Kyle Rittenhouse: The Anatomy of a Six Hour News Cycle

We open the episode with a brief discussion on the "are conservatives weird?" discourse, then talk about the history of, and recent drama surrounding, Kyle Rittenhouse, his decision to vote for Ron Paul, then the immediate and hilarious backpedaling of that choice.


Content Warning: Politics, duh. We also recorded this while Caleb was sick, so there is an occasional sniffle. Sorry about that

Dr. Disrespect Ft. Rod Breslau aka @Slasher

We talk about the Dr. Disrespect situation with the person at the heart of the story. If you didn't know, Rod initially alluded to this story on twitter in 2020 but didn't explicitly state what he knew, causing a wave of backlash. We ask him why he couldn't go public then, what he knew, what's changed since, and what to expect going forward. It's probable that you'll learn some things from this interview that haven't been shared publicly elsewhere yet.

The Trial of Jocat

Jocat is a content creator who has gone viral multiple times, albeit not for good reasons. If you haven't seen his controversially uncontroversial content, don't worry. We spend the first half of this episode discussing it, then we bring Jocat on himself for the second to half chat about his experience being shoved into the spotlight and the consequences of being a "main character".

End Times & The Chiral Vectors Ft. Josh Boerman & Big Homie Marcos

We brought on Josh from The Worst of All Possible Worlds podcast to talk about an apocalyptic conspiracy theory that is gaining traction in the evangelical right online spaces: the red heifer sacrifices. But we also had to also bring back Marcos to examine this information through the vaguely schizophrenic lens of his new worldview: the chiral vectors. We recommend smoking weed out of a can to get aluminum poisoning for this episode. Also possibly ingesting some ayahuasca.
