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, he...

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-elect...

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 wh...

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...

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...

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 in...

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...

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 -...

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?...

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...

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&...

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 apo...

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 n...

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. Esp...

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 elec...
