Jarret LeMaster joins the gang this week while we talk about remote control robots, that amazing lady Rabbi Zohram Mamdani ad, a few horrifying blue-haired breakdowns and our favorite scary movies.
Beyond Parody dives into the week's most unbelievable stories that (somehow) are real. Dan and the crew cover the World Aquatics decision to ban an athlete after a refused sex-verification test, an FBI probe that allegedly snared NBA names in a mafia card-game scheme, and the Louvre heist that used a work lift and speed to steal France's crown jewels. We argue Disney's strengths and misses, react to viral EBT clips as funding fights loom, debate the ethics of property taxes, review the White House ballroom renovation outrage, and address online conspiracies fueled by Candace Owens and their real-world effects. Plus, reader headlines and ridiculous personal stories.
This week on Beyond Parody, Israel cheers Trump for a Gaza peace deal while critics continue to call him Hitler. We break down the reactions, the word games, why anti-fascists keep acting like fascists, and why anti-racists keep acting like...well, you get it. Then we dive into the Dungeons and Dragons pride art, the Supreme Court's latest decision, and a reminder that Creed should ALWAYS perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.
On today's episode of Beyond Parody, we talk about what's going on with the government shutdown, Democratic politicians who get a pass on violent language, and why California's leading candidate for governor might need a few more PR lessons.
MLB rockstar John Rocker joins the crew to talk about cancel culture, cultural madness, the government shutdown, the meme wars, plus about 50 other topics and tangents. This is one you don't want to miss.
On a very special episode of Beyond Parody, we welcome guest Kirk Cameron to talk about his views on faith, the Christian revival, the Jimmy Kimmel chaos, what he thinks of the Babylon Bee headlines we've written about him, and his experiences working over four decades in Hollywood.
Today the gang talks about the canceling of Jimmy Kimmel, the ridiculousness of Pam Bondi's hate speech declaration, and Dan's thoughts about unfounded conspiracy theories, and lots more.

Today is a sad one, guys. Dan, Travis, and Robynn talk about the impact Charlie Kirk has on their own lives, the impact he had on American politics, and the impact he had on the world. We talk about the media's (predictably awful) reaction to the tragedy and what we can do moving forward to honor the legacy Charlie left behind.
On today's episode we talk about Greta's terrible new do, Canada's terrible advice for crime victims, Trump's not-so-terrible demolition of drug runners, and yes ....Dan sings.
Many highs and a few massive lows shape this week's news rundown. We discuss the horrific shooting at a Catholic school in Mineapolis, talk (briefly, don't worry!) about the engagement heard 'round the world, the mixed bag of Trump's ongoing economic policies, and much, much more!
This week on Beyond Parody, we talk about Cracker Barrel's cringe rebrand, gaming the woke German prison system, an assistant AG with a viral arrest video, and how illegal aliens are getting CDLs on American roads.
Today, we dive into the good (Trump federalizing DC law enforcement), the bad (chucking sandwiches at federal agents?!), and the ugly (woke folks whining about oppression or whatever).
On this week's episode of Beyond Parody, we talk all about Trump's escapades on the roof of the White House, South Park's revival, the media's lies and Dan's favorite Creed song.
This week we dive into why the Democrats hate hot women, why the news always gets things (intentionally) wrong, and why sequels to comedies are usually terrible.
Travis rejoins the gang as we talk about the spate of celebrity deaths from this past week, the WNBA, whether or not Coldplay is a good band, and why Late Night comedy will never be the same.
Seth Dillon joins the party today to help us hash out the Epstein boondoggle, Jasmine Crockett's IQ test, infidelity caught on the big screen and what on earth is going on with the fresh water in blue states???
On this week's episode we dive into the (lack) of revelations out about the Epstein files, Grok going full groyper (!?), and the left's unhinged reactions to the tragedy in Texas. Also, Dan may or may not sing Cumbersome from Seven Mary Three.
Join us today on a very special Beyond Parody with guest stand-up comedian Leo Kearse! We talk about the state of the U.K., the state of America on her birthday, the state of robot soccer (or football, depending on what side of the pond you're on), and what jokes Leo's audiences don't like.
Travis joins us again this week as we discuss Iran, Zohran, Ilhan, Superman, the economy, salmonella, and why Jasmine Crockett is big mad Trump left her out of the planning process for this week's military action.
Iran and Israel are one mean tweet away from World War III, Tucker is one second away from punching Ted Cruz in the face, and the Babylon Bee's Travis joins us to discuss the funniest headlines of the week. This is Beyond Parody.
