The tech oligarchs who once pulled the strings from behind the scenes are now running the show right out in the open. Professional idiot Elon Musk is taking a sledgehammer to the federal government, and Silicon Valley’s sleaziest slimeballs are warming themselves in Trump’s fetid lap. Obviously, this is a disaster. To break down just how bad it is—and what it means for the future of our already struggling country—Adam sits down with friend of the show Ed Zitron, journalist and sharp-tongued tech critic behind betteroffline.com and wheresyoured.at

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are obsessed with proving they’re “real” men. That’s an issue with these two dangerous dorks—but more importantly, it reflects a larger crisis that’s impacting men across the country.

Just because weed is legal doesn’t mean it’s safe. Despite its growing legalization across the country, a lack of regulation has led to alarming levels of pesticides and chemicals in cannabis products—posing serious health risks. This week, Adam talks with Los Angeles Times investigative reporter Paige St. John about her recent findings on contaminated products being sold in fully legal dispensaries and what it means for consumers.

Vaccines save lives—period. So why have so many people grown skeptical of one of the most scientifically proven medical advancements in human history? And how did vocal anti-vaxxer, conspiracy theorist, and all-around slurry-brained mush man Robert F. Kennedy Jr. end up on track to be nominated as Secretary of Health and Human Services in Donald Trump’s cabinet? This week, Adam sits down with Dr. Adam Ratner, head of pediatric infectious diseases at NYU and author of Booster Shots: The Urgent Lessons of Measles and the Uncertain Future of Children’s Health, to unpack how we got to this alarming point of science denial—and what it means for public health in America and beyond.

It feels like everything is a gamble these days, doesn’t it? That’s because, in many ways, it literally is. Sports betting, Wall Street speculation, crypto gambling, even loot boxes in video games—risk-taking has become a central part of American culture. When did we unknowingly turn the entire country into one giant casino?

Health insurance companies aren’t in the business of keeping people healthy—they’re in the business of making money. And that means they’ll go to extreme lengths to deny valid healthcare claims, sometimes with devastating, even fatal, consequences for the people they insure. We all know the system is broken, but journalists T. Christian Miller and Patrick Rucker have uncovered just how deep the rot goes in their exposé Not Medically Necessary. This week, Adam sits down with Miller and Rucker to discuss their shocking findings and whether there’s any hope of escaping the nightmare of for-profit healthcare.

Seriously, what happened to the idea of decades? We’re already halfway through the "20s," yet for the past twenty years, the cultural conversation has been dominated by "generations" instead. Here’s why that shift isn’t doing anyone any favors.

In recent years, despite trans people making up a relatively small percentage of the population, there has been an outsized and deeply harmful wave of anti-trans backlash. Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign was fueled in large part by anti-trans rhetoric, and he wasted no time acting on his hateful promises in his first days back in office. This week, Adam speaks with Chase Strangio, Co-Director of the ACLU’s LGBT & HIV Project and the first trans man to argue before the Supreme Court, to discuss the relentless assault on trans rights in America—and how these attacks ultimately impact everyone.

The Los Angeles fires were not preventable, virtually nothing could have been done to prevent the devastation. While it's natural for people to seek someone or something to blame—often focusing on the response to the fire—the truth is that the root cause runs so much deeper than that.

The phrase "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" actually started as a joke—because, let’s face it, it’s physically impossible. So how did this absurd notion become one of the most unshakable ideas in American culture? The truth is, the ideals of self-reliance and hustle have always been more myth than reality. This week, Adam sits down with Adam Chandler, author of 99% Perspiration, to explore how the myth of hard work and hustle culture has been weaponized to keep the rich richer, while the rest of us are left struggling in a system rigged against us.
