Jen and Noam discuss failsons who have made the headlines this week - Hunter Biden, Donald Trump, and Nate Hochman. 

Hunter is in an on again off again relationship with his plea deal, Trump once again conscripted the most ill-equipped person to help him in the cover-up of his Mar-a-Lago boxes fiasco, and Hochman torpedoed a prominent position as a speechwriter for DeSantis by creating and seeding a pro-DeSantis video featuring some gnarly Nazi iconography. 

Show notes:

Yes, the Hochman video is every bit as bad as Jen says, including the Nazi iconography at the end

Noam and Jen spend a whole hour talking about OPPENHEIMER, everything from the movie itself to the renewed debate over America being The Bad Guy for dropping atomic bombs on imperial Japan because They Were About To Surrender.

Jen and Noam take a look at the RFK Jr video where he floated the idea that COVID is a bioweapon engineered to spare Jews and Chinese, revisit Cokegate now that we know we will never know whose coke it was, and wrap up with our thoughts on Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1

We will be back on Callin this week at our normal time Thursday 7:30pm Eastern, barring any unforeseen incidents

Noam and Jen discuss Cokegate aka who left their coke in the White House cubby and was it Hunter Biden, their opinions on the US giving Ukraine cluster munitions, and the online reactions to both stories. 

We will be skipping Callin this week due to IRL life stuff, we will let you know when we will be resuming our normal schedule

Jen was sick during our normal recording time, but she soldiered through because there was too much going on to not record. We hit on the latest view-throttling Twitter scheme from Elon, then move on to the SCOTUS decisions on affirmative action in college admissions and compelled speech in the face of hypothetical situations.

We will likely skip Callin this week due to this episode coming out later but who knows…

Noam and Jen discuss the brief military coup launched by Prigozhin and his Wagner crew, with an emphasis on what it all means for Russia (and Putin) going forward.

Noam and Jen chat a bit about embarrassing ChatGPT screw ups and how you shouldn’t rely on it for research purposes before getting into the emerging Team Trump vs Team DeSantis online battle, and finish up discussing what life during wartime actually looks like versus what some Americans think it should look like.

Please, for the love of God, don’t use ChatGPT as a source for any information that is of vital importance. It’s been known to lie.
