A repository of vocalized ideas and cynical reflections on the state of the human heart.

000 – Easy Rider 2: The Ride Back – Commentary Track feat. Boomer Death Squad
If you want to watch along, I'm sharing my copy of the movie along with a separate subtitles file (which is essential due to the terrible sound mixing on this cinematic masterpiece). In what is now a annual tradition come August, we celebrate surviving another year in podcasting with the gentle souls of Boomer Death…

157 – Do The Chinese Even Bury Their Dead?
Chuck Schumer's gang blows all of our minds (and our genitalia). Pizza, pizza. A North Carolina school district will install safes full of AR-15s to help the underfunded police. Malcolm Gladwell secures his position as an absolute piece of shit. Monetarily-mediated AI friendships are on the rise. Megan McArdle tries to cover her neocon core…

156 – Nuke My Moon Away
We discuss three desperate, pleading, bottom of the barrel ideas to halt climate disaster: nuclear war, dim the sun with chemicals in the air, and blow up the moon (for real). Celebs be private jetting too much (and Jason learns about just how far LA really is from NYC). Biden gets covid again. The CDC…

155 – Stephen King & Stepan Bandera Tag-Team feat. Timothy Robert Buechner
Jason's on vacation, so I had the pleasure of sitting down with Timothy Robert Buechner of the We Don't Know Wrestling Podcast Network and ending up with a sprawling-in-the-best-way, fuller-length episode. Biden v. Trump w/r/t Covid-19, mental deterioration, and more. Mayor Pete has a weird exchange while testifying before Congress in which he cartoonishly pledges…
-
154 – Just Livin’ the Duck ‘n’ Cover Fever Dream
NYC's duck 'n' cover PSA. A couple of congress members make far too little, far too late (and probably cynical and calculated) gestures in defense of whistleblowers. Abe's whitewashed legacy and why some in Korea and China are celebrating his assassination. The necessity of prison labor (i.e. slavery) said aloud in Arizona. Millennials & renewables…

153 – The Sound of God Jr. Screaming Has Been Removed
Trump on Musk literal violence. Now you can eat the rich at $10 a pop. Do you make more per month than Xi Jinping? Sri Lankan uprising. Biden reads teleprompter instructions. The wall building never ends, even though the chanting has. Mayor Pete makes pathetic plans. Limewire's back, this time in NFT form. Akshualee, it's…

152 – The Kamala Harris Aphorism Viral Load
A severe case of journalistic integrity busted all over the face of the news crawl (see the sources below for more specifics).

150 – Unwind After Work and Fail the Turing Test
We stitch together the false start recording from last week with the continuation a week later. Gay bullets, gay burgers. Google's AI labs have leaked something interesting. Nothing Will Fundamentally Change still has not fundamentally changed. War and strife, up is down, erotic nukes and frothy jingoism. Socialist in-fighting. Mexico's President AMLO goes HAM after…

149 – Wittgenstein Was Far More Based Than Elon Musk
One of our longest cold opens yet. Colombian electoral politics take a tentatively promising leftward turn. Mass shootings, American exceptionalism par excellence. A dipshit congress-thing weighs in on the discourse and let's us know that wokeness and CRT are the main culprits for causing mass shootings. Weird, obsessive clickbait harassing Greta Thunberg is clicked upon,…
