Why middle-aged men are cunning linguists, Florida legislators pass a good bill despite their best efforts, we cover the 37 insane things the Administration said this week and wonder why we still bother, and it’s so bad we actually call Rubio the “smart one,” then we get totally frustrated and play online music trivia.

Alex’s fare locates Elvis, Adrian picks the new Pope after JD Vance offs the old one (maybe), Peter Thiel gets the government credit card, AI takes over UAE legislature and US schools, Legal Barbie outlaws judges, warrants and reporters, Epstein’s whistleblower didn’t kill herself (also maybe), and why nothing this administration does actually matters.

US citizens threatened with deportation as Congress cowers and SCOTUS is ignored, Blond Barbie’s “proof” exonerates deportee, Pentagon in chaos as four high-ranking officials fired for leaking Hegseth’s transgressions to the media, DOGE helps Russians hack NLRB, Alex says interrupting is rude, but firebombing is OK, Adrian once again questions his sanity, and are 50501 soon to be 5150’ed?

Alex and Adrian put politics on the back burner to do a musical competition, declassified DoD COVID documents prove we were right again, the tech bros are gonna need some pissed-off Boomers, Trump threatens DEI law firms into pro bono work for him, insider trading is the new black, and nothing says “Freedom” like a military parade for a leader’s birthday.

Israel wants America to bomb Iran and Trump dutifully follows orders, this show is living and (mostly) dying in 7/4 time, Trump uses math or something to impose tariffs on penguins but not Russians, markets respond like it’s 1929, Congress responds like it’s 1933, MAGA responds like Fox News tells them to, and we still need a 2nd mortgage to buy a dozen eggs.

Adrian and Alex debate whether their son Mikey should join the Marine Corps, the most powerful people in the world use free apps on their hacked smartphones to bomb brown people, Congress debates whether to abolish one of the three branches of government, your DNA will go to the highest bidder, Big Pharma blames weed for COVID vaccine side effects, and America embraces concentration camps.

Alex makes the mistake of bringing up AI and Adrian makes him regret it, now Trump wants England to annex the US, Elon might be a Chinese asset, work is underway to ensure the Epstein files are completely redacted, the Alien Enemies aren’t who you think, one ceasefire is shabar and the other is mertvyy, and are Social Security checks going bye-bye?

Adrian responds to listener who thinks he’s too anti-Russia, we hatch a scheme to launch the YAAIIYBTC Coin (You’re An Idiot If You Buy This Coin) Cryptocurrency, Trump provides full transparency into his bribe-taking operation, Hegseth gives the rest of the world an espionage windfall, DoD says AI will start making decisions for them, and we’re still trying to figure out what the overall plan is here. 

We do a deep dive into the historic Oval Office Reality TV show, and what the fallout from the falling out will be, including what each sides’ true motive may have been, we contemplate the role of Russia, Israel, and the tech billionaires role in steering America’s future and where it all might be heading, and we wonder whether a nuclear war might be the best possible outcome.

As Trump and Putin carve up Ukraine, we go through the potential scenarios, and try to figure out whether Trump is a Russian asset, or he has just ensured Putin’s defeat in a brillant manipulation…and if so, did he actually mean to do it. Warren Sapp knows his rights, prosecution screws up bigtime in the Luigi trial, and with the Prophecy of the Popes come true?
