. They discuss specific victims: Cameron Lancaster, a Scottish teenager who drowned jumping off a cliff after doing the challenge; Willis Tepania from New Zealand, who had a fatal heart attack after drinking an entire bottle of bourbon then doing the challenge; and Tony Gryder, a firefighter electrocuted by a wet bucket weeks later. The hosts find morbid humor in these events and their unpredictable causes (like surface tension). The host outlines his personal challenge plan involving one solitary shoe.

Other topics include Caleb's facts about the longest alliance (England-Portugal since 1386), the ability to rent Liechtenstein for $140k a night (mentioning Snoop Dogg was refused because he's black), and North Korea's past requirement for teachers to play the accordion (with no rap music allowed). Pop culture discussions feature a review of Katy Perry's criticized, slow lightsaber performance, likening it to the most interesting Star Wars event since the prequels.

The ongoing feud with Steve takes a turn when Steve demands an apology based on his FICO score (786). The host refuses, issuing a counter-challenge: send his full name, address, and social security number for a potential apology. They discuss Steve's silver medal in a Singapore beer competition, speculating he didn't get gold because he's not a Singapore citizen (where they allegedly cut off hands for stealing).

The show touches on politics with "benign stories that attack Trump," covering his excuse for not getting Melania a gift (busy with fake tariffs) and his plan for giant flagpoles (joked to be compensating for smallness). They also discuss George Santos going to jail for lying and stealing, noting his "Jew-ish" defense and funding OnlyFans/plastic surgery with taxpayer money, and comparing him to other politicians charged with similar crimes.

The host briefly talks about his trip to Japan, praising the food (especially Hokkaido beef) but expressing disbelief at the perceived lack of candy.

The episode ends with a final call for listeners to follow/subscribe and the hosts promising to apologize to Steve if the podcast gains 1000 new subscribers this week.

Another FUN episode! This week we delve into various conspiracy theories surrounding Katy Perry's trip to space on a Blue Origin rocket. The hosts, despite their initial skepticism, explore the event with a blend of seriousness and humor.

They discuss the potential motivations behind Katy Perry's space travel, suggesting it could be a strategic move for Jeff Bezos to improve his public image and portray himself as a feminist for sending women to space. One prominent theory revolves around the idea that the flight was staged, citing the alleged lack of re-entry burn marks on the rocket and supposed inconsistencies in promotional photos. Some even suggest that the astronauts were mannequins.

The hosts also touch upon the controversy surrounding a previous space mission where astronauts were temporarily stranded, highlighting a supposed "tremendous blow" to the scientific community. Their most outlandish theory is that Katy Perry's trip was orchestrated to distract from a perceived "woefully ugly" female astronaut from that previous mission, preventing the public from associating space with unattractiveness.

Other tangents include discussions about Jeff Bezos' alleged evil nature and his supposed construction of a massive clock, the varying perceptions of Africa and its custom license plates, and a bizarre incident involving a school student with a clock that was mistaken for a bomb. They also touch on the casting choices in James Bond films and the portrayal of Black characters in media.

Towards the end, the hosts pivot to Katy Perry's specific contribution to the space trip: a quote about bringing "glam" to space and putting the "ass" in astronaut. This leads to a humorous discussion about her persona and a surprising revelation about a cheap Katy Perry doll being released after the trip.

The episode concludes with a lighthearted look at random facts and a brief discussion about the absurdity of the various conspiracy theories. The hosts encourage listeners to engage with them on social media and promise future episodes filled with equally insightful and humorous content.

IT SA GOOD EP! Enjoy!
