November 05, 2024 Episode CCXLIV: The execution of Peanut & Fred & Erection Special
Squirrel and Raccoon Execution Discussed
Lamentably, we discussed the case of a squirrel named Peanut and a raccoon named Fred, who were executed by the State of New York. They criticized the government's priorities, pointing out that the state could not handle crime committed by migrants but could dispatch 12 officers to deal with a squirrel. We cannot express how angry we are that this happened.
We covered the current political climate and the potential outcomes of the upcoming US presidential election. They presented polling data that suggested Donald Trump could win without any toss-up states, although he acknowledged that the accuracy of these numbers might change after the votes are counted. Jay also discussed the influence of legacy media versus podcasters, and how the latter have become more popular for news dissemination. He criticized the Democratic Party's focus on progressive ideologies, which he believes could lead to their loss. He also mentioned the potential defeat of progressive candidates in the upcoming elections and the shift away from the environment, sustainability, and governance agenda in the private sector.

We discussed immigration and its impact on the US. Jay argued that the US is one of the few countries where you don't need an ID to vote, and questioned why this is the case. He also mentioned that in Mexico, you need a federally issued voter ID card to vote. Jay then shifted the discussion to the economic impact of immigration, stating that most American Latinos worry about the influx of largely poor, barely educated immigrants taking their jobs or lowering their wages. He also mentioned that the Congressional Budget Office warns that the recent massive surge in immigration could impact the salaries of low-income workers, many of whom are Latino. Jay also criticized the progressive left for their focus on climate change and limiting meat consumption, arguing that these issues are not a priority for working-class Americans. He concluded by stating that he wants someone to justify the behavior of the progressive left, as he believes they do not represent all Democratic voters.

They agreed that they would be surprised if Kamala Harris won, but acknowledged the possibility of some election fraud. They also discussed the potential for riots and unrest in liberal cities if Trump won. Chris expressed his desire for Trump to win so that he could no longer be used as a boogeyman, while Jay and Angel shared their concerns about Kamala Harris's qualifications and the potential for price fixing and government interference in the economy. The group also discussed the potential for government interference in education costs and the inflation of education expenses.

The conversation then shifted to various topics, including a British woman marrying a 300-year-old dead Haitian pirate, a British singer marrying a 300-year-old dead man, and the challenges of dealing with a stalker ghost ex-husband. The conversation ended with a reference to a scene from the movie Macgruber involving a character having sex with a ghost wife in a cemetery.

October 15, 2024 Episode CCXLII: Winds of change in Portland, Hamtramck big sad
Hamtramck's Pride Flag Controversy and Tensions
We discussed the city of Hamtramck, Michigan, which has become more diverse with immigrants from various backgrounds. The city's decision to block the display of the pride flag on city property has angered the LGBQT+ community and some allies, who feel betrayed by the lack of support they provided to the immigrant community. The issue has led to increased tension and vandalism of pride flags on private property.
Strategic Move of Muslim Community Discussed
They also pointed out the strategic move of the Muslim community in the current situation, using the group's values to their advantage. The conversation ended with Lake asking for the opinions of the others on the matter.
Portland and Vancouver's Challenges and Policy Experiments
Jay discussed the challenges faced by Portland and Vancouver, including violence, a Fentanyl and homelessness crisis, a pandemic, and progressive policy experiments. He highlighted the city's decriminalization of all drugs as a significant policy experiment and the dissatisfaction of some liberals with the government. Lake also mentioned the city's struggles with rising rates of homelessness, Fentanyl abuse, and a negative national reputation, leading to a significant exodus of residents and taxable income. The city's government structure has been altered, with 19 people running for mayor and 98 for city council seats. The conversation ended with concerns about reverting to old punitive policies instead of better implementing new progressive ideas.
Portland's Liberal Policies and Election Polls
The group discussed their thoughts on Portland's liberal policies and perceived lack of consequences for lawlessness, agreeing that the city has long been problematic. They also analyzed the latest polls showing a tie between Trump and Harris, with Angel suggesting Trump may win due to Harris being an underwhelming candidate rather than his own strategic advantage. Additionally, they touched on the edited 60 Minutes interview where Harris's stance on Israel seemed stronger than her actual comments. The group concluded that despite media efforts to portray Trump as having no chance, he might still prevail in the election.
Electoral College Predictions and Implications
Jay, chris, and Angel discussed the electoral college numbers and predictions for the upcoming election. Trump was leading in several key states, but the margins were slight. chris expressed confidence that Trump would win, citing Hillary Clinton's unpopularity in 2016. Lake criticized Kamala Harris's comments about hurricane relief aid. The conversation also touched on the potential impacts of eliminating the electoral college system. Jay planned to check the numbers daily leading up to the election.
Doritos After Dark Restaurant Opening Discussion
Jay shared details about the Doritos After Dark restaurant opening in Los Angeles, featuring unique Doritos-inspired menu items like Doritos-flavored margaritas and burritos. chris expressed interest in trying the dishes, while Angel was less enthusiastic. The restaurant's colorful ambiance reminded Lake of the Taco Bell fine dining scene in the movie Demolition Man.
CD Sales Resurgence and Physical Media Discussion
We discussed the resurgence of CD sales, attributing it to a desire for tangible connection to music, better sound quality, nostalgia, and affordability. chris and Angel agreed, emphasizing the importance of owning physical media and the potential loss of content due to licensing issues with digital platforms. They also discussed the high cost of digital subscription services and the ongoing market for physical media like vinyl records, CDs, and video games.

October 09, 2024 Episode CCXLI: the docks, scab consumption & urine distillation & more
Wage Increase, Strike, Automation, and Economic Impact
The group discussed the recent wage increase for dock workers and the potential consequences of their strike. Angel expressed concern about the potential for supply chain disruptions and the impact on the economy, while jay acknowledged the importance of unions and the need for fair compensation. However, they both agreed that the inevitable result of the strike would be the acceleration of automation, which could lead to job losses. Chris added that automation is inevitable and will expedite the process. The group concluded that the situation is complex and that the long-term effects of the strike and automation are uncertain.
Hurricane Impact, FEMA Funding, and Media Coverage
We discussed the devastating effects of the recent hurricane in the United States, particularly in Tennessee and rural North Carolina, and the potential destruction of Tampa. They criticized FEMA's funding situation and the lack of aid for hurricane victims compared to aid provided to Ukraine. Jay expressed frustration over the lack of immediate action from Congress to address the needs of hurricane victims and criticized the media for not adequately reporting on the situation. They also discussed the criticism of Kamala Harris's response to hurricane damage and the role of propaganda in shaping public opinion.
Free Speech and Content Moderation Discussion
The gang discussed free speech and content moderation on social media platforms. Angel opposed regulating social media, believing people would find alternative communication methods. The group disagreed with Chelsea Clinton's stance on restricting phones in schools, arguing tablets pose similar issues.
Addiction, Recovery, and Community Support
Bassett now works with the Partnership for a Drug-Free Community in Alabama to support prevention and recovery efforts. They also discussed their own struggles with addiction, with Jayadmitting to a chocolate and peanut butter addiction and chris joking about the lengths people go to avoid failing a drug test. The conversation highlighted the depths of depravity some addicts will go to in their pursuit of a high.
Street Takeovers, Party Habits, and Ancient Petroglyphs
Additionally, we discussed street takeovers in Cleveland, with cars performing dangerous stunts and police taking 40 minutes to respond. They reminisced about their past partying habits. jayshared a story about the former Cleveland mayor sending homeless people away during events. They also discussed the discovery of ancient petroglyphs in Nevada by Larry Benson, providing insight into early North American culture. The petroglyphs are believed to be over 10,000 years old and Benson's dating techniques using rock coatings could be applied elsewhere.

October 01, 2024 Episode CCXL: Paulie P's stonks dump, Mayor Tiff, Oakland & more
The gang discuss the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Ian, described as a once-in-a-generation storm. They share details about the widespread devastation, including towns being wiped away, record-breaking rainfall, and millions left without power across multiple states. The hurricane maintained its strength even after making landfall, exacerbating the damage. The boys mention specific affected areas like Gatlinburg, Tennessee, Chimney Rock and Asheville, North Carolina. The group expresses sympathy for those impacted and gratitude for being spared from such disasters. They note the efforts of out-of-state power crews assisting with recovery efforts.
Earth's Inner Core Rotation and Its Impact
We reviewed an article about Earth's inner core rotating more slowly than usual since 2010, a phenomenon known as backtracking. This could potentially alter the planet's overall rotation and lengthen our days. The inner core is a solid iron and nickel chunk, surrounded by the outer core, a super hot layer of molten metals. The study analyzed data from over 100 repeating earthquakes to confirm this change. The ongoing research on the Earth's inner core is challenging, with uncertainties about the cause of backtracking and the frequency of acceleration and deceleration. The study aims to continue analyzing seismic data to learn more about the inner core and its changes over time.
Ocean, Black Holes, Insider Trading, and Inflation
Jay discussed his fascination with the ocean and black holes, expressing interest in sea monsters and the role of supermassive black holes in maintaining order in galaxies. He also questioned the claim that insider trading does not occur among members of Congress, citing the sale of Visa stock by Paul Pelosi, husband of Nancy Pelosi, just a week before the Department of Justice Antitrust lawsuit. The conversation also touched on inflation, the stock market, and the missing 2 trillion dollars on September 10th, 2001, with a reference to the subsequent Pentagon attack.
Mexican Cartel's Drug Trafficking Operations in Montana
Jay discussed the Mexican cartel's drug trafficking operations in Montana, including their influence on the resort industry and involvement in distributing fentanyl and methamphetamine. He mentioned they have set up operations on Indian reservations due to limited law enforcement presence. Lake also highlighted the arrest of a former Mexican police officer linked to the Sinaloa cartel, which dismantled a drug ring. He emphasized the challenges law enforcement faces due to Montana's vast geography and underfunded tribal police.
FBI Investigation Into Oakland Mayor and Duong Family
We discussed the ongoing FBI investigation into Oakland's Mayor, Shen Thal, and the Duong family. The investigation is expanding and has subpoenaed the Oakland Police Department. The investigation is reportedly linked to campaign contribution laundering and transparency issues. Lake also mentioned the case of Mayor Tiffany Henyard from Illinois, who is facing eviction due to unpaid rent. Henyard has been criticized for her spending habits and has been involved in several controversies.
Gratitude, Content Sharing, and Halloween Discussion
Jay & Chris expressed gratitude for Angel's return after recovering from pneumonia. Angel encouraged listeners to check out their content on Bitchute and subscribe to their Patreon for more content. Lake also mentioned a recent conversation with Christopher, who had to leave early due to technical issues. The team also discussed the start of spooky season and the importance of personal hygiene during Halloween.

September 09, 2024 Episode CCXXXVIII: Dinner down by the lake in Springfield.
Cats, dogs, ducks, geese. All edible & on the menu down in Springfield. Democrats on the Twatter say it isn't happening, yet we have receipts. If you are not upset, perhaps you ought to consider getting upset. More tidbits from the Nashville shooter, another nutbar shooter (school is back in session, obviously), Kamalatoe and her policies, yes the gangs really did take over stuff in the big CO, and more of the same from Kentuckistan. The close of summer and start of autumn is going at full steam.

August 27, 2024 Episode CCXXXVII: the noodles, the aliens & the greening
We celebrate a win for the 2nd, as there is potential that the NFA will be taken on in the future, soon we hope. We discussed the appointment of Shania Nair, an advocate for a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda in nuclear security, in the Department of Energy under the Biden Harris administration. Jay initiated a discussion about the possibility of extraterrestrial life, with Angel and Chris expressing their belief in the existence of life beyond Earth. We reviewed a new study suggesting the existence of four hostile alien civilizations in the Milky Way, according to a model by Alberto Caballero. The study's limitations were also discussed, including the assumption that alien intelligence would have similar values and senses of empathy to humans. Cops using kittens for target practice, fake expensive instant Ramen noodles, collective disgusting sexual harassment, how greening is actually the problem and more of the same.
