29 JUN 2026 · The 2026 FIFA World Cup has been a scandal ridden nightmare so far, if you can believe that. On this episode, Adam and Ethan discuss the US border policies that made it impossible for some people to attend, the tortured existence of Team England at their Kansas City practice base, a governor in Mexico who responded to criticism about how his state prepared for the games by going into "party mode" and turning his phone off for a month, and a whole bunch of other wild controversies from this year's Copa Mundial!

15 JUN 2026 · Adam and Ethan look into the rise of a youth-led political movement that has made the lowly cockroach a key figure in the current political landscape in the country of India. What started with a joke response to remarks made by one of India's top justices has grown into a legitimate threat to the reign of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose time in office has been plagued by broken promises and rampant youth unemployment. Can founder Abhijeet Dipke turn the online attention into real world opposition to the Modi regime, or is the Cockroach Janata Party just a viral moment in history fueled by social media antics?

10 JUN 2026 · Adam and Ethan talk to guest Zach Johnston about the US military strikes on Iran and the Trump administration's evolving and highly alarming justifications for them. Is this all about oil like most people would expect, or is there something way crazier behind it all? Let's just cut to the chase ... is this really just a ploy to bring Jesus back?

8 JUN 2026 · Adam and Ethan dig into the numbers and lore behind El Salvador's historically low murder rate. Is the Bukele regime telling the truth about it all? There are whispers that the drop in violence isn't the result of tough policing alone, but also secret backroom deals between Bukele and the same gangs he claims as enemies. We also talk about the journalists who were brave enough to report on the controversy and were forced to flee the country over it.
