Low effort episode. Major news event and they can barely squeeze out an hour.

Yeah I really wanna know how Isreal got smoked so much like this

Crazy how yoy guys just breeze over the entite hamas terror attack in under a minute saying they were simply “arresting” people. Your guy mohammads language towards the attack makes it sound more like a diplamatic talk.

Not a single word about it being sad or bad. Just right into how israel is the oppressor and is killing people.

Forgetful 9/11 to all our listeners. We start today’s show with an examination of the various kinks of American states. Then: Elon aka Mr. Too-Damn-Cap claims to have disabled starlink to scuttle a drone attack in Ukraine; and a chronical of the various humiliations Rudy aka Mr. Too-Damn-9/11 has suffered lately. Finally, a harrowing piece on the private companies attempting to foist metaverse VR into children's education.

766 - Mt. EverQuest (9/11/23)

We cover a spurt of stories about politicians being horny, starting with of course Lauren Boebert’s broadway handy. Then, have you seen this plane?: the air force loses an F-35 somewhere in South Carolina. Finally, we have a reading series on Mitt Romney’s self-mythologizing retirement announcement that eventually morphs into a rumination on the fate of empires.

768 - Handjob for the Recently Deceased (9/18/23)

We begin our multi-part series on the legends and myths swirling around the POW/MIAs allegedly left behind in Indochina with an explanation of how we got there in the first place: The Vietnam war, the Golden Triangle, secret bombings, aerial campaigns, army wives, and Ross Perot.

Episode 321: Dude Where’s My Dad: POW/MIAs (Part One)

We are back. What a week to take a break, huh? We catch up on Nazi officers in Canadian parliament, Sen. Bob “Goldbar” Menendez, Sen. Dianne “RIP” Feinstein, an assortment of madcap Trump statements, China repossesses its Pandas, and more. 

Thank you for bearing with us through all of this. Programming should continue as usual now. Movie Mindset Halloween Edition starts this Wednesday 10/4/23, and we have some more surprise treats coming to the Patreon when that’s wrapped up in November.

773 - Israeli Self Harm Force (10/16/23)

David J. Roth joins us this week as we continue discussing the relatively limp and unconvincing propaganda emerging around the Israel-Gaza war. Then, David gives us his review of “Moneyball” Michael Lewis’ new book on Sam Bankman-Fried, and we take a look at a new Washington Post piece chronicling Jim Jordan’s career arc from college wrestling champion to almost-Speaker of the House.

Author Vincent Bevins returns to the show to discuss his new book “If We Burn” covering the “mass protest decade.”  We discuss global protest movements from Brazil to Tunisia to Egypt to Chile, how they’ve affected or failed to affect global politics, and how the last decade of protest and activism relates to the ongoing conflict in Palestine.

Will, Felix and Amber pick up a few stories we missed last week, including Tim Scott girlfriend reveal (and campaign end), and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson’s father/son porn monitoring. We then look at a litany of increasingly absurd bungles and PR disasters from the Israeli government, all from just the last week.

781 - Goon Dad (11/13/23)

TrueAnon’s Brace Belden returns to the show as the crew continues discussing the war in Palestine. We look at Israel’s military shortcomings, the IDF’s penile obsession, the domestic propaganda war, and some measures Biden could take we might actually support. We also touch on Gavin Newsom’s vetoing of an anti-Caste based discrimination law, and a Ron DeSantis aide who apparently willed himself to death.
