Encore: The Ted Yoho & AOC Episode

Apologies Accepted

Yohoho and a bottle or rum! Former Congressman Ted Yoho makes a return to the world stage after admitting that he did call Congresswoman AOC an “F’ing B”.

Comedian and Tik Tok star, Ben Palmer, pranked Congressman Yoho in 2020 for a couple of months, pretending to be a conservative with the website “Parler.” If you are not familiar with the website, Parler was going to be the new Facebook for conservatives, until it imploded and disappeared (or it might still be there but it may as well have disappeared). Ben recorded Congressman Yoho over several phone calls and in April of 2024 released video footage of his phone calls and an in-person meeting with Congressman Yoho.

In honor of his confession, we bring you this encore episode (our San Francisco studio is having some electrical work done)!

And as usual, we also include our robot overlord’s summary of the episode:

In this provocative episode of "Apologies Accepted," hosts Theo and Juliette engage in a detailed analysis of the infamous altercation between former Representative Ted Yoho and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The hosts dissect the incident, Yoho's denial of his derogatory remarks, and the broader issue of gender-based verbal abuse in political arenas.

The episode doesn't merely recount the incident but also invites the listeners for introspection on unprofessionalism, the effects on public apologies, and their absence. In their charming yet insightful discussion, Theo and Juliette make this dire issue digestible without shying away from the harsh realities.

The thought-provoking discourse extends not only to political apologies but also touches upon the golden years of Hollywood with discussions related to famed actress Liza Minnelli and her memorable projects. By exploring Yoho's misguided apology, this episode illuminates the significant role of sincere apologies in our public discourse.

Explore with us the hidden motivations and potential strategies behind Yoho's tirade. Was it a manifestation of personal disdain or a calculated move for his political future? Prudently related personal stories, thoughtful reviews of our actions, and enlightened lessons have all found a place in this episode.

Immerse yourself in this absorbing examination of power dynamics, personal intents and the far-reaching ramifications of such political clashes as we unmask the intricacies of the Yoho-AOC controversy.
