  • Brat summer in retrospect

    "Winter has come, grey shrouds the sun and summer is gone." We talk again now that brat summer has concluded. We look back at some of the (wrong) predictions of the future during the 80's, analyze some of the (quickly forgotten) events that transpired, North Korea's meth labs and discuss Trump's class or lack thereof.

  • Dune, X-rated content and the spice for happiness

  • Of flight logs and zoomers

    In this episode we start with Epstein's not-so-shocking flight log reveal and quickly make an autopsy of the limbs of our civilization attached to this dirty core.

    Last week the world rejoiced as it beheld Sydney Sweeney's voluptuousness... and also enjoyed her being the host of SNL.

Is there a thirst for basic sexy that woke just can't get rid of?

  • Putin gave Navalny the Pussy Riot treatment

    Russia was in the news this week for something else than the usual trenchwarfare update. With Navalny having met his demise by falling down a gulag staircase, we are really not seeing anything besides business as usual.

    In this episode we talk about Russia, its authoritarian destiny and how terrorism fed the state apparatus there and how similar mass shooting over here need to be understood in a context unique to our cultural dynamic.

  • The pandemic and its consequences

    The pandemic and its consequences have been a wild ride for the human race.
    In this episode we reflect on the world after a guy decided to have some bat soup, or whatever (political party or media outlet approved) story you wish to believe. The post-pandemic world seems to have moved on, but it's worth reflecting on where we come from.
