  • Two Things Can Be True at the Same Time

    Two Things Can Be True at the Same Time
    Jan 11 2026
    This week on The Snark Factor (WAMM Talk Radio), Fingers Malloy and Sarah Smith try to make sense of a world where the “big story” can change between Thursday’s recording and Sunday morning’s broadcast. They dig into the online frenzy over Venezuela, the endless cycle of narrative-building, and why “two things can be true at the same time” might be the only usable philosophy left. Then they tackle the Minneapolis ICE shooting—how partial clips shape public reaction, what the video appears to show, and why politicians and activists pushing civilians into confrontations with federal agents is a dangerous game. And because you can’t do hard news forever, Fingers takes a sharp left turn into his most honest confession yet: playing hooky at 7 a.m. at Harrah’s, drinking coffee that tastes like “wax, powder, and shame,” overhearing the single most cursed sentence ever spoken on a casino floor, and leaving with two allegedly worm-free hot dogs. Show notes (with timestamps) 0:00 – Quick plug: Eat, Drink, Smoke with Tony Katz 1:06 – Show setup: recording Thursday / airing Sunday; “what changes in between” 2:30 – Venezuela reaction + social media panic; skepticism vs celebration 9:40 – “Two things can be true at the same time” becomes the theme 15:35 – Minneapolis ICE shooting: what the video appears to show + the narrative war 19:22 – “Blue/gold dress” comparison: same footage, different “truths” 23:07 – Reset: hard news fatigue; FingersMalloy.com + podcast cadence 24:39 – Fingers plays hooky: 7 a.m. casino trip + video poker + cigar etiquette 36:13 – Overheard: “Older men give you worms… pinworms” 38:07 – Ford “eyes-off” autonomous driving + parallel parking disappearing 41:39 – Driver-assist paranoia: lane assist fights you, alarms everywhere 46:37 – Close + plugs: FingersMalloy.com / Three in Three / podcast platforms

    Minnesota Daycare Fraud, HUD Billions, and the Media Problem
    Jan 4 2026
    This episode of The Snark Factor takes a measured look at alleged fraud tied to Minnesota daycare centers, the media’s reaction once the story went viral, and what tends to happen when independent reporting forces coverage. Fingers Malloy and Sarah Smith also break down a HUD review flagging billions in questionable rental assistance payments, along with other examples of large systems struggling with oversight. The Snark Factor airs Sunday mornings on WAAM in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and is presented here in podcast form.
