Well I hope you enjoyed a blast from the past before we disappeared off the face of the earth. Tragic remembered his password and as a sorry he brought a new victi- Expert into the bathroom to talk about the 2 most polar opposites, Crypto and rules. The figureheads of Americas laws has decided to make a decision about crypto currency. Like with all laws it is written densely and, as we are about to discuss , enforced rather loosely. No one's got the time to care about what the words are..... so I read them all and its time for me to teach you all the tips and trick. From who ways to DDOS your way into following less laws to what counts as a "Dog coin"This episode covers the Clarity ActGenius bill and Anti CBDCC bill. Strap on and join us in THE COMEBACK of your favorite stupid genius's.
The studio is quiet. The inbox is full. And everyone’s on hiatus. But sometimes, when things slow down, old ghosts knock on the mic.This week, while the rest of the crew takes a breather for work (and probably mental health reasons), Bathroom and Tragic return to where it all began: Weeb Woes—the very first episode they ever recorded back in 2021.There are no bits. No wild crypto pitches. No political satire. Just two friends revisiting the strange intersection of nostalgia, identity, and anime. In this re-airing and reflection, we talk about:IDF remember lol listen to the episode It’s a time capsule, a soft reboot, and a quiet love letter to the early days of this show—and to the people listening who’ve been with us since it was just rambling in a bedroom mic.If you’re feeling lost, burnt out, or just too online, this one’s for you.and u gey
Ever wanted to hear a brilliant, nuanced breakdown of Worldcoin and the future of global crypto economics... with only half the conversation?Well, you’re in luck. This lost audio file captures a call between Bathroom and Tragic where, unfortunately, Tragic’s audio is missing. What’s left is a slightly unhinged, one-sided attempt to explain why getting rich off Worldcoin might be harder than convincing your grandma to scan her iris for tokens.In this surreal solo mission, Bathroom reacts to unheard Tragic commentary like a psychic medium who’s really into DeFi. We talk about:Why Worldcoin’s “free money” model isn’t as free as it soundsAnd whether Bathroom is just talking to himself or has unlocked a new form of crypto schizophreniaIt’s awkward. It’s unfiltered. It’s tragically missing Tragic. But it still might be the most important financial discussion you’ll ever hear in mono.Come for the wealth talk, stay for the chaos.Because sometimes, the only thing more unstable than the crypto market... is the recording setup.
Dang I think I got all my money taken away- I mean, I have so much money from my last episode. Enough money in fact I think I will engage in illicit crimes and trafficking and get away with it like diddy.This week, we open the velvet-rope closet and take a flashlight to the oil-slicked mess behind the media mogul once known for shiny suits and “can’t stop, won’t stop” energy. From the allegations that shocked the industry to the eerie silence from his peers, we break down the timeline, the reactions, and the parts that feel a little too well-timed. Is this karma, coincidence, or corporate chess?We explore:How power, wealth, and nostalgia cloud accountabilityAnd the uncomfortable question: what happens next?Pill wonders if we’re witnessing the end of an era—or just the end of the NDA cycle. Tragic, meanwhile, wants to know how many celebrities are watching this unfold while clutching burner phones and wiping hard drives.This isn’t conspiracy—it’s commentary.Expect a thoughtful, unsensational breakdown with just enough humor to keep your soul intact. Because sometimes, the closet isn’t just where you keep the skeletons—it’s where you store the oil.
WOOO boy, finally got back to a place with soap and closed door sewers. Both countries decided they didnt want us representing them and sent wild scammers after us. Which speaking of scammers...Isnt us nor are we talking about scammers again, Fresh off our coverage of international conflict, we clock in at the Coin Coin Office, where the grind is digital, the stakes are non-existent, and the only war is between your attention span and a captcha screen. That’s right—we’re talking free crypto apps. The ones that promise magical internet money in exchange for a little tapping, swiping, and maybe giving up your soul (chipotle rewards points).In this episode, we walk through one of these apps live to see if it’s really “free” money I know we said we would never make your rich...... and we still wont:)Bathroom tries to decode a blockchain while Tragic wonders if this is what 9-to-5 jobs have evolved into.Is this just capitalism dressed as Candy Crush?Will this coin be worth more than lint in 5 years?You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, you’ll probably download something shady. Either way, come get your coins with us. TragicCoin to the Moon 🚀🚀🚀🚀
I finally took some Zyrtec and I am able to get out of my car after commuting 2 hours to this pantry in the middle of nowhere. Last time, we zoomed in on the micro-evils that plague our daily lives—from fruitless urban trees to the tyranny of HOA boards. We explored how small-scale selfishness can ripple into widespread societal issues.This week, we pivot from the local to the global, dissecting the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. The conflict reignited on April 22 with a tragic attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, resulting in the deaths of 28 civilians, predominantly Hindu tourists. India attributed the attack to Pakistan-backed militants, leading to a series of retaliatory strikes.Where borderlines are getting blurry and patience is wearing thin. From airstrikes to diplomatic shade, we unpack why these two nuclear neighbors are once again on edge—and what it means for the rest of the world.As always, it's part news breakdown, part comedy spiral, part geopolitical group therapy.Will this end in peace talks or subtweets with missiles? Listen in to find out.
Getting out of Trump's "Patriotic reeducation camp" was a bit of a doozy. Luckily, he forgot to lock the door as he was too busy celebrating his 100-day anniversary of joining the democratic dictators club. Luckily his camp was taught by that Linda Lady who just made us watch old WWE But after 100 days of macro-level madness, we thought—why not zoom in? Like, way in.This week, Tragic and Pill dissect something much sneakier than sweeping executive orders: evil on a local scale. Not the Bond villain kind—more like that neighbor who installs floodlights that blast through your bedroom window, or the urban planners who decided trees shouldn’t have... fruit. From social media addiction as a “life hack” to blowing out your personal convenience at the expense of public health, we explore the everyday selfishness that reshapes society one petty, thoughtless decision at a time. Why do we tolerate small-scale evil? Is it because it's legal? Is it because we do it too? Or is it because fighting it would require… being annoying at city council meetings? Tragic asks if we've all become tiny tyrants with ring lights. Pill says if evil exists at scale, it starts in your HOA.As always, expect sharp insights, chaotic hypotheticals, and a few curses directed at city planners, billionaires, and that guy who put a mirror on his lawn to reflect sun into his neighbor’s eyes. If last episode was geopolitics, this one’s your local devil. And yes, he drives a Tesla with tinted windows and cuts in line at Trader Joe’s.Tune in, rage responsibly, and maybe don’t plant another male tree.
Luckily, we bought new podcast equipment for this next episode, the downside is it was from China and used Cobalt and that one super material from the last episode. Now that we managed to get our podcast set up, we get to Tariff your ears with info on America's big Kahuna of Tariffs, Trump and what on earth (s)he did the first 100 days. It’s been 100 days since Trump stepped (back) into the Oval Office—and Pill and Tragic are here with the report card no one asked for but everyone needs.In this episode, we break down what’s actually happened in the first leg of this presidency: the executive orders, the policy blitzes, the “did (S)he really say that?” moments, and the quiet shifts that flew under the radar. Was it all just political theater, or are we witnessing the realignment of the American system in real time?We examine what promises were made, what’s been delivered, and who’s caught in the crossfire—from immigrants and student loan borrowers to state governments and federal judges. And we don’t just count headlines—we connect dots. What do these early moves suggest about the direction of domestic power, global diplomacy, and the ongoing culture war?Expect a mix of sharp commentary, uncomfortable truths, and just enough levity to keep your blood pressure in check. Tragic wonders if we’re watching a new form of authoritarian populism emerge, while Pill asks the more important question: if this is the trial period, what’s the subscription fee?
Last time, we dove into why humans keep inventing monsters to explain the unexplainable—from Paul Bunyan’s Big Lumber Agenda to the Wendigo’s cold-blooded capitalism. This week we get to talk about my second Favorite myth, free trade and globalism yayyyyyyy. And the monster that haunts Jerome Powell's dreams: tariffs.In this episode, we ask the essential question—what if the U.S. started slapping tariffs on everything, everywhere, all at once? What happens when you weaponize trade instead of tradition? We break down what countries actually export (hint: it’s not just cute fruits and cheap electronics), and how tariffing these seemingly random goods could cause chaos in ways you didn’t expect. From Chilean grapes to Belgian Cobalt, we’re tracing the bizarre spiderweb of global dependency one petty import tax at a time.But don’t worry—it’s not all macroeconomics. We also talk about how the US is a [spoiler], why we are jealous of communism, and which minerals hold the entire modern world together like an insecure ex. If the phrase “tariff these nuts” sounds immature, that’s because it is. But underneath the jokes is a serious look at how power works through policy, how fragile global supply chains actually are, and why your favorite snack could become a symbol of international beef.It’s chaotic, it’s educational, and yes—it’s extremely fruity.
Tragic takes a bathroom break so bathroom and pill talk about he forbidden subject, Soccer.
Last week, we tried to destroy the concept of time. This week, we’re back to destroy reality itself—or at least explain why humans keep making it up. Tragic and Bathroom explore myths from across the globe: Paul Bunyan swinging his giant axe for American expansionism, the Wendigo lurking in frozen forests as a warning against greed, a Ghanaian vampire feeding on both fear and colonial trauma, and Baba Yaga doing... whatever Baba Yaga wants.All just to ask: why do people invent monsters, gods, and talking animals? What were these stories actually doing for the societies that told them?These stories aren’t just spooky bedtime tales —it’s a survival manual. They’re cultural blueprints, designed to teach, terrify, and explain the unexplainable. Why do humans keep creating monsters? Why are so many of them women with knives? And what do our favorite folk legends say about the fears we can't Google? We explore how myth shapes morality, builds communities, and makes life slightly less terrifying. Why fear the IRS when you could fear a horned forest demon that steals your name? Folklore reveals what a culture values—and what it desperately wants to suppress.This episode gets deep, weird, and just a little spooky. Come for the symbolism, stay for the spider god (next season), and leave with a better understanding of your weird little brain.
Good morning, phew after my ad free tier of sleep™ Ran out I was faced with an even worse time because it is spring forward daylight savings, losing me a whole hour. Last time, we uncovered how capitalism might infiltrate our literal dreams. This week, we’re tackling something equally absurd yet somehow realer than it should be: Daylight Savings Time.You know it, you hate it, and yet, twice a year, we all just go along with it. Lose an hour. Gain an hour. Pretend like it makes sense. But what if instead of tweaking the clocks by a measly 60 minutes, we really committed? What if Daylight Savings got an upgrade?Tragic and Pill are here to push the boundaries of time itself. What if every six months, time shifted randomly? One day, you wake up and it's 4 PM instead of 9 AM. Maybe your birthday moves. Maybe your work shift starts before yesterday even ended. What would it do to society? To productivity? To human sanity?Would CEOs find a way to monetize temporal confusion? Would “time arbitrage” become the new stock market hustle? Would we all finally break free from corporate schedules and embrace a more natural, chaotic way of living? Or would society crumble under the weight of a never-ending jet lag apocalypse?The only thing certain in this episode? Time is fake, and we should make it weirder.
Last episode, we went way, way back—digging into our obsession with caveman wisdom and whether the past actually holds the secrets to modern happiness. This week? We’re hurtling straight into the future, and seeing how much more UNLIKE our ancestors we can becomeScientists have officially done it. Two people—while fully asleep—managed to communicate inside a lucid dream. No, this isn’t sci-fi. No, this isn’t some “woo-woo” astral projection nonsense. This is real, lab-confirmed brain-to-brain messaging inside a shared dreamscape. And while that sounds cool in theory, Tragic and Bathroom are here to ask the real questions: How long until capitalism ruins this, too?Because let’s be real: if there’s a way to make money off something, someone’s already working on it. We’re talking:Ad breaks in your REM cycle. Imagine drifting into a dream only to hear, “This message is brought to you by Raid: Shadow Legends.”Dream labor. Bosses scheduling productivity meetings inside your unconscious mind so you can “grind while you rest.”Corporate-sponsored dream subscriptions. Your brain is now a streaming service, and if you can’t afford Premium, get ready for sleep commercials.It’s easy to get caught up in the coolness of all this—lucid dreaming could revolutionize therapy, education, even human creativity. But if AI is already replacing workers at a terrifying pace, what happens when the next frontier isn’t automation, but your own unconscious mind?Wake up, sheeple. Or actually, don’t—because sleep might be the final battleground for capitalism.
I hope we all had a lot of fun saying how we didnt care about the Super Bowl—like sitting here, analyzing human nature somehow makes me superior to a halftime show and a plate of nachos. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.In this episode, Pill and Tragic dive into something just as primal as a touchdown celebration—our obsession with looking to the cavemen and hunter-gatherer ancestors for answers about how to live. Why do we keep reaching back to a time when survival meant outrunning a saber-toothed tiger, thinking it holds the key to modern happiness?It turns out, this instinct to seek wisdom from the past is deeply human—it’s how we make sense of the present. But is it always the best move? From ancestral diets to relationship dynamics, Pill and Tragic break down why we romanticize the Stone Age and whether those primal blueprints actually help—or just give us an excuse to dodge accountability.What You’ll Uncover:🦴 Caveman Logic: Why we idolize our ancestors and what it says about us.🔍 The Human Time Machine: How nostalgia shapes our decisions—good and bad.🤔 Is It a Cop-Out? When "going back to our roots" becomes an excuse to avoid growth.Why Listen?Sharp Analysis Meets Self-Awareness: If you like your philosophy with a side of humor, you’re in the right place.Ancient Instincts, Modern Problems: Understand why looking back feels so good—but isn’t always right.For Thinkers and Overthinkers: Whether you're chasing wisdom or just chasing a new rabbit hole, this episode has something for you.Tap in—because the past might not have all the answers, but it sure has all the questions.
Just like illegal immigrants and the doctrine of upward mobility and land of the free, this country is also built on the doctrine of touching grass, slapping ass, and rallying around watching people play a sport as you desperately wish you were them. What if the Super Bowl isn’t just about football—but about something much bigger?In this episode, Bathroom and Tragic break down how the Super Bowl reflects American culture—not just through the game itself, but through the stories it sells us. It’s a spectacle of loyalty, identity, and influence—where commercials pull at your heartstrings, halftime shows double as political statements, and fandom becomes a form of tribalism.What You’ll Uncover:🏈 The Super Bowl’s Cultural Impact: How the game crafts national identity and fuels collective emotion.⚖️ Law and Loyalty: The unexpected parallels between sports fandom and the Laken Riley Act’s hidden consequences.🔥 Engineered Outcomes: Why neither the Super Bowl nor controversial legislation is ever just what it seems.Why Listen?Sharp Analysis with a Side of Chaos: Bathroom and Tragic serve up unfiltered takes, sharp insights, and just the right amount of dark humor.Connecting Sports and Society: It’s not just about football—it’s about the hidden games we don’t see.For the Thinkers and the Fans: Whether you're here for the culture or the controversy, this episode has you covered.Tune in—because sometimes, the biggest moves happen off the field.
Just as Korea’s complexities reveal deeper narratives and it acts as a social living warzone amongst its social dynamic, so too does the Laken Riley Act, a controversial piece of legislation that’s sparking heated debates across the US. In this episode, Tragic, Bathroom, and Pill are back to dissect the Act’s most shocking provision: bounty hunting of illegal immigrants.But this isn’t just a surface-level discussion. The trio dives into the subtle, engineered outcomes of the law—how it could reshape immigration policies, fuel social tensions, and create ripple effects far beyond its intended scope. With their signature blend of sharp analysis, dark humor, and unfiltered takes, they’ll make you question: Is this really about security, or is there a bigger game at play?What You’ll Uncover: Bounty Hunting Explained: How the Laken Riley Act could turn citizens into hunters.

While we may not ever be invited (or want to be invited) to any of Tesla's Factories, we do imagine Elon's Childhood home has a certain vibe to it, a Presence , a AURA. Today Tragic and Pill will be discussing how certain places can draw in the soul and keep enough to have its own. Places that are not just places or a backdrop but are its own character and goal that can be achieved. Boot up ZIllow and lets get ready to move.
Well the new year blues are cleared up and Tragic and bathroom has learned how to talk as coherent human beings again. Apparently we actually have listeners, when uploading this episode Tragic learned that Tragic is an idiot and was only looking at spotify numbers and we now see we have WAY more listeners than we thought. To our Russia comrades we say Privyete. Today tragic and Bathroom recount a surprise encounter with an Elon Musk Lore holder, a former classmate and the discussion expands to discussing bullying, his influence and how it is that America can benefit. At least, that was the goal until Tragic realized he was hallucinating like an AI. Grab your favorite Emerald magnate and prepare to listen to this podcast with audio quality worse than Fyre fest (which is happening again BTW).
The year of 2024 is now officially canon as bathroom and tragic ramble on about nothing for 30 mins. Honestly just skip this one. we were tired.
