Episode 251: Russell Brand (Part 1)

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)

Brad and Liv have blown into their cartridges and booted up some truly disturbing games. This week, we've prepared a potluck style new year's brunch with a handful of dishes for you to pick at as you lay in bed, wracked with guilt about already breaking your resolutions. Later in the episode you’ll hear Jake break his NDA as a quality assurance tester at *bleep*.

Episode 261:  Pilled Game Developers

We had some other news items to discuss, but the bulk of this episode is taken up with one piece of breaking news: Did you know that there's a tunnel under Eastern Pkwy? Yes we’re discussing the ridiculous story out of Brooklyn about a group of Chabad-Lubavitch members attempting to dig a secret and unlicensed tunnel under the streets of Crown Heights. We also take a look at Bill Ackman facing some blowback against his wife in his crusade against “academic plagiarism”. Alone, you come India.

796 - Tunnel Kings (1/9/24)

2024 is off to a great start.  New Epstein documents drop, Mike Flynn tweets that #PizzagateIsReal, and kraft retailer Etsy is being accused of selling ‘bespoke children’ on their marketplace.  It’s a throwback QAA-style ep where Julian, Jake, and Travis begin to unravel at the realization that they’re about to relive 2016 for the seventh year in a row.  Is Etsy really engaged in human trafficking?  Is Pizzagate actually real?  Are there still unanswered questions about the Epstein scandal?  No, no, and yes.

Episode 262:  Etsy, Pizzagate, Epstein

In this News Brief, "Quantifying the Media's Selective Humanity in Gaza," we are joined by Adam's anonymous co-author of their two recent studies—one of print media and one of cable news—detailing US's media's double standards when covering the 'Gaza conflict.'

News Brief: Quantifying the Media's Selective Humanity in Gaza

We attended the X3 Porn Expo in Los Angeles thanks to our guest Zoë Ligon, author of 'Carnal Knowledge: Sex Education You Didn't Get In School', founder of the Spectrum Boutique sex shop and Onlyfans content creator. We discuss her experience running a booth at the event, creating for onlyfans, and running a sex toy shop. Plus Julian gets bullied for writing poetry.

PERVERTS Episode 7: Attending the X3 Porn Expo feat Zoë Ligon (Sample)

In a 4-quadrant Chapo, we make broad generalizations about various regions of America and their respective snack foods, make fun of a pundit's bizarre and inept behavior online, gawk at MAGA-realm apocalyptic stupidity, and finally examine liberal vacuousness from a new writer earning their first-time Reading Series Author challenge coin.

412 - Protests of the Dead (4/20/20)

The story of how "otakus" in 1980s Japan connect to the far-right conspiracy known as QAnon. How the alt right and the Capitol Riots are traceable to anonymous imageboards started by teenagers to trade anime. How 4chan birthed a group of hacktivists known as Anonymous and law enforcement destroyed it. And how social media companies lined their pockets while the credulous media were taken for a ride by organized trolls.
