Welcome to The Conditional Release Program, a podcast that delves into the netherworld of cults, crims and con artists.
Who would have thought a spicy chest cough would turn everyone so completely mad?
Our weekly show covers the conspiracy theorists that created a 'shadow pandemic' of political idiocy and violent ideation within the fringe of politics.
From time to time we get our hands even dirtier with true crime deep dives. Jack is a seasoned expert in the true crime genre, having written and spoken extensively about Roger Rogerson, Stan 'the man' Smith and, of course, the Fine Cotton Fiasco. In various episodes he guides us through the dark underbelly of Australian crime in his trademark storytelling style.
The world is getting weird and we are getting weird with it. Let's watch as democracy crumbles into a smouldering heap - and take note of the kids carrying the matches and the metho.
Hosted by Jack the Insider and Joel Hill with an occasional rotation of guests that generally share our distaste toward the lunatic fringe.
So the episode title is courtesy of ChatGPT and proof that AI is not going to replace us - yet. What? Anyway here's more AI slop. I didn't see the episode 117 but I'm on holiday so I am doing it later.
No AI slop shownotes (as is now tradition) because I did this edit in two parts. But basically Jack sees off his mate Denis Ryan who listeners will know was a Ballarat detective who fought the church to stop child sex offending and was harshly punished for his good deeds. We also look at the idiots saying the Minnesota assassinations were 'left wing violence'. We discuss the relevance of cookers which brings us right to Monica's latest grift - the hollow and pointless private prosecution of Dan ...

Listeners this one is a bit hectic. The kids are getting up to all sorts of cooked stuff online and it involves a lot of real life traumatic behaviour which is deeply unpleasant and completely depraved. But it's important to discuss stuff like this as sunlight can have a positive impact on making these people less brazen and more afraid of the consequences of their horrible actions. Anyway, here's some AI slop shownotes - Listener discretion is advised! The Conditioned Release Program: Episode 1...
HECTIC AI SHOWNOTES CAUSE WE ARE LAZY, GOBBLESS. Enjoy! The Two Jacks - Episode 109: Election Update, Tariff Tremors & Online Policing Hosted by: Hong Kong Jack & Jack the Insider Welcome to Episode 109 of The Two Jacks! This week, Jack and Jackdive into the thick of the Australian federal election, dissect President Trump's latest tariff moves, debate the policing of online speech, and touch on French politics, climate action, and sports. Key Topics Discussed: Australian Federal Electio...
And we're off and running to a federal election on May 3. The Two Jacks review the polling and the campaign thus far with Albo and Labor firming in polls and the betting markets. JTI looks at a mistake-addled period from the Coalition and wonders if they have run out of road. We also got to find out what corflutes are! Meanwhile in the US, there is only Trump but how did this man get re-elected? Much of the blame falls on the Democrats as it is disclosed that senior Dems knew about the seriousne...
We look at the depths of incompetence with the Signal saga - and look at the reality of whether all this is 'secure' or not. RFK Jr. tells people to take vitamin A for measles. They do. It gives them liver damage. Marky Mark and the Zucky Bunch decide to steal content from a website that steals content. How meta. We have a new segment! Always The Ones You Most Expect. And yeah, it's what you think it is. Depressingly long. And by god Pete's been to the USA and had a cracking time. Did he meet Do...
The Two Jacks discuss the Secret Signal scandal. The federal election is on. Who wins and why? Canada is off to the polls, too. Has Trump given the Canadian Liberals a second chance? In sport, we eulogise George Foreman, and examine the AFL season to date.
The Two Jacks discuss the conduct of Donald Trump's presidency and ask what SMH Foreign Editor, Peter Hartcher declared to be true in a column earlier in the week, that Trump was a Russian asset. JTI concluded that he didn't know if Trump was a Russian asset but if he wasn't, he was doing a good impersonation of one. The things to watch in any peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia (with the possibility of European troops in Ukraine as peacekeepers or observers) are the provision of US logis...
The Two Jacks open with a discussion on Australian politics. Polling shows the Albanese government languishing and looking like losing between 15 and 20 seats. Meanwhile polling in the Teal held seat of Wentworth shows the Opposition under Peter Dutton will struggle to retain inner city seats lost in 2022. The prospect of minority government looms one way or another. In the US, Good Trump emerges in an Oval Office meeting with UK PM Sir Keir Starmer but Bad Trump is never far away. In sport, the...
I got copilot to write the shownotes and they are awful. And it took me way longer to get copilot to do that than actually write something here. Anyway, here's some proof that our jobs are safe cause these shownotes are awful! In summary - Jack has a spray on RFK Jr. about the measles outbreak which has absolutely got his fingerprints all over it. We have a cooker update with Oneegs jumping into bed with Jamie McIntyre who should not be directing companies for another year or so. SovCits has Jac...
The Two Jacks discuss the federal election with polling showing the Coalition may form minority government. The big news is in Ukraine where the Trump administration has signalled a peace which is little more than a surrender for Ukraine. In sport, the Champions League gets underway in Pakistan and Dubai.
The Two Jacks examine the conduct of the Opposition in the parliament when Attorney General Mark Dreyfus tried to tell the parliament his Shoah story - about his familial links with the Holocaust -- only to have the Opposition seek to gag him. The story was not well reported in the media but the Australian Jewish News ran hard with the story. In the US, Trump continues with his black texta reforms while HK Jack defends the role of USAID. Germany has its national elections just two weeks away as ...
Jack has been watching WAY too many YouTube videos and the brainrot is terminal. He focused his sights on the 'first amendment auditors' who film people in public to bait a response. Then he started watching videos of so called 'concerned dads' who have used opaque methods to entrap men into turning up to a location for a beating - all in the name of content. Nobody likes a paedo - but is due process actually dead? Trial by social media is a scourge on society and Jack won't have a bar of it. En...
So there's a gap in the episodes. Don't ask me, guys - I'm just producing the damn thing - Joel. We start off by taking a look at Peter Dutton's policies, light on detail and ask if the electorate will buy it? Meanwhile in the US, Musk's Dogs is causing chaos. Is it a matter of stopping government waste. That's the headline but the truth is a lot uglier. Where will it end? Only Musk seems to know. In sport, should there be a men's health round in round one to highlight the tragedy of suicide?...
He said a lot about day one and now it has happened. Around 200 'executive orders' were signed. Plenty of them were completely illegal, but let's just do whatever we want while the courts figure that out. Injunction? That's next week's problem - if you're lucky. In the meantime - here is some Ai slop shownotes cause I've had a real bastard of a week and I don't have it in me to write anything interesting. Episode is good though. oh and buy cbco beer from cbco.beer and use crp10 to get 10% off I ...
Shownotes are done by Ai and so is the edit. It's a little choppy at times, but it will do. Ed is a good friend of the podcast and an excellent guest. The audiobook can be found here: Facts and Other Lies by Ed Coper - Audiobook - Audible.com.au and the actual book in places that hopefully aren't amazon. In the meantime, buy CBCo beer. Discount code is CRP10. It's good. Trust me. Here's what the robots think of the show! Enjoy. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Na...
The Two Jacks look at the coming year and offer some predictions on the Australian federal election, what might happen with a second Trump presidency, where Europe is headed and is it possible the New Year will usher in a period of peace in the Middle East? In sport, the Test World Championship beckons. Will Australia defend its title and what of the powerhouse of world cricket, India?
In this episode we continue the process of unravelling RFK Jr.'s worm riddled brain. We continue to tear apart his absurd tweet which claims the FDA is waging war on things like 'exercise' and 'sunlight' and look further into the implications of his role in the Trump administration - if he actually gets confirmed. As usual, the CRP10 coupon code still works at cbco.beer and apologies for this one coming out late - a bit of covid and a lot of day drinking has prevented me from editing and publish...
I took so long to upload this - mostly because of covid but also self indulgence. Had a good chat with Dave about cookers. Just as a side note - I am going to get vaccinated around November from here onward. Covid goes mental during silly season. I prefer novavax because it has zero side effects for me (I am not a doctor this is not medical advice) but if we all jab up in October or so, we might not have to destroy christmas on a regular basis. My last jab was last year and covid last week SUCKE...
The Two Jacks final episode for the year with Christmas on the way, includes the Two Jacks' book selections just before Santa slides down the chimney.
Listeners! This week Jack is off trying to find himself in New Zealand. Something something Kia Ora. I tried to find someone to do this with but I put that in the too hard basket and recorded this one solo. So yeah, it's just me this week. So we - the royal we - look at Bovaer - the latest cooker outrage over a cattle feed supplement which lowers methane emissions. Don't eat it though. Especially if you are a rat. And we - again, actually just me - look at the recent interlocutory hearing to kic...
The Two Jacks discuss two appeals - one filed, one pending both dealing with a recent murder, the other an horrific crime from the 1980s. What chance will these convicted murderers have of having their cases examined again? Meanwhile inflation and the cost of living pressures in Australia are set to remain high on forecasts with the Reserve Bank unlikely to drop interest rates before the next election. How will the Trade War between China and the US affect Australia? Badly, the Two Jacks suggest...
