EPISODE #57: Welcome Back To The Pod! Ashley St. Clair joins us this week for the first time. Packed show! First, we jump into Elon makes “likes” private on X. Will this be good for the platform, or just bring more chaos? IVF has become a talking point online as the right constantly looks for ways to blow their lead in the election. An anon account on Twitter shows up to take down all of the Twitter influencers. His claims don’t seem to have much substance, but it showed a yearning for these people to be taken down. Nationalism is on the rise in Europe. Why is this happening? and why are we seeing the same thing happen in America? It’s pride month! We discuss the silly moments in pride and why we’ve seen an anti-pride movement.

EPISODE #56: Welcome Back To The Pod! The election is coming into focus this week as the vibe shift in tech seems to favor Trump. This has been highlighted by David Sacks' Trump Fundraiser this week in SF. Meanwhile, Biden's aging continues to spotlighted. We dive into the Polymarkets and make predictions as to what may happen in the election. We then discuss Trump's declaration that he will get rid of the Department Of Education. Which raises the question, what exactly does The Dept. Of Ed do anyway? Next up, the 2020-era grifters are continuing to be exposed. We discuss the anti-racist that is Ibram x. Kendi. Finally, we have some major white pill! SpaceX has a successful rocket launch and landing. We’re going to Mars!

EPISODE #55: Welcome back to the pod! This week we get into controversy over flags. Specifically, the ones that Justice Alito hung from his house and how Dems are using this to force Alito to recuse himself from Jan 6th hearings. Vivek purchased 8% of Buzzfeed and offers a grand vision for the company. The problem? He doesn’t understand brand at all. Pete Buttigieg face plants on live television after the discovery that we’ve only built 8 electric chargers. Sanjana breaks down her piece on the complete fail of Prop C in San Francisco and how it pushed Fintech companies out of the city. Finally, a sense of normalcy is returning?! Harvard announced this week that it will now be mission first. Tech leads the way once again..

Note: Yes, we know there's no Trump verdict reaction. The verdict was announced a few hours after we finished recording.

EPISODE #51: Time for the Pirate Wires Pod! We tried to avoid it, but this week the protests around college campuses took over the news. We dive into the craziness of students requesting humanitarian aid and the media circus. The bros made a stunning comeback protecting the flag at UNC. Congress overreacts and introduces a bill aimed to reduce anti semitism, when really it’s just another free speech violation. Smug gives us an update on the state of the Biden White House, A CEO of a publicly traded company decided to play the activist game (good luck!) And finally, Solana discusses his trip to Paris, why he enjoyed it so much, and what America could learn from that city..

EPISODE #50: We made it to episode 50! This week, Liz Wolfe is joining us to discuss the week that was. We start off with the TikTok divestiture bill that was signed into law by President Biden, and was conveniently placed into a foreign aid package for Ukraine & Israel. Next up, Ivy League colleges shut down over yay-Hamas protests. Is all anti-semitism? Or just an excuse for kids to go glamping with their friends. We transition into protests at work and woke activism. Coinbase started the trend years ago with mission driven company, and now their bet is on the right side of history. Finally, the NPR story gets even better (or worse). Katherine Maher appears to be involved with the CIA. Enjoy!
