Episodes
Hog Panic
June 22, 2022 16:20 - 1 hour - 79.5 MBDan and Sam talk about the grim Bored Ape concerts, January 6th hearings and Mike Pence's brush with the hog mob, the ongoing GOP freakout over their children refusing to become homophobic and transphobic bigots, Hollywood's useless pledge to reexamine firearms use in the wake of Uvalde, and the hogs who can’t afford all the junk food they want to eat because of Joe Biden and his inflation. As usual, we ramble, it gets dark at times, and we have almost no idea of what we are talking about, b...
Law and Order: Havana Syndrome (ft. Barto and Jack Phinney)
May 27, 2022 04:08 - 2 hours - 127 MBTo make up for yet another extended hiatus, Dan and Sam slapped together a real barnbuster of an episode for the hogs. Return guest Barto (@ElBartoArmy) joined us for a wide-ranging discussion of ongoing hog happenings. We began on a more somber note, with a brief tribute to the king Gilbert Gottfried and desperate musings about our diseased, violent society in the wake of the unthinkable shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Luckily, we were able to lighten it up with Dan’s unwittingly encountering a ...
The Lord of the Rings: The Hogs of Power
February 21, 2022 02:54 - 1 hour - 77.4 MBOn this one the hogs caught up with recent Epstein-adjacent developments, the Queen’s rather nasty bout of COVID, and Trump’s new TRUTH social media platform featuring Kodak Black. We spent the rest of the episode watching the clips, including the Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, a literal waste of a billion dollars spent on dated video game cut-scene level CGI and characters absolutely nobody cares about. We also bore witness to the advent of the upcoming planned communities for Disne...
I Left My Hog in San Francisco
February 07, 2022 17:37 - 1 hour - 75.8 MBLike the bat signal on the blackened skies of Gotham, feral hogs have descended upon the San Francisco Bay Area to herald the return of Hog Planet. On our triumphant return, we poured one out for the fallen hog lawyer Michael Avenatti, whose string of heinous crimes, including extorting Stormy Daniels and the Nike Corporation, among others, could land him in jail for decades. Next, Dan and Sam rampaged through the discursive streets of the Joe Rogan vaccine and n-word controversies. Our host...
Kind of Breu
November 12, 2021 03:08 - 1 hour - 58.3 MBYour beloved hogs return to cover a story that seems like we made it up: Alec Baldwin’s tragic misfire on the set of Rust, the senseless death of rising talent Halyna Hutchins, and the toxic work environment that let it happen. Who is to blame? Baldwin? Assistant Director Dave Halls? Or 24-year-old set armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed? We turn to the least reliable sources to see what they think, like costume-designer-turned-scab-apologist Terese Magpale Davis, Gutierrez-Reed’s deeply soulless ...
Seditious Hog-spiracy
September 19, 2021 21:57 - 1 hour - 58 MBAnd now, we deliver unto you a long overdue look into the infamous January 6 riot at the Capitol, a watershed moment for hog culture. We reflected on that day when the Trump chuds were so sure that the Democrats were seizing control of the US government that they decided to just go ahead and try to do it themselves. We also checked up on some of the people who have been arrested and even sentenced for their roles in this exceedingly dumb release of misplaced aggression. We wrapped it up with...
It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like 9/11
September 13, 2021 07:04 - 1 hour - 73.5 MBThe hogs commemorated the 20th anniversary of 9/11 by actually entering the same room and doing the only thing they know how to do: podcasting. We took a trip down memory lane to unload every thought we have on “the day the world stopped turning.” We also watch some choice clips from this year’s 9/11, including Trump hosting a pay-per-view boxing match and Rudy Giuliani being drunk. If you listen closely, you can hear Sam's dog barking at George W. Bush. That’s what 9/11’s all about, Charlie...
The Twilight of the Cuomosexuals (ft. Josh K)
August 06, 2021 23:55 - 1 hour - 63.5 MBJosh K joins Dan to talk about his work with the NYC DSA EcoSocialist working group and about their new campaign. The two hogs get into the respective falls of liberal giants Andrew Cuomo and Bill Gates, god trying to punish Stephen Crowder, and deranged conservative advertising. You won't want to miss the San Diego police video about the definitely totally real dangers of fentanyl touching the skin, complete with shocking body cam video. Green New Deal for Public Schools Launch Call with ...
No Hog Is An Island (ft. Kevin Jun Ha and JR Murray)
July 30, 2021 15:59 - 1 hour - 71.7 MBFolks, the hogs are getting theoretical today. We had legit Marxists Kevin Jun Ha and JR Murray on to talk about how individualism as an ideology is fucking everything up these days and making it feel impossible to deal with the ongoing pandemic, climate change, and the growing threat of space billionaires. This sprawling overview touches on everything from Bezos to Frederick Jackson Turner and, mercifully, we only quoted Marx twice. Smash that play button if you’re trying to learn how to ca...
The Hog Days of Summer
July 27, 2021 15:42 - 1 hour - 61.3 MBIt’s a sweaty summer episode with the hogs as we talk boats, fireworks, summer camp, ice cream, and tragic masturbation. Dan and Sam apologize to at least 2 or 3 entire countries in this one.

Marxist Ideology and Racist Ideas
July 16, 2021 05:51 - 1 hour - 65 MBDan and Sam hopped on the mics in the middle of the night to pod about pressing cultural issues such as the newly proposed Washington Football Team names, failed NYC mayoral candidate Dianne Morales' delirious tweets, Jair Bolsanaro's hiccups hospitalization, and Spike Lee's woke bitcoin ad. We also look back at one year since the George Floyd protests and the ongoing hysteria about critical race theory that has bled over into the high school we went to. We showed off some of Dan's artwork a...
New Jack Ma City (ft. Andrew DiMola)
July 08, 2021 03:49 - 1 hour - 45.4 MBThe hogs are back yet again, with guest hog Andrew (@Zhadn_) in tow. Dan has the latest from New York's majorly stupid mayoral race. We are pleased to announce that Andrew Yang lost but saddened to say that Eric Adams is probably going to win. Just as Mr. Adams lives in Fort Lee, New Jersey, not New York, New York, Dan undeservedly received a jury duty notice for his home state of New Jersey, despite living in New York. Truly, the system has failed. Watch out for the transition where we sta...
Alien Hog Farm
June 29, 2021 04:44 - 1 hour - 103 MBWelcome back hog Stans - New York remains mayorless; Vin Diesel’s real name stinks; and Sam has basically zero opinion on Regis Philbin. Seinfeld is off streaming, but luckily, it’s burned into our minds indelibly (and available on DVD). Dan is yet again begging for 420 Twitter followers. He’s also recounting some stories, including: spotting a Beto 2020 holdout, shouting at a moving truck driver, and discussing Israel-Palestine with an elemental denizen of Coney Island. The Army is now admit...
Video Killed the Radio Hog
June 23, 2021 04:40 - 1 hour - 95.6 MBDan and Sam resurrect the pod to spew further hog nonsense about why we stopped liking the show as it was and why it's funnier and on VIDEO now. We yammered about the risible mayoral candidates trying to make New York City even worse, protests for public toilets, Biden's dreadfully unfunny presidency and considerable dog body count, the physical and spiritual incongruity between Scooby Doo and Courage the Cowardly Dog, and much more. Sam busted out at least 5 different virtual backgrounds fea...
No Wake Zone
September 25, 2020 15:02 - 1 hour - 113 MBDan and Sam reconvene to cover some hog news updates, including the disastrous Trumptilla on Lake Travis, the funniest revelation from Michael Cohen’s new tell-all, and the recently unsealed indictment of fan favorite Steve Bannon. We also try to pin down why Facebook seems so dire these days and how it changed from its unserious origins to its current chaotic state. We think you’ll like this one. It’s the perfect soundtrack to clinging for life as your 8-foot dinghy named Second Mortgage ge...
Nights at the Quarancinema 6: Into The Wild Hogs (ft. Luke Van Brandenburg)
September 13, 2020 22:40 - 1 hour - 92.4 MBTake a break from frantically posting about death by fire, plague, and flood to remember the bygone era of 2007, a pre-irony time when four prehistoric beasts starred in a Disney-sponsored comedy about being middle-aged. We are finally addressing the made-for-Hog Planet movie Wild Hogs (2007), a motorcycle flick about fearful, porcine men struggling to reclaim their masculinity. Joining us is Luke Van Brandenburg of the @boosegumps podcast, which you can find on YouTube and Spotify. We motor ...

Nights at the Quarancinema 5: Die Hard Tryhards (ft. Matt Greenberg)
August 24, 2020 11:52 - 1 hour - 125 MBThis week, we discussed the original Die Hard (1988), a true classic of the action genre, and how it subtly handles topics such as police bureaucracy, corporate greed, and the US-Japan trade relationship. Joining us for this one is a true Die Hard expert, returning champion Matt Greenberg of the Copilots podcast (@WeAreCoPilots). We try to answer the tough questions, like “is this copaganda?” “Is John McClane a cowboy or a samurai?” “Is there a difference?” Matt also helps us understand wher...
Covid-19 Jump Street (ft. Zelcer)
August 10, 2020 20:40 - 51 minutes - 70.6 MBOne of our real-life heroes, our deeply powerful high school English teacher Mr. Zelcer, joins us to discuss being an educator in the Covid times and the daunting task of preparing today’s youth for the future. In the post-game segment over on the Hog Planet Patreon, we discuss the continued devaluation of a liberal arts education and what it may portend for the future of imagination and our very souls. We also briefly sing George Saunders’ praises. Be sure to check out all of Mr. Zelcer’s e...
Tin Foil Hogs: Epstein on Netflix/Ghislaine in Jail (ft. Barto @elbartoarmy)
August 02, 2020 13:13 - 1 hour - 121 MBThis week the hogs have Barto (@elbartoarmy) on to discuss Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich, Netflix’s account of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s international criminal enterprise. The documentary benefits from in-depth interviews with survivors including Sarah Ransome, Virginia Giuffre, and Maria Farmer, as well as an illuminating, albeit brief look at the latter’s artistic depiction of her ordeal. But it suffers from some glaring omissions and collaboration with author and Clinton asso...
Jon Stewart: The Most Rusted Man in America (ft. Luke Savage)
July 24, 2020 12:07 - 1 hour - 93 MBSince former Daily Show host Jon Stewart was recently on a press tour promoting Irresistible, his mid-2000s time capsule of a feature film, it’s the perfect time to evaluate his cultural impact. To help us flesh this out, we chatted with Luke Savage (@lukewsavage), a true gentleman and scholar of mid-2000s liberal media. We discussed Stewart’s strengths and weaknesses, why he seems utterly despondent in the Trump years, and how empty his political ideology is, to the extent that it even exis...
Drag Me to Cornell (ft. Gaby Kubi)
July 18, 2020 13:50 - 1 hour - 111 MBThis week we had Gaby Kubi (@gabynotchatty on Twitter, @sugarkubi on Instagram) on to discuss her organizing with #DoBetterCornell (@dobettercornell and dobettercornell.com).

We also poked holes in some of the common myths in the discourse and concern trolling about campus activism, its methods and its perceived impermanence.

July 10, 2020 17:23 - 50 minutes - 69 MBDan and Sam get really local on this one and explore a controversy that recently rocked the Board of Education with jurisdiction over where we went to high school. We talked with Sarah Evelyn of Valley for Change, a newly formed anti-racist organization in the Northern Valley region of Bergen County, New Jersey. She gave us a crucial background on the organization’s successful push to advocate for the removal of Dan Eller, a former member of the Board of Education, after photos surfaced of h...

March 11, 2020 20:26 - 1 hour - 68.8 MBAs we near the end of the Democratic Primary, it has become a two-man race (will all due respect to Rep. Tulsi Gabbard). As these two old heads duke it out, it’s evident that former Vice President Joe Biden is not up to the task and would get completely laid out in a head-to-head with President Donald J. Trump.
