Head in the Office

HITO Media LLC

On Head in the Office, two big-time political gurus, Jeremy & Gage, dissect the weekly news and offer a leftist point of view on recent events. As society flirts with fascism, perpetuates massive inequality, and protects the most privileged, Head in the Office examines why our political systems seem to never function properly and are so terrible all the time through comedy and charming commentary. New episodes every Wednesday and Friday at noon. Early access on Patreon: www.patreon.com/headintheofficepod

  1. The Cost of War in Iran

    5D AGO

    The Cost of War in Iran

    The HITO boys give a semi-brief update on the war with Iran, particularly pertaining to the Strait of Hormuz and its openness (shout out Pete Hegseth), Israel is launching a ground invasion into Lebanon, and our Democrats still can't catch a vibe and oppose this war. Later, Will Lawrence joins the show to discuss his race for Michigan's 7th Congressional District, where the party has failed to meet the moment, and his attitude towards the war with Iran.

  2. Mines in the Strait of Hormuz & Strongly Worded Letters

    MAR 13

    Mines in the Strait of Hormuz & Strongly Worded Letters

    The HITO boys are back to talk about Lindsey Graham's insane statements on Fox News, mines in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s attacks on oil tankers and infrastructure, Oil market volatility and what it means for gas prices, and what OUR democrats are doing about it all (nothing). Senate Democrats got together to write a strongly worded letter about our bombing of an Iranian girls' school. But we have to wonder, does a strongly worded letter mean anything when centrists are considering further funding the war? 18 of OUR Democrats voted to confirm yet another Trump pick, this time for NSA director. What could go wrong!

  3. Trump and Lindsey Graham’s Christian Jihad

    MAR 11

    Trump and Lindsey Graham’s Christian Jihad

    The HITO men continue to discuss developments in the United States and Israel's war with Iran. Civilian infrastructure is now being targeted by all parties, Ayatollah Khamenei's son was selected as the new Ayatollah in a move that is functionally a double down on the Iranian side of the war, our Democrats continue to do functionally nothing, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham apparently gave Netenyahu tips on how to persuade him into striking Iran, and gas prices for us all are going up thanks to the Strait or Hormuz closure.

  4. Schrödinger's Regime Change War

    MAR 6

    Schrödinger's Regime Change War

    The HITO men continue to discuss the war with Iran: how expensive it is, how long it will last, and its human costs. Nobody seems to have their story straight on whether the very obvious regime change is a regime change or not. Marco Rubio gave us a not-so-rare peak behind the curtain when he told reporters Israel dragged us into this and Pete Hegseth is being endlessly corny. Considering the massive cost attached to this war (possibly $50 billion+), the HITO men of course take time to talk about our Democrats who may vote to fund it.  Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepod Substack: https://headintheoffice.substack.com/ HITO Merch: https://headintheoffice.com/  Get 40% off Ground News: https://ground.news/checkout/all?fpr=headintheoffice  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQ Subscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZA TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@headintheoffice?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/headintheoffice/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/headintheoffice Threads: https://www.threads.com/@headintheoffice Discord: https://discord.gg/hito  Collab inquiries: headintheofficepod@gmail.com (0:00) Senator injures protesting Marine veteran (3:50) Intro/reviews (11:45) WAR IN IRAN IS BAD (44:00) What are MY Democrats up to?

    BORED OF PEACE: The “No New Wars” President Starts a New War

    Born just in time to deploy to the Middle East! The HITO men talk about Trump’s newly launched war with Iran. They dismantle the lackluster justifications the Trump administration is proposing for why the war is a good idea and dive into the various statements from moderate Democrats that somewhat endorse Trump's horrible actions.  Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepod Substack: https://headintheoffice.substack.com/ HITO Merch: https://headintheoffice.com/  Get 40% off Ground News: https://ground.news/checkout/all?fpr=headintheoffice  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQ Subscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZA TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@headintheoffice?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/headintheoffice/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/headintheoffice Threads: https://www.threads.com/@headintheoffice Discord: https://discord.gg/hito  Collab inquiries: headintheofficepod@gmail.com (0:00) JD Vance believes nothing (5:20) Intro/reviews (11:54) War with Iran (53:40) How are Democrats responding?

    LAME: the State of the Union, the Democratic Response, and Gavin Newsom

    The HITO boys recap Trump’s disappointing, long, and excessively racist State of the Union response, relay their disappointment with the Democratic response, and touch on minor updates when it comes to war with Iran. Our Democrats are back with a vengeance this episode, Gavin Newsom is throwing trans people under the bus, Kamala Harris is threatening another run, and the entire party may just be the CIA at this point.
