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.

Pardon the Politics
Surrender at Versailles (Again)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Happy Father's Day, Bloc. Season 3, Episode 25 is live.
The boys open with some real talk for the dads: present, active, and fighting the silent battles nobody sees. Then it's straight to work.
This week on Pardon the Politics:
🌍 G7 SUMMIT - ÉVIAN-LES-BAINS, FRANCE
The world's richest democracies gathered in France, and by all accounts, nobody flipped a chair. Jeezy, Manny, and Chuck break down what 'smoother than expected' actually means, and why the G7's unity is as much about survival as it is about solidarity. Ukraine gets public backing. China emerges as the quiet giant nobody wanted to talk about loudly. And Manny lays out why the rest of the G7 have started doing business without first asking Washington.
🇮🇷 US-IRAN WAR UPDATE - THE $300B QUESTION
Talks are happening in Switzerland. JD Vance is there. Iran treats the whole thing like a game, and Chuck makes the case that they're winning it. The 14-point MOU gets a full autopsy: when compared side by side with Obama's JCPOA, Chuck calls it 'the biggest signing of surrender at Versailles since Versailles.' Manny breaks down the Strait of Hormuz toll — what it actually means for your gas prices, your groceries, and your healthcare. Plus: Lebanon is the war inside the war, and Israel keeps Homer Simpsoning into the bushes.
