269・To Know and Feel All This and Not Have the Words to Express It Makes a Human a Grave of Their Own Thoughts

Recorded half a day before the US officially struck Iran, we vented, cleansed, and purged about the last week, which was jam-packed with escalations between American's gun in the shape of a genocidal illegal settler colonial state and Iran, including all of the absurd beyond all parody and satire levels of ulcer-forming propaganda and pseudo-debate and commentary surrounding this. Before and after that we try to keep things a little lighter and discuss how the universe is cruel because Kristi No...

268・Part-Time Sisypheans Drinking Deep From The Pitch Black News Well

Before two extended looks at 1) the nameless unrest in Los Angeles of late & then 2) the saga of the Freedom Flotilla, we broach the breaking news of Israel dEfeNsiVeLy first-strikkking Iran, and then keep it a little lighter with a casual cold open chat about other Content-style media, The Beach Boys' stranger/deeper catalogue, USofA Presidents literally and figuratively failing upward, and something actually good happening with Presidenta de México, Claudia Sheinbaum, and her ascendant Mor...

267・One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Sensed These Vibe Shifts

We play a little bit of catch up with an ol' flurry of news items style episode. Drink a pop cultural lust-object's actual bathwater, now in bar soap form. Sensually pop egg yolks on TikTok. Feel the delirous effects of fake time travel to early 2000s culture war issues. Porn, cannabis, chemtrails, oh my! Trump. Biden. Musk. Epstein. Kash Me Outside Patel. Vibe shifts detected in the Dailywire/IDW/Rogansphere. Ass-covering vibe shifts with regards to ongoing mass murder, starvation, and ethnic c...

266・The Only Direction is Down: Bunkers, Preparedness & Births in Reverse

We briefly attempt to subdue and clown upon the so-called "news" before casting its mind-numbing insanity aside and delving into the subjects of doomsday prepping and eschatology via Bradley Garrett's excellent and beautifully-timed/-written culturo-geographic book on the phenomenon of rejecting the allure of the distant stars for the womblike safety of the soil, Bunker: Building for the End Times . Recorded on Saturday, May 24th, 2025 around 10.30 AM Korea Standard Time Commiserate on Discord: ...

265・Pretendin' in an An-Prim Paradise

We look at a truncated overview of humanity's various oppositions to technological development, from Diogenes to The Dark Mountain Project, after laughing wildly at various insanities from the most recent news-cycle involving John "Shrekton LaVey" Fetterman and some unknown so-called president of the United States of America.

264・Every Automation is Computer!

Before we get into the subject of automated labor (various conceptions of, various modern applications of, etc) we do some old school retreading of The News™: 100 Days of Too Much Fun, Mohsen Mahdawi Puts a Significant Win in Our Plus Column, Actual Living Demon Itamar Ben-Gvir Goes to Washington, and more. Plus, Tim unboxes a breathalyzer and you won't believe the results! Recorded on Saturday, May 3rd, 2025 around 10.30 AM Korea Standard Time Commiserate on Discord: discord.gg/aDf4Yv9PrY Suppo...

263・Ready Player 伊隆馬

Vivian Wilson—who is shockingly cool and not deranged— recently mentioned that her father, one Eloo Ma, aspires to be like the virtual reality CEO guy in the 2011 book/2018 movie, Ready Player One, which he liked (?) so much that he'd force his children to read it when they misbehaved. So we looked closer at this piece of terminal nostalgia detritus and discussed how it may be representative of the pathetic pariah. Before that, we present the amuse bouche of Trump and Netanyahu reuniting in the ...

262・Derealization Incarnate

I thought that this had vanished forever due to a mental health crisis, but it has just now been found. Here's the unedited and purely Zoom-recorded track. We talk about a bunch of stuff relevant to the news cycle of March 8th, 2025. Get vulnerable with us.

261・The Air Up There

We behold the miracle of flight and its attendant spawn like airplane crashes, lists of twee explainer facts, corporate fascism, the liminal space of the airport, unrepentant missile strikes on passenger aircraft, and so forth. Before that, we do a little preamble and cover two topical stories in the up-to-the-minute news cycle: Liberation Day + Cory Booker's filibuster.

260・Every Accusation is a Failed Entertainment

We look into the repellent and deeply unfunny world of so-called comedy made on the internet by various genocidal lunatics with a pronounced fixation on a certain holy-style of land. Production note: This episode went through some technical issues and an accidental hiatus as Josh adjusted to new employment (as detailed in the cold open).

259・Incredible, Edible

We return after an unplanned month long hiatus (two yet-to-be-released episodes were recorded in that time and will be released eventually, sometime before this happens) and behold the humble everyday object of the egg and see what emerges from this locus of lifeforce, this cosmic ovum. This branches out into talking about the state of MAHA nation, cooking oil wars, soda wars, the Law & Order episode about Luigi Mangione, a Chinese scientific development giving us something— anything —to bel...

258・You Must Permanently Delete. I Can't Permanently Delete. I'll Permanently Delete.

Our geriatric politicians continue to physically unspool before our eyes, continued. /§/ News emerges that Bolsanaro tried to poison Lula, denies it, then begs for amnesty in a single news cycle. /§/ Both "Uber for guns" and the Mangione trial begin. /§/ A truly grim Zionist comedy of errors in Miami. /§/ White House Faith Office head honcho transcends human language. /§/ Sloppy Steve Bannon does paradoxical tryhard low-effort saluteplay, drinks while podcasting. /§/ Dogemusk continues to irrita...

257・Our Beloved Gerontocracy Yearns For Those Rare Earths But Only Deserve One-Way Ice Floes

Amuse bouche: Crass Popculture Corner (CPC) with Ye, an Italian-American troglodyte, Rid Kock, juggalos, Boebert. /§/ Russia-Ukraine-related USA's hard turn into throwing the proxy to the Azov wolves, Trump openly declares a protection racket project RE "rare earths," and Putin puppetry of the penis confessionals after dark. /§/ Trump claims he'll cut the Defense budget in half and that he'll halt nuclear weapons programs (as long as Russia and China follow suit regarding both). /§/ Joe Brandon ...

256・Worshipping the Golden Pager feat. Jason Newland

First and foremost, Biden's gonna be a real star in his post-presidency—I'm ready for my close-up, jack! More heightened and bombastic forms of business as usual continue on in the form of hacking and looting the treasury, beaucratic sleight of hand, casting poxes upon Gaza while publicly fellating at-large war criminals, the Democratic party doing hilariously ineffectual "resistence" i.e. controlled opposition, and so forth. Trump to enter a third term, have his likeness carved into Mt. Rushmor...

255・Howling the Quiet Parts Through an Amplifier the Size of Jupiter

Jeers and then cheers at, and then for, Electronic Intifada founder and editor, Ali Abunimah, being abducted and imprisoned, and then being released by the local Zurich gestapo at the direction of a deranged Swiss Zionist and government official. Condoms out for Hamas. Do you condom Hamas or not?? Trump's immaculate real estate brain generates ideas for the Gazan coastline, dismisses his very own epic ceasefire deal, and pivots towards doing a deep "cleaning" of that very unkempt land. Magical "...

254・I Beseech You, in the Bowels of Christ, Think It Possible That You May Be Musktaken

Overwhelming swarm of Trump 2.0 odd 'n' sods—inaugeration, absurd beyond all reckoning SiegHeilGate reactions, meme coin and AI scams, executive orders, Jan 6 and Silk Road pardons, foresaking John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, swearing in little blood-sluts like Rubio, Hegseth et al., turning Manifest Destiny ambitions towards Latin American perennial targets like Cuba and Venezuela, immediately abandoning even the fiction of the ceasefire—a list so long we couldn't possibly get to everything in our ...

Jan 26, 20251 hr 54 min

253・Ceasin' on Leavin' the Livin' (In RedNote Everything's Alright)

We reminisce about David Lynch, recently shuffled off this mortal coil. We get into all of the ceasefire drama from the past week and grapple with some of the darker implications and vent spleens at the demons behind it all. Anthony Blinken is righteously shouted at in various public forums. May he never have a single millisecond's peace for the rest of his days. Joe Biden's farewell address is so absurd that our heads nearly explode while trying to talk about it. Many Americans flock to the Chi...

252・The Libertarian Paradise Will Not Be Fireproofed & The IDF Will Occupy a Nobel Peace Prize

Dual wellness checks on Josh's influenza and Tim's state of being in the fiery epicenter of Los Angeles. Joseph Rword Biden's wild ass narcissism knows zero bounds. DEI is the most prolific arsonist of all time, while Mother Nature just wants a very specific and pampered form of liberty. Cast a pox of schadenfreude upon Woods, Gibson, Corolla, et al. Long live the new skin grafts! Fresh out the Romanian clink, Andrew Tate creates the BRUV PARTY with his catatonically "masculinized" brother in or...

250・Last Call For the Final Countdown (Enjoy your worries you may never have them again)

Closing out the calendar year with a part retrospective, part digressive and part scattershot approach to carving our little slice of vandelism into the broader granite of the latter December 2024 of it all. GOP's "civil war," the most important change dot org petition of our lifetime, anarchocapitalist ghost-dog-/sister-whisperer Javier Milei continues to ruin lives (Argentine and otherwise), from Assange to Mangione we stan a hero, US mass shooting stats stay securely on top as being the most ...

249 - Behold the Invisible Hand of Mangionean Excellence

The Co-Pay Killer, The Invisible Hand, The Claims Adjuster...Luigi. We dig into the past week of wild developments in the saga of the United Healthcare CEO and the Permanent Denial of Coverage: folk hero status, unhinged and sneering op-eds, oceans of contradictions, ideological mask-dropping, copycats, Elon Musk using human shields, and more! Syria's collapse and rebirth as something almost definitely worse. South Korea's martial law debacle unravels to reveal cartoonishly stupid though potenti...

248 - Thoughts and Prayers Are Out-of-Network, A Bullet in Brain is a Pre-Existing Condition + Laugh Tracks, and Still Somehow Being Pathologically Bored in the USA

Quick hits on the Destiny/Nick Fuentes sex tape & how we should never firget Pine Eleven . South Korea (and therefore Josh of the pod) was under martial law recently. Hunter Biden has been pardoned of all crimes committed known or unknown for the past 11 years. Hmm, what started happening in 2014?? The Co-Pay Killer unites our divided nation (kinda) and hopefully helps create an atmosphere of fear and paranoia amongst the murderous ruling class. People can only be dehumanized and immiserated...

247 - Unalivesgiving Miracles Are All Around Us

In true Thanksgiving miracle fashion, Virgil "Alexis" Texas emerges from the banishment of the podcast wilds to weigh in on the annoyingly persistent article-fodder question of 'Can liberals podcast as hard as conservatives?' The Kamala Harris campaign looks more and more like just another $1.5 billion dollar scam. Crooked Media is advertising on the Megyn Kelly Show (while the Red Scare morons are guests) — the Fayfabe, it grows! Who wore their meaningless Thanksgiving missives best this season...

246 - A Fresh Batch of National Humiliation Rituals

After missing a week, we catch up on the Trump cabinet picks and the most recent developments therein. How much of 2016 will be painfully and absurdly repeated or not? Will the brave Alec Baldwin say "YOU'RE WELCOME" to the nation once more? Biden stumbles—like up so many stairs to Air Force One—ever closer towards igniting a nuclear exchange with Russia before leaving his personal mortal coil. The ICC issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant. Commiserate on Discord: discord.gg/aDf4Yv9Pr...

244 - The Rise and Fall of the Megalopolian Empire

We review Francis Ford Coppola's polarizing, self-funded, $120 million dollar, sci-fi epic, Megalopolis . A film forty plus years in the making, which possibily predicted 9/11, is jammed full of oft-disjointed dialogue, Shakespearean theatrics, experimental cinematography and effects, allegedly THC-fueled throughout, undergirded by undergraduate philosophical fixations, bepopulate with very talented performers, and despite most people's reactions, positive or less than, there seems to be a large...

243 - Well Then Who Ever Will Uphold the Groceries For Genocide Program?!

We talk about the state of Horse Race 2024, and each camp's various attempts at outreach and appearing human-esque. Tony Hinchcliff more like "Tony Should Jump Off a Cliff," amirite, folks?? Then Tim reports from the field about Ana Kasparian's supposed mental breakdown and we get into the whole wide world of youtube leftist gossip shows (just one, really). We both hype up Megalopolis and tease the possibility of covering it on the show. Commiserate on Discord: discord.gg/aDf4Yv9PrY Support: pat...

The sadly beautiful and beautifully sad Human Experiment™ as seen at 17,000 miles per hour. Continued. Transmitted from the Extremely Above Ground Bunker once again. Some lurking into the strange world of GㅇㅇGㄴㅌMaps as it relates to bizarre, yet officially reviewed places within the walls of the White House.
