174 - I'm a Slave 4 Endorphins
May 28, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 74.1 MBWe 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...

February 25, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 69.6 MBAnother 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...
171 - What's the Deal with 'Nothing, Forever'?

December 17, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 49.5 MBWe talk AI, ramshackle border wall construction, the world's largest doomsday bunker community, the "country"/cult within Germany that doesn't recognize the modern State, Floridian PPP grifter Daddy 'n' Sons op, self-defeating marriage equality legislation, precocious youth run amok, downtrodden youth in handcuffs, British colonialism's staggering destruction, and a breakthrough in fusion energy that may or may not stem the blood-red tide that approaches.

169 - Give Me Stock Buybacks or Give Me Death
December 07, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 52.2 MBCompetitive 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 in on the nightmarish and recently revisited railroad union "negotiations," only to discover the irr...
168 - Make Neoliberalism Based Again? feat. Timothy Robert Buechner
December 04, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 76.9 MBTimothy 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, cynically, meaninglessly, developed an interest in human rights vis-à-vis Julian Assange; and finally, where are the best places to survive nucle...

October 21, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 59.8 MBWe spouse-swap the standard all-encompassing geopolitical &/or generalized existential doom for the humdrum miracle of other sorts of headlines, those on the margins of the edges of the normie strata of the lunatic fringe.

159 - Stuff Paul Krugman's Smug Mouth Full of Thorium and Yunnan Cypress Leaves
August 24, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 60.5 MBIs a broken Rand Paul right twice a day? People focusing on all of the wrong things with regard to Trump's legacy (e.g. forget debunked Russiagate myths and January 6th, and look toward WWIII inciting foreign policy first). Does North Korea have anything the US wants and can scoop up into a net? Will Jurassic Park-like tech magically save the planet? Speaking of climate disaster mitigation: China and India have better ideas in mind a la trees and thorium-based energy production. Canadians tu...
158 - The Sky Was Crystal Blue, Just Like 9/11 feat. Boomer Death Squad
August 17, 2022 03:00 - 3 hours - 157 MBIn what is now a annual tradition come August, we celebrate surviving another year in podcasting with the gentle souls of Boomer Death Squad (Danny, Matt and sadly Joe couldn't make it) by covering a remarkably bad, politically-bent, movie. Last year, we commented on what was the GW Bush era time-capsule / series of wrong turns and bad calls (by a legacy act spoofmaster of Zucker Brothers of residual fame) called An American Carol. This year, we turn toward even sleazier, more mind-bendingl...

August 17, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 76.7 MBIf 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).

157 - Do The Chinese Even Bury Their Dead?
August 10, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 66.7 MBChuck 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 with philosopher name-dropping. Gig economy will destroy us all.

156 - Nuke My Moon Away
August 05, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 74.7 MBWe 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 hates your fucking guts. Amazon expands its Cthulhu-like tentacles into the medical industry. Bank of America fucking hates your guts. Child labor in Alabama. WH Press Secretary has a mind-bo...
155 - Stephen King & Stepan Bandera Tag-Team feat. Timothy Robert Buechner
July 30, 2022 04:00 - 2 hours - 116 MBJason'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 fealty to whoever he has to in order to get ahead. Stephen King is hilariously pranked and promotes genocide in the process. Then...
154 - Just Livin' the Duck 'n' Cover Fever Dream
July 18, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 73.6 MBNYC'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 are the real problems here. It's terrifyingly, soul-shittingly hot these days. Never Forget: standwithdanielhale.org Commiserate on Discord: di...
153 - The Sound of God Jr. Screaming Has Been Removed
July 16, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 56.9 MBTrump 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 good that things are bad. Bolton/Pompeo scream the quiet parts. More Uvalde horrors. It's so hot that birds are falling out of the sky. Commiserate on Discord: discord.gg/...
152 - The Kamala Harris Aphorism Viral Load
July 08, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 51.5 MBA 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
June 17, 2022 09:00 - 2 hours - 84.3 MBWe 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 boycotting Biden's condescending little summit of the Americas. Recycling is fake, the Unabomber was right. A prison bans books...
149 - Wittgenstein Was Far More Based Than Elon Musk
June 02, 2022 16:00 - 1 hour - 66 MBOne 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, discussed. Marjorie Taylor Greene makes a *shockingly* *stupid* proclamation, and has four less syllables in her name tha...
148 - Change the Currency to Oak Leaves, Greenspan!
May 24, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 51.7 MBBiden's in our neck of the woods. Some weird facts interspersed for palate cleansing. Let's hope Lula can displace Bolsonaro (whom Musk is courting in dangerous ways). Sonic inflation, don't even look it up. The NYT claims that the good times are upon us! Mayor Pete accidentally critiques capitalism on TV. A German will make a movie about the subtle and all-equalizing majesty of Japanese restrooms.

147 - Technical Difficulties in the Beautiful Sinkhole's Ancient Forest
May 20, 2022 05:00 - 30 minutes - 21.3 MBWell we had a major recording problem in which Josh's track stopped recording about 20 minutes in and wasn't realized until about 90 minutes into the podcast. So we released those first 20 minutes, tacked on an explanation and some recommendations. Sorry 'bout that. We were actually keeping the mood relatively light for once, too, which paradoxically makes me think there's some deeper force out there dictating that our overall tenor be one of doom. Not really, but, ya know, just feels like s...
146 - Give My Stimulus Check to the Palo Alto Capsule Life Correspondents Dinner
May 10, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 58.1 MBElon Musk hilariously, idiotically, feigns worries about the CIA finding him with two self-inflicted gunshots to the back of the head (emeralds pour out according to crypto-bro lore). Updates and reminders on Steven Donziger, Julian Assange and Daniel Hale. A brief rage spiral directed at the White House Correspondents Dinner and Trevor Noah's bafflingly tone deaf and hypocritical self-suckjob concerning the US "free press" and all its intrepid journalist-poet-warriors. Aggressively pushing...
145 - New is the New Old
May 03, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 68.9 MBBack after a weird, unexpected, two week hiatus and talking about the incoherent mess of artificial "cool" and "intellect" that bored billionaire Peter Thiel is amassing around him like a human moat AKA The New Right. Josh wishes actual non-parodic, non-satirical bodily harm upon the insufferable PhD in Edge Lord Studies incarnate, Curtis Yarvin. Et cetera.

The immense tragedy of the Saudi siege upon Yemen. A bird shits on Biden and reminds us of "Birdie Sanders," etc. MEP Clare Daly goes off on actual Nazi-saluting MEP Angel Dzhambazki during a parliamentary proceeding. WWIII flare up. Covid, etc. NYT affirms the glaringly obvious about Hunter Biden's laptop, penis. Digressions and a lot of movie chatter in ...
143 - In the Foothills of the President's Decaying Synapses
April 12, 2022 14:00 - 1 hour - 71 MBBiden tops himself topping himself. Robber Barrons be robbin' (teachers, specifically). Starbucks cracks down on labor unions. Amazon does the same in an even more dystoptian manner (see: list of banned words). Global supply chains be breakin' down. Student loans be unforgiven. People be lonely and weird and sex is off the menu for unintuitive reasons. Peter Thiel & Co. want to take away our fun drugs and MKULTRA them on our asses. Elon be Elon-ing.

141 - Biden's Poppers Habit Equals Imminent Nuclear Winter
April 01, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 50.4 MBTeachers must side-hustle to survive. More budgetary sadism from the Grand American Experiment. SARS-CoV-2 manages to create millions of orphans despite no longer and/or never existing. Joseph Robinette Biden may set off nuclear annihilation through typical senile outbursts stutters gaffes etc. South Korean labor unions invoke Squid Game while organizing a general strike.

139 - Mark Linkous Explains It All
March 25, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 64.1 MBThings get loose and levity reigns (mostly) while discussing things that don't cast a shadow. Standard Stateside corruption. Jason tests Josh's miserable understanding of the FBI's Guide to Internet Slang. World War III still can't be ignored no matter how much we may like to (sudden remembrance /slash/ recommendation: "Human Moments in World War III" a short story by Don DeLillo).

March 14, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 60.3 MBBiden could single-handedly expand Medicare to everyone (and of course he won't). Dilyana Gaytandzhieva's rigorous and detailed reporting on US bioweapons labs staged around the globe finally gets some vindication. Ukrainian Nazism is not to be dismissed as insignificant. Larry Summers and Stephen Colbert act like assholes on TV. The current state of sanctions, global economy, etc. One of us, guess who, feels miserable about everything (hint: It very well may be both of us). Support: patre...

March 10, 2022 16:00 - 1 hour - 71.1 MBOne of us saw The Batman. The other doesn't care at all about spoilers. We talk all, or many, things Caped Crusader and discuss multiple socio-political interpretations of the various incarnations of the property, as well as some of the more surface level elements of these chiropteran narratives.

Nancy Pelosi’s remote controlled corpse malfunctioning on live TV right behind Joe Biden while he slurred every fourth word due to a childhood stutter that comes and goes when a convenient explanation is needed. We talk about not talking about Russia-Ukraine (then later can't help but talk about it a bit). Condi Rice tries to get her own damn self put on trial for crimes against humanity. Josh quizzes Jaso...

A rightwing ideologue who helped prosecute Donziger on behalf of Chevron is now being appointed by Biden to be a judge on a federal circuit court. A simple country billionaire doesn't know what all the fuss is about with wealth and resources being concentrated in the hands of a few people. The Grayzone has lost an amazing reporter in Benjamin Norton (who is carrying on with a new project called Multipolarista), likely due to disagreements about the ...

Ruthless privatization in general continues to be ruinous to hearts (literally) and minds.

January 18, 2022 21:00 - 1 hour - 64.1 MBBack from an 11 day hiatus, our longest since beginning the podcast, and sassier and brassier than ever. Grab your kente cloth and take a knee as we discuss how MLK's been whitewashed and used to advance vile agendas by those who still pay nominal "respect" one day a year.
