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.

In this wildly insightful (and hilarious) episode of Pardon the Politics, Jeezy and Manny wade through the pollen clouds and into a full-blown national security scandal — yes, a U.S. military breach via a group chat on Signal. Dubbed Signalgate, the leak accidentally added The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief into a top-level conversation about military strikes in Yemen. From there? Pure chaos.
They dive into the tangled web of encrypted apps, shady transparency, and whether Pete Hegseth is running war plans through ChatGPT (complete with double hyphens). Plus: AI conspiracies, tin foil theories, and why GOP officials are sweating over tight margins and pulled nominations.
With humor, depth, and just the right amount of shade, this episode covers everything from allergy season to international intelligence leaks — all while asking: why does the U.S. government use the same messaging app as your friend group?
👉 Tap in. You won’t want to miss this breakdown of politics, tech, and the group chat gone wild.
