In this high-stakes episode of the All About Nothing podcast, Barrett Gruber, Zach King, and Bill Kimler break down the chaotic fallout from the recent State of the Union address. From the blatant inaccuracies in Trump’s speech to the "highlight" of Representative Al Green, the guys spare no one in their critique of the 2026 political landscape.

The discussion dives deep into FCC Chairman Brendan Carr’s "Pledge of America" campaign—a push for patriotic media as the U.S. approaches its semiquincentennial—and the performative nature of the Ten Commandments in schools legislation. The room gets heated as they debate Pam Bondi’s public image and the USA Men's Hockey team’s controversial behavior during the SOTU.

Most importantly, the show hits a major milestone: Bill Kimler announces his departure from the podcast to focus on his upcoming political campaign. The team details their upcoming hiatus for March and April, teasing a May return focused on toxic masculinity in politics and the revival of fan-favorite segments.

In this episode of The All About Nothing: Kinda Daily Show, Barrett Gruber and Bill Kimler recap the emotional high of Team USA’s Gold Medal win in Men’s Hockey. But the celebration is cut short as they critique FBI Director Kash Patel's presence and actions during the games, sparking a deep dive into the cognitive dissonance currently gripping political discourse.

The conversation shifts from the rink to the future of the American landscape as the hosts break down Project Matador—the ambitious, controversial plan to build a massive AI data center and energy campus. Is it a leap forward for American tech, or an impossible drain on our power grid?

Plus: The guys tackle the "ABC Song" change that’s dividing parents, the looming threat of space debris (Kessler Syndrome) in a satellite-heavy world, and how to handle technical glitches when the "world just keeps getting weirder."

In this powerful edition of the All About Nothing podcast, Barrett Gruber and Zach King are joined by Zolal Habibi, a tireless human rights activist and member of the NCRI Foreign Affairs Committee.

Zolal shares the heartbreaking personal history that fuels her activism—the execution of her father during the 1988 massacre—and connects it to the current January 2026 uprising. The conversation explores why women have become the vanguard of the resistance, the structural failures of the "religious dictatorship," and why the policy of "appeasement" must end.

As Iran marks the 40th-day memorials for the fallen protesters this February, Zolal outlines the Ten-Point Plan for a secular, democratic republic and explains how targeted sanctions and international recognition of the "right to resist" are the keys to a free Iran.

Partnered with Broadcast and Media Relation Manager of the Columbia Fireflies, John Kocsis, Jr., Here is your Columbia Fireflies Update!

Thanks to Cake (the band) for our Columbia Fireflies Update Music Bed; "Shadow Stabbing."

In this heavy-hitting episode of The All About Nothing: Kinda Daily Show, Barrett Gruber and Bill Kimler reflect on the passing of Reverend Jesse Jackson, who died yesterday at age 84. They pay tribute to his "Rainbow Coalition" legacy and the doors he opened for generations of leaders, while also addressing the complicated political accountability of the Jackson family.

The conversation shifts to a massive breaking story from the United Nations, where experts have officially declared that allegations within the newly released Epstein files may meet the legal threshold for "crimes against humanity." The hosts discuss the systematic failures that allowed this global enterprise to persist and what this means for international justice.

On the home front, the "low-fire" job market of early 2026 just got personal—Bill shares the news that 30% of his team was laid off this week. They dive into why GoFundMe is becoming the new social safety net for rent and groceries, the "insanity" of current voting controversies, and Barrett’s ongoing struggle to access his Bitcoin.

In this powerful "Monday morning" edition of the All About Nothing: Kinda Daily Show, Barrett Gruber and Bill Kimler process a weekend that felt too short and a news cycle that feels too heavy.

The episode opens with a tribute to the late Robert Duvall, who passed away yesterday at 95. From his iconic role as Tom Hagen in The Godfather to the grit of Lonesome Dove, the hosts discuss why Duvall was the ultimate "actor's actor" and how his legacy represents a vanishing era of authentic storytelling.

Shifting from Hollywood to Washington, the guys tackle the latest chaos surrounding the Epstein Files Transparency Act. With millions of pages now public, they discuss the "random redactions," the lack of accountability for the "monsters in power," and the national division fueled by years of conspiracy.

Finally, they dive into a literary debate: Stephen King vs. Clive Barker. They explore the psychology of nostalgia, the emotional weight of a "perfect ending," and why some stories stay with us forever while others "sundown" into obscurity.

Was Super Bowl LXI a masterpiece or a massive letdown? In this episode of The All About Nothing: Kinda Daily Show, Barrett Gruber and Bill Kimler give their unfiltered reactions to the big game.

Bill doesn't hold back, labeling it one of the worst Super Bowls in recent memory, while Barrett admits he may have slept through some of the "action." The guys dive deep into the commercials, debating the emotional resonance of the Lay's "Father-Daughter" ad versus the comedic styling of Andy Samberg.

The conversation gets global as the hosts explore the rising popularity of women's rugby and cricket before shifting to a powerful recap of the anti-ICE protests held over the weekend. They wrap up with a look at the cultural footprint of Bad Bunny’s halftime performance and the excitement surrounding Steven Spielberg’s mysterious new film project.

In Episode 293 of The All About Nothing podcast, Barrett Gruber and Zach King brave the snow days to bring you a truly eclectic deep dive.

The show kicks off with an unexpected obsession: Olympic Curling. Barrett and Zac break down why it’s the most skill-heavy sport on ice before Barrett reveals the smelly, blue aftermath of his latest beard-dyeing bet.

The conversation takes a sharp turn into the 2026 political landscape. The guys analyze Tim Scott’s recent reactions to Donald Trump, the "authenticity" of Lindsey Graham's latest maneuvers, and the explosive updates regarding the Epstein files. With the Clintons set for upcoming testimony and the MAGA base’s reaction to the latest redactions, the hosts explore the theme of "political projection."

Finally, they tackle the human cost of ICE raids specifically targeting Democrat-run areas and close out with their predictions for the Super Bowl.

Get ready for the big game with Barrett Gruber and Bill Kimler in this deep-dive Super Bowl special. The guys kick things off with a preview of Bad Bunny’s official halftime performance, discussing whether the global superstar can live up to the hype.

Then, they pivot to the controversial Turning Point USA "Alternative Halftime Show." With the performers still "unknown," Barrett and Bill speculate on who might take the stage for the conservative counter-program and what it means for the fragmentation of American media.

Finally, they look at the "smart money" using Polymarket. From the final score to the color of the Gatorade and even political "black swan" events during the broadcast, they analyze the most bizarre prediction market trends. Who wins? Who flops? And is the Super Bowl the last place where Americans actually agree on anything?
