Alex and Adrian's Unattended Baggage

Episode #298: Trump and the tale of many masters

Trump has to decide whether to obey Israel, Russia or his own ego, US Army commissions Palantir, Meta, and Open AI executives as Lt. Colonels and tasks them with building Skynet, the White House HR chief is a spy and no one seems to care, Dodgers defeat ICE at home, Russian asset Tucker Carlson takes on Israeli asset Sen. Ted Cruz, and we’re hoping the aliens under Antarctica thaw in time to save us.

Episode #297: The only thing better than a military parade is a good riot

We wonder what the outcome of the King vs. No Kings battle will be today, a (possibly fake) cop executes Minnesota legislators, Israel hits Iran and then is indignant when they hit back, Congress finally gets upset when one of their own gets manhandled by the feds, US Army Chief says we have soldiers on the moon, OpenAI founder Altman says AI may already be out of human control, and do we really want Ozempic schlongs?

Episode #296: You think things are weird now? Just wait…

Tampa cop harrasses Alex so he takes out his anger on an innocent handicapped man, the ugly Musk/Trump breakup is actually just the first salvo of the Techbro coup, and the next round is going to be even more interesting, Ukraine gives us a glimpse of the future of war as they take out a third of Russia bombers with covert AI drones, US votes for genocide, and nuclear war is still looking like our best option.

Episode #295: Trust us when we tell you not to trust us

FBI says they have video “proving” Epstein killed himself five years after saying the cameras were broken, Google Veo 3 masters flawless AI video generation which is totally not related to the FBI thing, Trump sets bribe amount for pardons at $1 million, Palantir seizes more control from government, and we’re all going to die but at least we won’t have jobs when we do, and as Tupac said, “Real eyes realize real lies.”

Episode #294: A Serious Talk About AI and Humanity’s Future

In a departure from our usual comedic banter, Adrian monopolizes the entire show to explain recent milestones toward Artificial General and Super Intelligence (AGI / ASI), lay out a roadmap for how it will develop over the next 18 months to 10 years, and game plan the likelihood that it will lead to the extinction or nullification of all mankind, meanwhile incredulous Alex gives a ride to a drunk guy in a ghillie suit.

Episode #293: How to protect your retirement investments during human extinction

Israel unveils final solution, India and Pakistan relieved someone finally separated them, “If we’re going to have killer robots, I’d rather they be American killer robots,” Palantir taking over more government functions, Trump doesn’t know if he’s supposed to uphold the Constitution, and the entire AI agenda is laid out in the second hour.

Episode #292: Retrocausality and why you should always swallow unidentified pills

Why middle-aged men are cunning linguists, Florida legislators pass a good bill despite their best efforts, we cover the 37 insane things the Administration said this week and wonder why we still bother, and it’s so bad we actually call Rubio the “smart one,” then we get totally frustrated and play online music trivia.

Episode #291: How we learned to stop worrying and love the bomb

Alex’s fare locates Elvis, Adrian picks the new Pope after JD Vance offs the old one (maybe), Peter Thiel gets the government credit card, AI takes over UAE legislature and US schools, Legal Barbie outlaws judges, warrants and reporters, Epstein’s whistleblower didn’t kill herself (also maybe), and why nothing this administration does actually matters.

Episode #290: Maybe the deported are the lucky ones

US citizens threatened with deportation as Congress cowers and SCOTUS is ignored, Blond Barbie’s “proof” exonerates deportee, Pentagon in chaos as four high-ranking officials fired for leaking Hegseth’s transgressions to the media, DOGE helps Russians hack NLRB, Alex says interrupting is rude, but firebombing is OK, Adrian once again questions his sanity, and are 50501 soon to be 5150’ed?

Episode #289: Betting on a coin toss? Better know physics

Alex and Adrian put politics on the back burner to do a musical competition, declassified DoD COVID documents prove we were right again, the tech bros are gonna need some pissed-off Boomers, Trump threatens DEI law firms into pro bono work for him, insider trading is the new black, and nothing says “Freedom” like a military parade for a leader’s birthday.
