Get ready for an episode that is as hilarious as it is history-altering! Michael sits down with the renowned Las Vegas ventriloquist and comedian, April Brucker, for a deep dive into the fascinating, and often misunderstood, world of ventriloquism.

In this episode, we explore:

• The Dark Origins: April pulls back the curtain on the centuries-old history of ventriloquism. Long before it arrived in America in 1776, this craft carried a much darker, mysterious reputation across European culture.

• Radio & The Craft: Discover the surprising parallels between the golden age of Old Talk Radio and the art of modern ventriloquism—specifically how both rely on the precise development of unique, compelling characters to captivate an audience.

• The May Wilson Takeover: We’re joined by April’s star pupil, the one and only May Wilson! Hear about May’s recent high-profile appearance with legendary group The Ink Spots, her sudden rise to fame in Las Vegas, and her shocking transition to the Fox News desk.

• A New Romance? Things get complicated in the studio as May Wilson reveals her very vocal—and very public—crush on Michael. Is May actually becoming more famous than her handler?

Tune in to hear how this craft is evolving, why the "darker side" of comedy is still alive and well, and find out if Michael can handle the pressure of being May Wilson’s latest heartthrob.

Welcome back to another hard-hitting episode of The Savaged Unfiltered Show! Today, Michael and The Old Man are diving straight into the deep end of the financial pool to talk about the latest government experiment: "Trump Accounts."

Are these new tax-advantaged savings vehicles the golden ticket to securing a future for the next generation, or is it just another bureaucratic flop waiting to happen? We’re breaking down the mechanics of these "starter IRAs," the $1,000 federal seed contributions, and the debate currently raging across the country. While many see this as a game-changing tool for families to build long-term wealth, the critics are already out in full force labeling it as nothing more than reckless, wasteful spending.

We’re peeling back the layers on whether this program actually helps the average American family or if it’s just another piece of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" puzzle that doesn't quite fit. As always, we’re cutting through the noise—no filters, no corporate nonsense, just the unfiltered truth.

• The Breakdown: What exactly are Trump Accounts, and who do they actually benefit?

• The Future or a Flop: Is the promise of compound growth for our kids worth the government's involvement?

• The Great Debate: Why do some see a visionary legacy-builder while others see a fiscal disaster?

Things are getting heated in the studio! This week on Savaged Unfiltered, Michael unveils his brand-new set, while The Old Man spends the episode playing technician, frantically repairing the equipment that took a nosedive during last Tuesday’s broadcast.

The technical drama doesn't stop there—Michael has questions about his recent visit from the Geek Squad, leading to a breakdown where The Old Man reveals exactly what went down during his own recent run-in with the tech experts.

This week’s wild ride includes:

• Disney Disrupted: Michael dives into a bizarre alternate reality of "Crazy Disney Movies."

• The Pot Metal Breakdown: Ever wonder what "Pot Metal" actually is? The Old Man gives Michael (and you) the masterclass.

• The Lead Paint Hazard: We discuss historic homes still hiding dangerous lead paint chips—and why The Old Man says you need to stay far, far away.

Welcome back to the first post-July 4th episode of The Savaged Unfiltered Show!

Things get chaotic immediately as The Old Man battles a series of bizarre technical malfunctions from his home base in Washington State. Is it bad luck, a conspiracy, or is he cursed? With his camera locked and his patience wearing thin, Michael pulls out all the stops to save the day—including an impromptu attempt to cheer him up with a FIFA World Cup sticker peeled straight off a Coca-Cola bottle. Does it work? Let's just say the struggle is real when you're stuck in the "no-camera zone."

In this episode:

• End of an Era: Michael drops some major news—the three-year-old studio set is being retired. Get ready for the big reveal of a brand-new studio launching this Thursday!

• Tech Support Nightmares: Michael tries to reassure The Old Man that everything will be fine, but the tech meltdown leads to some hilarious "bugging out." We dive into a classic story of the time Michael had to overnight his computer from England all the way back to the States just for a repair. Maybe it’s time to call the Geek Squad?

• Birthday Blunders: Michael makes a massive blunder by forgetting Tom’s birthday, leading to a heartfelt (and slightly off-key) rendition of "Happy Birthday" to make amends.

• Buckhead Eats: The conversation turns to food as Tom grills Michael on his recent dinner outing with Tibbs and Makayla at The Capital Grille in Buckhead.

Grab a drink and tune in for the laughs, the tech drama, and the big announcements!

Makayla is out of town for the next two days, which means you’re getting a special "Limited Edition" episode of The Savaged Unfiltered Show—and yes, that means very, very minimal editing on today's production. What you hear is exactly what you get!

Michael kicks things off by immediately questioning the old man’s equipment set up before the guys dive straight into their big plans for the 4th of July weekend.

Also on the docket today: Michael takes a hard look at this current generation's "safety protocols," which honestly seem more like absolute idiocy. Plus, with the holiday right around the corner, the crew discusses the current state of patriotism across America, highlighting how small coastal towns in New Jersey still know how to do Independence Day right.

Turn it up, keep it unfiltered, and enjoy the ride.

The Old Man is absolutely furious today, and he isn’t holding anything back. We are kicking off the show with a deep dive into the absolute scam of Marjorie Taylor Greene locking down a lifetime pension after just three short years in office. Michael drops a massive, urgent warning to every conservative listening: MTG is not to be trusted. We expose the fake pollsters and the "Liberty Score" ranking her at 100% as a great leader when she has proven to be the biggest RINO in the party.

Now, she's claiming she’s "done with the GOP" and teaming up with Tucker Carlson to tell you the Republican party doesn’t care about its voters. She’s claiming the GOP lives through an "America Last" lens. Oh, really? When Donald Trump cleans up the filth and crime in our cities, or makes historic peace deals across the globe, that's America Last? Has she completely lost her friggen mind? The Old Man calls her exactly what she is—a "Money Ho" riding the fence between two parties for profit. Have these RINOs swallowed the woke pill too many times here in 2026? Between the fake narratives and their unhinged X posts, we reveal why we are actually looking at the birth of a brand-new, RINO-led "Deep State."

Full Episodes available on savagedunfiltered.com or anywhere podcasts are heard!

Key Episode Notes & Takeaways

• The 3-Year Pension Scam: The Old Man unloads on MTG receiving a taxpayer-funded pension after just three years in the game.

• Michael's Warning to Conservatives: Why MTG has officially proven she is the biggest RINO (Republican In Name Only) in the party and why her "100% Liberty Score" is pure fiction.

• The Tucker Carlson Alliance: Breaking down MTG’s latest media tour claiming the GOP doesn't care about its voters.

• Defining "America First": Confronting the absurdity of calling Trump's legacy—cleaning up crime-ridden cities and brokering global peace deals—"America Last."

• The 2026 Woke Pill: Is the new Deep State being formed by fence-riding RINOs? We look at the erratic X posts exposing their true colors.
