  1. 15

    Episode 1175: HIlton Horror, Labor Loss and Iranian Invaders

    Markku and Grover AI team up for this hard-hitting episode. We discuss a night at the Hilton Hotel, Trump's ballroom blues, Iranian hackers, MAGA ladies lose one of their own (Labor Secretary), and the president's plans for a teeny weeny UFC stadium. (So cute.) Rev. Hank calls in after an LSD religious experience. Doggle Trump destroys John Quincy Adams.  We're on Substack! https://substack.com/@deepstatesubtribune  

  2. 14

    Episode 1174: Trump Jesus, Pope Problems and Hegseth’s God Squad

    Rev. Hank discusses his new Church of Trump Jesus, Inc. Markku fears Pope Leo might get Tupac-ed. The boys debate Pete Hegseth’s Big Christian Crusade in Iran. President Doggle Trump savages James Monroe.

  3. 13

    Episode 1173: Dire Straits (of Hormuz), Stolen KitKats and an AI Cohost

    We make history (probably) when the Deep State’s Grover AI becomes the first AI to cohost a podcast. Doggle Trump is upset with Iran. Hank is undercover on an island that is not Cuba and Markku is in Italy, no where near the Great KitKat Heist of 2026. Doggle savages James Madison. Hank and Markku discuss James Talarico and Pastor Brooks Potteiger. 

  4. 12

    Emergency Episode 001: Waffle House, Teleportation and FEMA

    Markku tries to pivot to hard news to discuss the next head of FEMA, who said he was one teleported to a Waffle House against his will. This is the moment this podcast was made for. Rev. Hank makes a cameo appearance.

  5. 11

    Episode 1172: Iranian Rubble, Supreme Court Surprises, and Boatspitals

    Hank and Markku discuss peacefully obliterating Iran, the Supreme Court's most shocking decision, Boatspitals (Hospital Boats), UFO files and more Iran. MAGA Hank drinks a smoothie that turns him liberal. Doggle Trump ranks loser President Thomas Jefferson. Grover AI pines for his ex-girlfriend Patty AI, who is working a minimum wage job at Burger King. 

  6. 10

    Bonus: The "Melania" Review No Federal Officials Forced Us to Do

    Markku and Hank happily volunteer to talk up the movie taking the world by storm: Melania. Part documentary, part musical, all action. The Deep State Deep Thoughts boys could not believe their eyes. It was everything they could hope for, and more. Destined to become a cult classic. Please don't fire Markku. I don't know Russian, but Hank might, based on his late night phone calls that I can't understand. So if it comes down to Markku or Comrade Hank... 

  7. 9

    Episode 1171: Curling Commentary, MAGA Brain Worms and a Spicy Plan to Invade Cuba

    Markku gets a MAGA brain worm implanted and the episode turns into a sports podcast. Hank and Markku talk curling, the Super Bowl and famous bobled teams. They also come up with a sexy plan to invade Cuba. Doggle Trump ranks John Adams and Grover AI is mad at Matthew Broderick.

  8. 8

    Episode 1170: Boudoir Diplomacy, Greenlandic Governance and Grok AI After Dark

    Hank and Markku clash over Venezuelan bedroom diplomacy, Greenlandic politics, and Norwegian peace prizes. But the boys do come together listening to MAGA-rotic fan fiction. And Doggle Trump begins ranking the U.S. Presidents in honor of America’s 250th Birthday festivities. (Hank said one of these sentences sounds a little gay, but ranking presidents is super manly. Not sure what he’s all hot and bothered about.)

  9. 7

    Episode 1169: The Trump Peace Institute, MAGA’s Epstein Math and the Trump-16 Fighter Jet

    Markku and Hank crash land this 2025 Holiday Episode straight into 2026. It took us three tries to actually record this one. We talk about the new Trump Peace Institute, the intense MAGA debate over how young is too young and plans for America’s next generation fighter jet, the Trump-16 Ass Kicker. Our new French translator at the end of the episode uses some explicit language, so maybe don't let the kiddies listen to the closing interview. Oh, Yanni and banana bread also get a nod in this one. Happy New Year!

  10. 6

    Episode 1168: Geneva’s Love for Green Bay, Congressional Freedom Day and a Double Cloud Discussion

    Markku visits Geneva to get the latest on the Ukraine peace talks, Hank discusses Peace Points, a dog-man hybrid reads a Presidential Proclamation and an exclusive interview with a woman who left a big impression on the Deep State.

  11. 5

    Episode 1167: Caught Napping, Non-Existent Fake Epstein Files and A New Monument Rises

    Hank and Markku wade into the churning waters of TrumpWorld to discuss the King's ill-timed nap; the fake, non-existent Epstein files; and the "Happy 250th Birthday America Monument" that will definitely get finished in time for the distant year of 2026. And Hank hears a Melania moo.  Vote early and often for your favorite design for the Arc De Trump monument on our Instagram and TikTok accounts: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/deepstatedeepishthoughts?igsh=MTExa251cjM3ODFhbQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr   TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@deepstatedt_pod?_r=1&_t=ZT-91aO6DbGiFC

  12. 4

    Episode 1166: No King's Day, East Wing Rubble and a Beef About Beef

    Markku and Hank discuss No King's Day, the future of Monarchy in America, The Battle of Yorktown, GOP royalty, Trump's deep hunger for Argentine meat, and the final installment of our interview with a Valhalla immigration official. And Hank demolishes the East Wing of our studio.

  13. 3

    Episode 1165: Peace, War, and The Trump Dollar Coin

    Markku and Hank discuss a Nobel Peace Prize fiasco, debate whether Trump's head is too fat for US Currency and offer Part 2 of our exclusive interview with a Valhalla immigration official. And Markku loses his soul. 

  14. 2

    Episode 1164: Sidewalk Chalk Terror, Sandwiches, and Valhalla

    Markku and Hank are back in the United States. In this episode, we examine Virginia's sidewalk chalk epidemic, debate whether America needs stricter sandwich control, and conduct an exclusive interview with a government official in Valhalla, famed afterlife location for hallowed Viking warriors.
