There is a good chance that we could have the first Florida Man president in US history. Four Florida men are running for the highest office in the land in the 2024 election. Mayor Francis Suarez, Senator Rick Scott, Governor Ron DeSantis and the big dog himself, Donald J. Trump, are all vying to be our next president. With the help of Florida natives, Ryan Ray and Emily Kearns, we discuss the viability of these four men and whether we think they are hot or not.

Manny joins Isaac to debate the merits of cannabis after Ron DeSantis said on the campaign trail that he would NOT federally decriminalize cannabis if elected president. The next day he signed a bill legalizing tele-health prescriptions for medical marijuana. Curious! Then we talk about the Titanic submersible event after everybody else already said their piece. We are taking comments on this episode, so call 941-704-5149 and leave a voicemail and tell us why weed sucks or that G-d gave us the herb to heal our rotten souls. I'll respond to them in a following episode. Sound engineering by Thomas Pryle and Calvin Stumpf

Star of the recent documentary Jared From Subway: Catching A Monster and former FBI informant, Rochelle Herman, talks about her time going undercover to expose Jared Fogle. Was he just a stupid pervert? Or a perverted intelligence asset? Is calling an intelligence asset perverted redundant? Isaac is the latest victim of media layoffs. Sound engineer: Thomas Pryle

You've likely heard about the Florida anti-immigrant bill that has undocumented migrants fleeing the state. Manny comes on the pod to talk about his experience working with immigrants and his own experience as an immigrant in the United States. Then we talk about the rise of independent conservative artists Forgiato Blow and Jimmy Levy and how art might never have been meritocratic. Sound engineered by Thomas Pryle.

Daniel Boguslaw, investigative reporter of The Intercept, joins Isaac to complain about the state of journalism. Isaac gets real sad about Florida, but takes great pleasure in Ron DeSantis' inability to catch a break.

I talk with Robert Schentrup. His sister was killed at the Parkland school shooting. We talk about the death penalty and gun violence. Sound engineer: Thomas Pryle.

Has Ron DeSantis's presidential campaign ended before it even officially began? On today's episode, I'm joined by Ryan Ray to talk about all the ways in which DeSantis has stumbled and why passing policy is actually bad politics. I also implore liberals to stopping threatening to move to Canada when they don't get their way. Check out Ryan's podcast, Tropical Depression, for more informed insight on Florida politics. Sound engineered by Thomas Pryle.

In light of the latest news regarding the release of military documents that reveal the CIA hid information from the FBI that could have prevented the 9/11 attacks, Dan Christensen joins the podcast to remind Isaac what serious journalism is. Dan Christensen is the founder and editor of Florida Bulldog, a non-profit, independent publication that has broke some of the most significant news regarding the September 11th attacks and the events and characters that surround it. Please do yourself and good journalism a favor and head over the Florida Bulldog to read Dan's latest. Thanks as always to sound engineer Thomas Pryle.

This week we have Palestinian director Vin Arfuso on the show to talk about his new documentary, Walled Off. It's about the hotel in the West Bank with the "worst view in the world." We talk about who is really to blame for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (it's not the Jews!) and getting shadowbanned on social media (it's real, we swear!). Be a mensch and watch the doc. Sound engineer: Thomas Pryle

The gloves are off! Meatball Ron and the Teflon Don are finally at each other's throats. Is this a good thing for Florida? Or does that mean DeSantis is going to be our governor for a lot longer than we expected? We finish our countdown of the nuttiest bills in the Florida legislature. Sound engineer: Thomas Pryle
