Topic: Primal Scream

A look back at the 2017 "Primal Scream" events where protesters gathered to scream at the sky on the anniversary of Donald Trump's election. The hosts link this behavior to "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and suggest that social media-driven mental illness has only intensified since the COVID-19 pandemic. They jokingly propose bringing back "Scream Circles" as a concierge-level feature.

On the one-year anniversary of Donald Trump's election, protesters organized "primal scream" events in cities like Dallas, Austin, and New York to howl at the sky. The hosts mock the events as ineffective and suggest they are primarily social mixers for activists. They reference a Saturday Night Live sketch about men using political hats to "scam dates" at bars.

Associate Executive Producers Laura Ziadzio and Sir Craig Kuttner are recognized for their contributions. The segment includes birthday wishes for listeners' children and a "primal scream" audio request from Kuttner, who also references his ham radio call sign.
