This week Seena and Travis tackle the recent Houthi attacks on a major oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia. They talk through what exactly happened, explain why you need to know about the “Gate of Tears,” and forecast what this will mean for oil prices in the US. Did they predict this would happen? Yep. Do they gloat about it? They sure do, but delicately, of course. 🙃 They also dive into North Korea’s latest weapons test and why it signifies a middle finger to Trump, the latest in humanoid robots (they’re boxing?!), and struggle through some of JD’s big GOP convention stump speech. Doing the dirty work so you don’t have to. You’re welcome!

It’s been 25 years since 9/11, so this week Seena and Travis examine how the decisions made then reverberate today. They also cover the tragedy in Nepal and a new report that claims Netanyahu was warned about 10/7. Plus, a beefy JD Vance corner. T-Cep and FP Zaddy are back and well-rested, so buckle up!

This week, law and political science professor Corey Brettschneider joins the show to talk through some of the pivotal decisions from this year's Supreme Court docket. Will birthright citizenship withstand this administration? Is the SC not so quietly advocating for an all-powerful executive? Is Howard Nutlick set to walk away with millions in tariff vouchers? Can we sue any of these assholes? Listen to find out!

Iranian comedian and physician Hesam Torr joins Seena and Travis this week to discuss the latest updates on the war with Iran. They cover the on-again, off-again ceasefire, plus Trump's poorly thought-out strategy to pit America's capacity for hardship against the Iranian's. They also talk through Trump calling the North Koreans "respectful" and giving the green light to companies who want to cyberattack foreigners. Yes, that sentence is real.

The FP Zaddy is back! This week he and Travis discuss the role of the IRGC in this seemingly never-ending war and how, surprise surprise, the Trump administration has gotten trapped in the quicksand of a holy war they did not see coming. They talk through Trump's latest ploy in his quest to end birthright citizenship and the ongoing tragedy of the demise of TPS. Also, after a quiet week, JD is back in all his monstrous glory.

Trae Crowder joins Travis this week to again ask WTF Trump is doing in Iran. What is the status of the negotiations? Why the constant whipsaw? They also talk about why tariffs aren’t boring, the fate of Haitian immigrants now that TPS is likely over, and how exactly JD managed to say nothing in his 3 hour sit down with Joe Rogan.

This week, Ed Larson joins the show to help Travis cover Trump, Iran, JD-- the whole geopolitical scene from last week. Plenty of news, laughs, and f-bombs. Everyone's favorite combo!
