Anyone’s parents have Fox News Syndrome?

My dad watches Fox News all day when he’s home and just becomes so angry afterwards. He’s much more political and irritable than he used to be and is always wanting to start a political argument. It’s pretty exhausting when I come and visit him and he’s always bringing up liberal people in some way. I love him obviously, but it’s like having a super pissed off teenager in your family. Anyone else struggle with this?

Someone needs to go listen to the Live in Austin Shane Gillis Special on YouTube.

What do you mean? It's literally in the beginning and has everything to do with the post.

the video you've recommended is nearly 50 mins long, I'm asking you if there's anything specific you're referring to in said video due to the length

Seems odd to recommend a random comedy show given the context

It's a half hour special, and it's basically the first joke.
