Jen and Noam discuss Matt Gaetz withdrawing from the Attorney General nomination at Trump’s request and what does it mean, the Ethics report and what could possibly be in it that is so bad that Gaetz gave up his political career to keep it from coming out, the exodus to Bluesky, how skeeting is working out for everyone, how to terraform Mars, and if Noam should DM Elon about radiation poisoning.

Noam and Jen try to dissect Trump’s bizarre Cabinet nominations, from the stupid to the desperate to the dangerous. We speculate on recess appointments, how everyone hates Matt Gaetz, who will actually make it through confirmation, if any Republican will actually go against Trump on his picks, and the weird hazing of RFK Jr.
At the end, we give a brief rundown of what we’re watching, and Jen makes the most ambitious crossover joke ever.

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.

Jen and Noam discuss the decision made by…well not the employees of the Washington Post to not endorse a candidate this election cycle and their disagreements on the importance of it, their agreement that Israel’s strike on Iran’s long range missile and drone manufacturing plants is very important for both the situation in the Middle East and in Ukraine, whether Trump’s chat with Rogan will be important and why, the importance of encouraging your supporters to go vote, and Noam recommends the film Strange Darling because it is important to enjoy entertainment that isn’t politics.

Noam and Jen discuss the dispatching of Yahya Sinwar to the next realm, the deification of him by Western idiots, bricks of cash, Birkin bags, and the hypocrisy of “freedom fighting” while wearing luxury cologne. They also discuss the abysmal state of election polling and why it’s like that now. Jen tries to interest Noam in discussing impromptu dance parties and Arnold Palmer’s man junk, but he is way too over the election news cycle.
We will be back to streaming this week! Hooray! Check us out Thursday nights at 7:30pm EST on Twitch.

Jen and Noam wade into Ta-Nehisi Coates’ wading into the Israeli - Palestinian conflict, Noam compares Coates to an etrog (look that up kids), the CBS struggle session, human safaris, Harry Truman, Jeffery Epstein, the ongoing back and forth at the Israel - Lebanon border, how the UN just sucks so bad, when and how Israel will attack Iran, the alleged beef between Team Biden and Team Harris, a side tangent on polling, Sabermetrics, and Love Is Blind DC.

Noam and Jen start the pod discussing the one year anniversary of the 10/7 massacre in Israel and where the various wars stand now, the rather hilarious update on Israel’s penetration of Hezbollah’s communications, the lies circulating about the aftermath of hurricane Helene, AI imagery, the misinformation economy, thoughts on the revised indictment of Trump on the 2020 election stealing scheme, and Noam constructs a perfect answer to the question of “did Trump lose the 2020 election” that no Republican can say out loud.

Jen and Noam discuss all things foreign policy - the escalation of Hezbollah leadership to the afterlife, what does it mean for Iran, the US being kept out of the loop by both Israel and Ukraine as to their big military moves, the paper tiger of “escalation”, the US being a crappy ally as of late, Zelensky visiting the US, the propriety of writing messages on artillery, and a brief discussion on politicians who did / may be taking money from foreign countries.

Noam and Jen are back with a hot, spicy, and sexy episode of Ambitious Crossover Attempt! The pair explore the scandalous tale of young, sexy star reporter Olivia Nuzzi engaging in a tawdry textual affair with RFK Jr., internet muckraker Chris Rufo’s email showing up in the Ashely Madison leak, North Carolina’s GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson’s exotic sexual preferences, and finish up with Hezbollah members getting text messages too hot to handle! Ow!
The duo also discusses the merits of internet fame, the Hawk Tuah gal, and how you have to be careful what you drink before you hawk that on that thang.
We will not be streaming this week because Noam is being a good and responsible dog dad, but we will be back next week. Check us out Thursday nights at 7:30pm EST on Twitch!

Jen and Noam discussed last week’s events the way a four-year-old eats; we mashed everything together on the plate and consumed it. From the Trump - Harris debate to Haitians not eating cats in Ohio (or anywhere else apparently), turning eating the dogs and eating the cats into a meme, another crazy person trying to assassinate Trump, and Laura Loomer looming over the Trump campaign.
We will hopefully be back to streaming this week, barring anything insane happens. Check us out on Twitch Thursday nights at 7:30 p.m. EST!

Noam and Jen discuss notable conservative podcasters / YouTubers getting busted taking Russian money, the silliness of the “I was deceived!” defense, who is getting a better ROI on their disruption spending, the Tucker / Darryl Cooper interview, the absolute silliness of the idea that the origins and motivations of the players in WWII are simply unknowable and open to interpretation, the collapse of the trust in media and established facts, the idea that you can decide to learn whatever you want to learn about, how garbage TwitX has become and what to make of that in light of the week’s revelations about Russian influence in American political discourse.
And we managed to doo all that without a digression into WWI history. I know, we’re proud too.

Jen and Noam discuss the joyful DNC, the rejection of the progressive keyboard warriors and their dumb demands, the contrast between Team Happy and whatever the hell is going on with Republicans, Barack Hussein Obama, RFK Jr. dropping out of the race (kinda) to support Trump, Disney+ canceling The Acolyte after one boring season, the limits of an expanded universe, and Noam makes Jen sad by bringing up the upcoming debates.

Noam and Jen enjoy the relative calm of the past week, where the most controversial take was Walz’s taco recipe. They (well at least Jen) enjoyed that there was an actual discussion about economic policy despite it being price controls vs tariffs, Vance is still weird not for the stuff he did in high school and college, the upcoming DNC, a Taylor Lorenz Minute!, and Natasha Frost doxxing Jews for no good reason.
We will not be having a stream this week because Thursday is someone’s special day, but we will catch you next week! In the meantime, be sure to subscribe to our Twitch channel.

Jen and Noam are exhausted, and it’s not even mid-August. We cover the Walz as VP drama, stolen valor, word coping mechanisms, The Vibes Election, when is anyone going to interview Kamala, Trump’s wild helicopter rise with a black guy, is Trump mentally slipping, the debates that both will and will not happen, weird goings-on in Trumpland,a nd other random bits of ephemera.

Noam and Jen waited for Kamala, but she (or at least her VP nominee announcement) didn’t come. No matter, there was still plenty to talk over; the assissinations of Hamas head Ismael Haniyeh and Hezbollah senior member Fuad Shukr, what it all means for what comes next in the Middle East, the massive prisoner exchange between the US / Germany and Russia, the massive messup Bloomberg News made in jumping the gun on reporting the swap, Rolex watches, and what you could buy us to show your appreciation.

Jen and Noam do not have to throw a week’s worth of notes in the fire! Hooray! The past week has still been quite eventful; Kamala (or Nancy, really) gets the thumbs up from all the major Democratic players, Joe says goodbye to the campaign trail, the Democratic veepstakes begins, J.D. Vance is confronted with his own statements, and the Normies start to realize that conservatives are weird.
At the end of the episode, we touch briefly on Hezbollah’s (yes, it was them) rocket attack on civilians in Golan Heights, a topic I’m sure we will be revisiting in the upcoming week.

Noam and Jen ONCE AGAIN have to preempt a whole week’s worth of news to discuss breaking news, this time to discuss Biden’s announcement that he is dropping out of the presidential race (but not resigning) and endorsing Kamala Harris to be the nominee. We give our initial thoughts on Biden’s bow out, where this leaves the pundit class, how this changes the view of the RNC and Trump’s speech, Biden making himself a lame duck president, who’s on first, the geopolitical angle of needing to know who’s on first, and we snuck in a little discussion about Trump’s would-be assassin and the curious incuriosity of everyone on this topic.

Jen and Noam once again have to preempt a whole week’s news due to the news of an attempted assassination of Trump. We discuss what we don’t know (and may never know) about the motive for the shooting, The Picture, the weirdness of an assassination attempt being a crime of opportunity, what Trump may or may not have learned from his near-death experience, the perils of assigning iconography too soon, how Noam thought the Pentagon had Iron Dome, the randomness of reality, and briefly on Vance being officially named as Trump’s VP pick.

Noam and Jen start with the SCOTUS presidential immunity decision (the real news of the week) and Trump already testing the boundaries of the ruling before we move to basically ripping the press to shreds for being a bunch of unserious clout-chasing hacks (except for Alex Thompson) when it comes to the topic of Biden dropping out of the presidential race, our hatred of unnamed sources, Jen’s overall hatred for the political press, and how everyone on the Resistance Left now being A/V experts.
