Alex and Adrian's Unattended Baggage

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.

Episode #288: Ya gotta break a few eggs to crash the economy

Israel wants America to bomb Iran and Trump dutifully follows orders, this show is living and (mostly) dying in 7/4 time, Trump uses math or something to impose tariffs on penguins but not Russians, markets respond like it’s 1929, Congress responds like it’s 1933, MAGA responds like Fox News tells them to, and we still need a 2nd mortgage to buy a dozen eggs.

Episode #287: It all makes more sense when you’re slightly drunk

Adrian and Alex debate whether their son Mikey should join the Marine Corps, the most powerful people in the world use free apps on their hacked smartphones to bomb brown people, Congress debates whether to abolish one of the three branches of government, your DNA will go to the highest bidder, Big Pharma blames weed for COVID vaccine side effects, and America embraces concentration camps.

Episode #286: They [REDACTED] it

Alex makes the mistake of bringing up AI and Adrian makes him regret it, now Trump wants England to annex the US, Elon might be a Chinese asset, work is underway to ensure the Epstein files are completely redacted, the Alien Enemies aren’t who you think, one ceasefire is shabar and the other is mertvyy, and are Social Security checks going bye-bye?
