Politically Charged Mischief

Have you ever had a bad haircut experience? Then this episode is for you. We also talk some geopolitics stuff

We reflect on historical events like the Vietnam War and the Battle of Mogadishu, while also breaking down Poland's military readiness in today's tense geopolitical landscape. The discussion unpacks the messy realities of war, media narratives, and the human stories behind them. From there, we pivot to the aftermath of Mogadishu, the evolution of military aviation, and the role of microwave technology in modern warfare. We also touch on cultural myths, how movie trailers shape expectations, Austin's growing comedy scene, and the wild world of reality TV and celebrity culture. Packed with humor, insights, and a few personal stories, this episode is a lively mix for anyone curious about these topics.

Anyone else getting ticked with the Chinese trying to smuggle toxic plants in to "study" (kill our crops)? We talk about that, plus their role in the global fentanyl industry (it's high, it's very high). Also, why is everything on Amazon these days just copies of copies of the same junk? Also, fun one for the week, we about the twitter argument between a young lad and the UK Royal Navy pilot who depth charged the lad's father in his submarine. Hilarious. A bit on the Kerch Bridge attack but that seems to have been a bit of a dud. But, the royal wedding we discuss might be a hit. Recommendations for the week: ZChum on Youtube, Dept Q on Netflix, and the Accountant 2 on Amazon. More content coming soon

Come for the Hispanic house parties, stay for the Ukraine drone strikes. Quite the episode with Mav and Hitman, some fun stuff (like watching a good chunk of Russia's bomber fleet burn to the ground) and some scary stuff (like realizing this could happen to us too). What are your thoughts on colonizing mars? Although, after today's spaz attack, who knows what Elon does next.

Life happens, kinda dropped the ball on getting this one published in a timely manner. Don't worry, one more in the pipeline and it's not even the weekend. Go watch the Bin Laden doc, it was ok.

Topper joins the boys for a fun romp. We'll chat a bit of fallout from the whole India-Pakistan thing, plus US military bros getting rolled by fedbois at illegal night clubs.

Deep dive episode alert: Hitman looks into the El Salvadoran civil war. War crimes, massacres, assassinations, forced deportations, counter-insurgency warfare. Pretty interesting stuff, wasn't that long ago. So, we should kinda give them props that they're even a little stable these days. Oh yeah, the US kinda supported the government during the war. You have been awarded one yike. Book recommendation: The Battle of the Crater by Newt Gingrich and William Forstchen

Pope's dead, our boys aren't Catholic and really don't understand a lot of this. Conclave was excellent though. We'll hit some talk about Yemen, air defenses, and feeding Reapers to the Houthis. Pretty sure India-Pakistan is going to more or less fizzle, but let's be honest, this podcast is rapidly turning into the Mad Money/Jim Cramer of the geopolitics world. Give it a listen, leave us a review, shoot us a DM. Or not...up to you. Ukraine, Russia, Iran, Yemen, Israel, India, Pakistan, North Korea, Japan, treaties, geopolitics, humor

No, you're thinking of Ocean's Eleven. Mav is bouncing back from seratonin depletion. Hitman's hitting callbacks, mogging happy idiots on social media. China's helping the Houthis shoot at boats. N O T C O O L. Also hit some MS-13 talk. Full disclosure, might be wrong about some of this, just doing what we can with the info available. And no, the Somalians are not the tallest people in the world.

Folks, gonna be honest with you. This one was all over the map. Maverick was in his feels, he's not sure winter will ever end, and there's not much going on in the world that's fun to talk about. We did some talk on weird weapons in history. Triggered again by Minecraft movie reactions. Stuff like that. Oh and Hitman was in a car accident. Let us know from a listener perspective how this went. Statements are personal and do not reflect opinion of US govt

Some potentially controversial takes on planes this ep. You also might have to do some googling to see what planes we're talking about, it gets obscure at times. And we really got into the plane to car comparisons, someone hit up Top Gear for us. Plus we get Hitman going down the WWI tanks rabbit hole (send to a Frenchperson in your life). Oh and it all kicks off with some social commentary, Topgolf, Minecraft movie reactions, fights on cruise ships and shopping malls. Recs for the ep: Death of a Unicorn, Behind Enemy Lines, Call of Duty World at War, the Outpost, The Dead Don't Die. Opinions and commentary are ours alone, not representative of US Government.

Jump into the world of obscure sports, weird gun mods, and revisionist history. In this ep, Maverick and Hitman obviously have to weigh in on the big Signal group chat leak, plus the buildup of B2 bombers in Diego Garcia. Big look at Operation Paperclip and Nazi (pretty sure on this one) rocket scientists. Get smart on your history (not really). What are your thoughts on the Lusitania? Legal target or war crime (false flag)? Wrapping it up, the Chinese Communist Party just smoked a spy for leaking aircraft tech to [insert foreign power—probably us, right?]. Espionage is alive and well in 2025.Movie recommendations: The Gorge, Prisoners, Iron Giant, Brave Little Toaster, Everest All content is personal opinions only, not reflective of the US government

Skip the first 30 min if you dont want some rough travel stories. Hitman gets into some elaborate detail about food poisoning on an international flight, Maverick shares some rough details as well. Past that, the boys get into details about the F-47 (new Boeing 6th gen jet). A great jet, one of the best jets, it flew and many people said it was one of the best jets. Also, damn, Syria sucks rn. We kinda got that one wrong, chat. None of this episode reflects the position of the US government. We just say what we say.

Cool episode chopping it up with Warlizard (u/Warlizard, not of Warlizard Gaming Forums) on all manner of topics from AI models to the future of Reddit. Toss in a healthy amount of speculation on the Havana Syndrome and the origins of Lyme disease (and our own experiences with Lyme and ticks). We also get into some of Warlizard's own stories about his time in the US Army in West Germany as a linguist, in addition to commercial companies trying to make it to the moon. Finally, just tons of great shows, movies, and books talked about in this ep. Hope you enjoy!Recommendations: -Masters of the Air-Generation Kill-Red Rooms-Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale-Andor-The Ritual-The Green Room-Severance-Dungeon Crawler CarlAlso check out Abingdon Watches at https://abingdonco.com/, highly recommended by Warlizard

Well folks, the boys made it to Season 3. Warm up with some stories about cops, drug dealers, and drunk driving (not us, promise). First real topic of discussion is US Army soldiers indicted for selling classified info to China (for $15k? really?). Toss in some problems with military recruiting, immigrants, and security vetting, and you've got a whole heap of nuance. If that wasn't gray enough for you, weigh in on Ukraine/Russia peace negotiations. We don't have a good answer, but that doesn't stop us from trying.

Well folks, we did it. Made it through Season 2, onwards and upwards, growth-oriented sigma grindset. In this ep, the boys talk illegal Chinese fishing and seafood stuff. Going further into the matrix, we get a tangent on Cryptids and Bigfoot vids, Alone Australia (season 1), and the Boeing KC-46. Oh and the legacy stealth jet, the mighty F-117 (what're they up to???) Just for reference, two astronauts are still stuck on the ISS after their Boeing spaceship malfunctioned. Then things take a turn for the worst right around the 60min point and you're gonna get some real weird content, personal stories, injuries, and cliff jumping.

Grab a hefeweizen and hang with the boys for a dive into the Franco-Prussian War. Otto von Bismark was an absolute unit. Plus, boat accidents (oops I crashed my nuclear-powered aircraft carrier) and military recruiting ads over the years. Show recommendations: Foundation and SiloBook recommendations: Nuclear War: A Scenario, CCP Espionage: An Intelligence Primer

We're #blessed to have Mad Hatter back for another episode of fun gloating about the Eagles win vs the Chiefs. We rehash some of the Zizian murder cult stuff from last week bc, let's be honest, that was trash. Hopefully a bit cleaner round two. Other than that, man, you're just gonna have to lock in to find out. Some Gaza discussion, a bit of updates on Ukraine. Doug Stanhope? Maybe. Uncle Grimmacy's ties to the IRA? Hoo boy that's a tough look. Happy Valentines Day. Go birds

In this ep we take a look at the Zizian murder cult, which was very confusing for us and probably for you too. On normal topics, how about the A-10? Outdated or does it still have some life left?RFK, we saw you sneak that zyn. Wanna pop on with the boys?Show recommendation for the week: American Primeval. Watch it, it's sick.

Got any grapes? Big Halo ep, the boys were triggered for reasons unknown. Some minor electric shock therapy, skip if you're triggered. Never bring a knife to a Chad fight. Also skip if you're a Chiefs fan. TikTok ban? who's cool with it? CCP? get trashed nerds

Who's here for the 51st state? Which one comes first: Canada, Panama, or Greenland? Get me my gun, I'm gonna go down there.

"Hey Farva what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy stuff on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?" On this ep: more apologies, F/A-18 shootdowns, Chinese stealth fighters. Send us your New Years resolution, or your favorite trope from bad action movies ;-)

Not since the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special has there been a more anticipated piece of art. Hop in for a round robin of the friends, talking Christmas, memories, and traditions. Oh and, added bonus, we're back to prime numbers

Editor’s Retraction: we’re literally r*tarded. We get more takes wrong than we do right. Sooooo, lots wrong last episode, we promise we’ll stick to more facts than speculation. Anywhooo here’s our takes on the New Jersey drones.  Plus a bit of this and that on Syria falling and what’s been happening, some updates on certified crazy/hot guy Luigi Mangione, the UHC assassin.  Have you heard the story of PepsiCo the naval fleet? I thought not. It’s not the story a Coca Cola drinker would tell you. It’s a capitalist legend.  We hope you enjoy this midweek treat, hit us up for new ideas

Full disclosure-this ep was recorded before two very significant events happened: the fall of Damascus and the capture of Luigi Mangione, the UHC shooter. Set that aside and you've got some reasonably intelligent-sounding conversation. Also, we don't hate the Hawk Tuah girl, promise. Just have some concerns. Also about celebrity crushes in general. And Bitcoin, how does it work? And we don't hate Turkey, they just keep popping up. Anyone know why grocery stores have three separate sections for cheese?

Ok y'all, what's the play. Pizza Hut, Dominoes, or Papa Johns? Also, if you're about a week behind on Syrian news, we've got the breakdown for you. Never claimed to be a current events podcast so quit your b*******. Some fun side topics on Malcolm Nance and Trent Telenko (namely, stay in your lanes fellas). Lots of small topics too. Movie rec of the week: Hunt for Red October. Another ep is in the pipeline, stay the course. Damascus has fallen. Send word to Saladin, Jerusalem has arrived.

Prime numbers. Mav is low energy (full NPR host status), Hitman is recovering from the plague. And boy we cannot seem to dig out of the darkness. Dig in, pour something warm and cozy, cuz Antarctica conspiracies are on the menu. Coupled with brutal kidnappings, torture (sorry, enhanced interrogation), and assassinations. Some lighter moments can be found with military equipment naming nomenclature (looking at you, M1). But then it dives back into the depths with ICBMs (or IRBMs depending on who your mechanic is), nukes, and how to survive the apocalypse. Fun times. We hope you enjoy your hot shower after listening.

Good clean ep. A lil talk on North Korea (take a guess what those boys are up to on social media), plus what happens if we invade Mexico. Are UFOs real? Go birds

Riots, tear gas, tasers, where are we going. Some weird stuff ahead. How do you feel about Puerto Rico and tax evasion (unrelated)? Lots of chatter on North Korea, some looks at South Korea’s mighty military industrial complex, and some of Russia’s shitty attempts at weapons mods (see title). Make America LO again.  Still no retaliation from Iran…guess they’re scared wiffout the SA20s

This one's a blur. Wow. The usual topics accompanied by some light boozing. Sanity check for y'all: if we're not making sense by the end, you didn't have enough to drink along the way.

Happy Monday. Bit of a random ep, just chatting spy shit, sleeper cells, gray zone competition. Short bit about Ismail Qaani and his potential fates, TBD. If you're into it, look up schuylkill notes and Toynbee tiles and send us your best theories. Real life look at North Korea (spoiler alert, it sucks): https://www.boredpanda.com/smuggled-out-photos-north-korea-eric-lafforgue/

Battleships rule. Why did we stop building them? Hop in for a mania-fueled episode with the fellas, talking Israel (absolutely clapping Hezbollah cheeks lately), Russia (absolutely clapping their own cheeks lately), the DOD (CENSORED), and a whole bunch of other stuff. Oh and hurricanes. And hurricane conspiracies. But are they conspiracies if they're out there controlling the weather? Only you can decide. Self-fact check: Hezbollah is *technically* a political party. But let's be honest, we all know they're terrorists first.

Yes, this one is late. We know, you don't need to tell us. Due to the sensitive topics (movie reviews) discussed, we needed extra time to edit out the spicy stuff. Lucky number 13 We finally get the artist formerly known as Topper to join for a reunion episode. Delve deep with us, as the dwarves did in Moria (too deep), for a wholesome episode of talk about ICBMs prematurely busting in their solos, exploding pagers in Lebanon (we ran the numbers it checks out), phony reaper shootdowns, sick time travel movies, and fast forward to ~40min to listen to retard math on mass conversions. Finally, the big one, the one you’ve all been waiting for: real professional analysis on The Land of Bad. Want to know how jacked up this movie is? Stay with us now, we’ll get there. You might also get some theories on Ryan Routh (alleged Trump assassin), and more importantly, what has ol Diddy been up to? 

America rocks. Anyone who says otherwise is misled by the communist agenda. Very Navy-heavy episode. Starlink on a ship, captains being fired, USS Theodore Roosevelt, some light Master and Commander references. 9/11, evolution of battlefield medicine Self fact check. Germ theory was definitely not in 1900s 

You want drones? We've got drones (or sUAS for you purists). Thermite drones, helicopters shooting drones, drones shooting people, worker bee drones (ok fibbing) on that one. Basically anything drone-related that is coming out of Ukraine, Russia, or Israel rn.  Just for funnies, we should think about getting some Venezuelan gangsters on here to share their side of the story. Gotta be a better guest than Tucker interviewing that Hitler fan…
