NYGBC: The Intellectual Dim Web

This week, we take a look at the group of nitwits so vapid and disgraceful they could only come up with their own nicknames, the Intellectual Dark Web. Coined by Eric Weinstein in 2017 because nobody would let him and his brother join their club even though they were unquestionably way cooler than all those other kids, the IDW came to prominence and them promptly ate itself between 2018 and 2019, living on only in the hearts and minds of people who like boring podcasts and live streams of facial moles.   Thanks as always for listening and enjoy the show!

NYGBC: The Great Reset Chapter 8

This week’s chapter is titled “Great Reset of Food” because Alex had to give his definite articles to the parents of Sandy Hook victims. This time around, Alex devotes 20 pages to hard-selling his emergency food buckets to rubes. So… the same thing he does every day Pinky. Thanks as always for listening and enjoy the show!

NYGBC: The War on Learning to Read Good and Do Other Stuff Too Part 2

This week, we dive back into our lunatic fringe exploration of the right’s war on college education, and if there’s anything I can promise you it is that this episode is full of guns, trucks, country music, and statistics about the right’s view of a college education as a net positive in American society. We dive deep into the muddy waters of the coordinated propaganda machine that amplified right wing grievances about “muh free speech” on college campuses into a full on panic about YOUR CHILDREN being turned into ANTIFA SUPER SOLDIERS!
