215 - New Shitty Presidential Pants, Who Dis?

June 11, 2024 15:00 - 1 hour - 75.9 MB

Briahna Joy Gray booted from her job for crimes against zionistic propaganda. Joe Brandon one million percent shat himself on stage while memorializing D-Day. LGBT-GOP? Delusional or really delusional? Dark Brandon pleases Blue MAGA by doing exactly what Red MAGA wants. Nikki Haley signs munitions ("Finish them!") that will be or already certainly have been dropped on the heads of non-combatants/non-humans in Gaza. The Biden-Harris campaign motto seems a tad ominous and nearly the same...

214 - Mr. Birchum's Epic, Edgy and Totally Random Anti-Wokestravaganza

June 03, 2024 10:00 - 2 hours - 112 MB

We discuss The Daily Wire's latest original "entertainment" programming, Mr. Birchum, which is shocking unfunny and politically stale even by Daily Wire standards, all thanks to Adam Corolla's insistance that people will love the musings and non-adventures of his wildly beloved woodshop teacher character, Mr. Birchum. It's so fucking unbelievably bad. We cover the first the three episodes and still are unable to thoroughly cover everything that's notably wrong with them in 2.5 hours. So we m...

213 - Attacking The Hague With Our Spiritual Sapphism

May 25, 2024 12:00 - 1 hour - 66.2 MB

Quick Q&A in our accidental new segment Korea Korner. The ICC, the ICJ, and belligerance and mafioso style threats made by Lindsey Graham, Tony Blinken et al. Cartoonishly Evil Business Cabal's WhatApp Chat Gets Leaked, Consent No Longer Needs Manufacturing (+Remember Noam Chomsky being on the Epstein flight logs??) IDF threatens literal prepubescent children with wanted poster leaflets rained down from the sky, telling them to turn themselves in for being Hamas agents or face the conseq...

212 - Fake Violence For Zion, Fake Money For The Homeless

May 19, 2024 19:00 - 1 hour - 79.9 MB

Anthony Blinken rocks in the free world and eats pizza in a Nazi restaurant. [Factual correction: 48, not "like a hundred," people died in the Odessa Trade Union Fire.] Biden channels Dirty Harry and now we have three debates between him and Trump to look forward to. Huge windfall for the pharmacuetical amphetimine industry. Morning Joe gets righteously cucked by his own father-in-law, on TV, in front of his wife, back in 2009 RE Israel-Palestine. Biden shockingly continues to sell weapo...

211 - Something So Unbelievably, Surreally and Exquisitely Terrible That You Want to Share It With the Rest of the World feat. Adrian DeLaTorre

May 17, 2024 13:00 - 2 hours - 97.8 MB

We discuss the somehow fifteen years in the making, unhinged in all ways, crème de la crème of Bad Cinema—an animated kid's movie trying to cash in on 1995's Toy Story mania—Foodfight!  We gather 'round the table of the theater of the mind with good-bad cinema coorespondant Adrian DeLaTorre  (@b00tz2big) of the podcast Never Seen It and discuss all its mind-rattlingly grotesque CGI animation, bizarre and turbulent production backstory, the tyrannical and oblivious figure of Lawrence Kasanoff...

210 - Who Will Notice™ the Noticers™?

May 14, 2024 08:00 - 1 hour - 81.4 MB

MAGA diapers and brainworms.  More brainworms abound in the form of the ever-mindnumbing Red Scare podcast and their recent strokefest with the most boring and incoherent and inexplicably valorized of "race realism" blowhards, Steve Sailer. They have a wonderfully stupid time being little "Noticers" together. Farha Khalidi is the actually intelligent and interesting "Red Scare-esque," vocal fry monotoned, bohemian layabout-er, niche internet personality we need as an alternative to whatev...

209 - Sea-Lioning All the Way to the Bad Food Restaurant (Because We're Bored and Need a Cause, Any Cause)

May 04, 2024 20:00 - 1 hour - 80.7 MB

All the elements for an explosion of class struggle are amassing aboard the Serenade of the Seas' nine month long world-spanning, sanity-teasing cruise. Obama 2008 campaign ad that used the WUSSUP! commercial to inspire the unwashed masses. Change. That's wassup. Four distinctly stupid theories about why these dern kids are making such a ruckus from Skeletor-faced dipshit Professor Scott Galloway, Smugness Incarnate Trying to Devour Itself and Jack Off at the Same Time (Bill Maher), Faree...

208 - The Brave Little T-Shirt Wife

April 29, 2024 13:00 - 1 hour - 82.1 MB

We return to the more standard format of a flurry of cornucopias of pastiches of mixed bags of different topics.  Cucker Tarlson forcibly time travels us back to the culture wars of the mid 2000s by confidently denying that evolutionary theory is a viable reality.  Anthony Fauci did not have to conspiratorily create HIV to be the heinous person that he is.  The bravest lil wife and her Jew/Israel t-shirt. [Factual Correction: They went to the Yale campus not Columbia.] Prime Minister Bib...

207 - Taking Drugs To Make Podcasts To Take Drugs To (Although You Never Can Tell) feat. Elicia McCoy

April 21, 2024 08:00 - 2 hours - 96.7 MB

We dive into the widely heralded, earth-toned and Scorsese-helmed artifact of the mid-70s, The Last Waltz, with special guest Elicia McCoy. We discover extratexual tidbits, branch off into fractals of digression, share diverging and converging opinions alike, and generally have a hip and groovy time thinking about the Thankgiving Day 1976 vibes created by Marty's (yeah, we call him Marty, so what?) pioneering directorial efforts. The nature of art and commerce, uncanny links to Pulp Fiction,...

206 - Wall Street, Occupied

April 15, 2024 10:00 - 2 hours - 96.2 MB

Before we talk about the overall phenomenon and legacy of Occupy Wall Street, we briefly acknowledge the final betweeted words of OJ Simpson: "Hospice? Whatchoo talkin bout hospice?"  Referenced previous episodes:  124 - The Lost Boomer Death Squad Crossover Episode 070 - The CDC and Bill Gates: Normalizing Death 013 - WAR IS A RACKET!

205 - Perchance to Unplan, Babies to Blame, Sources Say

April 08, 2024 10:00 - 1 hour - 55 MB

We go strictly off-the-cuff. Something not done since Episode 064 - Our 11th Hour Improvised Episode. Come for the hodgepodge, stay for the fun talk about getting arrested and locked up. Extreme sleep deprivation (for one of us). Fake news generator (perchance.org/newsheadline). Self-haircuts: yea or nay? The rhythm method. Struggling mightily to locate a nagging memory of The Simpsons (found it later). The true pronunciation / kickass official emblem of Oman. Cute mascots for George Floyd. ...

204 - I'LL MONETIZE ANYTHING THAT MOVES!

March 31, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 68.9 MB

We discuss the new documentary series The Program: Cons, Cults and Kidnapping and the inexhaustable ability to exploit and capitalize upon anything under the sun, including 'troubled teens,' 'at-risk youth,' etc. We talk about the micro to the macro regarding the Troubled Teen Industry (TTI) and Josh brings along some firsthand experience with working at similar kinds of institutions to the conversation. Don't worry, there are still grim jokes and dark goof-em-ups. Past HDotU episodes relat...

203 - The Persistant Vegetative State of the Manosphere

March 25, 2024 14:00 - 2 hours - 88.3 MB

We talk about the origins, taxonomies, evolutionary arc and generally weird and grotesque nature of the broadly defined Manosphere/Redpill subculture.

202 - Do Not Worship This False Prophet From the Streets of Sesame!

March 18, 2024 09:00 - 1 hour - 72.8 MB

Daniel Hale is finally out of prison and has written an article that asks why he was locked up for the same crime Joe Biden has openly admitted to (although Joe's motives were far less noble than Daniel's). Jordan "Stop! Or My Dragon of Chaos Will Shoot!" Peterson continues to publicly lose his mind and keep the grift alive and well, redmeat-induced tears and all. Major publishers and broadcasters try to construct the thinnest of facades of apparent sanity over their evil deeds, journalis...

201 - Vote Blew No Matter Fuck You feat. Alex "WORLDWIDE" Kellar

March 11, 2024 13:00 - 2 hours - 108 MB

We're joined by Alex "WORLDWIDE" Kellar (@TheTowerSkin) of the Bored2Life podcast (@Bored2LifePod) to sift through the news rough in search of humor-diamonds and various truth-gems. Asking the difficult questions like, Where have all the good porn parodies gone? And why's cash being left on the table with the absence of an I ♡ Huckabees meets the Trumps incestual cuckholdry extravaganza? Biden and his sad dwindling fanclub also said and did a bunch of hilarious and heinous shit yet again.  ...

200 - A Bicentennial Saturnalia to Remember! feat. Jason Newland

March 04, 2024 07:00 - 2 hours - 84 MB

We ring in 200 episodes by answering randomized questions to get to know us better.

199 - That Rascally Vaush Will Keep You Gessen, Haddish?

February 25, 2024 16:00 - 2 hours - 85 MB

What's often lurking beneath the surface of libertarianism via Penn Jillette.   Will a socialistic revolution create a lowered age of consent? & the demarcation between toon and non-toon pornography & celebrity endorsement deals with the Israeli government via Vaush and Tiffany Haddish. Highly digressive "Red Scare Scrounge Up". Navalny's false martyrdom and his very real white supremacy. Matt Walsh (the bad one) acts-a-fool again. More ups and downs between Snoop Dogg and Trump. Trum...

198 - I'm Singin' in the Galactic Nympho-Insomniac Rain...Now feat. Adrian DeLaTorre

February 19, 2024 08:00 - 2 hours - 117 MB

After we address some news items of the day, we assemble at the General Council of Anthropomorphized Astrological Signs, along with good-bad cinema coorespondent Adrian DeLaTorre (Never Seen It / @b00tz2big), and discuss the brand new Jennifer Lopez vanity project / perfume ad / EPK for her new album / movie (?) This is Me...Now. Described to us in advance as being about JLo as a "Sex-Addicted Insomniac In Space" but it's so much more (and less) than that. Did Jane Fonda, Fat Joe, Neil DeGra...

197 - Hello Darkness My Old Friend feat. Jason Newland

February 14, 2024 04:00 - 1 hour - 71.8 MB

Just as we did in the infancy of this podcast in the fall of 2020 (008 - I'm Thinking of Ending Things) we cover the latest Charlie Kaufman (screenwriting) project: an animated children's movie about how we're all hurtling towards death (sorta), Orion and the Dark.

196 - A Supposedly Sympathetic, Well-Meaning, Elderly Man with a Poor Memory I'll Never Not Laugh at Again

February 10, 2024 09:00 - 1 hour - 64.5 MB

We're talkin' Biden keeping totally cool and calm and 1000% lucid during a press conference in which his cognitive faculties are mildly questioned. When they go low, he goes high. Real high. On secret amphetamines brewed in John Podesta's cauldron in the depths of the Pentagon.  Tim updates us in his Red Scare Scrounge Up (patent pending) segment.  Who wore the border wall and kid cages better, Biden or Trump? Will HRC run again? Kamala as running mate? We speculate not wildly or irrever...

195 - When Mating Strategies Fail

February 04, 2024 13:00 - 1 hour - 61.6 MB

A seriously digressive episode. Forty minute 'cold open' which hit the cutting room floor, which I then slipped on, banana peel style, only to bash my head into the editing bay console. When I came to, this episode was uploaded somehow. I may someday release the UNRATED UNCUT version. We talk a bit about the brilliance of James Adomian. Podcasting about podcasts a little bit. Though we manage to right the ship sometimes and touch upon topics like:  Why You Should Never Retire J "Through a ...

194 - There's No Sound I Don't Like, Solitary Mind Games, and Cage-based Parental Strategies feat. Jason Newland

January 31, 2024 03:00 - 1 hour - 57.5 MB

Mythic co-founder/cosmic wendigo/mid-wifery doula figure of the podcast, Jason Newland, returns as Tim's tending to highly classified, kinetic-style subterfuge-type affairs. The White House pharmacy is handing out all manner of psychotropics like so many sugary delights on All Hallows' Eve.  The more or less death of Pitchfork Media, which once gave Music, a mode of creative expression consisting of sound and silence expressed through time, a 6.8 out of 10 rating. Opioids keep wreaking havoc...

193 - Everybody Haaretz Sometimes

January 23, 2024 04:00 - 1 hour - 75.8 MB

Bryan "Don't Die" Johnson goes on Red Scare. God Made Trump. Speculation about the future and/or lack thereof. And more.

192 - Kamikaze Detroit feat. Adrian DeLaTorre

January 08, 2024 06:00 - 2 hours - 114 MB

Jay Leno and Pat Morita starred in a moving picture called Collision Course and we somehow decided to watch it and talk through our many complex feelings about it. We're joined by Adrian DeLaTorre from the Never Seen It podcast and take a look at this barely-existant artifact of late 1980s Hollywood, racism, and economic-based, lizard-brained fear. Is Jay Leno too nice/square to even believably pretend to be a jerk and/or drunk? Wait, w-w-w-what did Pat Morita nickname himself in the 60s and...

191 - How Many Years Can Dance on the Head of a Pin?

January 04, 2024 11:00 - 1 hour - 79.2 MB

Part meta-/accidental-Year-in-Review, part anhedonic spiraling, part analysis of predictions made 100 years ago about the Year of Our Lord 2024, part the world's sloppy lattice-worked and splatter-painted miscellania and detritus, part Pancake Party.

190 - Oh Well Whatever Never Mind: The Barack Obama Mandela Esquire Story

January 02, 2024 06:00 - 1 hour - 74 MB

In no particular order: classic Floridian manatee molestation; continued highlighting of author, lawyer, voice of a generation, and former IDF member Barack Obama Mandela, Esq; Gaza should aspire to become like post-War Auschwitz; rabbinical scholars teaching the IDF about permissible rape, righteous ethnic cleansing, and about how Hitler was just a little misunderstood, if you, like, really think about it; public school teacher threatens to behead a student due to a distaste for the symboli...

189 - An Immense and Complex Quantity of Brain Fog Protocol

December 17, 2023 03:00 - 2 hours - 85.5 MB

Trump's new humble, playfully self-effacing persona sells us pieces of his mugshot suit. Biden remains senile as ever, 65 years on the kibbutz, all compressed down to a 2.5 month timespan, will do that to a feller. TERRORISM-FENTANYL SCREAMS ACROSS OUR SKIES. Slick Willy Clints uses language-violence to make fun of Hilldawg. Satanists will troll to make a valid point, and weirdos will take it too seriously. Bryan Johnson still thinks he'll escape the eternal icy claws of nothingness forever,...

188 - Kobe-Lebron Goebbles Conquers America's Cursed Evolutionary Misstep of Consciousness

December 10, 2023 06:00 - 1 hour - 72.6 MB

Does Time Magazine's "Person of the Year" matter even just a little bit? Are Taylor Swift and George Santos truly folk heroes? Joe Biden gets debriefed on the dangers of AI by watching a blockbuster action movie while deeply sundowning, is mystified by his own deepfake memes, and was gripped by near-total confusion while people chanted the word "Genocide!" at him in Nantucket, surrounded by holiday cheer and flash photography. Poor little guy's had a hard couple of months. No one's had it to...

187 - How Do I Get Through to These Kids?! feat. Adrian DeLaTorre

December 04, 2023 11:00 - 3 hours - 129 MB

Alright, we did it, you got us. Just like every other podcast in the world  we decided to celebrate our 187th mainline episode with a viewing of the classic 1997 film, One Eight Seven. We're joined by Adrian DeLaTorre from the Never Seen It podcast to discuss and do a little postmortum examination in a longer-than-the-run-time-of-the-movie episode. We talk about the teacher-in-tha-hood subgenre, mid-90s errata, the inability of Samuel L. Jackson to be bad in even the worst movies, the peculi...

186 - The Podcast Equivalent of John Cage's 4'33" Turned Up to the Max

November 28, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 65.9 MB

In the most pressing news of the day, Snoop Dogg (formerly known as Snoop Lion) reveals what giving up smoke means to him, and totally isn't just reading copy, gets candid as hell. "Ceasefire," hostage swapping, proportionality, Dr. Eli's Hasbara Outlet Black Friday Sale (don't forget your DSA Cyber Monday sale either!).  J Robinette B sundowns harder than ever and will, in fact, save that kid with the psychic abililties (sniffs hair in order to read minds). Argentina goes full accelerationi...

185 - Who Needs Food, Water, Medicine and Electricity When You've Got This Abundance of Hasbara?

November 20, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 60.1 MB

We spent a lot of time reflecting and discussing with our families how to never forget 99% Hitler Voter Guy. Salon dot com seems to be writing satirical articles now...or are they? Nikki Haley wants us all to use our real names online, exempting herself, Nimarata Randhawa, from this data collection. She also thinks we ought to work until we give up the ghost, 65's way too young for retirement. Biden is certain of the location of TerrorCity but forgot when he was scared by Tony Blinken's deat...

Maximum Entropy Theater Presents "RoseBudGarden59 or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the #PsakiBomb"

November 15, 2023 10:00 - 13 minutes - 9.26 MB

The inaugural episode of what will likely turn into a regular type of series of shorter, scripted-ish bonus episodes. Some background, per our Discord: "Karine Jean-Pierre said some typically awful bullshit recently. So that got us talking about Psaki by comparison. Then I found a Psaki simp in her comments on twitter. I began imagining the hell that must exist in the mind of this man who lives for Monday nights with Jen and Maddow. This naturally led to the idea of Psaki erotic fanfiction...

184 - Court Room Sketches Against Humanity

November 13, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 63.5 MB

Various GOP bullshit. The Monarchy is too funny to exist. Zelensky doing the geopolitical equivalent of panhandling now. It's about time Homer Simpson stops physically terrorizing his son, says supposed "person" at the Guardian. P.S.

183 - An Ambulance as a Hornless Unicorn, Exploded

November 06, 2023 09:00 - 2 hours - 87.4 MB

Things get a little freeform and loopy. The abandonment of Zelensky. Tony Blinken dressing his son up as Zelesky and daughter as a Ukrainian flag for Halloween. More ghastly atrocities pile up overwhelmingly in 21st century Judaea. Try and pull out of the deathspiral of the topic into lighter climes: We put Biden's two Press Secretaries on the binary scale, this leads to satirical erotic fanfiction being written by yours truly, and then we dish about Ronnie DeSant's height-enhancing boots.

October 30, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 79.5 MB

Tennessee makes being unhoused a felony. In California, mobile homelessness is on the rise, but don't worry, there are some safe parking lots to sleep in. Another Californian development: The Ebony Alert system is finally here! Space Force continues to be uncanny and just off-beat enough subsection of the US Armed Forces.

October 22, 2023 02:00 - 1 hour - 78 MB

An olde tyme friend visits us. We have a chatabout. We each section one another for crimes against comedy/humanity. We vent spleens about Israel etc. We digress, digressively. Who will be possibly the next Pointless/Demagogical Mayoral-King-Duke of the USofA?  We talk some news of the weird. Australia gets America's wang transplanted upon it.

179 - Designated Surmiserz

October 08, 2023 10:00 - 2 hours - 85.5 MB

Kevin McCallister's been demoted to scamming the nation and fistfucking the globe from a less visible post. Political theater prevails as the dominant mindvirus. Commander Biden's list of crimes expands further. A Danish artist hilariously cons the High Art/Tax Evasion/Money Laundering World. Chicago TV news crew robbed in a very meta-fied way.  The depraved aeronautical sciences strike another beautiful soul down once again. Trump's fraud trial serves up more fodder for hidden messages to b...

September 23, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 66.3 MB

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 some hybrid of internalized Mormonism and The Singularity style futurism guru insanity. Cancer cases have skyrocketed in the last 30 years. AI-equipped robots are CEOs now. "Last-Chance T...

176 - Airplanes Spitting in the Face of the One and Only Lord and Savior

September 17, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 65.2 MB

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 is weird and its patches and insignia are even weirder (click here to follow along visually as we discuss them). Republicans are scramb...

175 - The Smart-Ass Book Reader Podcast

September 11, 2023 11:00 - 2 hours - 83.6 MB

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 officially signed a bill into law declaring Dudes to Rock; how the anti-trans movement has and will continue to accidentally destroy itself; bad j...

174 - I'm a Slave 4 Endorphins

May 28, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 74.1 MB

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 person ate a piece of art made by another possibly even more annoying person. 500 pounds of pasta mysteriously left alongside a stream in New Jersey. A...

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

May 21, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 63.1 MB

172 - Mayor Pete Needs to Return Some Video Tapes

February 25, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 69.6 MB

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 human-shaped triple-bleached dough with hair and teeth, David Frum, tells us why he's a no good autocrat. Updates o...

Back after our longest and unintended hiatus. Talking balloons, toxic clouds, uncanny valley AI eternal recurrence stuff, the world's first digital nation, royal paedo defense, Ghislaine Maxwell hosting etiquette classes for inmates, organ harvesting prisoners for pay, Amazon leaves more corpses on the warehouse floor, WW2 Part 2: The Ride, more sociocultural inner rot, Biden (or the series of handlers and amphetamines than comprises him) is harsher on Cuba than any previous president, and m...
