QAA Podcast

It is difficult to comprehend how much these people screw up, lie, lie about their screw ups, and screw up lying. But we’re going to try anyway. Travis, Jake, and Liv break down the most recent round of malice and incompetence from the Trump administration and the deceit, deflections, and conspiracy theories being deployed in defense of this bad behavior. Firstly we cover “Signalgate,” the controversy in which a National Security Advisor accidentally added a journalist to their Signal chat about military operations. Secondly we discuss the ongoing saga of Elon Musk’s DOGE and how their efforts are clearly making the government less efficient. And thirdly we cover the Trump administration’s brutal deportation policy, which has targeted people for arbitrary reasons and for their expression of rather benign opinions. We then debunk the conspiracy theory that there is evidence of American student groups collaborating with Hamas.

Jake’s Takes and Liv’s Gives makes its triumphant return to the podcast. This time around, there are no bumpers in this bowling alley as Travis and Julian are nowhere to be found. Liv and Jake throw strike after strike (or gutter ball after gutter ball if you dislike the ‘take’) in this meandering episode where they discuss everything from the Sonic Movies to petty drama between Canadian pollsters. Come for the takes about the Ghostbusters video game but stay for the takes about what’s wrong with ankle socks. Also, a more in-depth conversation about Ship Shows.

After a viral Tik Tok conspiracy claimed there was a “true story” behind the hit series “Squid Game,” Jake goes down the rabbit hole to try to separate fact from fiction. The Tik Tok people were very wrong, and what we discover instead is far more horrific. Julian and Brad are forced to cope as Jake tells the devastating story of “Brother’s Home”, an 80s era South Korean so-called ‘Wellness Center’ that turns out to be anything but.

A burned-out SUV deep in the Canadian wilderness. A charred body nobody can identify. Billions in lost Bitcoin. A trail of fake names leading nowhere. Brad Abrahams is back with the saga of an S-tier con artist, whose latest persona may be our own Liv Agar. What if you took every kind of person we’ve covered on the QAA pod, melted them into a soup, and reconstituted them? You’d get Davis Wolfgang Hawke, a man who could’ve been anything, yet chose to be the villain. This is the story of a genius chess prodigy, Neo-Nazi leader, penis-pill spam kingpin, & reclusive vegan rock climber: The Spam Nazi.

A bungled DOJ stunt handed supposedly revelatory Epstein documents to MAGA influencers instead of releasing new material. The hosts dig into why the binders contained previously released, heavily redacted files and why the optics blew up. They track the political finger-pointing, feuds, and online trolling around the fiasco. A Severance-inspired satirical story about memory chips and island life closes out the show.

Join journalist Anthony Mansuy as he recounts wild experiences from CPAC, highlighting everything from the bizarre Proudcoin cryptocurrency to the chaotic behavior of the Proud Boys. His firsthand accounts delve into the darkly comedic absurdities of far-right activism and the surreal atmosphere of the event. Listen in as he navigates interviews, all while reflecting on the political climate post-January 6 and sharing personal anecdotes that reveal the strangeness of modern political gatherings.

There are these two big landfills up in north St. Louis. One is called the West Lake Landfill, and it is packed full of radioactive waste from the Manhattan Project. There’s hosing and tarps covering these huge sections of fields. It looks like a weird golf course from overhead, or a kind of sore in the land. It deserves to look this way because this nuclear waste site is the end product of a dozen botched techniques for nuclear disposal. How did this radioactive waste wind up in the landfill? Why does the answer involve “men of the Veiled Prophet’s court?” Why did the government ignore the health impacts of the site until long after concerned moms started organizing on Facebook? Can our minds even grasp the scale of our destruction of Earth, or are all of these events the byproduct of “hyperobjects” that defy comprehension by limited mortals? Journalist Devin O’ Shea brings us a sad and spooky saga of radioactivity in Missouri.

Welcome to the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. Your companions are two Frenchmen: Julian Feeld and Anthony Mansuy. They attended the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) so you didn’t have to. Enjoy the CPAC International Summit where leaders like Liz Truss (UK), Eduardo Bolsonaro (Brazil), Morse Tan (South Korea), Steve Bannon (1933 Germany), and representatives from Japan, Australia, Hungary, Mexico, and Israel gathered to plot a far-right international coalition and whine about how their Big Beautiful Boys have been so poorly treated. Join Julian and Anthony as they run into JFK Jr (who is alive and well) as well as a whole lot of January 6 rioters, including one that still has a lot of love for QAnon. This is the first of a two-part episode based on our latest field reporting in Washington DC.

The savior of the West is an anime-loving, missile-launching, mullet-dawning, Hawaiian shirt and cargo shorts wearing 32-year old man in flip-flops. Travis and Brad punish Liv and Julian with the story of Palmer Luckey, the once Silicon Valley wunderkind VR pioneer of the Oculus Rift. His support of Donald Trump’s first presidential run got him fired from Facebook and shunned from the performatively liberal tech industry. The irresponsibly sensational press coverage that followed created the vengeance and spit-fueled defense tech mogul he is today. He’s now on a mission to save the west from autocratic dictators and “woke orthodoxy”, one autonomous drone swarm at a time.

It's been about a month since Donald Trump was sworn into office and they've already begun stripping the country of copper wiring, slashing a multitude of government agencies and attempting to facilitate large scale deregulation. This has led to some pretty absurd mistakes by the administration. Like when they fired a sizable chunk of the department of energy, only to attempt to scramble to rehire a group of nuclear safety workers only to realize that they didn’t actually have these worker’s contact information, as they no longer had access to their government email accounts. It appears that no one is at the wheel right now. You are being run by a kakistocracy, or rule by the worst, although given that the vice president and reddit billionaire shadow president both clearly have browsed 4chan too much, it seems more like a “kekistocracy” at the moment. Liv, Travis, and Jake discuss the lies that are flying out of DOGE and Elon Musk, the consequences of massive regulatory capture, the Trump admin’s plans to declassify old documents, and what r/conspiracy thinks about the new, "uncensored" version of ChatGPT.
