This week Ben and Nate blast off into space to discuss a nominee for "best new sci-fi" according to some people who might not have good taste. It's The Deep Sky! A book that wants to be about four-hundred different things. We're covering the Sci-Fi aspects of the book and setting the groundwork this week. Then next week, after scaring off all the fans, we're going to discuss the plot and the mystery aspect of the book.

Kristi Noem? Nancy Mace? Tucker Carlson? It appears increasingly likely that Donald Trump will be the GOP presidential nominee, so who will he pick as his running mate? Former Sen. Claire McCaskill and Jennifer Palmieri dive into the nightmare scenarios, the more realistic options, and who he might be considering with Bulwark publisher and GOP strategist Sarah Longwell.. 

EPISODE 193: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: CNN's betrayal of journalism, democracy and America by giving Trump editorial control over part of its primetime next Wednesday has actually gotten worse. It is intended by Trump as a precursor to a "jump start" of his relationship with the new management of CNN, and it may be intended by CNN as a precursor to a pronounced lurch to the right in primetime - maybe even an 8 PM show featuring former Tucker Carlson employee Kaitlan Collins.

Barely anybody noticed that the start time for the New Hampshire "Town Hall" next week suddenly shifted from 9 PM EDT to 8 PM EDT and if you think that's trivial, think again. 8 PM is suddenly the Wild West of cable news. There are between a million and a million-and-a-half disaffected Tucker Carlson viewers looking for a new home and the signs are all there: CNN's Chris Licht wants their new home to be CNN. The network's primetime is in disarray (no CNN show is in the Top 25; the network just lost the 'ad demo' ratings to MSNBC for the first time in four years) and there would be no hesitation to shift Anderson Cooper from 8 to some later hour.

There's more bad news. CNN Political Director David Chalian, living in terror of losing another job to Republican complaints, again underscores the network's intent to treat Trump no differently than any other candidate - as if there were true in any universe. And while there are finally blowbacks from within CNN against Licht's looming disaster, CNN Contributor and January 6 victim Michael Fanone says he wrote an Op-Ed for CNN's website comparing giving Trump this time on CNN to giving a deranged person an AR-15 - and CNN won't publish it.

B-Block (15:53) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Another News/TV News story continues to unfold. Most people seem to have gotten over the visceral shock of seeing Carlson assert "It isn't how white men fight" and understood that it's not the comment that got him fired but the prospect of Carlson being forced to read it aloud in court (and sending shock waves through the Fox Board and the cable carriers from which Murdoch is trying to get more money). But I'm still hearing two questions: Who leaked the text (and all those Carlson outtake videos) and Why? The Who is obvious: it's Fox. The Why should be just as clear: to dirty Carlson up. And how do I know all this? Because it's been done to me by my immediate-previous employer SIX TIMES in my career: in radio, in local TV, twice in cable sports, twice in cable news. 

C-Block (28:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Since we're on the subject of cable and TV News and Fox and dirtying things up: what I learned from going out on two dates with Laura Ingraham. The second of them was a quarter of a century ago, just about this time of year. I'll let you know when I recover from it.

This week we stop being polite and start getting real with comedian, writer and podcaster Hari Kondabolu! We reminisce about our internships: Vanessa's time at the Oxygen network and Sesame Street, Hari's time as a "Clintern" for Hilary Clinton and Jonah's days interning in the music department at the production company behind this week's topic: MTV's THE REAL WORLD! Together, the three of us reminisce about the groundbreaking reality show, our favorite memories from the early seasons, how the show mirrored our culture—and Jonah gives a behind-the-scenes glimpse about working the front desk of Bunim/Murray Productions in fear of an appearance by Puck! Finally we play a round of LEGIT MOAN OR UNNECESSARY GROAN where we debate the difference between bedspreads and quilts, the trend of false advertising when it comes to fast food commercials and why there aren't enough greeting cards for super specific events. Hari's new comedy special VACATION BABY is now streaming for free on YouTube and the companion album (EXTENDED) VACATION BABY is available on Bandcamp.

Have you ever felt stuck, pigeonhold, or past your prime? Know that there's more in you. You have more to give, and your best is ahead of you! You're just getting warmed up and started! Separate truth from belief. Don't let anyone else's thoughts take your dream from you, and don't let your own self-talk limit you. There is power in the choice to embrace the possible. Keep going!

EPISODE 121: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: Yesterday I proposed that to crowd this corrupt Republican farce, "The Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Government" off the stage, the Democrats needed a similar investigation in the Senate. Suddenly there are far more important reasons than politics and counter-programming. The New York Times' post-mortem on The Durham "Investigation" shows ethical corner cutting and possible criminality. And the deeper dives into the ex-FBI agent arrested Monday show the outlines of the possibility Charles McGonigal took Russian money long before 2021. What if these are just two pictures of the same conspiracy taken at different times? What if this is ALL about an effort to protect Russian Government Intelligence Agencies, and Trump? And even worse: what if The New McCarthyism of the "Weaponization" subcommittee is just the newest photo of the same cover-up?  Start that investigation now, Senators.

B-Block (14:57) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Cookie, in Ft. Lauderdale (16:07) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Sports Owner James Dolan-Moron; Fascist Congressmen threaten an investigation of one company refusing to start paying another company for a product it currently gets for free; and George "Jew-Ish" Santos turns out to have posted offensive Hitler jokes (22:30) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Numerology time. One birthday boy's greatest scoop, about a guy whose birthday was the day before, that aired on 8/8/88.

C-Block (28:43) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: His epic story of deception and the Brooklyn Dodgers: "The Catbird Seat."

Written Interview

In this episode, Jeff recalls when he met with Jeffrey Epstein — just after the Chapo trial — to possibly take over his defense. Much as he did with Harvey Weinstein, he hit it off with Epstein. Jeff also shares more thoughts on the Mar-a-Lago raid as well as the brutal stabbing of novelist Salman Rushdie due to the bounty Iran put on his head — not to be confused with last week’s attempts by Iran to kill John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, and an Iranian dissident living in Brooklyn. Why are we not bombing Iran yet?

This week, Tre’vell and Jarrett are discussing the complicated relationship we have with Charlamagne Tha God and the rest of the team over at "The Breakfast Club." 

The NYC-based syndicated radio show has been on the air since 2010 and has seen everyone from bestie in our head Mo'Nique to presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton come through. Guests can expect to have a candid conversation about hot topics and be grilled by hosts Charlamagne, DJ Envy and Angela Yee. 

There's no denying the show is a hit but sometimes in an effort to be provocative the show can let down its audience. It often traffics in misogyny, transphobia, ignorance and shenanigans. Not to mention the fact that it's received somewhat of a reputation as being the place for White politicians to go when they want to pander to Back voters.

In this latest podcast, Jeff describes the lengths needed to recently get alleged Colombo Crime Family Boss Andrew Russo released on bail, even though everyone could clearly see he was suffering from significant dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The government simply would not give in, despite Russo being handcuffed by his ankles to a bed 24 hours a day in custody. The government relied on the nearly universal history of alleged mob bosses being denied bail – until this bail argument in October of 2021. Jeff also discusses again the result of treating Muslim terrorists with the racism of low expectations – by presuming this is all they’ll ever be and not doing enough to stop them, Palestinians again committed a terror attack, this time on Israeli Independence Day, leaving three men dead and 16 children without fathers.  On a similar note, the new presidential press secretary’s main qualifications are that she’s gay and Black and hates Israel; that she also has a massive conflict of interest doesn’t seem to matter to anyone.  And finally, the seeming reversal of Roe v. Wade will surely end with stuff burning down.  After all, isn’t that what you do when you’re “peacefully protesting”?

Unexpected turn-out during early voting in Austin Texas prompts La Fool to share his volunteer experience at the polls. Everyone worked together for the same cause - every vote counts.

How did we come to the point in the United States where half the country is willing to accept a leader who has demonstrated racism, bigotry, homophobia, xenophobia? A questions if non-voters would skew the apparent 50/50 split.

We look back at the 2016 election and La Fool's vote that year. Knowing what we know now, would you rather have a physician or a former Secretary of State, running the country for the last 4 years?

Will a Biden presidency be better for the country? Can Biden/Harris make a difference? Will Trump go to Russia? What will the voters of both parties do in the coming 4 years? All of this, and more!
