Episode 311: New Louisiana Hayride for New Era: Meta, SpaceX, EFFECT CO. & More
SpaceX takes up position front and center nearly by default; their announcement alongside the State of Louisiana will find them breaking ground on "Starbase, LA" -- a roughly 130,000-acre tract of land along the coastline of the Bayou State. While few outside of the state have heard of Vermillion...

Episode 310: AI & the Expansion of the Surveillance State
Whether it's their skyrocketing utility bills, ruined municipal water supply, the virtually non-existent benefits to the local economy (a mere pittance of income for the towns hosting these scourges), the non-stop barrage of noise or imminent threat to workers' jobs, good news about the…

Episode 309: The Decline of SpaceXAI, Tesla, Plus collapse of Google Search Ecosystem amidst rise of the Surveillance State
Summer break's over and the ModState Podcast is back in session! Your hosts initially discuss Rhode Island and several others among the northeastern United States (Connecticut & Massachusetts, namely), the wealthiest areas of America in terms of per capita income. From there, they discuss Elon…

Episode 308: Near the Gaping Maw of Madness
Regardless of what we might think in terms of likelihood or whether they're kosher or not, things just keep getting weirder in our (allegedly) erstwhile Republic. But take heart! Or at least your hosts did; in one recent piece of good news, a relic of the Prohibition era's MO was undone when the...

Episode 307: 307: Mariel Campbell Interview II
Far from content to peruse only the safest of topics, our dear friend and enterprise collaborator, Mariel Campbell, returns to ModState's flagship podcast. An entrepreneur and burgeoning public figure clearly on the ascendancy, several things ring abundantly true here: whether it's the…

Episode 306: Episode 305: Chronic Crossroads
Your dedicated duo returns, full of hope but hearts nonetheless going out to many of our fellow Americans as they deal with an economy that is seeing broadening trends towards layoffs and weakening workforce participation altogether. While AI can be a positive tool, the seemingly haphazard…

Episode 305: Episode 304: Noem No Mo' & The Return of (Mo') Red Ink
For the longest, one of the unofficial mantras of the 2nd Trump Administration ("Trump 2.0" as the Cool Kids have dubbed it) has been "no scalps" -- meaning no handing out wins to the Mainstream Media, any Democrats in either House of the U.S. Congress or even some members of their own Republican...
-
Episode 304: Episode 303: The Devil's (Still) In The Details
There are too many gauntlets to run in too little time; Episode 303 of ModState's flagship podcast finds your hosts ("Crazy Eddie" Magic and "Sailor Jack" D) navigating lots of terrain, some trickier than others. From another dive into AI (was Cortana absorbed by the "JEDI" program at the US...
-
Episode 303: Episode 30too: Cute is What We Aim For
For as long as is reasonably possible, we'll try and keep this as light as we can. Some of the subject matter makes this a lot tougher at times than others, and while we'd rather focus on the pros and cons of AI and its macroeconomic impacts, we'd also be remiss to not review things like (former...
-
Episode 302: Episode 301: Calm Amidst the Storm(s)
Returning for Episode 301, "Crazy Eddie" Matuk & "Sailor Jack" DeViney kick the new year into high gear by going over the numbers, nuts and bolts of just how much AI is NOT revolutionizing the economy. Neither one of them are naysaying the tech, which has limitless potential, but neither is naive...
-
Episode 301: Episode 300 Pt. 1: INTERVIEW with Mariel Campbell

-
Episode 299: Episode 299: Tales from the Brightside
As ModState preps to meet and surpass a milestone it wasn't sure would come (the 300 mark) in the first place, Crazy Eddie and his counterpart (Sailor Jack) reconvene for a less structured, more relaxed look at some of the things that define America in this day and age. While both men love…

Episode 298: Episode 298: Post-Information Blues
With upwards of fifty percent of the Internet now estimated to be AI-generated slop (propagated by [you guessed it] AI "agents" [chatbots]), Edmund Matuk III (Crazy Eddie) and his co-host, (Sailor) Jack return to this developing story. New York City mayoral race leader, Zohran Kwame Mamdani, has...
-
Episode 297: Episode 297: AI, Cannabis PLUS French Disconnection Amidst Hope for Gaza
While the 5th Republic continues to struggle in the Motherland (France) with the fall of five prime ministers since June 2024, POTUS Donald Trump has inexplicably managed to force the primary parties (Hamas & the State of Israel) to the table through sheer willpower and force of personality…
more -

-
Episode 295: Episode 295: Which Way Now, St. Peter?
No, it's not a sequel to a deep track from Sir Elton's early-1970s catalogue but is a fairly accurate (if opaque) assessment of your hosts' feelings in fashioning this, Episode 295 of the flagship ModState Podcast. AI makes for a return (but of course) to the discussion but Crazy Eddie and his...
-
Episode 294: Episode 294: On the Brink
Once again, A.I. occupies the earlier portion of this discussion, along with UFO (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena per the US Government) reporting and the seismic shift within the US Navy on the matter. While pilots were previously kicked out (or at the very least ostracized), personnel are now...
-
Episode 293: Episode 293: Intro to the OOH
In a BIGLY return to form, Crazy Eddie & Sailor Jack come back to discuss whether or not A.I. is indeed taking all the jobs, Epstein (but of course), pop stars who've needlessly OD'ed, American leadership (or at times, the lack thereof), the MSM (Mainstream Media) and its lack of truthfulness, et...
-
Episode 292: Episodes 292: Stagflation, the Epstein Files, Nixon resignation
Crazy Eddie & Sailor Jack return to form to discuss: A) the possibility of a real economic treat known as stagflation (high inflation, minimal growth & high unemployment), B) the immortal filth of Jeffrey Epstein & C) the eternal shame of there being no USS Richard M. Nixon -- lots to unpack but...
-
Episode 291: Episode 291: Suffragette City
Aside from a little half-crowing about calling the development of public hiccups in the relationship between the POTUS & so-called "First Buddy", Crazy Eddie & his Navy veteran co-host reflect on the crises in SoCal & if there's a path for AOC to Pennsylvania Avenue that's not on a tour bus. Call...

Episode 289: Episode 289: Issues on the day of Easter
