September 21, 2026It's MackleMORE, not Mackle lessAlex rants about Ed Sheeran's spine issues (he doesn't have one), art as a form of political expression, the consequences of billionaires controlling the flow of free speech, and how AI is allegedly going to destroy us all. ...more22minPlay
September 04, 2026New (Disgusting) Precedent Just DroppedThey're doing WHAT with the AI now?!?!Alex rants about PTO, Israel, the new federal appeals court ruling that legalizing doing the most disgusting thing imaginable with generative AI, and once again, Flock Cameras. ...more17minPlay
August 09, 2026TSN: Brand New Day (Alex Reviews Spider-Man)Alex returns after some more time off to talk about where he's been (mostly watching Spider-Man). After a brief rant about politics, Alex talks mostly, about Spider-Man. Sorry to the political listeners out there, but we're doing Spider-Man this week. ...more24minPlay
July 27, 2026Do You Even Own Your Stuff Anymore?Alex rants about digital privacy - specifically how an ongoing case violating a man's rights blatantly in an airport - sets a precedent that the Trump Administration - or US Government no matter what color the tie - can and will do whatever they want to you, as long as corporate entities continue to foot all of the bills. ...more24minPlay
July 21, 2026Flock Cameras and the Automated OmnipticonAlex rants about the US Government allegedly using AI image generation to keep more than just Mitch McConnell's legacy alive, obvious senate nepotism, Flock Cameras and the state of the surveillance state, and apologizes for the previous episode.

July 18, 2026Smokin That Lady G PackFather time catches up with all of us, even if you're a senator. Alex returns to give a disorganized rant about the state of the world, the recent passing of Senator Graham, and the implications of… something. ...more26minPlay
May 19, 2026Tired Man Rants About Current EventsAfter two weeks off, Alex returns, already exhausted, and talks about the news (maybe? I blacked out for like 20 min idk man sorry about this one), impending threats to freedom of speech, gas prices, Israel, Michelle Obama quotes, and (probably) so much more. ...more22minPlay
May 04, 2026Demented, Like the PresidentAlex returns to rant about abstinence, autocrats, and automation in the workplace (and how it's trying to take the humans out of humans before taking the humans out of the workplace altogether). ...more26minPlay
April 27, 2026New Ballroom, No BallsThe White House Correspondents Dinner went south really fast yesterday, and somehow an attempt at the President's life is being used to justify lifting the red tape around the new White House ballroom (by the President). Alex discusses that (and why this ballroom is so important to him), theorizes about whether or not the biggest CEOs have AI psychosis, and roasts both sides of the political aisle for peddling nonsense and manipulating narratives to gain votes. ...more23minPlay
April 20, 2026The Billionaire Dilemma and News FatigueThis is truly getting exhausting. It would be wonderful if the government could maybe give us a day off from the madness. Trump did a lot, and Alex cannot pinpoint a single thing he's done to rant about which becomes a rant in itself about news fatigue. Pete Hegseth accidentally quoted Pulp Fiction while thinking he was quoting a Bible verse. CEOs (especially healthcare ones) are unethical just for existing, and I'll prove it to you with philosophy, here. ...more23minPlay
