Ambitious Crossover Attempt

Noam and Jen discuss notable conservative podcasters / YouTubers getting busted taking Russian money, the silliness of the "I was deceived!" defense, who is getting a better ROI on their disruption spending, the Tucker / Darryl Cooper interview, the absolute silliness of the idea that the origins and motivations of the players in WWII are simply unknowable and open to interpretation, the collapse...

Jen and Noam discuss the joyful DNC, the rejection of the progressive keyboard warriors and their dumb demands, the contrast between Team Happy and whatever the hell is going on with Republicans, Barack Hussein Obama, RFK Jr. dropping out of the race (kinda) to support Trump, Disney+ canceling The Acolyte after one boring season, the limits of an expanded universe, and Noam makes Jen sad by bringi...

Noam and Jen enjoy the relative calm of the past week, where the most controversial take was Walz's taco recipe. They (well at least Jen) enjoyed that there was an actual discussion about economic policy despite it being price controls vs tariffs, Vance is still weird not for the stuff he did in high school and college, the upcoming DNC, a Taylor Lorenz Minute!, and Natasha Frost doxxing Jews for...

Jen and Noam are exhausted, and it's not even mid-August. We cover the Walz as VP drama, stolen valor, word coping mechanisms, The Vibes Election, when is anyone going to interview Kamala, Trump's wild helicopter rise with a black guy, is Trump mentally slipping, the debates that both will and will not happen, weird goings-on in Trumpland,a nd other random bits of ephemera. Ambitious Crossover Att...

Noam and Jen waited for Kamala, but she (or at least her VP nominee announcement) didn't come. No matter, there was still plenty to talk over; the assissinations of Hamas head Ismael Haniyeh and Hezbollah senior member Fuad Shukr, what it all means for what comes next in the Middle East, the massive prisoner exchange between the US / Germany and Russia, the massive messup Bloomberg News made in ju...

Jen and Noam do not have to throw a week's worth of notes in the fire! Hooray! The past week has still been quite eventful; Kamala (or Nancy, really) gets the thumbs up from all the major Democratic players, Joe says goodbye to the campaign trail, the Democratic veepstakes begins, J.D. Vance is confronted with his own statements, and the Normies start to realize that conservatives are weird.  At t...

Noam and Jen ONCE AGAIN have to preempt a whole week's worth of news to discuss breaking news, this time to discuss Biden's announcement that he is dropping out of the presidential race (but not resigning) and endorsing Kamala Harris to be the nominee. We give our initial thoughts on Biden's bow out, where this leaves the pundit class, how this changes the view of the RNC and Trump's speech, Biden...

Jen and Noam once again have to preempt a whole week's news due to the news of an attempted assassination of Trump. We discuss what we don't know (and may never know) about the motive for the shooting, The Picture, the weirdness of an assassination attempt being a crime of opportunity, what Trump may or may not have learned from his near-death experience, the perils of assigning iconography too so...

Noam and Jen start with the SCOTUS presidential immunity decision (the real news of the week) and Trump already testing the boundaries of the ruling before we move to basically ripping the press to shreds for being a bunch of unserious clout-chasing hacks (except for Alex Thompson) when it comes to the topic of Biden dropping out of the presidential race, our hatred of unnamed sources, Jen's overa...

Jen and Noam discuss The Debate, the Debate Discourse, is it cynical for the press to want to yeet Biden into the sun, does Biden yeet himself from the race, the other guy that was at the debate, where does Kamala fit into this conversation, the importance of a good VP pick, who is Trump gonna pick as his running mate, and will we be talking about any of this in a week. Ambitious Crossover Attempt...

Noam and Jen kick off the official beginning of Election Season by giving our pre-debate thoughts, Jen shares her doubts on if this debate will happen as planned, how Trump is basically the luckiest SOB ever, Jen makes a HotD joke that spirals into a discussion on monarchical succession, how "anti-Zionism" reached new lows, a brief history of Israel-related animal conspiracy theories, and a bit of...

Jen and Noam discuss SCOTUS deciding that the ATF doesn't have the authority to enforce the bump stock ban, Hunter Biden's potential future as a 2A champion (if his dad doesn't pardon him), 2020 amnesia, AOC and others realizing they are indeed surrounded by antisemites, the recently renewed COVID debate, and doing time on the hunger strike rotation. Ambitious Crossover Attempt has a Twitch channe...

Noam and Jen spend the whole episode discussing K-pop and anime. Just kidding. They spend the entire episode discussing the breaking news that four hostages taken from the Nova music festival were found and rescued by the IDF, including Noa Argamani. From the news itself to the operation that resulted in the freeing of the hostages, and of course, the reactions to the news both online and from mai...
