Episode 097 of Call the Line is one for the history books — recorded live on April 7th, 2026, because as Jimmy put it, "by the time this would've released, a nuclear bomb might have gone off in the Middle East." And honestly? He wasn't far off.

Jimmy and Alyssa break down the most alarming Truth Social posts Donald Trump has ever written — including a declaration that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" — posted just days after writing "Praise Be to Allah" on Easter Sunday. They dig into what it means when the sitting U.S. president openly uses genocidal language to threaten Iran, why the "it's just a bluff" defense doesn't hold up, and what this has to do with the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices, and Trump's poll numbers.

The phone lines were open the entire show — and almost no MAGA supporters called in to defend it. Almost. John from Illinois finally called in, and things went sideways immediately — interrupting every sentence, debating the definition of "irony," insisting bombing Iran is secretly great for Taiwan, and eventually rage-quitting when the logic collapsed. Then Andrew from New Jersey called in saying he supports the war "100%" before admitting he can't afford health insurance. Then a 27-year-old from Texas says he's just "agnostic" on whether we should destroy a civilization and wait to see the results.

Alyssa also shares news of a MAGA relative posting on Facebook, brings emotional perspective on a friend whose family lives in Iran and can't even be reached due to internet outages, calls out Meghan Kelly for staying on her knees for a man who mocked her menstrual cycle on national television, and opens a birthday present on air — a "Stay Salty" Morton Salt girl sticker (iconic).

This week on Call the Line, Jimmy and Alyssa are unpacking a week so chaotic it barely fits in one episode. First up: the open secret that just went very, very public — Kristi Noem's husband Jason Jackson and his involvement in the bimbification scene, complete with giant silicone titties, hooter shorts, and tuck jobs. Yes, really. And apparently he also told people online that his wife was cheating on him with Corey Lewandowski. Presidential aspirations? Absolutely cooked. Done. The dog murder was one thing, but this is another level entirely.

Then, Pam Bondi is OUT as Attorney General — and the replacement, Todd Blanch, immediately declared the Epstein Files investigation closed. "Everything has been released," he says. It has not. Jimmy breaks down exactly what we know is still hidden, why the redactions matter, and what happens to all of it if there's ever a flip in power.

We also cover the Artemis mission looping around the moon without actually landing on it (Jimmy has thoughts — "pussy ass shit" is said several times), Blake Lively's lawsuit being largely dismissed, Iran shooting down an F-15, Pete Hegseth firing 15 generals, and a look-maxxer shooting an alligator in Florida for absolutely no reason.

To top it all off, Jimmy and Alyssa dig into Louis Theroux's Into the Manosphere documentary — breaking down why these guys fall apart under the mildest questioning, the HS confrontation, Andrew Tate's increasingly cornered energy, and what it all says about the men recruiting young boys into this stuff.

All that plus Patron of the Day Jeff Hacks (he sounds like an insider trader), moon turtles, and the immortal phrase: "Send us your dads."

Episode 095 of The Line As A Podcast drops on the final day of Jimmy's birthday month, and Jimmy Snow and Alyssa Ljub are not holding back. This week, the duo breaks down the Druski/Erika Kirk viral moment — why whiteface isn't the same as blackface, why that explanation is actually simple, and why the outrage machine is embarrassing itself. Then things get serious: new corroborating evidence has emerged in the sexual abuse allegations against former and current President Donald Trump, and Jimmy gives his most direct take yet on what the accumulation of evidence actually means.

From there, they tackle Israel's new death penalty law for Palestinians, the terrifying Idaho bathroom bill that could land trans people in prison for life, Marjorie Taylor Greene's strange evolution away from MAGA, and the Epstein files that Pam Bondi's DOJ seems very uninterested in actually investigating. Jimmy connects the dots between the Iran war and the Epstein news cycle — and the pattern is as cynical as it sounds.

On the lighter side: the new Mario movie is out, astronauts are orbiting the moon, and OpenAI's Sora is dead. Plus, the show reveals the name of an exciting new Saturday program coming to The Line Network — the Dvangelicals — featuring Justin from Deconstruction Zone and Sarah from Leaving Faith.

Alyssa is joined by Taylor (Skeptical Heretic) for a chaotic, deeply online dive into politics, Christian nationalism, social media addiction, and why the U.S. feels like a reality show right now.

They start with creator life and ADHD brain rot: “fake jobs,” unpaid activism, being glued to their phones “for research,” and how doomscrolling politics content wrecks their mental health. From there they go straight into Trump’s briefings, the cult-like “suck fest” around him, his likely cognitive decline, and the truly embarrassing way he talks about “insane asylums” because he doesn’t understand what asylum means.

Alyssa and Taylor dig into white nationalism, Christian nationalism, and the normalization of Nazi symbolism on the right, plus the conspiracy-brain antisemitism driving the Manosphere and far-right influencers. They connect that to moral panics over trans people and immigrants—tiny percentages of the population that conservatives obsess over despite rarely interacting with them in real life.

They also unpack a huge social media addiction lawsuit, where a 20-year-old woman sued over intentionally addictive algorithms (infinite scroll, engagement-maximizing feeds) and won millions. That case could be Big Tech’s “big tobacco moment” and raises hard questions about personal responsibility vs. corporate accountability when apps are literally designed to keep you hooked.

Later they touch on X/Twitter as the Wild West, Elon’s “dark MAGA” era, AI tools being used for genuinely harmful stuff, and how impossible it feels to opt out of AI when employers and platforms are all-in.

Jimmy and Alyssa spiral through politics, religion, YouTube drama, and death in one chaotic episode.

They start with American healthcare and why a “Medicare for y’all” public option is a trap compared to true Medicare for All. Then it’s gas prices, a Georgia woman charged with murder for taking abortion pills, and Trump’s wildly inappropriate Pearl Harbor “joke” to a Japanese reporter. Jimmy jokingly connects Hitler’s death date to Trump’s birth and runs Trump through an Antichrist checklist while they roast the way conservatives once insisted Obama was the Antichrist instead.​

On the creator side, Alyssa talks about watching a Manosphere documentary and why some of her best content comes when she’s exhausted, while Jimmy rants about VR channels and a Christian woodworking YouTuber whose “game‑changer” thumbnails and constant Jesus branding make him want to debate the guy on God. They also dig into Alyssa’s lingering YouTube strike and why you have to fight bogus hits instead of waiting for them to expire.​

The second half gets darker: Trump deploying ICE to airports and using chaos to pressure Democrats into backing the SAVE Act, Trump celebrating Robert Mueller’s death, and Jimmy’s line between celebrating a villain’s natural death and condemning assassination. They hit Bill Cosby’s $19.3 million judgment, billionaire hoarding, and the deaths of figures like Chuck Norris and the OnlyFans CEO.​

In the extended Patreon episode, they go deep on “Under the Banner of Heaven,” the Brenda Lafferty murder case, Mormon history, blood atonement, and what it means to waste your one certain life chasing an afterlife that never comes.

Jimmy and Alyssa dive into the chaos around GLP‑1 drugs like Ozempic and how garbage headlines twist basic science into click‑bait panic. They break down what these meds actually do for heart health, obesity, and addiction, and why pharma can charge over a grand for something that costs a few bucks to make.​

From there they zoom out: COVID “lab leak” conspiracy discourse, why people say “masks never worked,” and how media illiteracy plus bad‑faith actors keep everyone fighting about origins instead of fixing health systems and policy failures.​

They also rage about Pentagon waste: billions in spending while veterans struggle, and itemized luxuries like lobster tails and steaks that somehow always get approved faster than adequate mental‑health care.​

On the culture side, they unpack a canceled Bachelorette season after domestic‑violence charges, talk about gendered double standards when women are the abusers, and connect it to a much darker thread: the Epstein documents and long‑ignored allegations against powerful men.​

In between the heavy stuff, expect ancient Sumerian fart jokes, dog‑breeding nightmares, and a lot of swearing about how we got to this version of reality.

Trump promised “no new wars” and “cheap gas,” but now the U.S. is bombing Iran, gas prices are spiking, and even his own MAGA counterterror official resigned saying there was no imminent threat and the war was pushed by Israel’s lobby. Jimmy and Alyssa dig into how we got here, how much of this is about distraction from Trump’s Epstein‑adjacent scandals, and why his base doesn’t seem to feel the consequences of any of it.​

They also talk about debate culture and platforming: why shows like Jubilee put literal Nazis on camera, how “hate‑watching” once accidentally revived dying Christian reactionary channels, and why The Line is trying to be a counter‑force with a new debate gimmick Jimmy spent all weekend “vibe coding.”​

Alyssa then tells the story of getting slapped by YouTube for a totally standard vulva/vagina medical diagram in a sex‑ed video—only to be forced into a policy training that showed even more explicit diagrams than the one she used. That launches a bigger conversation about America’s fear of real sex education, why so many people don’t know where the cervix actually is, and how creators who teach responsibly get nerfed while porn‑adjacent content thrives.​

Finally, they hit the Florida story: a bill to ban first‑cousin marriage failed, leaving Florida as one of the states where marrying your first cousin is still legal, even as other red states can’t pass basic child‑marriage bans. Along the way they talk about attraction to people who look like our relatives, why that gives them both the ick, and what it says about a culture that will protect cousin weddings before it protects kids or sex ed.​

The Line Has a Podcast hits episode 90 and Jimmy and Alyssa finally admit the show can’t keep coasting. A rare “bonus show at the beginning” turns into a brutally honest talk about how the pod is technically operating at a loss, how Patreon is the only reason it’s still alive, and why they’re seriously considering a big format change before episode 100.​

They sketch out a live–recorded version of the show tied into Jimmy’s Monday call‑in stream and Skeptoc, with stricter start/stop times, pre‑recorded mid‑roll ads, and super chats helping keep the lights on. Alyssa admits she “sundowns like Joe Biden” at night while Jimmy tries to protect his only day off, and they debate whether bonus content should be pre‑show, post‑show, or totally separate.​

Then the heavy stuff: Donald Trump’s war with Iran, the U.S. literally blowing up an all‑girls school when killing the Ayatollah, and gas prices jumping past Biden’s post‑COVID highs. Jimmy goes off on voters who swore a vote for Harris was a vote for war with Iran, only to now defend regime change, a more radical successor, and $5–$8 gas in places like LA. Alyssa asks where all the “pro‑life” people are while little girls are dying in U.S. airstrikes.​

They also dig into post‑9/11 déjà vu: ISIS‑inspired attacks, a bomb thrown at a Muslim mayor’s residence, and Republicans like Andy Ogles openly saying Muslims don’t belong in America. Alyssa calls it what it is—Christian nationalist, white‑supremacist politics dressed up as patriotism—while Jimmy points out these same officials swore to uphold a Constitution they clearly don’t believe in.​

Between all that, there’s still chaos: Disney’s racist history and still‑fun theme parks, Hocus Pocus and hot cartoons, Pokopia as “Pokemon Animal Crossing,” and plans for sketch‑style merch ads and a future bonus episode on Under the Banner of Heaven. If you want in on shaping what this show becomes by episode 100, this is where that conversation really starts.

Jimmy and Alyssa go from video game brain rot to full political chaos in this episode. Jimmy explains how the new Pokopia game is basically Pokémon‑meets‑Animal Crossing‑meets‑Minecraft and is perfectly designed to destroy years of ADHD progress, while Alyssa talks about why she can’t risk losing her attention span to another hyper‑fixation.​

They dive into Kristi “Crusty Gnome” Noem’s disastrous hearing, taxpayer‑funded luxury jets, the weird “Shield of the Americas” promotion, and Markwayne “jacked thumb” Mullin stepping in as Trump’s new loyalist. They also unpack U.S. airstrikes, bombed schools, and the sinking realization that “we might actually be the bad guys.”​

Jimmy then retells a wild live caller named Tony who starts polite, pivots to “have you served in the military?”, and ends in a full meltdown about Iran, 9/11, liberals, and trans people after Jimmy calmly pushes back. Alyssa and Jimmy break down toxic patriotism, weaponized anger, and why some guys completely disintegrate when you don’t treat their service like a trump card.​

On the personal side, they get into sleep schedules, dog‑parent life, and a big tattoo debate: Jimmy’s “tattoos are colorful scars and ruin nudity” take versus Alyssa proudly defending being a tattooed person and loving flash and matching tattoos. Plus: “Fuck Your Birthday” merch, inside jokes, and Patreon/Discord chaos.​

If you like political commentary, unhinged caller stories, neurodivergent brain talk, and messy tattoo discourse, this one’s for you.​

Alyssa and Jimmy bounce from the “State of the Funyun” to some of the darkest, funniest corners of politics, sex, and internet culture. They build a Trump State of the Union bingo card (lies about jobs, “affordability,” weird self-bragging, and the strong possibility of poopy pants) while tearing into MAGA economics and the idea that cheap gas fixes everything.​

They go hard on Casey Anthony’s attempt to rebrand as a TikTok “legal advocate,” Pam Bondi’s failure to protect victims, and Russell Brand’s Jesus-flavored redemption tour after accusations of predatory behavior. From there it’s YouTube drama and reality TV: Mr. Beast’s “live with your ex for 30 days” stunt that Alyssa turned down, why $100k isn’t worth public humiliation, and how The Circle tried to make her “sexy sex girl” while she just wanted to play the game.​

The second half dives into kink, therapy, and bodies. Alyssa explains the SAR (Sexual Attitude Readjustment) training where future sex therapists watch confronting porn—elderly couples, disabled folks, trans people—to uncover their own biases. Jimmy talks about his lifelong disgust with feet, sweat, and handshakes, plus OCD-adjacent cleanliness rituals that leave his hands cracked and bleeding. They also roast flash tattoos as “capitalism with a needle,” unpack why some people shouldn’t get a public redemption arc, and read Patreon comments that turn into their own bit.​
