Episode 162 - ...And Process For All
Noam and Jen the ongoing immigration saga involving Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Trump administration's refusal to bring him back to the US despite a unanimous SCOTUS ruling to do so, Senator Van Hollen’s very odd trip to check in on Garcia, the virtues of just doing things correctly the first time, another SCOTUS ruling against Trump’s immigration policy, and what happens from here. We also spend a little time talking about how nobody is talking about Governor Josh Shapiro’s home being firebombed on the first night of Passover, and Noam does his best to lighten the mood by giving some entertainment recommendations.

Episode 161 - The Plan Is A Lie
Jen and Noam talk about tariffs some more because we’re not off that roller coaster yet, and who knows when we will be. Who has tariffs, who doesn’t, how much, and what is being subject to tariffs…well, that may all change by the time you listen to this episode. We also talk about the brewing fight / constitutional crisis over the Kilmar Abrego-Garcia case. SCOTUS says he needs to come back, but Team Trump is pretending they can’t make that happen. This is bad, considering the Trump administration's argument that once they send someone to El Salvador, their hands are tied. There is no way that will get abused in the future. To wrap up, we spend a little time talking about Bill Mahr’s lovely dinner with Trump and Friends, how we don’t care which Trump is the real one and which is the kayfabe, and if Mahr got played.

Jen and Noam talk about tariffs.

Noam and Jen muster the strength to talk about the week that was, as crappy as it was. We go over the ongoing saga of the Tate brothers and those who feel the need to platform them, Jen finally gives her rant on the right-wing podcast sphere and how fake it all is, how antisemitism is the new cool thing, Europe getting it together, the insanity of the US’s new policy of turning off military tech when it feels like it, and the end of Pax Americana.

We discuss the new Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper book about Biden, the botched release of the Epstein Files, the Tate Brothers returning to the US, and the blowup at the White House between Zelensky and Trump and Vance. At the end of the episode we give an ode to the S2E7 episode of Severance, which is just a beautiful example of visual storytelling while advancing the plot.

Episode 155 - Elon's Email Emergency
Noam and Jen go over Elon’s not so great week and his not so great reactions to his personal dramas. Specifically, his decision to send out an email to every federal employee asking them to give a five point summary of what they did on the job last week or else. Since he decided to send this email on a Saturday night the reactions from various government agencies are still coming in but the FBI and DOJ did not find it at all amusing. Where do Elon and DOGE go now that they are receiving institutional pushback? We also discuss another disaster - the Trump 2.0 administration’s first foray into serious foreign policy affairs in holding “peace talks” between the US and Russia. If it seems like someone is missing there, that’s because he was, and he made it very clear before the meeting that Ukraine would not be accepting any deal that didn’t include their input. With the talks DOA, the rare earth deal scotched, and nothing to show for the attempt, Trump decided to launch a full-scale social media attack on Zelkensky and Ukraine. It seems that calling Zelensky a dictator was a bridge too far for some conservatives however, and the cracks in the conservative coalition are starting to show. Finally we discuss the ongoing ceasefire/hostage release going on in Gaza, including Hamas finally returning the deceased members of the Bibas family. The details are horrid, and Israel’s response is still not set, but it seems we may be reaching the end of the pro-Hamas movement in the US.

Episode 154 - The Gulf Between
Jen and Noam once again try to shove a week’s worth of events into one pod episode, which is getting harder and harder because everyone refuses to just be normal. We start off by discussing the unexpected news that Elon Musk has indeed welcomed (?) his 13th child, this time with tradgirl influencer Ashley St. Clair. Question mark because Elon does not seem to want to acknowledge the child or its mother. While we try not to have too much fun at Ashley’s expense, we do discuss the realities of trad influencers not living their message, a new name for baby mamas, showing feet in a NYP photo spread, and the hypocrisy of it all. After thoroughly discussing all of that we move on to actual news, such as the possible upcoming negotiations to end the Ukrainian war. Considering we can’t figure out who’s on first, let alone who is going to be invited to the negotiations and what exactly will be negotiated and what the US’s role will be in any negotiated ceasefire, it’s a little hard to say if this is a good idea. Also not at all certain is how the Ukrainian people feel about a potential deal, whatever that may end up being. We also talk about the Department of Justice dropping its corruption case against NYC mayor Eric Adams and the extreme fallout from it, both in people quitting their jobs and reactions in the online sphere. Given that the quid pro quo is a bit hard to miss, and conservative lawyers resigning over being asked to sign off on dropping the case, how does this square with the whole draining the swamp ethos Trump promised? Finally we get to the big news that the Gulf of Mexico is now the Gulf of America. And if you don’t call it that, you’ll get kicked out of the White House. Obviously this is peak stupidity and nobody asked for it but what were Trump voters asking for exactly? And speaking of Trump, what’s up with him lately? He seems a bit disinterested in the whole being president thing. We will be back on Twitch this week, discussing all of the TV we’ve been watching over the past few weeks. Click below to subscribe!

Episode 153 - Wag The DOGE
Noam and Jen talk too much again this week and still don’t cover everything that happened. What didn’t happen are the tariffs on Canada and Mexico, because…well trade wars are not fun and easy to win after all. At least not where there is way more fun stuff to do, like threaten to have the US annex Gaza and turn it into the Las Vegas of the Middle East. Speaking of, Jen and Noam don’t agree on Trump’s intentions or what exactly he’s trying to accomplish. More importantly, if he is serious about the US getting directly involved in Gaza, who is gonna tell him it’s a really really bad idea? Is Trump trying to finesse Egypt and Jordan? Will any of this actually solve the very real problem of what to do with Gaza going forward? And of course this past week was the week of DOGE. From hijacking the Treasury payment portal, getting access to secure information, unconstitutional power grabs, turning USAID into Public Enemy #1, Trump’s interesting disinterest in DOGE’s dealings, and wasting a valuable opportunity to effect actual reform a la BLM.

Episode 152 - There's A New Tariff In Town
Jen and Noam cannot fit all of the events of this past week into one episode so we decide to focus on the upcoming slate of tariffs and the horrible American Airlines / Blackhawk collision. We discuss what tariffs may or may not mean for you and your grocery bill and try to figure out what exactly the tariffs are supposed to accomplish in the first place. Is Trump trying to stem the stream of fentanyl into the US? Bring manufacturing back to the states? Address trade imbalance? Replace the income tax? We don’t know. After that, we move on to the accidental collision of an Army Blackhawk helicopter and an American Airlines passenger jet in DC and what is to blame. We do agree that it wasn’t DEI that caused the accident, despite what the President, Vice President, Secretary of Defense, and random morons on social media say. Also discussed is the knee jerk reaction of blaming Trump despite him only being in office two weeks and the issues with the FAA going back decades. We do manage to touch on some of the other horrible awful no good that happened this past week, like the purge of government workers that Trump doesn’t like and Elon now literally having the keys to the Treasury. It was a bad week, and it was only week two. Noam decides to add a new segment to the end of the show because he wanted to talk about the latest Sanderson novel to you. He does not, however, give a Slay The Spire update. We will be back on Twitch this week, discussing all of the TV we’ve been watching over the past few weeks. Click below to subscribe!

Episode 151 - Wave Analysis
Noam and Jen try their best to ride the wave of news from Trump’s first week back in his old office. We try to decipher what Musk’s, er, heartfelt wave to the crowd / possible Nazi salute means and why he can’t just apologize for being weird in public. We then move into discussing the J6 pardon bonanza and our theories about whether the Trump camp was lying when it said each case would be evaluated individually or if Trump just noped out of doing the work. After that, we discuss the confirmation proceedings of Trump’s various Cabinet nominees, including the one whose confirmation seems to be moving at a snail’s pace (it’s Tulsi). The two biggest confirmations from the past week were Marcio Rubio as Secretary of State and Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, and we discuss the merits and demerits of each one.

Episode 150 - TikTok FlipFlop
Jen and Noam kick off the Trump presidency by discussing their first thoughts on his inaugural performance, Melania’s choice of head and face covering, if either of them was happy to be there, and the missed opportunity for a beautiful inauguration picture. We also spend a little time on Biden’s pardon frenzy and why it does (or does not) matter. From there we spend a little time not discussing the Gaza ceasefire / hostage release deal and why we both have mixed feelings on the subject. We will discuss it at some point, just not today. Finally we get to the really important story from this past week - what’s going on with TikTok? The Supreme Court upheld the law, but does it matter if nobody wants to enforce it? Will anyone make Trump enforce the law? What good would a half sale of TikTok US do, if the CCP still has access to the app’s data? Can e-girls cause a color revolution in China?

Episode 149 - Zucking Up
Noam and Jen are back for 2025! While it feels like it has been a few months since we last recorded it has only been a few weeks, we can’t help that the internet had no chill over the holidays. We get back into the groove by discussing the current SCOTUS case that will decide if TikTok US will be allowed to continue after 1/19, the legal arguments on both sides of the case, the viability of China owning a social media platform that operates in the US, how far can 1st Amendment and national security arguments be stretched, ByteDance sacrificing TikTok US before they will sell, and what the potential blowback will be if TikTok goes bye-bye. Relatedly, we discuss Mark Zuckerberg’s big announcement about the changes coming to content moderation and internal operations at Meta, his newfound hero status in certain circles, playing the victim on Rogan, and why he’s striking this tone now (hint - it’s related to the TikTok case). Lastly we discuss the wildfires currently burning in parts of Los Angeles, DEI water distribution, politicians who can’t handle a crisis, how fires work, the importance of fixing immediate issues first, and how this is all the environmentalists' fault.

Episode 148 - Good Days And Bad Days
Jen and Noam sit down one last time in 2024 to talk about how old people are just the worst. This past week gave us a Wall Street Journal piece detailing how Biden’s term has been marked by good days and bad days, the disappearance of Congresswoman Kay Granger and how it was discovered that she has been in an assisted care facility since July, if Trump really cares that Elon stepped into Congressional doodoo, the apparent allure of living in the bad part of DC, the attack on a Christmas market in Magdeburg and how the motive doesn’t make much sense to normies, and the rise of Terminally Online Rabbits. We will be taking a few weeks off from streaming due to the holidays / vacation but we’ll be back in 2025 with more random nonsense! In the meantime, be sure to subscribe to the Twitch channel.

We discuss Luigi Mangione and how he is not qualified to make final decisions on anyone in the healthcare industry, Biden’s mass pardon / commutation of prisoners on house arrest since COVID and how some non violent offender really do belong in prison, the silliness of prison abolitionists being mad that a guy who sent minors to prison for money is out free, what the actual is going on over at Bluesky, Assad officially being ousted in Syria and what comes next for the country, and the hysteria over “drones” in the night sky. Check us out Thursday nights at 7:30pm EST on Twitch, we’ll be back this week with talk about Arcane, Dan Da Dan, the Game Awards, game trailers, and who knows what else.

Jen and Noam do their very best to tackle all of the important news stories from last week. We have everyone’s favorite segment the Taylor Lorenz Minute where she has given us the concept of rawdogging air and a charming meme celebrating the murder of UHC’s CEO Brian Thompson. From there we talk about the aforementioned murder of Thompson, the vile cheering on of his death due to his job title, how we don’t even know why he was murdered, and how none of this is going to help fix the US healthcare system. We also take a look at coups around the world, starting with the attempted coup in South Korea that Noam had forgotten about and catching up with the goings on in Syria and the end of the Assad regime.

Episode 145 - The Collapsing Axis
Noam and Jen go over the surprisingly successful offense that anti-Assad forces have mounted in Syria over the past few days, including their retaking of Aleppo (that’s a city in Syria) and their unimpeded march toward Damascus. We discuss what this means as far as downstream effects of actions that Ukraine and Israel have taken, how Iran and Russia are in no position to help Assad, where is China going to land on all of this, the silliness of isolationism, and how the Axis of Upheaval is being rapidly upheaved. We also spend some time discussing the Harris campaign post mortems (or lack thereof) currently happening, with the excuses being put forth by campaign heavyweights as to how mistakes were made but not by them. There is also a brief discussion of Rogan’s decision to not host Zelensky when approached to do so and what the true meaning of audience capture is. Check us out Thursday nights at 7:30pm EST on Twitch, we certainly have plenty to discuss on the TV front this week.

Jen and Noam discuss the only thing that happened this week - Donald Trump is officially going back to the White House. We don’t try to unpack all of the things because nobody needs to get in all of their takes in the first week but we give initial thoughts on what the election does and does not mean, how we don’t really have enough hard data to know the answer to that, jumping to conclusions based on confirmation bias, discussing policy vs vibes and emotions, what libertarian hell is, and the value of data driven arguments. We also touch on the pogram in Amsterdam that took place over the weekend and how it ties in to fears both rational and irrational about immigration and assimilation.

Noam and Jen spend this last episode before the election discussing the intricacies of the popular anime Neon Genesis: Evangelion, how its themes refer back to the Old Testament, and the value of subjugating one's personal desires to the greater good. Nah, just kidding. They discuss the accusation leveled by Nate Silver and Nate Cohn that the 2024 general election polls are the victim of herding, which is the desire to not stand out from the crowd by publishing polling results that would be perceived as outliers to…well there are a lot of reasons they get into. They briefly discuss Trump’s last week of campaigning and what the hell it means, from dump trucks to mic stands to Liz Cheney. Stick around to the end of the pod for Noam’s truly heterodox opinion about what electoral outcome would be best for America and whether he and Jen will attend the post-election pink keffiyeh protest.
