The Maxi and Honcho Show is satirical news for people who are

sick of the racket. Every episode, Maxi and Honcho tear into

the week's most outrageous abuses of power — the self-dealing,

the donor payoffs, the quiet cover-ups — and decode exactly how

the grift works: who's cashing in, who's getting played, and

what the cable-news anchors won't say out loud. Part comedy,

part investigation, all attitude. Real corruption, named and

explained, with a cast that doesn't flinch. Pull up a stool —

class is in session.

Satire and commentary on public figures and current events.

  • Trump's NDA Plot: 2 Million Federal Workers Face Criminal Gag Order

    Trump's NDA Plot: 2 Million Federal Workers Face Criminal Gag Order
    May 30 2026
    The Office of Personnel Management has drafted a sweeping non-disclosure agreement carrying civil and criminal penalties that would require all 2 million federal workers to sign or lose their jobs. Leaked to Mother Jones, this gag order would silence postal workers, food inspectors, park rangers, VA hospital staff, and air traffic controllers from speaking to reporters about what they see on the job. Maxi Holler and partner Hancho break down the legal, technical, and human consequences with civil rights lawyer Karen Crotchfield, veteran reporter Jimmy Fiddler, and tech expert Clara Biggs. The panel explains how whistleblower protections from the 1989 Act conflict with this contract, why the chilling effect works before courts can strike it down, and how keystroke logging and email metadata could be used to make examples of leakers. The story of USDA inspector Erica Quintana, who exposed contaminated chicken in Marshalltown, illustrates the human stakes. Regulars at the bar weigh in on what they'd do if handed the NDA tomorrow. This is a non-monetized community effort. Call your congressman. Take care of someone you love this week.

  • Anthropic Admits AI Job Apocalypse Coming for White Collar Workers

    Anthropic Admits AI Job Apocalypse Coming for White Collar Workers
    May 29 2026
    Anthropic's Boris Cherny told reporter Casey Newton that major white collar job losses are coming as AI tools like Claude Code replace software engineers, lawyers, and call center workers. With Anthropic valued at $60 billion and revenue climbing from zero to $7 billion in two years, the company building the tool is openly warning about the devastation it will cause. Meanwhile, Trump revoked Biden's AI safety executive order on his first day in office, eliminating required safety testing and reporting on AI used in hiring and credit decisions. Tonight we follow the money: when Anthropic's tool replaces three engineers with one, those two salaries don't get shared with remaining workers, they get pocketed as margin and dividends. Workers pay $20-200 monthly for the very tool replacing them, and Anthropic's terms allow them to train future models on user work product. Pope Leo's encyclical Antiqua et Nova calls AI a moral question about who it serves, declaring the dignity of work non-negotiable. We meet Daniel Kowalski, a 41-year-old Charlotte software engineer of 13 years now driving for Lyft after his bank deployed AI coding tools. The bar regulars compare it to the 1979 robot arms in Lansing and 1988 bank teller layoffs, but this time there's no union for coders, paralegals, or call center workers. Show up, vote in off years, refuse to look away.

  • Trump's 80th Birthday Cage Match on White House Lawn: Who Pays?

    Trump's 80th Birthday Cage Match on White House Lawn: Who Pays?
    May 29 2026
    A non-monetized community commentary on the reported construction of a UFC cage on the White House South Lawn for President Trump's 80th birthday on June 14th, which also marks America's 250th anniversary. The panel investigates the handshake deal between Dana White and Trump made at Mar-a-Lago, the Florida strip mall LLC contracting the work, and the three-layer shell company structure traced by forensic accountant Chubba. Civil rights lawyer Karen Crotchfield breaks down three potential legal violations: the Anti-Deficiency Act, the Hatch Act, and the National Historic Preservation Act's Section 106 review requirement. The South Lawn is a National Register site, and reports indicate park service staff were told to stand down. The human cost is told through Walter Coil, a 29-year park service groundskeeper whose wife's cancer scans are now in jeopardy, alongside stories from a diabetic nurse and a Detroit union steward watching no-bid contracts go to shell companies. With 18 days until June 14th, the panel urges viewers to call Congress, attend park service hearings, and contact UFC sponsors.
