Who knew that Ashton Kutcher was such a uniquely evil figure of the 21st century. Isaac didn't! So to help him learn just how rotten this corn-fed Iowan truly is, he's joined by Klonny and Darius.

Years from now, I wonder how people will misremember these campus protests. They'll tell themselves they were on the right side of history, even has they tut-tutted the students for their actions. "Well, that's not the the way that I would go about changing things." I think we like the drape our world in nuance so we can pretend that we didn't know better, or the answer wasn't clear. But it's crystal. The world is complicated, yes. This is not.

There were campus protests of Vietnam back in 1968. Steve Schafer was at the original Columbia University occupation. I've known Steve most my life. He worked with my father as a public defender. He also served in Vietnam. We talked about whether history repeats itself or just echoes at his farm out in the country.

I'm on my way home from Japan. I thought a lot about Hiroshima and OJ Simpson. Here's a preview of an upcoming episode about how history is written in sand.

Diddy, AKA P Diddy, AKA Puff Daddy, AKA Brother Love is in big trouble. There are 5 separate cases against the rap mogul. One of the allegations claims that if the victim did butt stuff with Diddy, then he could guarantee him a Grammy. It makes you wonder just how many celebrities have done sexual quid pro quos in exchange for their success. Isaac is joined by hip hop experts Nathan J. Robinson (@jesuslasupajew) and Manny Rangel who talk Diddy to him.

Finally--some bipartisan agreement in Congress. This month, our esteemed elected officials voted to "ban" the social media giant. But the ban would just force the private Chinese company that owns it to sell it to investors with ties to the Israeli government.

Isaac is joined by James Rehwald and Sam Quick to talk about the state of social media, dopamine and deplatforming.

Isaac and Herman go off the rails and talk about fear of flying, Alexei Navalny, fidget spinners, near death experiences, Jacob's Ladder and our mothers.

Isaac talks media layoffs and the death of the Vice with Paul Blest and David Roth. Private equity is sucking the life out of journalism. Most modern journalists have been laid off multiple times by different publications. We ask how these investment bankers sleep at night, how we got here and what we can do to save journalism.

Isaac tempts fate by comparing Rachel Dolezal to Jake Sully from the movie Avatar. Ja, AKA @lexaprotagonist , keeps Isaac's white boy antics in check on this very special episode where we decide if Rachel Dolezal is as bad as the media made her out to be for claiming black identity.

American paranoia is at an all time high. Not even our holiest day, the Super Bowl, is free from the fear. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are in cahoots with the Pentagon to rig the sacred game and assure Joe Biden electoral victory. It's a PSYOP! Why is this word everywhere? Is everything a psyop? Is the psyop a psyop? Isaac is joined by @dankdeleuze and BWAP (Beyond Woke and Problematic) to talk about the proliferating paranoia.

Isaac and Daniel Boguslaw discuss the turmoil at the New York Times over the Hamas sexual violence story that turns out to be wholly fabricated Israeli propaganda. Is there any hope for the fourth estate? Or is there only budget for cowardly journalists happy to do the bidding of the state in exchange for shiny statues?

Isaac gets serious and talks about God.

He's joined by Herman Wakefield, AKA @northwest_mcm_wholesale, to explain why this factory bottle of wine has momentarily conquered the internet. Are we doing free labor for corporations by sharing jokes? Or is the internet still an untamed beast that hipster doofus ad execs pretend to understand?

Speaking of advertisements, buy the merch!

Isaac has bills to pay so he's pivoting to TRUE CRIME in hopes of a burgeoning media career. To help Isaac on his rebrand, Ryan Ray jumps on the mic to discuss 5 recent mysterious murders that happened in the state of Florida.

Herman Wakefield, aka @northwest_mcm_wholesale helps Isaac look back at the last 365 days of the internet. Was it funny? Yes! Was it depressing? More than ever!

It's a safe bet that whatever Elon Musk says is true is a lie. For the better part of a decade he's been preaching the need to colonize Mars and extend human life into the universe. This is dumb. Space colonization is a hateful fantasy that will never, ever happen.

On today's episode, Isaac is joined by Max (@schizotopia.pod) and Dorian (@dankdeleuze) to talk about the merits and demerits of leaving our earth to colonize space.

The 22nd anniversary of 9/11 was the most uneventful in history. It came and went like a Jewish holiday--no one but a few true believers paid any mind.

People say they're not surprised by anything anymore. This is bad. 9/11 started and it never stopped. 9/11 is happening right now.

So why don't people care anymore? Did the memes kill 9/11? Are we really so easily bored?

To understand this, Isaac talks about the first 9/11--the 1973 military coup of Chilean president, Salvador Allende.

Keep those eyes open.

To celebrate both Rosh Hashanah and the half-century episode of Cheeseburger in Babylon, Isaac is in Tallahassee with good friend Ryan Ray to talk about the future (or lack thereof) of the great state of Florida. For those of you who are not in Florida, take heed! We are the canary in the coal mine! We are the cracked crystal ball where you can see what your own future portends.

Ryan is the head of the Leon County Democrats and believes there is hope to be had. It would be foolish to cede this beautiful place to such ugly people.

Isaac believes we should triage and amputate certain parts of the state and focus on others. Miami is the first on his list to go.

Check out Ryan's podcast, Tropical Depression, for some proper Florida insight.

Weaponized hurricanes, Burning Man Ebola, tainted gas, fake folk music--Today I talk about the proliferating culture of conspiratorial paranoia in America as a part of an ongoing series addressing the 21st century phenomenon. All conspiracies are metaphorically true, even if the details are all wrong. It's not gonna go away by proving them wrong. You can't refute a feeling.

RIP Jimmy.

No son of mine will ever play pickleball. On today's show I'm joined by Herman Wakefield, better known as @northwest_mcm_wholesale on Instagram, and David Azrael to debate whether pickleball is just some good, outdoor fun, or a symbol of the Boomer death drive.

Paul Reubens died. But he will be vindicated in death. (Funny Pee-wee Herman noise).

I'm joined by Bob Plunket, a Florida writer who covered Paul's sex scandal in the early 90s, to discuss the cruelty of the Florida police who entrapped the famous actor, the return of American homophobia and Plunket's first novel, which recently received glowing appreciation in the New Yorker and other publications.

There is a good chance that we could have the first Florida Man president in US history. Four Florida men are running for the highest office in the land in the 2024 election. Mayor Francis Suarez, Senator Rick Scott, Governor Ron DeSantis and the big dog himself, Donald J. Trump, are all vying to be our next president. With the help of Florida natives, Ryan Ray and Emily Kearns, we discuss the viability of these four men and whether we think they are hot or not.

Manny joins Isaac to debate the merits of cannabis after Ron DeSantis said on the campaign trail that he would NOT federally decriminalize cannabis if elected president. The next day he signed a bill legalizing tele-health prescriptions for medical marijuana. Curious! Then we talk about the Titanic submersible event after everybody else already said their piece.

We are taking comments on this episode, so call 941-704-5149 and leave a voicemail and tell us why weed sucks or that G-d gave us the herb to heal our rotten souls. I'll respond to them in a following episode.

Star of the recent documentary Jared From Subway: Catching A Monster and former FBI informant, Rochelle Herman, talks about her time going undercover to expose Jared Fogle. Was he just a stupid pervert? Or a perverted intelligence asset? Is calling an intelligence asset perverted redundant?

Has Ron DeSantis's presidential campaign ended before it even officially began? On today's episode, I'm joined by Ryan Ray to talk about all the ways in which DeSantis has stumbled and why passing policy is actually bad politics. I also implore liberals to stopping threatening to move to Canada when they don't get their way.

Check out Ryan's podcast, Tropical Depression, for more informed insight on Florida politics.
