Hi. Comedian Josh Gondelman joins Katy, Cody, and Jonathan to talk about the latest in the Trump/Epstein debacle, how MAGA grifters like Benny Johnson are scrambling to decide what they believe, the latest inflation numbers, the GOP defunding NPR & PBS, and Grok's new creepy "companions."

(And, as is typical, we finished recording right before The Wall Street Journal published that Trump-Epstein birthday card! We'll talk about that soon, but until then, may every day be another wonderful secret.)

It’s almost as if the majority of mentally deficient idiots who vote Republican are just kind of low IQ dumb fuck morons who prefer to hear a narrative that feeds into their already accepted fantasy world as opposed to wanting to hear actual truth and improve society. Almost.

Grifters having a tough time, huh? Oh No! Anyway.... I only have so much bandwidth for sympathy regarding people that buy in wholesale for hatred what with the burgeoning dystopia and all.

Thanks for having Josh on, y’all! I was completely unaware of this fantastic man. The special was absolutely hilarious in the most cozy way possible. Turns out my brother is a fan and was keeping him a secret from me. Followed and subscribed.

@18:05 so will it be like ReformUK but USA edition? What about the RNC? Can we convince Aunt Karen, Uncle Frank to leave their faith and watch NPR? Vote Democrat? What if it's like reverse aging and progressives need to ditch the DNC tent to welcome the Republican faithful into the DNC? Realignment wibbly wobbly it is. Future unclear. Hopefully we get downgraded to a global power and the world order is uncomfortable but cool after deciding the USA doesn't get to be king of Humanity but can still be respected. But... maybe evangelicals get their Armageddon and their repressed children get world war 3 and the plot of Fallout.

@38:25 I really hope that number is closer to 30 million than 77 million. I know this realignment will have a far-right minority party and a center-right majority party with a schism in the old church into the 2005 church and a progressive exodus from the DNC in ways I can't guess. Or something like that. Or World War 3. All I do know is that everything is 40k so AI will not cause the apocalypse in 2025... it will just be useful...

On behalf of anime fans, I apologize for that Grok Ani clip. I just... don't know where to begin with how flanderized that makes its appeal.

Cody asked why Musk would want to provide the incels a way to avoid reproducing instead of helping to 'restore birth rates' or whatever, and this is one of those things that makes me think back to the first of the recent Wolfenstein games with an alternate history. On a New Mexico street ten years after the Nazis win WW2, a Nazi is talking to two redneck Klanners, and is disgusted that they can't even speak German properly. He tells them that "the wheat will soon detach from the chaff." Usually that's helpful for reminding us how out-groups are formed, the next set of people the fascists are going to turn on once they've exterminated the current out-group, but I think it's useful here as a reminder: Musk doesn't actually like incels. For some reason he needs them to think he's cool, but he's a multi-billionaire with a clutch of heirs on a private compound from his harem. I think it's pretty simple: if you can be dissuaded from talking to women and having a baby by the existence of a Grok product, you're too weak to be one of the superior white race he wants to create. He wants rich people and movie stars to have more kids, not the losers whose wallets he wants to empty.
