EPISODE #96: Welcome back to the pod! Time to party like it’s 2020 with some “fiery, but mostly peaceful protests”. We get into the riots in Los Angeles and all the insanity on the internet. The Waymos have become a victim in this destructive society. Should we arm the Waymos? Did they die for our sins? People like Katy Perry are now rewriting the history of California and America, and the protest extend to multiple cities. Finally, Greta makes it to Israel on her selfie yacht.

Featuring Mike Solana, Riley Nork, Blake Dodge, Liv Boree, George Hotz

EPISODE #90: Welcome back to the pod! Elon took hits from all angles this week. Tesla cars & chargers are being attacked, the stock is down, X went down on Monday, and the people are protesting. The good news? Trump will take one of those Teslas! Our president seemed very impressed with the car, proclaiming “Wow… everything’s computer”. A battle of citizenship is underway as Federal immigration authorities detained Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian graduate student who played a prominent role in anti-Israel protests at Columbia University. Are we abusing free speech rights? In the latest tech news, Sam Altman & ChatGPT release a new model that is going after creative writing.. but is it actually any good? Finally.. the pod bros competition. On one side, Gavin Newsom interviewed Steve Bannon (what?) and on the other side, Michelle Obama's new podcast can barely crack 20k subscribers on YT. The media landscape has changed and it looks like Gavin understands the game better than anyone on the left.

EPISODE #89: This week, we brought our bingo paddles to watch Trump’s address to Congress. Within minutes, everything was out of control. The ladies were dressed in pink, they waved signs, and Al Green was removed. We get into the the decline of decorum, how the Democrat party is completely lost right now, and how culture has completely shifted to the right. Their potential savior may be none other than Gavin Newsom and his new podcast! Compared to left influencers like Hasan Piker who call for the k*lling of senators, maybe Newsom is not all that bad for Democrats? Also, we have a guest this week! Aella joins the show to talk everything s*x, appearing on the “Whatever Podcast”, and where she see’s s*x culture in America.
