A man in Nashville keeps having great dates, but then they reject him afterwards. Is it because he's a liberal Jew? A woman is in a new, fun, casual relationship, just like she wanted. But he will be moving away in a few months, so there's a clear end date. How can they enjoy themselves knowing the end is nigh? On the Magnum, put on your pink glasses...it's Randy Rainbow! Rainbow's political, musical theater-based parodies are what the world needs now, more than ever. He and Dan talk about his children's book ("Randy Rainbow and the Marvelously Magical Pink Glasses,") as well as being Randy Rainbow in a world full of haters, the special relationship between gay men and their grandmothers and how to have noisy sex without infuriating your uptight neighbor.

This week, Chad, Joel, and Emi sink their teeth into a juicy HR tech showdown: Rippling's suing Deel, alleging an espionage plot. Rippling accused Deel of planting Irishman Keith O'Brien in its Dublin office, where he allegedly ran 6,000 Slack searches for trade secrets—busted by a fake “#d-defectors” Slack channel. Things escalated when O'Brien trashed his phone during a court-ordered seizure on March 19. Deel's firing back, denying it all and pointing to Rippling's own baggage, like alleged Russian sanctions violations. ZipRecruiter's in the spotlight—named a Fast Company innovator, dropping a not-so-novel scheduling tool. Their Job Seeker Confidence Index is tanking, with 41% of seekers gloomy about jobs. Joel adds their podcast's still a dud—and Zip's stock's is down around 20 percent this month. Klarna's IPO filing steals some thunder, boasting $2.8B revenue and $21M profit for 2024, but their AI-driven headcount slash (down to 3,422 from 5,527) raises eyebrows. Finally, Nvidia's GTC conference dazzles with GM's self-driving deal, Yum Brands' AI drive-thrus for 500 eateries, and a GR00T N1 humanoid robot. Is Nvidia still the gold standard? All signs point to Yes. From corporate espionage to AI tacos, it's a wild ride this week on Chad & Chees.

Craig Unger is a journalist and NY Times bestselling author of six books, two of which deal directly with his reporting on what led him to conclude that Donald Trump is a Russian asset. I first spoke with Craig in January of 2021 for the release of his book American Kompromat: How the KGB Cultivated Donald Trump, and related Tales of Sex Greed, Power and Treachery, a week after Joe Biden was inaugurated and I thought we were done with Trump for good. I reached out to him after last Friday's disastrous Oval Office meeting between the orange dicktator and Ukrainian President Zelinsky when there seemed to be no doubt about Trump's loyalties, and invited him back.So, Craig Unger joins us live today at the beginning of the show. He has a new book out too, Den of Spies: Reagan, Carter, and the Secret History of Treason That Stole the White House.If time permits, we'll get into last night's 100 minutes of madness masquerading as an address by the president (sic) to a joint session of Congress. And a new Randy Rainbow song too...

An apology is required! But who is in the wrong here? An NB person got so, so sick with the covids. They had already made out with their boyfriend, so he was exposed. When they asked him to come over, deliver some food and offer bit of comfort, the boyfriend only agreed to drop off food outside the door. Should he have come inside and been more supportive? Or was it too much to ask to have him risk exposure? On a much heavier note, a woman's dad was discovered to have a three year-long affair. Then he died days later. The caller's mom is grieving, angry and bereft, and the caller is cynical.  Rejoice! Randy Rainbow is back. Our favorite parodic chanteuse is here to promote his new book "Low Hanging Fruit," and to dish with Dan about pregnancy fetishes, evangelistic nudists, and how very weird straight people are. A little is on the Micro, the whole salacious thing is on the Magnum.  A man has been with his husband for 9 years. The caller is enjoying their newly open relationship, but his husband neither wants to cat around himself, nor approves of the caller's exploits. Can a slut and a demisexual make it work together?  They've gotta try! Q@Savage.Love         206-302-2064 This episode is brought to you by Helix Sleep.

     Donald Trump has been convicted on 34 criminal counts. If he were a poor man or a black man--he would receive prison time. Unfortunately, prison time for 'The Donald' is unlikely as corporate media keeps bleating on like brain dead sheep. One of the excuses arguing against prison time is the old bromide that 'white collar crime' is 'non-violent.' I would argue that 'white collar crime' IS violent, a type of economic violence against the rest of the non-rich society. This episode will examine the open discrimination against low income defendants when compared to wealthy ones. Given the chaos that Trump has caused, his incarceration is necessary. He should receive no special privileges. He should have to await any appeals claims while serving time in prison--just like a low income defendant. In fact, this single case is the poster child for the inequity in our justice system, where rich defendants can buy their way out of pre-trial detention--while poor defendants rot in jail merely waiting for their trial date. More than 60% of defendants are rotting in pre-trial detention merely because they can't afford bail. They haven't been convicted. Their only crime at that point--is not being rich.  I will also look at the other looming trial aka as the 'documents case.' First of all, its not a 'documents' case; its an espionage case. I'll review the treatment of espionage defendant Reality Winner and that of Donald Trump. This will be  a cursory review with more details coming in another show.  This is a special episode. We will also have the musical parody stylings of Randy Rainbow.  Come join me.  Jeanine

Georgia Republicans rammed through their handpicked legislative maps today, and revealed their idea for a new Congressional map, too, and - suffice to say - it, too, seems to continue benefit them along partisan lines but may run afoul of a federal judge's order and put all three maps up to another re-draw. I spoke with Ken Lawler, chair at Fair Districts Georgia about the statehouse maps earlier today. Needless to say, the drawing of Lucy McBath's House district to accommodate creating majority black districts elsewhere came with a rebuke from her office. George Santos is out and Randy Rainbow is in (town, actually - at Buckhead Theater Saturday night!) ... and the DeSantis v Newsom debate last night should have Democrats less worried about Presidential prospects beyond 2024 at least. The man has oratory skill galore ... but he's from California, so ... who knows.

    This week House republicans elected a new Speaker--and he was one of the intellectual leaders of the Jan. 6th insurrection. His name is Mike Johnson and he likes to pray for people. Mike Johnson led the charge in an amicus brief demanding that the Electoral College results be tossed. He has sponsored legislation which would grant legal impunity to businesses and groups who discriminate against the LGBTQ community--on the grounds of religious 'liberty.' In short, Mike Johnson represents the rebranding of fascism--with a smiley face. This story is truly about the schism which occurs when one alleged right clashes with the rights of others.  We will also discuss briefly a republican plan to criminalize birth control. We will also have the musical stylings of Randy Rainbow, and our Jackass of the Week Award. Come join me. Jeanine

"MAGA Mike" Johnson, new Speaker of the House, got the soft glove treatment from Sean Hannity Thursday night on Fox News, but there were a handful of moments worth hearing & chiming in on. They touched on gun policy (sort of), which gave me an excuse to share some Randy Rainbow work, aid to Israel & Ukraine (Sean, invoking the 'European fair share' trope - roundly debunked), Johnson's anti-gay work & opining, abortion & more. Also, Patricia Murphy penned a scathing op/ed in the AJC rebuking Lt. Governor Burt Jones' proposal to "gun up" teachers in public schools.

This week on PNN/EJR I will be talking about two garbage rulings coming out of what has been called–”the Trumpiest Court in America”--aka the 5th Circuit federal court. Manned by judges appointed by George W. Bush, and of course TRUMP–they have systematically attacked both free speech rights and the right to assemble–providing you are on the left–or NOT white enough. The 5th Circuit has also attacked the right to be “secure in our homes”--with the most recent ruling on police abuse during an attempted arrest. Apparently, if the police enter your home during hot pursuit of a suspect, (even though you are NOT harboring said suspect); they can get away with destroying your home and never have to pay restitution.    That is story #1.    Story #2 deals with a decision stating that protest leaders can and will be held civilly liable for violent acts committed by others–even if the perpetrators are on the other side. The implications for what should be constitutionally protected protest and other forms of peaceable dissent are grave.    We will also have some musical styling parodies from either Randy Rainbow or similar groups, and of course–our Jackass of the Week Award.    Come join me.    Jeanine

The Biden EPA has recently approved a Chevron produced fuel ingredient that carries such a high cancer risk that it could cause cancer in anyone exposed--over a lifetime. This was reported by Propublica as part of their "Poison in the Air" series. Meanwhile, the corporate media focused on the 'horse race' between Trump and Biden--or on Hunter Biden's magical penis. The obvious disservice to the public is vile. This fuel ingredient is being touted by Chevron as a 'biofuel', yet it's made from PLASTICS. What the average person fails to understand is that 'plastics' are made from--guess what--FOSSIL FUEL. Still the EPA has approved this dangerous ingredient.  I will also present the "Jackass of the Week" award, and we will enjoy the stylings of Randy Rainbow.  Come join me.  Jeanine

Ideally, we would have done this interview during March, but honestly, women's history shouldn't be relegated to just one month. Ya know? So today, after we cover the latest news on arraignment watch and the further fascist makeover of Floriduh, we'll learn about the American First Lady who basically performed her husband's role of president after Woodrow Wilson suffered a stroke -- Edith Wilson. I didn't even know her name until I learned of this new book, UNTOLD POWER: THE FASCINATING RISE AND COMPLEX LEGACY OF FIRST LADY EDITH WILSON. Today, I'll speak with the author, REBECCA BOGGS ROBERTS. (Note from Nicole: I need to fire my producer. She left up Rebekah Jones' info on Rebecca's chyron... Her Twitter is @RBoggsRoberts and her website is rebeccaroberts.org.) But we'll start the show with a brand new production from Randy Rainbow, and I think it might be his best video yet!
