It’s been 15 years since Bitcoin was created. After around a decade and a half, there’s still not anything really useful to do with it outside of paying for illegal arms and mail order drugs. Even though it’s basically useless, Bitcoin and crypto in general has a made a few people extremely rich. Worldwide, the crypto sector is valued at around $2.5 trillion. History shows that as soon as the extr...

Dems in disarray! Advisors and Biden supporters are freaking out after his terrible performance in last week's debate with Trump. Calls for Biden to step down from Democrat insiders who three weeks ago were saying all the clips of him confused and flubbing were all cheap MAGA fakes.

Hawk Tuah girl brings back blow jobs, Chiquita Banana hired a death squad in Colombia and Israel is targeting state governments with their anti-Semitism PR. We talked a few weeks ago about Israel’s incredibly sophisticated lobbying machine in Washington. Just a couple of days ago, an LA synagogue hosted a sale for stolen Palestinian land. The protesters outside the event were condemned as antisemi...

The two least popular candidates in history are days away from their first on stage showdown, and one of them is terrified of sharks.

Section 230 is not a special privilege for big tech, it enables third party participation in communication that even big tech, with its deep pockets, wouldn't risk liability to host, let alone smaller platforms, which couldn't afford one lawsuit. Section 230 also doesn't encourage platforms to have no community guidelines, with a wild west of social media, but the opposite. It helped correct the l...

The question I had going into this episode was about the asymmetrical reactions between the pro-Palestinian protesters and the pro-Israel and Zionist protesters. (Those seem to be subtly distinct groups so I’m trying to think of them as separate but related.)

We're teaming up with Bradley Plaisier and Robert Skvarla to talk about the show that 30 years ago introduced the normies to alien abductions, secret government programs, and global conspiracies. Somehow, the X-Files was exactly the right show for its time. It harnessed the untapped cynicism and suspicion of the 1990s and assured us that there really might be answers out there if you know where to...

Someone is radicalizing our kids. Who is behind this? What are their motives? There appears to be an unidentified individual or an entire group of them who are actively working to radicalize our precious, vulnerable students. This is a serious issue that requires immediate investigation and action to protect our youth and ensure their safety. Or it could be that they just managed to get an educati...

Maybe a crack in the up until now unquestioned US support of Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza. All it took was the deaths of 7 people connected to a celebrity chef. Israel murdering 30,000 civilians didn't do it. Israel has somehow managed to be the top recipient of US foreign aid for the last few decades. It was only bumped from the number one spot a few times while the US was pouring money in...

Up until now, for different reasons, we've avoided talking about both Israel and AI. We haven't talked about the ongoing Palestinian genocide because there are much better voices to listen to than us to help you understand the extent of the horror in Gaza. We haven't talked about the AI bubble because arguing with marketers and hypemen is boring. The feverish pace that Democrats in the House and S...

We learn how Florida Rep Byron Donalds feels about wind turbines and that Hillary Clinton hates your fami...

For our special Wetwired Valentine's Day episode, we’re talking about that special feeling you get in the deep, dark recesses of your sinful heart. In a holiday orchestrated by Big Chocolate, there are plenty of other opportunists looking to cash in on your loneliness or your crumbling relationship. An old southern pastor has ideas about how you should love, dating apps are filling holes, and the...

Christ’s cryptocurrency is on trial in Colorado. Eli and Kaitlyn Regalado have been accused of creating a worthless crypto coin and exchange, with Jesus-themed branding, that took about 3.4 million dollars from “investors” and left them holding the bag. With a hearing scheduled in Colorado for Feb 5, instead of showing up, Regalado decided to hit the Christian revival circuit in Zambia. Oh, yeah....

DeSantis’ CRT and DEI presidential campaign might be over, but there are still plenty of people willing to throw down dollars to fight against DEI and woke capitalism. We’re talking about the brave elites who’re willing to put their money down for a good cause. And in the truest American way any of us know, that cause is based land speculation.

Today we’re asking the question, "what if a zany mismatched group of three liberal Gen-Xers, one Millennial and two Zoomers were thrown into a house reno’d by Chip and Joanna Gaines just as the world was ending?" We’re going to peek into the blue pilled minds who can’t help but wonder if maybe all those MAGA, QAnon conspiracists might be on to something. That’s correct, we’re talking about the imm...
