    177 – Wave Bye-Bye to the Bureaucrat & Last Chance Tours, Inc

    South Koreans have a bizarre way of keeping track of people's ages, and it's going out of style. Sean Penn is a vile idiot who should've saved us all on 9/11. Some run of the mill tech-bro got a wild hair up his ass and is emotionlessly, delusionally, grandiosly and obsessively chasing after immortality via…

    176 – Airplanes Spitting In the Face of the One and Only Lord and Savior

    We briefly revisit the Metaverse and its grand announcement that they've finally added (sort of) the god-kissed locomotive powers of legs to the little Metaverse representation pixel-creatures. We digress about the man-o-sphere for a bit. Airplanes and their great lack of crashing into one another: humdrum miracle or vile affront to the Almighty? Space Force…

    175 – The Smart-Ass Book Reader Podcast

    There's been a shift in the 'cast's, um, cast. Past guest Timothy Robert Buechner joins as an official cohost. We talk through and detour from topics such as microplastics in our brains; the nature of well-crafted clickbait via murder-by-dessert and mailing cadaver bits 'n' pieces through a FB/Meta group; other podcasts; a Nebraskan governor whose…

    174 – I’m a Slave 4 Endorphins

    We take a brisk tour through various current AI implications. A “free” 55-inch flat screen TV that merely wants to turn your living room into a advert-hellscape. A possibly inebriated driver switches seats with his dog, the officer in question may never notice the oddness of this. In Portugal, canine lifespan records, shattered. Some annoying…

    173 – Inside the Mind of a Boston Dynamics Robot Laughing With Salad While Beating Themselves Over the Head With The Bible Every Morning

    We eulogize the Metaverse, read the lips of King Charles, hear Mr. Musk out (not really) on why working remotely is evil, discuss Patient M: The Man Who Was Shot in The Head And Woke Up Seeing The World Backwards, chat about a youtuber deliberately crashes a plane to get the hearts going in the…

    172 – Mayor Pete Needs to Return Some Video Tapes

    Another overstuffed episode (with leftovers for next time). French labor unions cut off electricity and gas to targeted homes of politicians and billionaires. A string of articles showing more hubris and self-cannibalization in the nervous system of USofA. “Nothing will fundamentally change, jack, unless it's for the worse!” AMLO dramatically increases Mexico's minimum wage and…

    171 – What’s the Deal with ‘Nothing, Forever’?

    Back after our longest and unintended hiatus.

    169 – Give Me Stock Buybacks or Give Me Death

    Competitive grave digging in “vampiric” Eastern Europe. The world's tallest jail—who dare says the US can't still aspire to greatness? In China, fifty year old “Uncle Chen” can beat the average marathon time—while chain-smoking the whole way. The constellation of handlers, pharmacists, and groper-conversion-therapists that comprise “Joe Biden” asked the “Presidential Emergency Board” to weigh…

    168 – Make Neoliberalism Based Again? feat. Timothy Robert Buechner

    Timothy Robert Buechner returns as dual guest & substitute cohost for Jason. We talk about the fledging effort to make neoliberalism cool (again?); the nature of all 'centrisms'; Volcels are Basically Cows; how the most labor friendly president in US history has recently shown his friendliness to railway union members; how the NYTimes has suddenly,…
