  • Love

    Clearly @jarphar needs some sense knocked into them. The fact that you resort to making fun of the host because of his voice is humiliating on your end. It just proves that people like you can’t even find a valid reason to actually hate someone and just target anyone that looks different than them or in this case, sounds different. It’s pathetic! Us liberals have a reason to make fun of you guys though! Because @jarphar, you would rather support a racist, sexist, facist, misogynistic rapist rath... more

  • Excellent podcast.

    Since the country is splitting into far left and far right extremists it’s great to see a well informed and engaging podcast from the sane center. They can make fun of us all they want but I hope the future of politics is represented by the views of people like Jeremiah.

  • Charlie Kirk podcast unhinged

    Huge fan of your podcast but the response to Charlie Kirk’s assassination was wild. That was everything that the problem of our country is. You clearly have only seen chopped up clips of him and I’m not even a fan of Kirk. Be better. Never expected that from you.

  • Not a fan of host.

    Guy Has a weird voice, his politics is basically left bashing way more than is necessary, and if this is the right guy, lied about ta nieshi Coates with zero apology cuz the guy was too critical of Israel. Worst part is this podcast reeks of someone trying to be relevant.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How worried are you about data centers? ft. Andy Masley
Q: What is your main concern about how water usage is reported for data centers?
The main concern is that alarming large numbers are presented without regional context or comparisons to other water uses, which can mislead people about the real impact.
How worried are you about data centers? ft. Andy Masley
Q: When did you start noticing the level of discussion around AI data centers and misinformation?
I started noticing it after sharing a blog post that compared energy usage across apps and devices; it exploded and drew attention from mainstream media like the Hardfork podcast, prompting deeper dives and more public engagement.
What happens to humanity after the spike? ft. Dean Spears
Q: Can policy alone change cultural attitudes about parenting and the desire to have children?
Policy can influence culture over the long run by changing what people think is possible or desirable, but in the near term, cultural and logistical barriers to parenting remain strong; long-run shifts require a combination of better support for parenting and broader societal changes.
What happens to humanity after the spike? ft. Dean Spears
Q: Why might simply throwing more money at the problem not solve the birth-rate issue?
Evidence suggests that large cash incentives don't consistently increase lifetime fertility; people's family size decisions depend on complex costs and preferences, and even substantial subsidies may not change the total number of children people have over their lifetimes.
What happens to humanity after the spike? ft. Dean Spears
Q: What do we know about policy interventions to help people have more babies, or to make people have more babies, depending on how forceful you want to be about it?
Overall, there isn't robust evidence that specific policy programs reliably raise lifetime birth rates; short-term effects often wash out over a lifetime, and the lifetime impact of many policies tends to be minimal. Subsidies or tax credits may shift timing rather than total births, and even larger-scale interventions have uncertain long-run effects.
