Quite Frankly Ep. 49: Virginia Gerrymandering, Wired's Protein Maxing Meltdown & JFK Footage

Badlands Media

About this episode

Frank and Jay Goulard are back, and this one starts in underwear and ends somewhere near the grassy knoll. They open with Virginia's "temporarily restore fairness" redistricting referendum, a piece of ballot wording so predatory it sounds like Emperor Palpatine wrote it over lunch. From there it's a deep dive into why 435 people cannot represent 300 million, why Republicans seem genuinely bummed out whenever they win, and why localism died a quiet death decades ago.

Then the crown jewel: a Wired journalist's three minute video in which he attempts RFK Jr.'s high protein guidelines by eating Nutter Butter whey powder mixed with water, something called "man cereal," and Chipotle "boy kibble." Jay has thoughts. Many thoughts.

The guys also unpack Mark Hyman's supermarket manipulation thread, Howard Moskowitz and the engineering of the Bliss Point, why processed food hijacks satiety, and how raising Aurora on real food changed her palate. They close on JFK: Anna Paulina Luna's teased NBC footage, the Altgens photo, Beverly Oliver's lost film, and why moving JFK's body out of Dallas was technically illegal.
