Travis has returned from the mountains and claims he’s touched so much grass that he’s considering never going outside again. This is a good thing, because there’s lots of horrible news to catch up on – including corrupt county clerk Tina Peters’ voter fraud trial reaching its ultimate conclusion (it brings us no joy), and the richest person in the world going all in on Trump and Dark Maga. Subscr...

Liv, Julian, and Jakey Greco are determined to transform a once respected podcast into a gossip tabloid while Travis is on vacation. Liv brings us a handful of truly demented tales of infidelity from the right-wing sphere, including RFK Jr. and his pack of rambunctious dogs seducing a reporter sent to profile him, and NC LT. Governor Mark Robinson’s filthy, filthy posts on an adult forum about hav...

On September 9th, United States prosecutors announced the indictment and arrest of two leaders of the so-called “Terrogram Collective.” This is an online community of accelerationist neo-nazis which the DOJ called “a transnational terrorist group.” The indictment charges Dallas Humber, 34, of Elk Grove, California, and Matthew Allison, 37, of Boise, Idaho with 15 crimes. They include soliciting ha...

A false smear about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio killing pets made its way from a fourth-hand Facebook rumor to Donald Trump’s lips during his televised debate with Kamala Harris. Despite the fact that there is no evidence for this claim and local authorities have explicitly denied that it’s true, Republicans have enthusiastically promoted the libel in order to demonize Haitians who are l...

Robbie Williams played by a CG Chimp, Russian spy beluga death, an incestuous poisoning through rave drugs, and the Harris campaign making “brain sludge content”.

This is the story of an April Fool’s Day joke that got wildly out of control. In 1991, a columnist for InfoWorld claimed that he learned of a hyper-advanced computer virus called “AF/91” that disabled Iraqi air defense systems during the first Gulf War. This virus had allegedly escaped Iraq and threatened every computer that used a windows-based graphical interface. The last line of the column rev...

Pentecostal “demon slayers” made a movie about the exorcisms they’ve been doing. More specifically, Greg Locke made a movie about how he graduated from QAnon promoter and COVID conspiracy theorist to self-aggrandizing general in the battle between God and Satan. We watched 2023’s ‘Come Out In Jesus Name’ and broke it down for our listeners. Subscribe for $5 a month to get all the premium episodes:...

Demonic exorcism isn’t just a solid premise for horror films. It’s also the hook for an increasingly popular group of pentecostal pastors who leverage social media, spiritual warfare, and outrage to spread their message. Tennessee pastor Greg Locke is the most prominent member of a supergroup of evangelical ghostbusters who call themselves the “Demon Slayers.” Together, they cross promote videos o...

What would happen if the entire police force of a small town was pilled to the gills? What if they weren’t satisfied with protecting and serving their community and instead vowed to kickstart the storm themselves – first in their town of six thousand residents and then on an international scale? Liv brings us cursed research from the town of Millersville, Tennessee, where assistant police chief Sh...

A religious art historian is inseminated with a clone of Jesus Christ by a cabal of Satanists who plan on letting Lucifer possess the baby and return to earth, bringing hell with him.

Donald Trump is advancing novel ways of denying reality. He claimed that an authentic photograph of the crowd at a Harris rally was somehow generated by artificial intelligence. This bizarre claim was a bridge too far for even some ardent Trump supporters. The former president also attempted to boost his languishing campaign by publicly chatting with Elon Musk via “X Spaces” on the microblogging p...

We discuss the origin of this false internet rumor and what it can tell us about the nature of truth on social media. Plus we go over newly revealed details about Trump’s failed assassin and some of the con...

The harm of QAnon goes beyond the extremist violence it has inspired. It’s also socially corrosive in ways that are normally invisible. Relationships between siblings, spouses, friends, and parents and children are frequently strained when someone falls too deep down the rabbit hole. The nature of and consequences of this harm is powerfully illustrated in the new book The Quiet Damage: QAnon And T...

Biden out, Harris in. Conspiracy theories metastasize as the democratic candidate (and current President) calls it quits and coronates his Vice President. The right spreads conspiracy theories about Joe Biden being dead and replaced by a body double or some form of AI. BlueAnon chimes in with some new theories now that "their guy" is out. And we explore what's next for election season with analyst...

This week we’re heading to a Brazilian hospital — more specifically, the bedside of former President Jair Bolsonaro — to bring you an exploration of the disgraced, grotesque and criminal Bolsonaro family. We’ll be learning how the melted Brazilian right wing emerged from a post-80s yearning for military dictatorship. How the police, criminal right-wing militias and politicians formed an unholy all...

Have you ever wondered what it’d be like to erase negative thoughts, win every argument, and close every sale? Travis and Brad take you through the sordid tale of a self-help movement that’s equal parts psychotherapy, entrepreneurial success tool, and mind-control technique. A movement that inspired the likes of Tony Robbins, NXIVM, the Landmark corporate cult, and even pick-up artistry. A modalit...

We explore how disaffected young men anonymously posting memes online led to real-life violence including multiple mass murders, the forming of what came to be known as the alt-right movement, a seismic shift in the Republican party, and the January 6th, 2021 storming of the capitol. Joining us for this very special episode is Elle Reeve, correspondent for CNN and author of the new book Black Pill...
