Week of Resistance

Between January 30, 2017 and February 3, 2017, Red State Update aired on a daily basis, with Jackie and Dunlap motivated to change temporarily to a daily schedule as a result of Donald Trump's January 27, 2017 executive orders on immigration. During the week, the who discussed such news items as the firing of Sally Yates, Trump's hostile phone call with Malcolm Turnbull, the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the United States Supreme Court, and more. During this time, the pair had two sponsors: During this week-long series of podcasts, each episode ended with Bill Berrynutt and the Talking Christmas Gift singing a duet, although Berrynutt, apparently due to his advancing case of Christmas Disease, becoming increasingly insensible and seeming to be in pain. By Episode 224, the Talking Christmas Gift was left singing along and gently weeping.
 * As Good As A Chair. Burt Perkins, a good friend of Jackie, runs this business, which sells items that can be sat upon, like chairs, but does not sell chairs himself. Items sold that are claimed to be as good as a chair include, buckets, barrels, bean bags, box fans, and a mattress. Dunlap argued that a bed mattress should be in a bed store. In the back is a section of the store called "Same As An Ashtray."
 * New Spaghetti. Heather Purtle and her sister, Kayjak, launched New Spagetti with the catchphrase "All Will Be Revealed." Dunlap was coy about whether this was even a food product, much to Jackie's frustration. The product underwent some transformation during the week, with there being a parallel New Spaghetti Ultra also launched. Too, the product changed its name to Old Spaghetti after New Spaghetti seemed to be siding against taxicab workers going on strike in protest of Trump's executive orders. However, the name changed back to New Spaghetti the following day, and after that, it became New Spaghetti Crystal.
