We're back with a new Insanity Check episode with Kriss & Ro. We're seeing a bunch of men doing really horrible and stupid things all to hold on to their own privilege and power. Dr. Cerina Fairfax was murdered in her own home by her husband, former LT Governor Justin Fairfax which capped off a flurry of horrible acts by men in just the last week or so. Worse still was seeing the initial outpouring of love and compassion shown to Justin Fairfax...the man that murdered his wife. Men have created a world in which they have to be the providers and in charge and if there is any change to that, they can't come to terms with it and we have to be treated like babies. Enough is enough F**k Justin Fairfax If you can kill your wife it probably means those sexual assault allegations went just allegations "Rape Academy" because...WTF are men doing? Dave Chappelle feels some kind of why that Republicans "weaponized" his trans "jokes" which....yeah...we told you that would happen Joe Rogan says he's political homeless...and then he goes to the White House for something he text the President about Sam Altman was the target of an attack and you can't help but blame the things that the AI companies and their CEOs are doing for leading to this   Guest: Ro @bookblerd.bsky.social‬   Like what you hear?

We're back with a new Insanity Check episode with Kriss & Ro scammed. We need to bring back Gate Keeping nerd culture. The "Bros" are ruining it Claiming you don't get "political" and you want "politics" out of TV/Movies/Books just means you want to stick your fingers in your ears and close your eyes so you don't have to every think or face reality Half of US Data Centers scheduled for 2026 are delayed or cancelled; Sure everything is fine Covid broke the brains of the ultra-rich and they're all staring down their own mortality and making the rest of us suffer for it Peter Thiel is doing anti-christ lectures in Rome because he hates himself Conservatives come off as hypocrites for criticizing and making laws against liberal things not because they fear them but because they hate that everyone else is happy and doesn't hate themselves like they do Guest: Ro @bookblerd.bsky.social‬   Like what you hear?

We're back with a new Insanity Check episode and Kriss has scammed...I mean...asked... Dpalm to join this episode.  The Trump Administration went to war and never thought about what came next People have turned hating things into content and their entire personality. Being a Hater is fine if you're self aware of that.  If 40% of the country is going to continue to be a weight against progress, we'll continue to drown. Radical change doesn't come on a 60-40 split Can you explain your stupid thing with two questions...then you need to stop We've turned college into a just a way to get debt while people hope and pray they get a degree that makes them a lot of money instead of focusing on learning and making you a well rounded human being Gambling makes everything worse Kriss almost ruins Tom Holland's career Guest: Dpalm @dpalm66.bsky.social‬   Like what you hear?

We're back with a new Insanity Check episode with Ro. The Prediction Market Bros are Fighting People are using chatbots for legal advice during active cases and it's screwing them over The majority demographic in America, regardless (or should i say irregardless now...) of political affiliation can't be trusted in politics Why is it that "white working class voters" need an economic message spelled out to them but every other demographic seems to understand the assignment?

We're back with a new Insanity Check episode with Ro. Fawn Weaver is going to Shark Tank because...why not? There's no need for "nuance" in the BAFTA debacle because it's very clear what happened and why it shouldn't have A.I. companies are using your chat data to train their models.  OpenAI lowers it's spending on compute target by 50%. It's still a fake number Anthropic vs the Department of Defense...can they both lose? "You have to trust your military to do the right thing" is a crazy thing to say but especially right before the Trump administration starts attacking Iran without Congressional approval "A.I. safety" isn't about the potential of A.I. becoming Skynet but rather the standards and testing of automation based on A.I to make sure things are secure and don't break. A.I. can't and won't do the autonomous warfare crap these people are thinking up but it can still do a lot of damage because dumbasses believe it can Guest: Ro @bookblerd.bsky.social‬   Like what you hear?

We're back with a new Insanity Check episode with Ro. This is administration finds new lows to hit Rolling back the Clean Air Act regulations isn't about cars, it's about data centers Elon and xAI are still poisoning a town Ring's Super Bowl ad was clearly not about finding lost pets; They cancel their Flock partnership but still work with law enforcement Even if Ring stops working with law enforcement, the Supreme Court case on geofence warrants may make it so it doesn't matter Sam Altman says ads were the last resort for OpenAI's business model...they're bringing ads to OpenAI At what point do people wake up and just stop using these terrible products that provide no real value?

We're back with a new Insanity Check episode with guest, Dpalm (Host of the Unanimous Decision podcast). This is a short episode where Kriss and Dpalm spend some much needed time asking the question of "Why is everyone being stupid?". From the insanity that is sports betting and "predictive markets" (i.e. gambling on every thing) to the Epstein file stating what everyone really already knew (the world's richest men manipulating public opinion on things that could challenge their power) to every day people selling their souls for a quick dopamine hit with A.I. slop. People know better and need to do better.  The Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo is now a Kalshi shareholder, which is the obvious and logical next step for Sport's maddening  decent into gambling. What could possible go wrong?  Hobart, Indiana's deal with Amazon for a data center is a perfect example of why these data center deals are bad. In exchange for investing virtually nothing back into the city, Amazon gets decades of no taxes. Remember when copyright laws applied to everyone? Well apparently that doesn't count for A.I. companies. For example, "Project Panama" where Anthropic scanned and then destroyed millions of books without permission in order to train their models Guest: Dpalm @dpalm66.bsky.social‬   Like what you hear?

Take a week off only for ICE to execute another person in Minneapolis.  Topics for the show: The media may finally be waking up and starting to do their job. Dana Bash pressed Greg Bovino on the murder for Alex Pretti and it did not go well for Bovino Full Interview Bovino did so poorly on the Bash interview, he scrambled to do a press conference that resulted in him also being pressed by the media and him having to quickly leave Full Press Conference Also, turns out what we predicted was right and Bovino's claim about the man they were after was also full of lies as well DHS and the Trump administration continue to use abuser language "Just do what we say. You're making us hurt you" As a Black person it's okay to have conflicting feelings right now as we watch white people and the media finally come to the realization of what the government and law enforcement does but that it took two white people to be killed instead of listening when this was happening to black people It's not just awaken at home but we're watching foreign leaders also realize that it's time for a change. Mark Carney (Canada's PM) gave an amazing speech at the World Economics Forum  Guest: Ro @bookblerd.bsky.social‬   Like what you hear?

Two weeks in and 2026 is already showing it's ass. We've now reached the part of the program where the Administration is now shooting white women in the face and lying about it like police do when they kill an unarmed Black person. And people (not Black people. We tried to tell them) are shocked. Things are going swell. Kriss is joined by Justin and Brandon to discuss topics from the shooting in Minneapolis to the dangers and stupidity of A.I. Topics for the show: Multiple videos and analysis show what happen to Renee Good and yet the administration is just flat out lying to everyone's face about what happened (much like police do when they shoot Black people) JD Vance has nothing better to do than do a press conference to tell all of us not to believe our lying eyes The people telling us we need to just accept A.I. seem to believe we'll just "figure it out" when nothing in history shows that The people in charge of A.I. are the worst people we know and nothing about what they're doing is about the benefit of humanity Guest: Justin and Brandon @ljay90.bsky.social‬ @phenomblak.bsky.social‬   Like what you hear?

New Year Same B******t...actually worse. Nothing like kicking off 2026 with an unhinged Trump kidnapping a foreign leader for oil. Nice.  Topics for the show: There used to be rules for this shit. The US's foreign wars and policy has always been problematic but there used to be some sort of process and at least attempt to go through the proper channels. This has completely deteriorated over the last 2 decades and we end up with the mess Trump just created The US isn't on a way to becoming a surveillance state...it already is one...thanks to private companies like Flock Safety If you're gonna spy on people the least you could do would be to secure the cameras so anyone could watch them...right? Politico's interview with Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley shows how absolutely terrible these CEOs are Denver's city council votes to cancel it's contract with Flock Safety only to be overruled by the mayor Apparently if you point out and track Flock cameras you're now a terrorist organization Pay Day loans are back and worse than ever Bonus....Tech Companies have found more loopholes around anti-trust laws by just entering licensing agreements then hiring all the people from the company they want to acquire. Fantastic. Just Great. Guest: Ro @bookblerd.bsky.social‬   Like what you hear? Subscribe so you don't miss an episode!   Follow us on BlueSky: @InsanityReport  

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check to cover this week's dose of insanity in the world. This week he's joined by Ro and well...everything is just really really stupid Topics for the show: Everyone is talking about the Epstein List and it's not even in the top 25 dumb/bad things the Administration is doing The best way to bring down inflation is to just make up the numbers on the inflation report Yahoo Finance names OpenAI 'Company of the Year' because racking up ton of debt and costs with no actual plan to pay it off is what pass as good business these days Disney signs deal to license to OpenAI (more costs for OpenAI) while giving a pinky promise to buy OpenAI equity Waymo didn't make sure their vehicles could work if the power for traffic lights went out; How does something like this happen (and Waymo is supposed to be the 'good' autonomous vehicle company) Just because CEOs 'run' companies that make a lot of money doesn't make them smart Roblox is getting sued by Tennessee (and other states) for making an unsafe environment for kids. Good thing their CEO didn't go on a podcast with two journalist and say really stupid and damaging things..oh wait The full interview (you need to watch it) is here Guest: Ro @bookblerd.bsky.social‬   Like what you hear?

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check to cover this week's dose of insanity in the world. This week he's joined by Ro. Topics for the show: People need to start treating the word "privilege" as if it is a dirty word. It's okay to acknowledge and own your privilege if you use it for good and don't be an a*****e Marjorie Taylor Greene is taking her racist bigotted ball and going home Everything is related to politics so the excuse that you don't "pay attention to politics" Is the media just doing propaganda or are is the media voices we're getting just the unqualified stupid people that are covering things they don't understand If A.I. is taking jobs, name the product Chuck Schumer is terrible as the Senate Minority Leader and there is a really easy fix for this that doesn't require having people wait until the next election Fun extra reading, the fun Google emails from their anti-trust case where Ad execs pressure and manipulate the Search team to make Google Search worse in order to juice ad revenue Email 1 Email 2   Guest: Ro @bookblerd.bsky.social‬   Like what you hear?

Kriss is joined by Justin this week. We spend a little bit of time talking about the Dem wins on election night and the government shutdown. It's (hopefully) becoming more clear to Americans (the majority) that the GOP's sole goal in life is to punish everyday Americans. Maybe just maybe they'll start to understand. But the majority of the episode is talking about how Tech Bros and their shareholders have absolutely lost their goddamn minds. First, there's Tesla shareholders approving a $1 Trillion compensation package for Elon Musk despite the fact that he hasn't actually delivered anything. What's worse is when you look at the terms of the pay package, it's clear that is is damn near impossible for him to achieve. 1 Million Tesla robots? No. 10 million autonomous driving subscriptions (they have 12% adoption rate currently)? Taking Tesla fro $1.5 trillion market cap to $8.5 trillion in 10 years? Will never happen. So instead it's just glazing a delusional CEO that hasn't actually built a damn thing himself. If you can, try to make it through his ridiculous remarks during the shareholder meeting. I dare you. But Elon and Tesla are just the tip of the iceberg. Sam Altman and Open A.I. have some how managed to convince of bunch of other rich people that giving them money to burn through is a good idea. Make no mistake. Openly lighting hundreds of billions of dollars on fire might actually be more useful and less damaging to the environment than the hundreds of billions of dollars being thrown at Open A.I to make a chatbot that is a slightly worse Google Chat and also might convince your kids to kill themselves. The financial numbers don't make sense. The products (that don't exist) don't make sense. The damage to the environment doesn't make sense. None of it makes sense. Except...it means "number go up".    Guest: Justin @LJay90   Like what you hear? Subscribe so you don't miss an episode!   Follow us on BlueSky: @InsanityReport
