Ambitious Crossover Attempt

Noam and Jen take on Scott Adams performatively getting himself canceled, social media weirdos trying to performatively get a food YouTuber canceled for making a Hogwarts Legacy video, who didn't perform at CPAC this year, and the performances in The Mandalorian and The Last Of Us. 

We will be on our regular Callin schedule this week of Wednesday night at 8:30 Eastern, come join us live!

Jen and Noam commemorate the one year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by discussing the dumbest Ukraine war takes of the present and the past, and wonder where all the war footage is (jk it’s on Twitter we see it every day). 

And in late breaking news - it’s ok to talk about lab leak theory in public now! In fact there seems to be some coalescing of intelligence that it may in fact be the explanation for the COVID pandemic!

Jen and Noam wade back into the Damar Hamlin conspiracy theory now that he’s being accused of being dead and having a body double and also making a deepfake video, and Jen tees off on people who are still seeking validation for not being vaccinated. After that we take a look at the recently released body cam footage of the Paul Pelosi attack, and Jen tees off on people who are still seeking validation for spreading weird lies about Pelosi on Twitter. Finally we spend some time on the Tyre Nichols video (which Noam has not watched) and our thoughts on the incident writ large.

And of course we talk a little about The Last Of Us episode two, including seeing a clicker for the first time in the show and That Kiss.

Noam and Jen look at the curious case of George Santos, who has lied about damn near everything but has fessed up to doing drag and liking it (but not to stealing money from a dying dog). We also discuss Joe Biden fessing up to having classified documents all over the place from his time as VP and if that makes him better, worse, or the same as Trump.

As a palette cleanser we discuss the first episode of the HBO show The Last Of Us, which is a very good show about a zombie pandemic apocalypse.

It’s the end of the year, Jen and Noam are exhausted, but Twitter is relentless and brutal. Trump makes a big NFT announcement, another round of Twitter Files dropped that nobody noticed, and Elon plays Calvinball with the Twitter content moderation rules.

And yes we acknowledge that the rules were altered AGAIN after this episode, we pray they are not altered again but know they will be. 

This is our last episode of 2022 so to all of you, no matter if you were here from Episode 0 or just joined us, THANK YOU for making the first year of this pod so successful. Trust us, we have no plans on leaving you guys and we have some big plans for 2023 so prepare yourselves…

Chag Hanukkah sameach, merry Christmas, Habari Gani, and may you all have a happy and prosperous New Year!
