In this episode, Tom sits down with Seamus Coughlin, the creative mind behind FreedomToons, to talk about his brand-new animated anthology series Twisted Plots. From his early days animating satire online to building one of YouTube’s sharpest comedy channels, Seamus opens up about his influences, his thoughts on the collapse of modern comedy, and why he believes good stories can still change hearts and minds.
They dive into everything from The Titanic and Shawshank Redemption to South Park, Black Mirror, and even the hidden humor of the Bible — exploring what makes timeless stories stick, and why so much of Hollywood has forgotten how to tell them.TIMESTAMPS:

Schwartz Investment Counsel, Inc., a registered investment adviser established in 1980, serves as investment adviser for Ave Maria Mutual Funds. The Adviser invests in securities only if they meet the Funds’ investment and religious requirements, and as such, the returns may be lower or higher than if the Adviser made decisions based solely on investment considerations. The Funds’ method of security selection may or may not be successful and the Funds may underperform or outperform the stock market as a whole. All mutual funds are subject to market risk, including possible loss of principal. The Funds’ investments in small and mid-capitalization companies could experience greater volatility than investments in large-capitalization companies. AVEWX invests in foreign securities and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations. Investments in these securities can involve additional risks relating to political, economic or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets; fluctuations in foreign currencies; and withholding or other taxes. AVEFX invests primarily in fixed income securities and as a result the Fund is also subject to the followings risks: interest rate risk, credit risk, credit rating risk, prepayment and extension risk and liquidity risk. AVEAX and AVERX are classified as non-diversified and may therefore invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a limited number of issuers than funds that are diversified. At times, the Funds may overweight a position in a particular issuer or emphasize investment in a limited number of issuers, industries or sectors, which may cause their share prices to be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or regulatory occurrence affecting an issuer than funds that are more widely diversified. The issuers that the Funds may emphasize will vary from time to time.

Jimmy Kimmel is back on air after his show was initially suspended due to misleading and insensitive comments he made about Charlie Kirk’s killer being part of the “MAGA gang.” Following Charlie’s death, the conservative movement felt a strong surge of unity, but the situation with Jimmy Kimmel was the cause of argument and disagreement among those on the right. Was this free speech? Was it a violation of free speech for the FCC to pressure ABC to cancel Kimmel’s show? But the most important question after this incident is a broader one: what is it that conservatives continue to get wrong when engaging with their opponents in situations like this? In this episode of The Deep, Erika discusses the need to establish unity in strategy on the right and she lays out 6 rules for effectively engaging with our opponents.
