Pardon the Politics
You didn't ask for the most chaotic political era in modern American history. But here you are watching executive orders fly, whistleblowers get silenced, world leaders get bombed mid-negotiation, and a president who apparently thinks Greenland is the size of Africa. Somebody's got to make sense of it.
That's where Pardon the Politics comes in.
Every week, co-hosts Jeezy and Manny, joined by the Chairman of Chaos himself, Chuck, bring you an unfiltered, unscripted breakdown of the biggest stories in U.S. and NC politics with the kind of honesty, humor, and cultural fluency you won't find anywhere on cable news. These are three brothers from North Carolina who cut their lawns, cheer for their kids, argue about the Patriots, and also happen to do their homework. Deeply.
Season 3 has already taken listeners through it all: Trump's bizarre Davos appearance, the Epstein files and the accountability that still hasn't come, the Tulsi Gabbard whistleblower scandal, tariff chaos in the courts, the last MLK Day we may ever see, a world that went to war without a Congressional vote, and the death of a Supreme Leader while diplomats were still at the table. And they're just getting started.
This is not a show for people who want to be told what to think. This is a show for people who want the context, the history, the real questions nobody's asking, and three real perspectives from people who live in the same America you do.
Where chaos meets clarity. New episodes every week.

Georgia On Our Ballot
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Got a question for the boys?!?
Georgia's ballot is loaded, and we broke it down. This week Jeezy, Manny, and Chuck head south for a full midterm deep-dive into Georgia: the toss-up governor's race between Keisha Lance Bottoms and self-funded healthcare billionaire Rick Jackson, John Ossoff's Senate fight against Mike Collins, Lucy McBath's third-different-district battle in CD6, and the three constitutional amendments hiding at the bottom of the ballot. Plus: the U.S. officially confirms it has weapons in orbit, Mitch McConnell goes viral, gas prices creep toward a record, and Italy picks a fight over hijabs in schools. All that, a Pickle of the Week for Pete Hegseth, and the PTP merch store is finally live.
