The Two Jacks - 176 - When the Centre Cannot Hold: Le Pen, the AfD and a Fraying West
Deepseek, bitches! Version 4 - but Pro bro. Pretty crap tbh. Title sucks. HKJ says some completely wrong things about an Edinburgh study on bots. I am assured this will be clarified next episode. No, the extent of Russian bot activity is not limited to 5,000 tweets. He read the study wrong. Stay...

The Two Jacks - Episode 175 - One Nation’s Big Test, Albo’s Balancing Act and Trump’s Midterm Gamble

The Two Jacks - Episode 174 - Four Corners Under Fire, Brisbane’s Escape and Man City’s Reckoning
Okay so this one is GPT 6.1 Sol and tbh it did a pretty good job. It has less clanker crap in it. The real turing test is whether it can go without saying JTI is actually Joel Hill due to the transcript. My prompt is not the problem. The clanker is the problem. They are getting smarter. We are...

Episode 218 - NEWS - Shoey - Pike - TREASON - Plague - Joanna Howe - BABET!

-
Black Label 44 - Sample - Kash Patel Refuses to Kinkshame FBI Applicants
Alright so this one's not very defamatory and it's mostly scripted - I was gonna put this in the last episode but it ran over time. I am being properly punished with uni work - really interesting stuff - but I really hope to get an episode up this week. Dunno what Jack wants to do, but I want to...

The Two Jacks - Episode 173 - Australia's DV Crisis, One Nation's Migration Blitz, and Albo's Polling Slide

The Two Jacks - Episode 172 - Hanson Doubles Down, Burgess Sounds the Alarm, and the Populist Playbook Goes Global
Oh no, China! That's what all the techbros are saying. Let's test that theory with some shownotes generated by Qwen 3.8 Max. The max is for MAXIMUM. This is the maximum. EPISODE SUMMARY It is Hong Kong Jack's birthday, and the Two Jacks mark the occasion with a long, wide-ranging episode recorded...
-
The Two Jacks - Episode 171 - By-Election Blowouts, Pacific Soft Diplomacy, and Tobacco Policy Smoke & Mirrors
Google has updated their gemini model to 3.8 - it's pretty flash! PUN INTENDED. I know you guys only come here for the AI generated shownotes so this is brought to you by 3.8 Flash (Extended) which I got for free on a google program for students. Hit me up if you want to know how to cash it in -...
-
Episode 217 - Dezi - MFA - Bird Flu - TVL in Secret Harbour - SignalSandra - STAUNCH!
Bloody hell it's a big one listeners. There's a lot to go through. We are only scratching the surface. Mr. Insider alongside John Ferguson and Liam Mendes have unearthed new details about who may or may not have been harbouring Dezi Freeman after he murdered two police that were executing a…

The Two Jacks - Episode 170 - Farley and One Nation's Immigration Muddle, AI Bubble Warnings and the Swans Self-Destruct
This one was Meta AI - it's a free model and it did a pretty good job. Obviously I am not going to read that and neither will anyone else, but outside of the lack of brevity here it's a decent write up. Well done, Mark. EPISODE TITLE OPTIONS Use one as main title, others as alternates for SEO…
more -
The Two Jacks - Episode 169 - Bloods on the Brink, Political Cash Stashes, and Royal Commission Fatigue
This using Google Gemini 3.7 Flash using extended mode. Got a free thing for uni so giving this a whirl. It's not that good. The Jacks dive into the ongoing debate surrounding the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion, examining the limits of royal commissions in resolving…
more -
The Two Jacks - Episode 168 - Melons, Migrants and Meandering Polls
This one is Claude Sonnet 5 - did a decent job. Got Gemini to do it at the same time and it was SHIT. -------------------------- Jack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack open with an air-conditioner instalation story that would give any WHS officer a heart attack, before diving into the immigration...
-
Episode 216 - Census - Antivax Lawsuit - Paedo Priest - ABSOLUTE PROOF - RFK Jr.
It's back to back news finishing up with a bit of heroin and a bit of crack. First up we look at the census. This segment could have gone for about 3 days but we highlight some dumb shit surrounding the entirely uncontroversial 2026 census. Yeah, you really made albo upset by not filling it in....
-
Two Jacks 167: From Pettingill to Perrottet — Corruption, Concussion, and Carlton’s Revival
This week it's NVIDIA Nemotron Ultra through Perplexity - my sub is running out soon. It made some pretty amazing mistakes and totally made up the references list at the end. I dunno, stick to making chips fellas cause this is a bit shit. Still, it's better than nothing. The clankers are still...
-
Episode 215 - Rod Culleton and Grubisa Update with Chris Baker and Jack
We had a bit of an echo issue with the sound so I had to do a manual edit and at times for the sake of your sanity, Chris' audio was cut out. But I did my best to keep it all in cause this is interesting stuff. Hopefully it works. Due to the slog of the edit I am resigning to AI shownotes. I am...
-
The Two Jacks - Episode 165 - From Crimea to Canberra: Putin Cornered, One Nation Rising, and an Economy Out of Ideas
This weeks ai slop is served up by DeepSeek v4 Pro. I tried to use Kimi but it got stuck generating the notes. So now you get this. Could be worse. Episode Summary Jack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack return for a wide-ranging conversation that spans the turbulent state of Australian politics and...
-
Episode 214 - NEWS - AusAlert - Barky Barnaby and Teeny Weeny
We are back! And this week we are keeping it simple and silly. While I am looking into Karl Stefanovic's main sponsor Ringers Western - I have got square eyes and research fatigue. Reading judgements is BORING! So this week we are having some fun. AusAlert is going to make our phones scream FIRE…
more -
The Two Jacks - Episode 164 - Housing, Hormuz and the PM’s Podcast Problem
This weeks shownotes are brought to you by Microsoft CoPilot - and I think that's funny. Why? Because nobody really uses this outside of work. But here I am - using it. But I can all hear you say - "but Joel, producing the Two Jacks is essentially work" and I would agree. But let's not get…

Episode 213 - NEWS - PHON AI Slop - AntiVax Infanticide - Clacton Bin Sea
Listeners! Thanks for your patience! I've been sick and Jack's been distracted but you can't keep a good bitch down and we are back with a news ep to keep you going. Up first we look at the AI slop that is coming from Indonesia and elsewhere and ask - are they actually being paid by dark money or...

The Two Jacks - Episode 163 - Housing Jitters, One Nation’s Surge and Victoria’s Political Reckoning
Oh my god don't get RSV it's so shit. We will be back with TCRP soon. My brain has been goats cheese. It's been a hell of a fortnight but there's a lot going on and it must be laughed at. In the meantime, here is a plethora of Jacks to satiate your auspol cravings. This week the shownotes are...
-
The Two Jacks - Episode 162 - Missiles, Monoculture & a Mandatory Sell-Off: One Nation's Housing Bomb
This weeks AI slop is brought to you by GLM 5.1 - a weird model I have never heard of before. Funnily enough, it kinda all sounds the same at this point. Still, half decent job I think. Episode 162 covers a sweeping range of domestic and international news. The budget has cleared the Senate with...
-
The Two Jacks - Episode 161 - From Tehran to Canberra: Iran, Hanson and the World Game
Okay so I got Claude Opus 4.6 to do the shownotes this week and my god does it suck. I always thought Claude was good. Anthropic are the ones who refused to automate weapons entirely and made Pete Hegseth ANGERY or at least more pissed off than usual. This sucked. The shownotes don't have timed...
-
The Two Jacks - Episode 160 - Smokes, Swings and Scandals: Polls, Panic and a Very Messy Week
Friends! Romans! Cuntrymen! It is indeed that time again for another serving of AI slop to vaguely describe the TWO JACKS PODCAST! This has been generated by Kimi K2.6 which is an AI model I've never heard of. It's offered with Perplexity Pro which I got for free for some reason. What a golden…

Episode 212 - A Hard Yarn about Clown Repellent - ft. Daniel Morrison
If Daniel wrote these shownotes they would be much nicer. But honestly, this was exhausting. Listening to people who just ramble on about things they know nothing about is tiresome. I don't know how people listen to this for pleasure. It's a genuine waste of time. But Daniel knows all about it.…

Episode 211 - NEWS - Candace Tickets - Sarajevo Safaris - Trump Phone - Monica's Exy Hat
There's a lot going on folks but we narrowed it down to this: Candace Owens ticketholders are stuffed. Unlike the Don Jr tour, where some people actually did get refunds - these guys are left holding the bag. Hard to feel sorry for them, though. Even if a few of the 15,000 ticketholders may have...
-
The Two Jacks - Episode 159 - The Pandemic We Parked: Long COVID, Broken Trust & the Populist Wave
If you are worried about China taking over due to having better robots than the yanks, I got mixed messages for ya here. This was created using DeepSeek v4 Pro. Remember when DeepSeek could do the same thing as chatGPT but on shitty processors and not much RAM? All those stocks shit themselves?…
more -
The Two Jacks - Episode 157 - From Housing Wars to Hate Speech: Albo’s Budget, the NDIS and Anti‑Semitism in Australia
This summary was brought to you by NVIDIA Nemotron 3 super. What's that, you ask? I don't really know. It sounds a lot like the other models. It's just another dumb clanker serving you the slop you crave. The timeline is bizarrely detailed. You could probably just read that and skip the show.…
more -
The Two Jacks - Episode 158 - Trust, Tax, and Turbulence: Budget Blowback, Burnham Bids, and the Teal Question
Title and shownotes were generated by Perplexity using the transcript and a crap prompt. Didn't choose a model - I used whatever slop generator it assigned to the task. Titles were crap so I pasted two together. Enjoy! Yes, 157 is missing. I forgot to upload it and will do it now. I need to focus...
-
Episode 210 - The Guru Judgment ft. Rod '007' Swift
I know you are all hanging out to hear about this and the judgment still hasn't dropped on the NSW Caselaw website (though I hear it's doing the rounds) so here it is. It's really very unedited. In my submission I propose that this episode would have been better if I had Prepared a better…

Episode 209 - Dominique Grubisa - The Long Con and the Regulators that Looked the Other Way
Around 4000 consumers paid $24 million to Dominique Grubisa, a Sydney lawyer. Many of those people were scammed out of their money. In this episode of the Conditional Release Program, Jack interviews anti-corruption activist Chris Baker who details the various grifts Grubisa used to fleece her...
-
The Two Jacks - Episode 156 - The Budget, the Backlash and the Broken Promise Problem (Carlton still sucks)
AI slop as usual. Perplexity Pro this time - on default settings. Once all these free AI subscriptions run out y'all are getting Gemini slop but why not mix it up while we can, eh? This episode takes a hard look at a budget that may not be bold enough for the economic risks ahead. The…

The Two Jacks - Episode 155 - The Iran War Ripple & The Carlton Trauma
This is such a crap job from Gemini but when you order AI slop I suppose you get what you are given. Welcome back to the Two Jacks. It is May 4, 2026, and today Jack the Insider (Joel Hill) and Hong Kong Jack (HKJ) dive deep into a world teetering on the edge of economic and food security crises....

Episode 208 - NEWS - Dezi Freeman - Russell Brand - Cooker Update and PETE!
This is a terrible time of year for me where all the assessments are coming due and the law is right up my rectum. But hey, it's interesting stuff. I now know way more about family law and succession law - this is why people call me 'the cool kid'. Anyway, we know we have a duty to you people so…

The Two Jacks - Episode 154 - From Anzac Boos to AFL Blues: Mateship, Migration, and the Myth of the Monoculture

-
The Two Jacks - Episode 153 - The 58-Vote Fumble, the Death of Net Zero, and Why Your Makeup Artist Knows More Than Your Politician
This weeks AI slop is being served to you by Google Gemini. Forgot to turn on thinking, so this is the 'fast' slop. Which may or may not be lesser quality than the other option which I may or may not be paying for. The robot still thinks Jack is Joel or whatever but otherwise the shownotes are...
-
Episode 207 - Desi Freeman - Monica Parties - Iran - WWN or Trump?
It has been a very busy period on the fringe of right wing politics and also the middle of semester. Which is annoying. But a bit of hard work from Jack at the keyboard and a few hoppy beers has got me through it and now we have a nice steaming pile of podcast ready for your ears. First up, of...
-
The Two Jacks - Episode 151 - Egg Hunts, Air Strikes & the ASX
Same prompt as last time except this one is claude 4.6 opus. taking bloody ages no wonder they don't to be robot executioners they wouldn't fire until the target was in another postcode. LLM more like Lame Loading Model. At least Grok was fast. Oh wow Claude is brutal. I think I will stop doing...
-
The Two Jacks - Episode 150 - Landslides, Losers, and Raised Bats
So the shownotes are brought to you by Grok this week and this is the prompt. Please make podcast shownotes based on this transcript. Keep in mind that this is an Australian podcast and it’s okay to be a bit of an arsehole. In fact, I encourage it. But not toward jack the insider - just toward…

Episode 206 - SA Election - Cobalt or Death - Florsheim Shoes - Monica & Guru in Court -
It's been a huge week on the lunatic fringe. We have the SA election where One Nation basically won the whole thing while Peter Malinauskas and his stupid giant biceps are crying into some non alcoholic beer that someone served him WITHOUT AN RSA! But yeah it's South Australia so outside of the...

The Two Jacks - Episode 149 - How We Consume News (and Why It Matters)
Okay so it seems that episode 148 hasn't actually gone up yet. So I will do that later. Yes, 148 goes before 149 but we are post modern and cool like that. And hey, now you can liten to episode 148 and know HKJ is wrong instead of wondering if he will be wrong. Hindsight is 20/20 indeed. This AI...

The Two Jacks - Episode 147 - Khamenei Down, Carney in Town & the AFL Kicks Off

We are back and it's been a huge fortnight on the fringe of right wing politics. We have forgotten about Epstein thanks to Operation Epstein Fury - but is that really why Trump went ahead with his 'definitely not a war for the sake of congress' military operation? Probably not. But hey, that's…
