Heat Death of the Universe

Before two extended looks at 1) the nameless unrest in Los Angeles of late & then 2) the saga of the Freedom Flotilla, we broach the breaking news of Israel dEfeNsiVeLy first-strikkking Iran, and then keep it a little lighter with a casual cold open chat about other Content-style media, The Beach Boys' stranger/deeper catalogue, USofA Presidents literally and figuratively failing upward,...

We play a little bit of catch up with an ol' flurry of news items style episode. Drink a pop cultural lust-object's actual bathwater, now in bar soap form. Sensually pop egg yolks on TikTok. Feel the delirous effects of fake time travel to early 2000s culture war issues. Porn, cannabis, chemtrails, oh my! Trump. Biden. Musk. Epstein. Kash Me Outside Patel. Vibe shifts detected in the Dai...

We briefly attempt to subdue and clown upon the so-called "news" before casting its mind-numbing insanity aside and delving into the subjects of doomsday prepping and eschatology via Bradley Garrett's excellent and beautifully-timed/-written culturo-geographic book on the phenomenon of rejecting the allure of the distant stars for the womblike safety of the soil, Bunker: Building fo...

We look at a truncated overview of humanity's various oppositions to technological development, from Diogenes to The Dark Mountain Project, after laughing wildly at various insanities from the most recent news-cycle involving John "Shrekton LaVey" Fetterman and some unknown so-called president of the United States of America. Recorded on Saturday, May 10th, 2025 around 10.30 AM Kore...

Before we get into the subject of automated labor (various conceptions of, various modern applications of, etc) we do some old school retreading of The News™: 100 Days of Too Much Fun, Mohsen Mahdawi Puts a Significant Win in Our Plus Column, Actual Living Demon Itamar Ben-Gvir Goes to Washington, and more. Plus, Tim unboxes a breathalyzer and you won't believe the results! Recorded on Saturd...

Vivian Wilson—who is shockingly cool and not deranged— recently mentioned that her father, one Eloo Ma, aspires to be like the virtual reality CEO guy in the 2011 book/2018 movie, Ready Player One, which he liked (?) so much that he'd force his children to read it when they misbehaved. So we looked closer at this piece of terminal nostalgia detritus and discussed how it may be representative...

I thought that this had vanished forever due to a mental health crisis, but it has just now been found. Here's the unedited and purely Zoom-recorded track. We talk about a bunch of stuff relevant to the news cycle of March 8th, 2025. Get vulnerable with us. Recorded on Saturday, March 8th, 2025 around 11.30 AM Korea Standard Time Commiserate on Discord: discord.gg/aDf4Yv9PrY Support: patreon...

We behold the miracle of flight and its attendant spawn like airplane crashes, lists of twee explainer facts, corporate fascism, the liminal space of the airport, unrepentant missile strikes on passenger aircraft, and so forth. Before that, we do a little preamble and cover two topical stories in the up-to-the-minute news cycle: Liberation Day + Cory Booker's filibuster. Recorded on Saturday,...

We look into the repellent and deeply unfunny world of so-called comedy made on the internet by various genocidal lunatics with a pronounced fixation on a certain holy-style of land. Production note: This episode went through some technical issues and an accidental hiatus as Josh adjusted to new employment (as detailed in the cold open). Recorded on Saturday, March 15th, 2025 around 11.30 AM Korea...

We return after an unplanned month long hiatus (two yet-to-be-released episodes were recorded in that time and will be released eventually, sometime before this happens) and behold the humble everyday object of the egg and see what emerges from this locus of lifeforce, this cosmic ovum. This branches out into talking about the state of MAHA nation, cooking oil wars, soda wars, the Law & Order...

Our geriatric politicians continue to physically unspool before our eyes, continued. /§/ News emerges that Bolsanaro tried to poison Lula, denies it, then begs for amnesty in a single news cycle. /§/ Both "Uber for guns" and the Mangione trial begin. /§/ A truly grim Zionist comedy of errors in Miami. /§/ White House Faith Office head honcho transcends human language. /§/ Sloppy Steve Ba...

Amuse bouche: Crass Popculture Corner (CPC) with Ye, an Italian-American troglodyte, Rid Kock, juggalos, Boebert. /§/ Russia-Ukraine-related USA's hard turn into throwing the proxy to the Azov wolves, Trump openly declares a protection racket project RE "rare earths," and Putin puppetry of the penis confessionals after dark. /§/ Trump claims he'll cut the Defense budget in half...

First and foremost, Biden's gonna be a real star in his post-presidency—I'm ready for my close-up, jack! More heightened and bombastic forms of business as usual continue on in the form of hacking and looting the treasury, beaucratic sleight of hand, casting poxes upon Gaza while publicly fellating at-large war criminals, the Democratic party doing hilariously ineffectual "resistenc...

Jeers and then cheers at, and then for, Electronic Intifada founder and editor, Ali Abunimah, being abducted and imprisoned, and then being released by the local Zurich gestapo at the direction of a deranged Swiss Zionist and government official. Condoms out for Hamas. Do you condom Hamas or not?? Trump's immaculate real estate brain generates ideas for the Gazan coastline, dismisses his very...

Overwhelming swarm of Trump 2.0 odd 'n' sods—inaugeration, absurd beyond all reckoning SiegHeilGate reactions, meme coin and AI scams, executive orders, Jan 6 and Silk Road pardons, foresaking John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, swearing in little blood-sluts like Rubio, Hegseth et al., turning Manifest Destiny ambitions towards Latin American perennial targets like Cuba and Venezuela, immediat...

We reminisce about David Lynch, recently shuffled off this mortal coil. We get into all of the ceasefire drama from the past week and grapple with some of the darker implications and vent spleens at the demons behind it all.  Anthony Blinken is righteously shouted at in various public forums. May he never have a single millisecond's peace for the rest of his days. Joe Biden's farewell ad...

Dual wellness checks on Josh's influenza and Tim's state of being in the fiery epicenter of Los Angeles.  Joseph Rword Biden's wild ass narcissism knows zero bounds. DEI is the most prolific arsonist of all time, while Mother Nature just wants a very specific and pampered form of liberty. Cast a pox of schadenfreude upon Woods, Gibson, Corolla, et al. Long live the new skin grafts!...

Contemporary king-maker and 13 year old homunculus in a 53 year old colorless vessel, emotionally hollowed out, pathologoical disassociative compounds ingester, Kekius Maximus, boosts CumRocket meme coin's valuation by 400%. Make NYE/NYD an Annual Psy-Op Celebration Again Intrepid truth seeker and a mind made of fecal matter and ziobuck$$$, Josh Hammer, explains how kids protesting against ge...

Closing out the calendar year with a part retrospective, part digressive and part scattershot approach to carving our little slice of vandelism into the broader granite of the latter December 2024 of it all.  GOP's "civil war,"  the most important change dot org petition of our lifetime,  anarchocapitalist ghost-dog-/sister-whisperer Javier Milei continues to ruin lives (Argentine a...

The Co-Pay Killer, The Invisible Hand, The Claims Adjuster...Luigi. We dig into the past week of wild developments in the saga of the United Healthcare CEO and the Permanent Denial of Coverage: folk hero status, unhinged and sneering op-eds, oceans of contradictions, ideological mask-dropping, copycats, Elon Musk using human shields, and more! Syria's collapse and rebirth as something almost...

Quick hits on the Destiny/Nick Fuentes sex tape & how we should never firget Pine Eleven .  South Korea (and therefore Josh of the pod) was under martial law recently. Hunter Biden has been pardoned of all crimes committed known or unknown for the past 11 years. Hmm, what started happening in 2014?? The Co-Pay Killer unites our divided nation (kinda) and hopefully helps create an atmosphere of...

In true Thanksgiving miracle fashion, Virgil "Alexis" Texas emerges from the banishment of the podcast wilds to weigh in on the annoyingly persistent article-fodder question of 'Can liberals podcast as hard as conservatives?'  The Kamala Harris campaign looks more and more like just another $1.5 billion dollar scam.  Crooked Media is advertising on the Megyn Kelly Show (while t...

After missing a week, we catch up on the Trump cabinet picks and the most recent developments therein.  How much of 2016 will be painfully and absurdly repeated or not? Will the brave Alec Baldwin say "YOU'RE WELCOME" to the nation once more?  Biden stumbles—like up so many stairs to Air Force One—ever closer towards igniting a nuclear exchange with Russia before leaving his persona...

We review Francis Ford Coppola's polarizing, self-funded, $120 million dollar, sci-fi epic, Megalopolis . A film forty plus years in the making, which possibily predicted 9/11, is jammed full of oft-disjointed dialogue, Shakespearean theatrics, experimental cinematography and effects, allegedly THC-fueled throughout, undergirded by undergraduate philosophical fixations, bepopulate with very t...
