[Black metal voice] KRRRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
It’s time for something cringe! No, it’s not wearing corpse paint. It’s far worse: Nick Fuentes, the Tate Brothers, Clavicular, Sneako, the ever insufferable Myron Gaines and a list of random orbiters infested a Miami Beach club to bang Ye’s pro-Hitler rap anthem. Jared and Mike talk about that bullshit, alongside Fuentes' alleged monster deal to hawk gold, and his new pivot to Jeffrey Epstein apologia. The hosts also talk about “Nick Sordid,” the new Andy Ngo in town and why he sounds palpably unhinged. And, finally, Mike presents to the class on the genre of black metal, with an emphasis on the Norwegian variation of it. Jared doesn’t like it but he learns something new. 
That has to be worth at least seven figures, don’t you think?

No story has defined 2026 quite like the federal invasion of Minneapolis, which grows more alarming by the day. Fears are mounting that Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy 1,500 US Army troops from Alaska, who are specialized in cold weather operations, and make a scary situation even scarier. The hosts trace the cascading fallout from an ICE officer fatally shooting Renee Good, from MAGA's disturbing social media reactions to violence targeting random American citizens. They wrap up with a fresh take on boy wonder "journalist" Nick Shirley and his "Silver Daddy" co-creator, then close by meeting with "Gringus" in an attempt to "get their dang lips on that trumpet."
Stay safe out there, everyone.

Closing Track: "Blues to Lovely" by Eli Rector (a PTI listener!)

Jared and Mike bid farewell to MAGA legend Scott Adams, who died of cancer at age 68 on January 13, 2026, with a special installment of their "Who the Hell?" biographical series.
Adams was one of the earliest breakout MAGA influencers, gaining attention for his early support of Donald Trump in 2015 and his pseudoscientific explanations of his cultural rise. The "Dilbert" comic strip creator remained true to form until the end, hawking self-help books and broadcasting his insecurities to the world.
This episode traces Adams' career arc as a successful cartoonist (to the best of their knowledge), paying special attention to his creepy comments about women, racial grievances, pseudo-intellectual ramblings, and crusade against "loserthink." Adams considered himself a great writer — "as luck would have it."
Adams wasn't stupid. He’s smarter than us!
Jared's album recommendation: Madison Cunningham, Ace, 2025

On this two-part episode, Mike and Jared explore how Grok, the AI chatbot built into Elon Musk's platform X, generates and distributes child sex abuse material and revenge porn. They're joined by Kat Tenbarge, an independent journalist who covers tech. Kat explains the history of "deepfakes" and how Musk's platform fits into a pattern of men manipulating tech to exploit women. After that, the guys speak with former MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair, who has a child with Musk. Ashley recounts how she and others have been victimized by Grok's nonconsensual generation of sexually explicit images.
