We dive into the widely heralded, earth-toned and Scorsese-helmed artifact of the mid-70s, The Last Waltz, with special guest Elicia McCoy. We discover extratexual tidbits, branch off into fractals of digression, share diverging and converging opinions alike, and generally have a hip and groovy time thinking about the Thankgiving Day 1976 vibes cre…

Before we talk about the overall phenomenon and legacy of Occupy Wall Street, we briefly acknowledge the final betweeted words of OJ Simpson: "Hospice? Whatchoo talkin bout hospice?" Referenced previous episodes: 124 - The Lost Boomer Death Squad Crossover Episode 070 - The CDC and Bill Gates: Normalizing Death 013 - WAR IS A RACKET! Commiserate on…

We go strictly off-the-cuff. Something not done since Episode 064 - Our 11th Hour Improvised Episode. Come for the hodgepodge, stay for the fun talk about getting arrested and locked up. Extreme sleep deprivation (for one of us). Fake news generator (perchance.org/newsheadline). Self-haircuts: yea or nay? The rhythm method. Struggling mightily to l…

We discuss the new documentary series The Program: Cons, Cults and Kidnapping and the inexhaustable ability to exploit and capitalize upon anything under the sun, including 'troubled teens,' 'at-risk youth,' etc. We talk about the micro to the macro regarding the Troubled Teen Industry (TTI) and Josh brings along some firsthand experience with work…

Daniel Hale is finally out of prison and has written an article that asks why he was locked up for the same crime Joe Biden has openly admitted to (although Joe's motives were far less noble than Daniel's). Jordan "Stop! Or My Dragon of Chaos Will Shoot!" Peterson continues to publicly lose his mind and keep the grift alive and well, redmeat-induce…

We're joined by Alex "WORLDWIDE" Kellar (@TheTowerSkin) of the Bored2Life podcast (@Bored2LifePod) to sift through the news rough in search of humor-diamonds and various truth-gems. Asking the difficult questions like, Where have all the good porn parodies gone? And why's cash being left on the table with the absence of an I ♡ Huckabees meets the T…

What's often lurking beneath the surface of libertarianism via Penn Jillette. Will a socialistic revolution create a lowered age of consent? & the demarcation between toon and non-toon pornography & celebrity endorsement deals with the Israeli government via Vaush and Tiffany Haddish. Highly digressive "Red Scare Scrounge Up". Navalny's false marty…

After we address some news items of the day, we assemble at the General Council of Anthropomorphized Astrological Signs, along with good-bad cinema coorespondent Adrian DeLaTorre (Never Seen It / @b00tz2big), and discuss the brand new Jennifer Lopez vanity project / perfume ad / EPK for her new album / movie (?) This is Me...Now. Described to us in…

Just as we did in the infancy of this podcast in the fall of 2020 (008 - I'm Thinking of Ending Things) we cover the latest Charlie Kaufman (screenwriting) project: an animated children's movie about how we're all hurtling towards death (sorta), Orion and the Dark.

We're talkin' Biden keeping totally cool and calm and 1000% lucid during a press conference in which his cognitive faculties are mildly questioned. When they go low, he goes high. Real high. On secret amphetamines brewed in John Podesta's cauldron in the depths of the Pentagon. Tim updates us in his Red Scare Scrounge Up (patent pending) segment. W…

A seriously digressive episode. Forty minute 'cold open' which hit the cutting room floor, which I then slipped on, banana peel style, only to bash my head into the editing bay console. When I came to, this episode was uploaded somehow. I may someday release the UNRATED UNCUT version. We talk a bit about the brilliance of James Adomian. Podcasting …

Mythic co-founder/cosmic wendigo/mid-wifery doula figure of the podcast, Jason Newland, returns as Tim's tending to highly classified, kinetic-style subterfuge-type affairs. The White House pharmacy is handing out all manner of psychotropics like so many sugary delights on All Hallows' Eve. The more or less death of Pitchfork Media, which once gave…

Jay Leno and Pat Morita starred in a moving picture called Collision Course and we somehow decided to watch it and talk through our many complex feelings about it. We're joined by Adrian DeLaTorre from the Never Seen It podcast and take a look at this barely-existant artifact of late 1980s Hollywood, racism, and economic-based, lizard-brained fear.…

Part meta-/accidental-Year-in-Review, part anhedonic spiraling, part analysis of predictions made 100 years ago about the Year of Our Lord 2024, part the world's sloppy lattice-worked and splatter-painted miscellania and detritus, part Pancake Party.

In no particular order: classic Floridian manatee molestation; continued highlighting of author, lawyer, voice of a generation, and former IDF member Barack Obama Mandela, Esq; Gaza should aspire to become like post-War Auschwitz; rabbinical scholars teaching the IDF about permissible rape, righteous ethnic cleansing, and about how Hitler was just …

Trump's new humble, playfully self-effacing persona sells us pieces of his mugshot suit. Biden remains senile as ever, 65 years on the kibbutz, all compressed down to a 2.5 month timespan, will do that to a feller. TERRORISM-FENTANYL SCREAMS ACROSS OUR SKIES. Slick Willy Clints uses language-violence to make fun of Hilldawg. Satanists will troll to…

Does Time Magazine's "Person of the Year" matter even just a little bit? Are Taylor Swift and George Santos truly folk heroes? Joe Biden gets debriefed on the dangers of AI by watching a blockbuster action movie while deeply sundowning, is mystified by his own deepfake memes, and was gripped by near-total confusion while people chanted the word "Ge…

Alright, we did it, you got us. Just like every other podcast in the world we decided to celebrate our 187th mainline episode with a viewing of the classic 1997 film, One Eight Seven. We're joined by Adrian DeLaTorre from the Never Seen It podcast to discuss and do a little postmortum examination in a longer-than-the-run-time-of-the-movie episode. …

In the most pressing news of the day, Snoop Dogg (formerly known as Snoop Lion) reveals what giving up smoke means to him, and totally isn't just reading copy, gets candid as hell. "Ceasefire," hostage swapping, proportionality, Dr. Eli's Hasbara Outlet Black Friday Sale (don't forget your DSA Cyber Monday sale either!). J Robinette B sundowns hard…

We spent a lot of time reflecting and discussing with our families how to never forget 99% Hitler Voter Guy. Salon dot com seems to be writing satirical articles now...or are they? Nikki Haley wants us all to use our real names online, exempting herself, Nimarata Randhawa, from this data collection. She also thinks we ought to work until we give up…

The inaugural episode of what will likely turn into a regular type of series of shorter, scripted-ish bonus episodes. Some background, per our Discord: "Karine Jean-Pierre said some typically awful bullshit recently. So that got us talking about Psaki by comparison. Then I found a Psaki simp in her comments on twitter. I began imagining the hell th…

Various GOP bullshit. The Monarchy is too funny to exist. Zelensky doing the geopolitical equivalent of panhandling now. It's about time Homer Simpson stops physically terrorizing his son, says supposed "person" at the Guardian. P.S. Stay tuned for a short bonus episode later this week about a DNC/#resistance simp's struggle to wokely honor and sim…

Things get a little freeform and loopy. The abandonment of Zelensky. Tony Blinken dressing his son up as Zelesky and daughter as a Ukrainian flag for Halloween. More ghastly atrocities pile up overwhelmingly in 21st century Judaea. Try and pull out of the deathspiral of the topic into lighter climes: We put Biden's two Press Secretaries on the bina…

Tennessee makes being unhoused a felony. In California, mobile homelessness is on the rise, but don't worry, there are some safe parking lots to sleep in. Another Californian development: The Ebony Alert system is finally here! Space Force continues to be uncanny and just off-beat enough subsection of the US Armed Forces. Mike Pence shocks dozens o…

An olde tyme friend visits us. We have a chatabout. We each section one another for crimes against comedy/humanity. We vent spleens about Israel etc. We digress, digressively. Who will be possibly the next Pointless/Demagogical Mayoral-King-Duke of the USofA? We talk some news of the weird. Australia gets America's wang transplanted upon it. A duo …

We are joined by our guest Kurt Hull (aka Otis P. Stinktrigger) and talk around all the latest from the front lines of the serious geopolitical echo-chamber of the faux news wars, you know, where the real battles take place. More updates on planes behaving badly. Circuitous routes and side-quests abound. Check out Kurt's podcast here: The Stinkshee…

Kevin McCallister's been demoted to scamming the nation and fistfucking the globe from a less visible post. Political theater prevails as the dominant mindvirus. Commander Biden's list of crimes expands further. A Danish artist hilariously cons the High Art/Tax Evasion/Money Laundering World. Chicago TV news crew robbed in a very meta-fied way. The…

South Koreans have a bizarre way of keeping track of people's ages, and it's going out of style. Sean Penn is a vile idiot who should've saved us all on 9/11. Some run of the mill tech-bro got a wild hair up his ass and is emotionlessly, delusionally, grandiosly and obsessively chasing after immortality via some hybrid of internalized Mormonism and…

We briefly revisit the Metaverse and its grand announcement that they've finally added (sort of) the god-kissed locomotive powers of legs to the little Metaverse representation pixel-creatures. We digress about the man-o-sphere for a bit. Airplanes and their great lack of crashing into one another: humdrum miracle or vile affront to the Almighty? S…

There's been a shift in the 'cast's, um, cast. Past guest Timothy Robert Buechner joins as an official cohost. We talk through and detour from topics such as microplastics in our brains; the nature of well-crafted clickbait via murder-by-dessert and mailing cadaver bits 'n' pieces through a FB/Meta group; other podcasts; a Nebraskan governor whose …

We take a brisk tour through various current AI implications. A "free" 55-inch flat screen TV that merely wants to turn your living room into a advert-hellscape. A possibly inebriated driver switches seats with his dog, the officer in question may never notice the oddness of this. In Portugal, canine lifespan records, shattered. Some annoying perso…

We eulogize the Metaverse, read the lips of King Charles, hear Mr. Musk out (not really) on why working remotely is evil, discuss Patient M: The Man Who Was Shot in The Head And Woke Up Seeing The World Backwards, chat about a youtuber who deliberately crashes a plane to get the hearts going in the chat, ask ourselves if Holocaust textbooks are too…

Another overstuffed episode (with leftovers for next time). French labor unions cut off electricity and gas to targeted homes of politicians and billionaires. A string of articles showing more hubris and self-cannibalization in the nervous system of USofA. "Nothing will fundamentally change, jack, unless it's for the worse!" AMLO dramatically incre…

Back after our longest and unintended hiatus.

We talk AI, ramshackle border wall construction, the world's largest doomsday bunker community, the "country"/cult within Germany that doesn't recognize the modern State, Floridian PPP grifter Daddy 'n' Sons op, self-defeating marriage equality legislation, precocious youth run amok, downtrodden youth in handcuffs, British colonialism's staggering …

Competitive grave digging in "vampiric" Eastern Europe. The world's tallest jail—who dare says the US can't still aspire to greatness? In China, fifty year old "Uncle Chen" can beat the average marathon time—while chain-smoking the whole way. The constellation of handlers, pharmacists, and groper-conversion-therapists that comprise "Joe Biden" aske…

Timothy Robert Buechner returns as dual guest & substitute cohost for Jason. We talk about the fledging effort to make neoliberalism cool (again?); the nature of all 'centrisms'; Volcels are Basically Cows; how the most labor friendly president in US history has recently shown his friendliness to railway union members; how the NYTimes has suddenly,…

Fuck the midterms. Slavery now illegal in 3 of 4 states. Man steals own car. Shooting the homeless now a misdemeanor. Hero unleashes bees at eviction cops.

Is a broken Rand Paul right twice a day? People focusing on all of the wrong things with regard to Trump's legacy (e.g. forget debunked Russiagate myths and January 6th, and look toward WWIII inciting foreign policy first).
