    Master Roshi Would NOT Approve of Flock

    🛰️ - Get Starlink internet, anywhere, today: https://starlink.com/?referral=RC-DF-... Tonight on the Average Intelligence Podcast, we’re talking about two very different stories that somehow ended up sharing the same episode. First, we pay tribute to the passing of the American dub voice actor behind Master Roshi, one of the most recognizable characters in Dragon Ball. We look back at the character, the voice performance, and why that version of Roshi became so memorable to an entire generation of fans. Then we shift gears into Flock Safety cameras — the automated license plate reader network showing up in communities across the country. What exactly do these cameras collect? How are they being used by law enforcement? And at what point does public safety start raising legitimate questions about privacy and surveillance? Somehow, Master Roshi in bright red sunglasses became the perfect mascot for the conversation. #AverageIntelligencePodcast #MasterRoshi #DragonBall #DragonBallZ #FlockSafety #FlockCameras #Privacy #Surveillance #LicensePlateReaders #PopCulture #aretemedia

    The Odyssey: An Average Intelligence Review

    🎬 - Try CapCut Pro today: https://capcutaffiliateprogram.pxf.io/7aXob5 Christopher Nolan’s *The Odyssey* is ambitious, visually stunning, and at times genuinely brilliant—but some of its creative choices are absolutely baffling. In this episode of the Average Intelligence Podcast, we break down everything the film gets right, from its massive scale and powerful performances to the moments that capture the grandeur of Homer’s epic. Then we dive into the inexplicable changes, omissions, and departures from the original story that ultimately take away from an otherwise remarkable film. Is this a great adaptation of *The Odyssey*, or simply a great movie wearing its armor? Join the discussion and let us know what you thought! ⚠️ Full spoilers ahead. #theodyssey #christophernolan #moviereview #mattdamon #odysseus #homer #history #theiliad #troy #aretemedia

    Trump Will Bite Republicans in the A** After He Leaves - The Prediction I Forgot! (Solo Special 29)

    🤖 - Use code AIP to get a special discount for Vizard: https://vizard.ai/?via=fcc8a8 Republicans were celebrating a lot of Donald Trump’s second-term moves as victories. But what happens when the White House changes hands? In this episode of The Average Intelligence Podcast, we break down several Trump 2.0 precedents, executive-power arguments, and political norms that could come back to bite Republicans in the ass when a future Democratic president decides to use the exact same playbook. We get into: * The Supreme Court’s limits on nationwide injunctions — and why Republicans may miss them the next time they’re trying to stop a Democratic executive order. * Trump’s attempt to reinterpret birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment — and what happens when somebody tries the same “issue the order and make them sue” strategy with the 2nd Amendment. * Afghanistan’s TPS termination and how broad presidential discretion on immigration can cut both ways. * The fight over presidential impoundment power and what happens if a future Democrat decides not to spend money Congress appropriated for Republican priorities. * DOGE as a governing model that could easily be copied for climate, DEI, abortion access, gun control, labor policy, or any other progressive priority. * Federal funding and grants as political leverage. * The Qatar jet controversy and the danger of creating one set of ethical standards for your guy and expecting the other party to keep following the old rules. The larger point is simple: **Trump is not expanding Trump’s power. He is expanding the power of the presidency.** And every power Republicans celebrate today eventually gets handed to someone they absolutely do not trust. Before cheering a new presidential power, ask yourself one question: **Would you still want the president to have it if the Democrat you dislike most were sitting behind the Resolute Desk?** Because sooner or later, they will be. #trump #republicans #GOP #politics #donaldtrump #executivepower #supremecourt #constitution #secondamendment #immigration #tps #doge #politicalcommentary #AverageIntelligencepodcast #aretemedia

    5 Predictions for 2026 and Beyond (Solo Special 28)

    💪 - Interested in Down the Middle or have an idea for a podcast? Let us know: https://aretemedia.org/contact ✋ - Help change elections forever: https://futureis.org/digital-democracy/ What will America look like in 2026—and where are we headed by 2030? In this episode of the Average Intelligence Podcast, Jake makes five predictions about the next several years. We examine the growing fracture between Trump and parts of the America First movement, the Fourth Turning theory and our possible transition into a new High, Hollywood’s move back toward entertainment, and why AI could create both cheap abundance and a new “handmade” economy. Could human-created music, art, writing and entertainment eventually command the same premium as Amish furniture? Will Republicans be able to hold Trump’s coalition together without Trump on the ballot? And are the chaotic 2020s actually the painful beginning of something better? Let us know which predictions you agree with—and plant your own predictions in the comments so we can revisit them later. We’re also actively looking for one or more co-hosts for the Down the Middle Podcast.

    The Most Underrated Studio Ghibli Film: Princess Mononoke

    ✨ - Check out the Part of Your Broadway World Podcast 📺 - Check out ‪the Spurr of the Moment Podcast 🖥️ - Visit our website: https://www.aretemedia.org Tonight on the Average Intelligence Podcast, we’re diving into Princess Mononoke and making the case that it may actually be the most underrated film in the entire Studio Ghibli catalog. While movies like Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro tend to dominate the conversation, Princess Mononoke stands out as one of the studio’s darkest, most ambitious, and emotionally layered films. We’ll be talking about the movie’s themes of humanity vs nature, moral ambiguity, war, industrialization, and why the film feels even more relevant today than it did in 1997. We’re also getting into the incredible animation, unforgettable characters like Ashitaka, San, and Lady Eboshi, and why this movie hits so differently as an adult. Come hang out with us for a fun, free-flowing discussion about Studio Ghibli, anime, storytelling, nostalgia, and why Princess Mononoke might secretly be Miyazaki’s masterpiece. #PrincessMononoke #studioghibli #anime #hayaomiyazaki #ghibli #animepodcast #aretemedia #japan #averageintelligencepodcast
