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.”
