  • Postgame Self-Congratulations
    Nov 6 2024

    More than just patting ourselves on the back for the accurate election prediction, we address how we were able to make this prediction over a year and a half ago, what the actual purpose of voting is, the importance of understanding counter-narrative control, Biden as an intentional fall guy, Harris as an intentional loser, and why the Trump win needed to be now and not in 2020.

  • Election Pregame Show
    Nov 5 2024

    Peanut the squirrel, election day predictions and analysis, Harambe (again), the importance of memes, comments on the Trump and Vance appearances on Rogan, our new logo Fritz Durden, and most importantly we introduce our theory of the ideologically split elites - we've got it all in this uncharacteristically off-the-cuff casual chat about what most people seem to think is the first day of the end of the world.

    This episode also officially kicks off season two... whatever difference that makes.

    Leave some comments! We want to hear your predictions as well.

  • Can We Save Harambe?
    Oct 29 2024

    We didn't want to make Joel a liar, so we finally hit on feminism as he promised half a season ago - using it as a construct to explore a larger and far more important conversation about the lack of willingness to explore origins of modern social, political, and philosophical issues. As a bonus we work in some Harambe (may he RIP) and CERN hell portal talk. If you go back in time, could you actually selectively prevent Harambe's needless death?

  • Never Be White
    Oct 19 2024
    Following directly from our somewhat abruptly ended "vibes only" conversation in the prior episode, we explore how this construct manifests out in the world and leads to logic defying behaviors across widely varied groups of people. Why do threepers open carry at a suburban Starbucks, but don't care about their astronomical BMI? Why do college hipster girls feel safe jogging half naked through migrant camps, but feel threatened by smiles from random men? This episode has some answers.

  • Vibes Only
    Oct 18 2024

    "The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental."

    - John Steinbeck, The Acts of King Arthur


    The truth does not set you free, and it sets you free even less if your idea of "free" is the "kid on Saturday morning" feeling we've talked about in the past. So what beats complicated, difficult, nuanced truth for most people? Feelings.

    In this episode we talk wine moms, Kamala's intentionally shrinking base, everything as a conspiracy, and hit on the oft repeated idea of narrative/counter-narrative from the angle of "vibes only" capture.

  • The Fall of the Baby Oil Mafia
    Oct 8 2024

    Picking up right where we left off in the prior episode, we're ready to talk Sean "baby oil" Combs and how blackmail operators function as high level gate keepers to power and influence. As always, we tie these events back to prior discussions and use them to continue to build out our world-view. We also ask the questions that go beyond the contrived, normie positions on these topics: Why is all this being intentionally, publicly exposed now? Why aren't these operations needed anymore? We have some answers.


    Episode notes


    The Nietzsche quote I couldn't find on-air:

    "Believers and their need to believe.- How much one needs a faith in order to flourish, how much that is 'firm' and that one does not wish to be shaken because one clings to it, that is a measure of the degree of one's strength (or to put the point more clearly, of one's weakness). Christianity it seems to me, is still needed by most people in old Europe even today; therefore it still finds believers. For this is how man is: An article of faith could be refuted before him a thousand times - if he needed it, he would consider it true, again and again, in accordance with that famous 'proof of strength' of which the Bible speaks."

  • IQ stats & BBQ'd cats
    Oct 2 2024

    "'Equality to the equal, inequality to the unequal' — that would be the true slogan of justice; and its corollary: 'Never make equal what is unequal!'” ― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols In this long overdue episode which we started recording two weeks prior, we hit on some no-longer current events like the second assassination attempt and the Trump/Harris debate, ultimately tying Haitians possibly eating cats to the heart of this episode's discussion: why is recognition of equality as a lie the new sin against the Holy Spirit and why is selecting for intelligence in nearly any area of life and society completely taboo? Apologizes in advance for Joel's wacked out audio sound that for some reason varied greatly between the first and seconding recording sessions of this episode.

  • Victoria, Victor, & Julie Andrews
    Sep 4 2024
    Our failure to get it together and put out an episode over the past couple weeks has led to a build up of no longer current "current" events that we felt the need to address, including Eric Weinstein's recent appearance on Modern Wisdom. This week we put a bookmark in our as yet unfinished talk on finding fulfillment in struggle, and have a brief interlude to discuss the RFK endorsement of Trump, Zuckerberg's peace offering, and how these things relate to the socio-political flip we've been hitting on for half this season. We explore these ideas in the context of Weinstein's excellent analogy based on the Julie Andrews movie Victor/Victoria. We also switch out the witty banter intro for grandpa Joel career advice. Weinstein's appearance on Modern Wisdom isn't necessarily prerequisite listening, as we give overviews of his ideas before discussing them, but you'll probably get more out of this episode if you listen to that podcast in full first.
