Spike O’Neill sees right through Trump’s ’50 State Strategy’ and Jack Stine weighs the odds of Dave Reichert beating Bob Ferguson’s name recognition – especially now that there aren’t three Bob Fergusons – in the race for Washington governor. Polling suggests voters are much more undecided than we expected.

Video: Why Are White Woman Paying Thousands To Scream Therapy!

MyNorthwest Video — Fri, 24 May 2024 23:18:51 +0000

There’s a new therapeutic method in town: “primal scream therapy.” Video footage of one of the sessions is going viral, showing white women in the woods beating sticks onto the ground while they scream, a privilege which they have allegedly paid thousands of dollars to experience. But Jack Stine knows this ‘new craze’ is actually just a very old and disproven way to conduct therapy.

Video: Trump’s Weird Excuse For Why He Didn’t Testify

MyNorthwest Video — Fri, 24 May 2024 23:09:50 +0000

Another radio station talk show, WABC, interviewed Donald Trump and asked him directly why he did not testify during his hush money criminal trial in New York (even though he said that he would). And the answer Trump gave them was completely nonsensical. Jack Stine and Spike O’Neill take a listen.

Video: Nikki Haley Flip Flops, Says She’s Voting for Trump

MyNorthwest Video — Fri, 24 May 2024 22:06:57 +0000

Nikki Haley ran her campaign for president calling Donald Trump “unhinged,” and “not qualified.” So why is she now saying she’s voting for him? One thing is obvious. Joe Biden scooped up those former Haley supporters faster than Jack Stine and Spike O’Neill could speculate about it.

MyNorthwest Video — Fri, 24 May 2024 22:00:06 +0000

Former president Donald Trump visited the Bronx in New York to hold a rally, chasing the Black and Hispanic vote. What was the size of the crowd at Donald Trump’s rally in the Bronx? What did Donald Trump say to the borough? But more importantly, why did he dance?

Video: How To Make People Cry

MyNorthwest Video — Fri, 24 May 2024 21:40:38 +0000

Jack Stine knows how to make anyone cry. He used to do it as a party trick, and accidentally pried open several people’s deepest, darkest secrets. He is willing to share his strategy, but you must promise to use it for good, and not for evil.

Video: Justice Alito Flies Controversial Flags At First, Second Homes

MyNorthwest Video — Fri, 24 May 2024 01:00:03 +0000

We’re all biased, says Jack Stine. And Supreme Court Justice Alito is not immune. Spike O’Neill explains what the flags that Justice Alito is flying outside his two different properties represent, and why the choice to fly them should disqualify him from adjudicating any case involving January 6th.

Video: Was Biden Trying to Assassinate Trump? (No).

MyNorthwest Video — Thu, 23 May 2024 22:24:07 +0000

Former president Donald Trump is accusing current President Joe Biden of sending the FBI to assassinate him when they searched his Mar-a-Lago property for classified documents. Biden was ‘locked and loaded’ to ‘take me out,’ Trump wrote in a fundraising email to supporters. The question, posits Jack Stine, isn’t whether Biden was actually trying to endanger Trump’s life. But rather, who will get caught in the crossfire?

Video: Stop Freaking Out About Harrison Butker’s Speech

MyNorthwest Video — Thu, 23 May 2024 03:00:03 +0000

Is Harrison Butker just a normal Catholic? After the Benedictine nuns reprimanded the Chief’s player for his commencement speech that suggested the female graduates prioritize getting married and being homemakers, Jack Stine is suggesting that everyone calm down. And be a little bit less shocked, perhaps.

MyNorthwest Video — Thu, 23 May 2024 01:00:04 +0000

Video: Why Do Trump Sycophants Dress The Same?

MyNorthwest Video — Wed, 22 May 2024 22:27:56 +0000

Apparently, supporting Trump comes with a certain uniform. Black suit, white dress shirt, and, of course, a red tie. Jack Stine and Spike O’Neill analyze the fashion statements made by several esteemed Republican politicians who showed up at Trump’s hush money criminal trial in NYC to lend their support in court.

MyNorthwest Video — Wed, 22 May 2024 02:00:03 +0000

What’s a trad wife? It’s short for “traditional wife” and Jack explains what’s behind this social media phenomenon. The secret: it’s really about power. Trad wife content is designed for men and the reason they’re into it is pretty weird.

Video: Rudy Giuliani: Coffee Salesman?

MyNorthwest Video — Wed, 22 May 2024 00:00:14 +0000

Rudy Giuliani fell from grace some time ago, but what’s he been up to? Selling coffee. From the embarrassing leaked transcripts to the Four Season’s Total Landscaping, New York’s former mayor can’t seem to stop embarrassing himself. Jack and Spike speculate that Giuliani is hard pressed to generate income. Will you try Rudy’s coffee?

Chris Daniels over at our news partner KIRO 7 attended the state championship for e-sports in Washington this past weekend.

Video: Why Is Rosie O’Donnell Texting Michael Cohen?

MyNorthwest Video — Mon, 20 May 2024 22:06:43 +0000

If you got a text that said: “breathe – relax – tell the truth – u got this – i love u.” What would you think? Because apparently, that’s what celebrity Rosie O’Donnell has been texting quasi-celebrity Michael Cohen. Cohen, of course, has on the stand at Trump’s criminal trial over hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. Nothing better than two people who have been scorned by Trump bonding over it, says Spike O’Neill!

MyNorthwest Video — Sun, 19 May 2024 18:00:14 +0000

A new ad campaign from McDonalds features grandmothers and their grandchildren joyfully digging into literal poison, says Jack Stine. The ‘Grandma McFlurry’ might be the most deranged attempt from the franchise to derail the health of American citizens yet.

Jack and Spike on the Everett road rage incident: ‘One day, a switch goes off’

Steve Coogan — Sat, 18 May 2024 23:10:11 +0000

Interstate 5 (I-5) north in Everett was completely closed for about eight hours Thursday after a road rage incident led to an officer-involved shooting.

The Snohomish County Multiple Agency Response Team (SMART) said in a statement that just after 4 p.m. Thursday, Washington State Patrol (WSP) responded to a report of a major incident on the shoulder of I-5 north near milepost 197.

More on the Snohomish County incident: I-5 north in Everett reopens after officer-involved shooting left suspect dead

The suspect began ramming his vehicle into a Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) vehicle and a lift that was on the shoulder of I-5 with two employees onboard, the statement reads.

From there, “an altercation” ensued between the suspect — who was armed with a hammer — WSDOT employees and a WSP trooper, SMART reported. During the incident, the WSP trooper shot the suspect. Members of law enforcement rendered aid to the suspect. But he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Jack and Spike respond to the Everett road rage incident

Jack Stine and Spike O’Neill, hosts of “The Jack and Spike Show” on KIRO Newsradio, were both affected by the tragic incident and spoke about it during Friday’s show.

“I was incredibly heartbroken,” Jack said. “It affected me so deeply so I’m sitting in my very expensive apartment surrounded by my very expensive things and I’m thinking to myself, ‘What causes somebody to do this?’ and I was really trying to think about what causes somebody to go just one day they just or something happens and there’re just a switch goes off and then they tip over?”

Jack went on to say the incident in Everett made him think about the 1993 movie “Falling Down,” which stars Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall. As the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) description astutely states, the film is about “An ordinary man frustrated with the various flaws he sees in society begins to psychotically and violently lash out against them.”

“Basically … the argument that I’m making is that all of the little things will contribute to one big thing,” Jack said.

“Are the people who are the most susceptible to cracking, is there not enough societal pressure … to push that person over the edge is what I’m saying,” Jack went on to say later. “We get all this bad news and all this terrible stuff all the time and we see nothing but the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer and I’m sitting on northbound I-5 and what do I see? A couple of no good government workers that’s causing traffic and finally you have the power and you say to yourself ‘I’m going to do something about this right right now.'”

“I think you’re spot on about this,” Spike said in response. “They say we’re one major expense away from going under and most of Americas can’t afford a $400 emergency in their life. We’re all so pushed to the edge and, you’re right, every factor of our life, it seems, these days tells us how bad things are tells us how much danger we’re in tells us how much how close we are to just losing it all …”

Later in the segment, Jack noted that he doesn’t think this is a matter of politics or geography. Instead, it is uniquely American and everyone in the U.S. deals with constant pressure.

“I think this is an American culture thing where we are all under a pressure cooker all of the time. I read about it every day all of the bad awful news that’s happening around the world. That wears on people. It drags people down,” Jack said.

And that was just part of the conversation. Click on the video above to watch more, including Jack’s point about checking in with people, and make sure you subscribe to our Jack & Spike Show YouTube channel.

Video: Why Did Trump Look Miserable at Barron’s Graduation?

MyNorthwest Video — Sat, 18 May 2024 18:00:04 +0000

At Barron Trump’s high school graduation, caps were thrown, and everyone was all smiles – except for former president Donald Trump, who is facing tens of criminal charges and attended the commencement surrounded by Secret Service. Jack Stine and Spike O’Neill wonder: is Trump’s attempt to grasp power again for the sake of his own ego, destroying his family life and what otherwise would have been a lovely retirement?
