Joelle Bouchard, AKA @namaste.at.home.dad, tells Isaac what drug rehab is like the state of Florida. Isaac reluctantly talks about the horrors in Gaza and Israel.

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....

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...

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. Check out David's charming substack Things I Like And Don't Like. And follow Herman for top tier posting @northwest_mcm_wholesale. Buy one of his shirts. Sound engineered by...

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. Buy Bob's book here. Sound engineering by Thomas Pryle

Schizotopia, AKA NEOYEOMAN, AKA Maxwell Cody talks artificial intelligence, rebranding and how the internet is breaking our brains. Check out Max's work @schizotopia.pod and subscribe to his forthcoming Substack at NEOYEOMAN.

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...

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? Isaac is the latest victim of media layoffs. Sound engineer: Thomas Pryle

You've likely heard about the Florida anti-immigrant bill that has undocumented migrants fleeing the state. Manny comes on the pod to talk about his experience working with immigrants and his own experience as an immigrant in the United States. Then we talk about the rise of independent conservative artists Forgiato Blow and Jimmy Levy and how art might never have been meritocratic. Sound engineered by Thomas Pryle.

Daniel Boguslaw, investigative reporter of The Intercept, joins Isaac to complain about the state of journalism. Isaac gets real sad about Florida, but takes great pleasure in Ron DeSantis' inability to catch a break.

I talk with Robert Schentrup. His sister was killed at the Parkland school shooting. We talk about the death penalty and gun violence. Sound engineer: Thomas Pryle.

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. Sound engineered by Thomas Pryle.

In light of the latest news regarding the release of military documents that reveal the CIA hid information from the FBI that could have prevented the 9/11 attacks, Dan Christensen joins the podcast to remind Isaac what serious journalism is. Dan Christensen is the founder and editor of Florida Bulldog, a non-profit, independent publication that has broke some of the most significant news regarding the September 11th attacks and the events and characters that surround it. Please do yourself...

This week we have Palestinian director Vin Arfuso on the show to talk about his new documentary, Walled Off. It's about the hotel in the West Bank with the "worst view in the world." We talk about who is really to blame for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (it's not the Jews!) and getting shadowbanned on social media (it's real, we swear!). Be a mensch and watch the doc. Sound engineer: Thomas Pryle

The gloves are off! Meatball Ron and the Teflon Don are finally at each other's throats. Is this a good thing for Florida? Or does that mean DeSantis is going to be our governor for a lot longer than we expected? We finish our countdown of the nuttiest bills in the Florida legislature. Sound engineer: Thomas Pryle

Ryan Ray comes back on the show to countdown the top ten most insane bills making their way through the Florida legislature.  Trump vs. DeSantis is basically just Terminator 2.  Big ups to sound engineer Thomas Pryle for making us sound so good. 

Nathan Robinson, editor and chief of Current Affairs, does a solid job convincing Isaac to stop trolling and embrace sincerity.  Nathan's new book, Responding to the Right, provides solid, rational points against popular right-wing talking points. But is it worth engaging with people who see the world so differently? 

Isaac makes a confession.  Chris Sanders memorial.  Furry shit-talking.  And a list of all the war criminals and dictators who retire in comfort in the great state of Florida. 

Today we have Emily Kearns and Vivian Mae on the show to talk about the anti-trans movement in Florida. Under Ron DeSantis, anti-trans legislation has moved at warp speed. How do we slow it down?  Special thanks to sound engineer, Thomas Pryle, for making us sound good. 

Hello, hello! In this episode, Chris explores the ins and outs of being a member of Planet Fitness, the recent demise of New College, and tells a story about hitchhiking in college. 

Today we talk to Donna Davis, cofounder of Black Lives Matter Tampa about a Confederate monument that might be restored after it was felled back in 2017. We also talk about the state of the Black Lives Matter and whether it's effective any more considering all shenanigans of some of the national leaders of the organization. Also, does the "left" provide anything beyond symbolic victories that can be undone with the wave of a hand?
