Kriss and Ro are back for a new episode of The Insanity Check and there's plenty of dumb shit to go over. 
First, why are snickers...regular snickers...$2? This is absurd. Almost as absurd as having a Nazi tattoo (THE Nazi Tattoo) and trying to claim you didn't know it was a Nazi Tattoo. Graham Platner once again proves how white men are given the  benefit of the doubt for the absolute dumbest things. It should be that having a Nazi tattoo means you can't run for public office but apparently, that's a  bar too high. And that doesn't get into all the sexism, homophobia and everything else from his Reddit posts. 
We miss the days when having a nazi tattoo meant you were clearly unqualified to be a politician. They really think we're too stupid to accept better.

New episode of the Insanity Check with the host of the Unanimous Decision, Dpalm. We start the show with talking about how things in UNC are going as well as everyone (with a brain) expected with Bill Belichick. Also why has sports commentary become so terrible? And Kriss once again complains about how much we've just allowed gambling to take over sports.
Other topics:

* Peter Thiel is absolutely insane
* OpenA.I is burning down the planet for A.I. memes and empty promises 

Also...apologies to Toby Keith (you'll understand at the end).

We're back with another Insanity Check. It's getting to the point where these episodes are more like weekly therapy sessions so we can try to make it through all the horrible shit that's coming up in the week. Kriss is joined by Ro this time and we're talking through some of the connective threads through all the things we're dealing with.
The ability to see connections and understand the impacts of multiple things at a time is something we've seen really decline. And part of that is due to how some of the things we grew up doing either no longer happen or are much harder to get. It also doesn't help that parents have a much harder time being able to help supplement their child's learning because they're being overworked and have less free time
We also talk about how the US stock market is held up by the same 7 companies, all off them responsible for shoving A.I. down our throats. And they're doing it while packing environmentally unfriendly data centers in populated areas. Also...they told us that A.I. would  take the boring jobs and leave humans to do more Arts & Humanities. So why are we talking about A.I. actors now?
Full video on the expansion of Data Centers in residential areas.
One note, turns out Ro & I were talking about two different A.I. cases around A.I companies stealing copyright content. Fun times when it's so many...you lose track.

Kriss is joined by Karen from the Black Guy Who Tips.
A good portion of the show we end up talking about the beginning of the discussion between Ezra Klein and Ta-Nehisi Coates on Ezra's podcast. It's a good (if not sometimes frustrating) discussion between the two in which it becomes clear that Klein, is so focused on not losing that it's a set up to not win. Coates challenges (with no real good explanations from Klein) on how to rationalize wanting the left to "learn from" the right in such a short term viewpoint. He brings up the fact that the claim of the "increase in political violence" downplays the political violence experienced by so many marginalized groups for decades. And while Coates doesn't directly say it, we talk about how insulting it is to claim that the Right constantly engages with those that disagree with them while ignoring all the work and engagement that black and brown writers/activists and others do on the left. 
The whole conversation is both enlightening as well as frustrating because it illustrates just how cowardly so many on the left are and how easily they are willing to throw the less fortunate out if it means scoring political points.

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check after some time off. This week he's joined by Brandon (PhenomBlak) to talk about all the craziness that's unfolded the last few weeks.
One thing that's becoming more clear is that this country is being led by people who don't know what they're doing. And we're not just talking about the Government and the Trump administration. Corporate America is showing not only their cowardice but also that they really have no idea what they're actually doing. 
No Mark, I will not buy your stupid smart glasses.

Two episodes in the same month. Maybe we really are back. Kriss is joined by Justin and as promised, we bring good news in a sea of dumb shit: The Clipse are back with a great motivational coke raps album. With everything going on it's good to see some legends come back with an album that not only feels like they never left but is clearly a passion for them.
If only everything else was that simple. We dive into the idiocy that is our politics and how conspiracy theory and bad faith argument seem to mean more to people than common sense. The MAGA "Civil War" over the Epstein cases is stupid for so many reasons, mainly that these idiots would rather focus on conspiracies over the very obvious and real things that are happening. It's just a reminder of how chaotic our world is. 
We also preview a topic for a future show: A.I. and our use is getting dumber and dumber.

What better thing to bring Kriss out of his cave than Trump and the GOP passing a bill that lies to people about the tax cuts they were promised, gives wealthy Americans way more in deductions, cuts Medicaid and makes ICE the most well funded federal law enforcement agency all while adding $3-4 Trillion to the deficit. Fantastic.
While everyone is talking about Democrat vs Republicans, Capitalism vs Socialism vs Communism, no one is talking about the reality that: People just fucking suck and take no responsibility or care not about anything beyond their own desires. And terrible people know this. Take the "Big Beautiful Bill" and the insidious way that key provisions are phased in or out around key election dates.

* Medicaid cuts weirdly enough don't start until after the 2026 mid-terms 
* The "no tax on tips/overtime/social security" (which are just deductions and not what they seem) phase out in 2028

There's a lot more to go over and Kriss talks about it with Ro.

One last Insanity Check for 2024. Kriss and Ro pop in to talk about the pyramid schemes of tech bros that have convinced the population:

* That they're smart when they're in fact idiots
* Leading us down the most stupid path possible

We were promised a Star Wars future but instead we're getting one closer to Blade Runner. Oh joy. Tech bros have priced the average American out of technology innovations, corrupted the useful potential of AI (Kyle Reese would be so disappointed in us) and convinced everyone that if they just work harder...they too can be a billionaire. 
Oh and Kriss introduces Ro to the idiocy that is Turo and people's really bad business decisions.

There's only one thing that would bring Kriss and the Insanity Check back from podcast retirement and that's the absolutely insanity that is the spitefulness, dumbness and racism that would elect Trump a second time...giving him not only the popular vote but the Senate and House. All because of racism, sexism and the fact that the average American has the thought process & attention span of a 15 year old on TikTok. 
Ro and Brandon join Kriss as they talk about the complete stupidity of the "American People" when it comes to not understanding their own finances, how the economy works and why Trump's initial picks for coveted cabinet positions are even worse than the first term. 
The one moment of Zen/happiness is The Onion completing the troll of Alex Jones and buying InfoWars in auction. 
This is cheaper than therapy so the Insanity Check will be coming back on a more regular frequency (TBD). No premium content. No donations. No notes. Just

I told you all that you would never know when I would drop another Insanity Check and well…here we are. I was able to convince DPalm to join me so you know that means it was a crazy ass week. It’s also very clear that I’m too old for this shit. We’ve come full circle. I lived through the DotCom bubble only to see idiots going down the Web3.0/Crypto/NFT grift. Fun times. Anyway, there’s plenty to chat about. So give it a listen and stay tuned cause you never know when the next episode will come. 

It's here. The final Insanity Check (sorta). Kriss brings on two of his favorite guests, Rod & Karen from The Black Guy Who Tips for this final episode. There's plenty to talk about since the last episode. Joe Biden won the general election and has won it like 30 more times since November 3rd. Trump has continued to lose it since then and all it has done is shown how insane and dangerous his conspiracy theories have been. Way too many people are willing to either believe his lies or play along with them for their own personal gain. But it doesn't stop with just the nutcases on the right. The white leftist dudebros are also showing their colors as they've finally turned on The Squad and it's hilarious because of how predictable it's all been. But we can't end the Insanity Check without some good "Great Moments in White Privilege" as well as some examples of scientists apparently not paying attention to the warning messages we get from SciFi movies.
Topics:

* Joe Biden won the election. Then he won it again. Then again. Then again. And again
* White leftists turn on The Squad for...*checks notes* voting for  Pelosi as House Speaker instead of letting it fall to a Republican
* Adolf Hitler wins Namibia election
* Well...it's not technically cannibalism
* Great Moments in White Privilege

* Aunt Becky picked her own prison and then didn't have to  stay in  it long
* US teen finds out the hard way that white privilege doesn't carry over to the Cayman Islands


* Do You Even Sci-Fi Bro?

* Planet of the Apes:  Scientists splice human genes into monkey brains...what could go wrong?
* Making robots from living cells...because why stop the madness with 2020?
* Racist white dudes prove why aliens will never visit us
