Red Channel Condition

Looking for some scorching takes? Our boys will deliver - in 15 minutes or less. Mike, Peter and Jon log in and go long on how getting older makes you lose your "filter" when you speak, go off on NYC's Mayor Adams' plan to kick the homeless and unhoused out of the subways, and go in on the rise of instant grocery delivery apps and "ghost bodegas". Also, we propose an uncommon solution to a problem of the commons. Red Channel Condition is coming hot and fresh to your ears...right now!

Our palms are sweaty, knees weak - because this mailbag's heavy. Mike, Peter and Jon get some hailing frequencies from out there in the Collective, and we've got some real bombs in this one! Our boys snap back to reality and discuss listener questions on book banning and a controversial law in Oklahoma that makes it open season on teachers, go back to the lab again on Joe Rogan and the FCC (which lets us be!), and watch an opportunity come twice in a lifetime for...Moviepass? Also, Jon polishes up the ol' tin foil hat. We only get one shot to make this episode, but you can - and should tune in as many times as you like. Lose yourself in Red Channel Condition now!

Men lie, women lie, but our boys don't! Mike, Peter and Jon dig into digits and do the math on the statistical correlation between money and life satisfaction, run the numbers on Joe Rogan's latest scandals, and calculate how much money an infamous Nintendo software pirate will need in their jailhouse commissary courtesy of the FBI. Also, what will keep Peter warmer at night - his burning couch, or our first 1,000 plays? Our latest episode + the RCC crew: the only thing left to solve for is you. Click to play now!

Listeners of the world, unite! It's time to seize the means of production, and our boys are here to smash the proletariat. Mike, Peter and Jon consider the online world of "antiwork" and a movement gone awry, ponder propaganda and how to spot it with a critical eye, and dive deep into the FBI's newest weapon in the war against privacy, Pegasus. Also, Mike proposes an end to bedroom apartheid. You have nothing to lose but your chains, comrades; stop working and start listening now!

Let's go crazy! It's the wildest gaming crossover since Gambit met Ryu, and our boys have their quarters up to talk about it. Mike, Peter and Jon trade blows about the rise of antibiotic resistant infections, tag team on the latest with Elon Musk's Neuralink project, and go for the hyper combo finish with the absolute mother of all corporate purchases - Microsoft buying Activision Blizzard. Also, Jon's lungs are getting level 3 super'd. This one's for JJ...but Red Channel Condition is for you. We've got next!

Temperature getting too cold? Not to worry, our boys are red hot in this one. Mike, Peter and Jon spice things up and talk the return of cult classic gamer TV station G4, stir the pot with video games as a culture war battle ground, toast felonious "pharma bro" Martin Shkreli's latest court room loss, and wince as their chestnuts roast over a nano-fire(!). Also, are BLTs racist? Only Mike knows for sure. Heat up your speakers with Red Channel Condition!

Take an oath with the boys - we swear this is a great episode! Mike, Peter and Jon vote on their picks for hottest new gadget at CES 2022, elect to take a long look at the interesting first week of New York City's new mayor Eric Adams, and serve the public...domain with some unique ideas for freshly lapsed copyrights.

Time to turn that calendar over to 2022 with the boys! Mike, Peter and Jon ring in the new year by talking about their favorite games from last year, doing a deep dive into NASA's new James Webb Telescope (and a deeper dive into - space trash?) and speculating on what's next for Ghislaine Maxwell after her guilty verdicts. Also, Peter tried wildberry COVID-19...and he's not a fan. You just can't beat the real thing, whether it's soft drinks or podcasts. Crack open another classic episode of Red Channel Condition now!

The holiday season - and 2021 - are coming to a close, and our boys are sending it home as only they can. Mike, Peter and Jon explore the crossover of NFTs and video games with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, the ramifications of AI-driven autonomous military weapons, and the LITERAL rise of the planet of the apes. Also, Mike makes a big investment in $POOP. Dr. Zaius was right to hate every chimp he sees, and you're right to tune in for 2021's last show. Don't make a monkey out of us; listen now!
