Some believe that they can make a better world just by posting enough online. But the YouTube-based Blood Over Intent community raises the stakes by literally bleeding for their beliefs. Born from the trauma of Mark Braun, a Florida plumber turned self-styled Satan incarnate, Blood Over Intent promises followers a ticket to paradise, provided they upload a DIY blood ritual to the web. The kicker? Members claim that smearing a dro...

Soyjaks! 4chan! Breeding kink! Katy Perry! All that and a surprise update about skateboarder and television personality Bam Margera in this week's episode. First up, Travis will tackle the recent devastating hack of 4chan, the infamous image board that gave us Pepe memes, QAnon family members, and maybe even a president. What is this “Soyjak Party” and why do they hate 4chan so much? Then Julian will cover the recent Elon Musk ...

Artificial Intelligence carries a host of risks: it could reshape jobs and the economy, alter educational practices, help powerful figures dodge accountability through AI-assisted decision-making, and even influence our personal relationships and mental well-being. But here’s the biggest question: how will AI affect the content filling up your social media feeds? In today’s episode, journalist Ryan Broderick joins us to discuss th...

This week, we’ll take a deep dive into the origins of the “AI Apocalypse” theory – the idea that artificial intelligence will one day decide that human beings have outlived their purpose. What started as humble beginnings in billionaire tech mogul circles has now trickled down and pooled in various subreddits, where people will imagine every way the AI could bring about our destruction. From nervous excitement about what’s possib...

Graham Hancock is a British journalist and author who has gained worldwide fame for his pseudo-archaeological theories. Hancock proposes that an advanced, globally connected civilization existed more than 12,000 years ago and that remnants of their knowledge survived a catastrophic event, informing later cultures around the world. His Netflix series, Ancient Apocalypse, amplifies Hancock’s claims, suggesting that mainstream archa...

Ah, the lives of the rich and famous. The clones of the lives of the rich and famous. Perhaps the rich and famous are only rich and famous because they’ve been alive for centuries honing their craft. This week, we descend into a ‘page six’ gossip podcast, and examine a handful of conspiracy theories obsessed with the idea that our favorite celebrities are not who they say they are.

It is difficult to comprehend how much these people screw up, lie, lie about their screw ups, and screw up lying. But we’re going to try anyway. Travis, Jake, and Liv break down the most recent round of malice and incompetence from the Trump administration and the deceit, deflections, and conspiracy theories being deployed in defense of this bad behavior. Firstly we cover “Signalgate,” the controversy in which a National Security...

Jake’s Takes and Liv’s Gives makes its triumphant return to the podcast. This time around, there are no bumpers in this bowling alley as Travis and Julian are nowhere to be found. Liv and Jake throw strike after strike (or gutter ball after gutter ball if you dislike the ‘take’) in this meandering episode where they discuss everything from the Sonic Movies to petty drama between Canadian pollsters. Come for the takes about the...

After a viral Tik Tok conspiracy claimed there was a “true story” behind the hit series “Squid Game,” Jake goes down the rabbit hole to try to separate fact from fiction. The Tik Tok people were very wrong, and what we discover instead is far more horrific. Julian and Brad are forced to cope as Jake tells the devastating story of “Brother’s Home”, an 80s era South Korean so-called ‘Wellness Center’ that turns out to be anything b...

Trump, members of his administration, and conservative pundits all promised the release of shocking new Epstein documents from the DOJ. Rather than fulfilling that promise, Attorney General Pam Bondi gave binders containing previously released Epstein documents to MAGA-aligned social media influencers. She then blamed the deep state for the debacle. Can the admin keep promising disclosure without ever delivering? Even some of Trump...

A burned-out SUV deep in the Canadian wilderness. A charred body nobody can identify. Billions in lost Bitcoin. A trail of fake names leading nowhere. Brad Abrahams is back with the saga of an S-tier con artist, whose latest persona may be our own Liv Agar. What if you took every kind of person we’ve covered on the QAA pod, melted them into a soup, and reconstituted them? You’d get Davis Wolfgang Hawke, a man who could’ve been any...

There are these two big landfills up in north St. Louis. One is called the West Lake Landfill, and it is packed full of radioactive waste from the Manhattan Project. There’s hosing and tarps covering these huge sections of fields. It looks like a weird golf course from overhead, or a kind of sore in the land. It deserves to look this way because this nuclear waste site is the end product of a dozen botched techniques for nuclear di...

The savior of the West is an anime-loving, missile-launching, mullet-dawning, Hawaiian shirt and cargo shorts wearing 32-year old man in flip-flops. Travis and Brad punish Liv and Julian with the story of Palmer Luckey, the once Silicon Valley wunderkind VR pioneer of the Oculus Rift. His support of Donald Trump’s first presidential run got him fired from Facebook and shunned from the performatively liberal tech industry. The irres...

It's been about a month since Donald Trump was sworn into office and they've already begun stripping the country of copper wiring, slashing a multitude of government agencies and attempting to facilitate large scale deregulation. This has led to some pretty absurd mistakes by the administration. Like when they fired a sizable chunk of the department of energy, only to attempt to scramble to rehire a group of nuclear safety workers...

“The Tsuki Project” was a once-active community of likeminded 4chan anons who longed to be transported into a better world. And they believed that by participating in this community formed around the promises and lore of someone named Tsuki, they could enter into this better world after they died. This is a community that first formed in 2017 and has since dissipated into the online ether. It’s hard to say what the Tsuki Project ...

Take a break from hearing about Elon Musk’s pernicious influence in U.S. politics to learn about Elon Musk’s pernicious influence in U.K. politics.

Specifically, we learn about political party Reform UK, and its relationship to the UK’s two most prominent far-right figures. Those figures are: Nigel Farage - Mr Brexit himself and Reform’s leader, and Tom...

It’s a movie, it’s a show, it’s an online marketplace.
