One last Insanity Check for 2024. Kriss and Ro pop in to talk about the pyramid schemes of tech bros that have convinced the population:

That they’re smart when they’re in fact idiots
Leading us down the most stupid path possible

We were promised a Star Wars future but instead we’re getting one closer to Blade Runner. Oh joy. Tech bros have priced the average American out of technology innovations, corrupted the useful potential of AI (Kyle Reese would be so disappointed in us) and convinced everyone that if they just work harder…they too can be a billionaire.

Oh and Kriss introduces Ro to the idiocy that is Turo and people’s really bad business decisions.

30 Second TikTok Brain - Insanity Check 3:13:49

20 weeks之前3:13:49

3:13:49

There’s only one thing that would bring Kriss and the Insanity Check back from podcast retirement and that’s the absolutely insanity that is the spitefulness, dumbness and racism that would elect Trump a second time…giving him not only the popular vote but the Senate and House. All because of racism, sexism and the fact that the average American has the thought process & attention span of a 15 year old on TikTok. Ro and Brandon join Kriss as they talk about the complete stupidity of the “American People” when it comes to not understanding their own finances, how the economy works and why Trump’s initial picks for coveted cabinet positions are even worse than the first term. The one moment of Zen/happiness is The Onion completing the troll of Alex Jones and buying InfoWars in auction. This is cheaper than therapy so the Insanity Check will be coming back on a more regular frequency (TBD). No premium content. No donations. No notes.

I told you all that you would never know when I would drop another Insanity Check and well…here we are. I was able to convince DPalm to join me so you know that means it was a crazy ass week. It’s also very clear that I’m too old for this shit. We’ve come full circle. I lived through the DotCom bubble only to see idiots going down the Web3.0/Crypto/NFT grift. Fun times. Anyway, there’s plenty to chat about. So give it a listen and stay tuned cause you never know when the next episode will come. Topics NFL vs UFC…it’s a good ole fashion terribleoff Spotify was in trouble before Joe Rogan Instead of thinking smarter we need to think dumber when it comes too passing progressive laws Before anti-CRT and anti-Science there was the anti-evolution movement The NYPD is given way too much money The anti-black black middle class Great Moments in White Privilege The whitest white-on-white crime ever Do You Even Sci-Fi Bro?

The End - Insanity Check #671 1:51:20

4 years之前1:51:20

1:51:20

It’s here. The final Insanity Check (sorta). Kriss brings on two of his favorite guests, Rod & Karen from The Black Guy Who Tips for this final episode. There’s plenty to talk about since the last episode. Joe Biden won the general election and has won it like 30 more times since November 3rd. Trump has continued to lose it since then and all it has done is shown how insane and dangerous his conspiracy theories have been. Way too many people are willing to either believe his lies or play along with them for their own personal gain. But it doesn’t stop with just the nutcases on the right. The white leftist dudebros are also showing their colors as they’ve finally turned on The Squad and it’s hilarious because of how predictable it’s all been. But we can’t end the Insanity Check without some good “Great Moments in White Privilege” as well as some examples of scientists apparently not paying attention to the warning messages we get from SciFi movies. Topics: Joe Biden won the election. Then he won it again. Then again. Then again. And again White leftists turn on The Squad for…*checks notes* voting for Pelosi as House Speaker instead of letting it fall to a Republican Adolf Hitler wins Namibia election Well… it’s not technically cannibalism Great Moments in White Privilege Aunt Becky picked her own prison and then didn’t have to stay in it long US teen finds out the hard way that white privilege doesn’t carry over to the Cayman Islands Do You Even Sci-Fi Bro? Planet of the Apes: Scientists splice human genes into monkey brains …what could go wrong? Making robots from living cells …because why stop the madness with 2020?

Age of Disinformation - Insanity Check #670 1:54:25

1:54:25

We’re down to the final two (planned) episodes of the Insanity Check. For this episode I’m joined by Justin from 3FifsPodcast and we’re able to breathe a sigh of relief because Joe Biden pulled it off and beat Trump in the 2020 election. Sure, we know this isn’t going to solve everything, but not having a dictator-wannabe in office is a huge improvement. Topics: Biden & Trump got the most votes in history because this was the most accessible general election ever Joe Biden ran a helluva campaign We feel some kind of way about all the “two sides of the same coin” and “I just can’t vote for Hillary” folks that all the sudden voted for Biden *cough* Marc Lamont Hill *cough* AOC made valid points about moderate Dems Dems don’t need to “win back” white working class voters…they only need 40-42% The war against facts and truth is being lost The Trump campaign really went out like some losers…in the parking lot of a landscaping company Kimberly Guilfoyle offered lap dances to fundraisers who offered the most money Rudy Guiliani is not only an idiot but he’s leading Trump’s legal challenges and its going swimmingly Like what you hear?

Moving Dat Weight - Insanity Check #659 1:38:34

1:38:34

We're only 3 episodes away from the end of the Insanity Check. It's more real now as I type that. Add in the fact that we recorded this episode only a few days before election night 2020 and well, there's a lot of anxiety going on. So I decided that for this episode, I'd take the Insanity Check back to its roots: Covering crazy news. This week I'm joined by Aaron from the Black Astronauts Podcast and let's just say...we have some fun. First, Four Loko is back with shots. Still no caffeine but what's the worst that could happen? Then there's the used condom reseller in Vietnam and apparently monkey slave labor in Thailand. Like I said, we're getting back to the roots fo the Insanity Check. We still cover some politics because obviously there's no way to avoid it. We talk about the insane way CNBC defines "struggling" for those families making over $400k and the coo...I mean...black men supporting Trump. Topics: Four Loko is back with shots Costco takes a stand against monkey slave labor Someone was reselling used condoms in bulk and we have so many questions (and jokes) Jerry Falwell Jr is just as much a piece of shit as his dead daddy CNBC's ridiculous claim that families bringing in $400k "struggle" too Channing Crowder explains why he doesn't mind paying more taxes Like what you hear?

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check to cover this month's dose of insanity in the world. This month is a little bit different. 2020 might have finally broken Kriss. This was going to be a solo show but Ro manipula...convinced, Kriss to instead use this show to talk about the new documentary "All In: The Fight For Democracy". Of course this just made things worse (but better for you all). We spend most of this episode talking about that documentary and the fucked up history of this country being really good at violating people's (namely Black & Brown people) civil rights.
