This one starts with a bang — or maybe a badly handled siege. Mike and Dylan open the episode fired up after watching a Ruby Ridge documentary, diving headfirst into how government “oopsies” never seem to end in consequences for them, but will absolutely get you hunted down if you slip up.

From the botched standoff to media-fueled fear tactics, they unpack how loaded language (“weapons of mass destruction,” “altered weapons”) can turn a rural family into a national threat. Waco comparisons? Yep. Political hypocrisy? Absolutely. Calls for everyone to “just be left the f*** alone”? Naturally.

Of course, this wouldn’t be MADHD without detours — the Ruby Ridge talk bleeds into a wild protest story, complete with Antifa rumors, talk of arrests, riot debates, and a reported death. It’s equal parts history lesson, outrage session, and “did they really just say that?”

Mike and Dylan dive into some absolutely WILD listener submissions this week. From a boss's son who wore the same shirt for an entire week (with a mystery sticker on his back!) to a criminal mastermind who literally set himself on fire during a botched arson - this episode has it all.

But the most shocking story comes from an 18-year-old listener sharing her horrific first relationship experience. What started as innocent teenage romance turned into financial abuse, control, and worse. Her ex spent $2,000 meant for a car on BONGS instead, then had the audacity to call them "gifts."

Plus: Mike and Dylan brainstorm their dream B-horror movie featuring killer pig statues, debate why Lexington thinks it's the "BBQ Capital of the World" (spoiler: it's not), and solve the mystery of why your TV makes movies look like soap operas.
