    The YouTube Blood Magic Cult (Premium E286) Sample

    Some believe that they can make a better world just by posting enough online. But the YouTube-based Blood Over Intent community raises the stakes by literally bleeding for their beliefs. Born from the trauma of Mark Braun, a Florida plumber turned self-styled Satan incarnate, Blood Over Intent promises followers a ticket to paradise, provided they upload a DIY blood ritual to the web. The kicker? Members claim that smearing a drop of their blood on hastily scrawled intentions will unlock a mythical Arctic portal to Eden underneath the flat earth.

    4chan Down: Revenge Of The Soyjaks (E320)

    Soyjaks! 4chan! Breeding kink! Katy Perry! All that and a surprise update about skateboarder and television personality Bam Margera in this week's episode. First up, Travis will tackle the recent devastating hack of 4chan, the infamous image board that gave us Pepe memes, QAnon family members, and maybe even a president. What is this “Soyjak Party” and why do they hate 4chan so much? Then Julian will cover the recent Elon Musk breeding kink fanfic — if the Wall Street Journal were a “fan” and documented reporting were a “fic.” Finally Jake will report on his investigation on worrying claims from conspiracists that the recent influencer-friendly flight of a Blue Origin rocket was entirely faked. We’ll also try to figure out which graphic designer is responsible for sneaking images of Baphomet into every spaceflight patch.

    AI Slopaganda feat. Ryan Broderick (E319)

    Artificial Intelligence carries a host of risks: it could reshape jobs and the economy, alter educational practices, help powerful figures dodge accountability through AI-assisted decision-making, and even influence our personal relationships and mental well-being. But here’s the biggest question: how will AI affect the content filling up your social media feeds? In today’s episode, journalist Ryan Broderick joins us to discuss the influx of “AI slop” — which increasingly jostles for space alongside human-created content. We’ll explore the “Shrimp Jesus” Facebook phenomenon, a viral (yet entirely fabricated) story about Elon Musk saving a young girl with Neuralink, and the 1995 sci-fi horror film Screamers.

    These People Are Stupid Liars Who Think You’re Stupid Too (E317)

    It is difficult to comprehend how much these people screw up, lie, lie about their screw ups, and screw up lying. But we’re going to try anyway. Travis, Jake, and Liv break down the most recent round of malice and incompetence from the Trump administration and the deceit, deflections, and conspiracy theories being deployed in defense of this bad behavior. Firstly we cover “Signalgate,” the controversy in which a National Security Advisor accidentally added a journalist to their Signal chat about military operations. Secondly we discuss the ongoing saga of Elon Musk’s DOGE and how their efforts are clearly making the government less efficient. And thirdly we cover the Trump administration’s brutal deportation policy, which has targeted people for arbitrary reasons and for their expression of rather benign opinions. We then debunk the conspiracy theory that there is evidence of American student groups collaborating with Hamas.
