  • The Rules Still Matter. Somebody Tell the Judges. | October 2, 2026

    The Rules Still Matter. Somebody Tell the Judges. | October 2, 2026
    Oct 2 2026
    The rules still matter. This week's news raises the question of who is willing to enforce them.

    Rick Robinson welcomes Amy Curtis and BZ for an outspoken Weekend News Round Up covering Pete Hegseth's military standards remarks, the reported attack aboard a flydubai flight, and the panel's concerns about aviation security. The conversation moves into Saudi nuclear cooperation, China and technology security, and the difference between being educated and actually learning something.

    Back home, they discuss a Texas custody tragedy, an attempted execution, the Cornell allegations and presumption of innocence, and a Minnesota fraud report whose redactions frustrate Rick. The final stretch centers on the panel's criticism of a noncitizen-voting ruling, judicial authority, and pressure on conservative attorneys, before Amy turns to Wisconsin's governor's race and Rick closes with his take on jobs, campaign spending, and why showing up to vote matters.

    Sharp opinions, dark humor, and a week that refuses to behave. Contains explicit language and discussion of violence.

  • The Week Everything Picked A Fight: China, Citizenship Checks and Viral Narratives

    The Week Everything Picked A Fight: China, Citizenship Checks and Viral Narratives
    Sep 26 2026
    Amy Curtis and BZ join Rick Robinson for a lively Friday roundtable. They start with the Trump administration’s China policy, TikTok, and a debate over Chinese students in the United States.

    The conversation moves through a Michigan political controversy, a Massachusetts bar caught in the pandemic culture wars, immigration, religious and political tensions, and a court development involving citizenship verification for voter rolls. Later, the panel discusses the narratives around deaths in Mississippi, the murder of a health insurance executive, Grok in X group chats, Wisconsin ballot questions, a reported shareholder lawsuit involving The New York Times, and a few of the week’s stranger stories.

    The show closes with the panelists’ projects and where to find them.

  • Never Forget, Never Hallucinate, and Never Bet Against the NFL

    Never Forget, Never Hallucinate, and Never Bet Against the NFL
    Sep 12 2026
    Rick Robinson, Amy Curtis, Brad Slager, and the Bloviating Zeppelin gather for a Weekend News Roundup that begins with the solemn weight of September 11—and eventually finds its way back to the political absurdity required to survive a Friday.

    The panel reflects on how September 11 transformed American life, whether the country kept the promises it made after the attacks, and why younger generations cannot fully understand the world that existed before the Patriot Act, Homeland Security, and the TSA. The discussion becomes a forceful debate over Islamist ideology, immigration, Western institutions, government failures, and the danger of sanitizing history until its lessons disappear.

    The conversation later turns toward the Democratic Socialists of America, political messaging, Brad’s new position at Mediaite, Hollywood economics, movie-theater popcorn, and a Republican convention attempting to compete with the opening of the NFL season.

    Finally, a New Mexico attorney learns why ChatGPT should not be trusted to invent testimony, witnesses, or legal precedent for a murder appeal. The panel examines artificial-intelligence hallucinations, competing writing assistants, online misinformation, Community Notes, and Donald Trump’s recurring fascination with $5,000 checks.

    It’s remembrance, politics, movies, artificial intelligence, and badly timed conventions—Weekend News Roundup style.
