Insanity Check: It Was Never About Policy

Tue, 19 May 2026 02:19:43 +0000

We’re back with a new Insanity Check episode with Kriss & Ro.

One thing we don’t talk enough about is how COVID let us know how absolutely nasty everyone is
Why does everyone who works for Anthropic sound like they’re in a cult?
Anthropic thinks their A.I. tools having access to the same tools lawyers have mean their engineers can operate like they have law degrees
How out of touch do you have to be to give a commencement speech praising A.I. and then look confused when you get booed.
30% of this country isn’t just voting against their own interests, they’re actively participating in trying to harm everyone else. They’re traitors. It’s not about policy positions
We don’t give Mike Johnson enough shit for being an absolute fuck boy. What else explains him trying to defend Congress not getting paid enough and making the case for insider trading
Briahna Joy Gray says she knows a lot of people on the left that would vote for Tucker Carlson for President over AOC and well…that’s because she’s an absolute moron

It's About the Money - Insanity Check

Mon, 11 May 2026 10:18:55 +0000

We’re back with a new Insanity Check episode with Kriss & Dpalm.

Everyone knows the best bird watching happens at landfills that are home to rodents infected with hantavirus…duh
NBA coverage has improved…if you can find it
Oh look at that…Stephen A Smith isn’t going to actually run for president because…he likes money more than his “beliefs”
We aren’t the smartest people in the world but if the A.I. business strategy looks stupid to us…why are people still pouring money in it
COVID got everyone thinking they needed to make as much money as possible, damn the morality

Insanity Check: Donkeys Pretending to be Lions

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 10:45:45 +0000

We’re back with a new Insanity Check episode with Kriss & Ro. We’re seeing a bunch of men doing really horrible and stupid things all to hold on to their own privilege and power. Dr. Cerina Fairfax was murdered in her own home by her husband, former LT Governor Justin Fairfax which capped off a flurry of horrible acts by men in just the last week or so. Worse still was seeing the initial outpouring of love and compassion shown to Justin Fairfax…the man that murdered his wife. Men have created a world in which they have to be the providers and in charge and if there is any change to that, they can’t come to terms with it and we have to be treated like babies. Enough is enough

Fuck Justin Fairfax
If you can kill your wife it probably means those sexual assault allegations went just allegations
“Rape Academy” because…WTF are men doing?
Dave Chappelle feels some kind of why that Republicans “weaponized” his trans “jokes” which….yeah…we told you that would happen
Joe Rogan says he’s political homeless…and then he goes to the White House for something he text the President about
Sam Altman was the target of an attack and you can’t help but blame the things that the AI companies and their CEOs are doing for leading to this

Insanity Check: Death Cult of Stupidity

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 10:28:59 +0000

We’re back with a new Insanity Check episode with Kriss & Ro scammed.

We need to bring back Gate Keeping nerd culture. The “Bros” are ruining it
Claiming you don’t get “political” and you want “politics” out of TV/Movies/Books just means you want to stick your fingers in your ears and close your eyes so you don’t have to every think or face reality
Half of US Data Centers scheduled for 2026 are delayed or cancelled; Sure everything is fine
Covid broke the brains of the ultra-rich and they’re all staring down their own mortality and making the rest of us suffer for it
Peter Thiel is doing anti-christ lectures in Rome because he hates himself
Conservatives come off as hypocrites for criticizing and making laws against liberal things not because they fear them but because they hate that everyone else is happy and doesn’t hate themselves like they do

Two Questions - Insanity Check

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:10:01 +0000

We’re back with a new Insanity Check episode and Kriss has scammed…I mean…asked… Dpalm to join this episode.

The Trump Administration went to war and never thought about what came next
People have turned hating things into content and their entire personality.
Being a Hater is fine if you’re self aware of that.
If 40% of the country is going to continue to be a weight against progress, we’ll continue to drown. Radical change doesn’t come on a 60-40 split
Can you explain your stupid thing with two questions…then you need to stop
We’ve turned college into a just a way to get debt while people hope and pray they get a degree that makes them a lot of money instead of focusing on learning and making you a well rounded human being
Gambling makes everything worse

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 11:17:38 +0000

We’re back with a new Insanity Check episode with Ro.

The Prediction Market Bros are Fighting
People are using chatbots for legal advice during active cases and it’s screwing them over
The majority demographic in America, regardless (or should i say irregardless now…) of political affiliation can’t be trusted in politics
Why is it that “white working class voters” need an economic message spelled out to them but every other demographic seems to understand the assignment?

It's All Fake - Insanity Check

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 11:49:49 +0000

We’re back with a new Insanity Check episode with Ro.

Fawn Weaver is going to Shark Tank because…why not?
There’s no need for “nuance” in the BAFTA debacle because it’s very clear what happened and why it shouldn’t have
A.I. companies are using your chat data to train their models.
OpenAI lowers it’s spending on compute target by 50%. It’s still a fake number
Anthropic vs the Department of Defense…can they both lose?
- “You have to trust your military to do the right thing” is a crazy thing to say but especially right before the Trump administration starts attacking Iran without Congressional approval
“A.I. safety” isn’t about the potential of A.I. becoming Skynet but rather the standards and testing of automation based on A.I to make sure things are secure and don’t break. A.I. can’t and won’t do the autonomous warfare crap these people are thinking up but it can still do a lot of damage because dumbasses believe it can

Insanity Check: Compromising Our Own Security

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 12:22:14 +0000

We’re back with a new Insanity Check episode with Ro.

This is administration finds new lows to hit
Rolling back the Clean Air Act regulations isn’t about cars, it’s about data centers
Elon and xAI are still poisoning a town
Ring’s Super Bowl ad was clearly not about finding lost pets; They cancel their Flock partnership but still work with law enforcement
Even if Ring stops working with law enforcement, the Supreme Court case on geofence warrants may make it so it doesn’t matter

Insanity Check: Selling Your Soul Is the New Fad

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 17:49:08 +0000

We’re back with a new Insanity Check episode with guest, Dpalm (Host of the Unanimous Decision podcast). This is a short episode where Kriss and Dpalm spend some much needed time asking the question of “Why is everyone being stupid?”. From the insanity that is sports betting and “predictive markets” (i.e. gambling on every thing) to the Epstein file stating what everyone really already knew (the world’s richest men manipulating public opinion on things that could challenge their power) to every day people selling their souls for a quick dopamine hit with A.I. slop. People know better and need to do better.

The Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo is now a Kalshi shareholder, which is the obvious and logical next step for Sport’s maddening decent into gambling. What could possible go wrong?
Hobart, Indiana’s deal with Amazon for a data center is a perfect example of why these data center deals are bad. In exchange for investing virtually nothing back into the city, Amazon gets decades of no taxes.
Remember when copyright laws applied to everyone? Well apparently that doesn’t count for A.I. companies. For example, “Project Panama” where Anthropic scanned and then destroyed millions of books without permission in order to train their models

Insanity Check: Don't Believe Your Lying Eyes

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 12:17:53 +0000

Take a week off only for ICE to execute another person in Minneapolis.

Topics for the show:

The media may finally be waking up and starting to do their job. Dana Bash pressed Greg Bovino on the murder for Alex Pretti and it did not go well for Bovino
- Full Interview
Bovino did so poorly on the Bash interview, he scrambled to do a press conference that resulted in him also being pressed by the media and him having to quickly leave
- Full Press Conference
- Also, turns out what we predicted was right and Bovino’s claim about the man they were after was also full of lies as well
DHS and the Trump administration continue to use abuser language “Just do what we say. You’re making us hurt you”
As a Black person it’s okay to have conflicting feelings right now as we watch white people and the media finally come to the realization of what the government and law enforcement does but that it took two white people to be killed instead of listening when this was happening to black people
It’s not just awaken at home but we’re watching foreign leaders also realize that it’s time for a change. Mark Carney (Canada’s PM) gave an amazing speech at the World Economics Forum

The Final Humiliation - Insanity Check

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 11:23:09 +0000

Two weeks in and 2026 is already showing it’s ass. We’ve now reached the part of the program where the Administration is now shooting white women in the face and lying about it like police do when they kill an unarmed Black person. And people (not Black people. We tried to tell them) are shocked. Things are going swell.

Kriss is joined by Justin and Brandon to discuss topics from the shooting in Minneapolis to the dangers and stupidity of A.I.

Topics for the show:

Multiple videos and analysis show what happen to Renee Good and yet the administration is just flat out lying to everyone’s face about what happened (much like police do when they shoot Black people)
JD Vance has nothing better to do than do a press conference to tell all of us not to believe our lying eyes
The people telling us we need to just accept A.I. seem to believe we’ll just “figure it out” when nothing in history shows that
The people in charge of A.I. are the worst people we know and nothing about what they’re doing is about the benefit of humanity

With Great Power Comes No Responsibility

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 12:02:49 +0000

New Year Same Bullshit…actually worse. Nothing like kicking off 2026 with an unhinged Trump kidnapping a foreign leader for oil. Nice.

Topics for the show:

There used to be rules for this shit. The US’s foreign wars and policy has always been problematic but there used to be some sort of process and at least attempt to go through the proper channels. This has completely deteriorated over the last 2 decades and we end up with the mess Trump just created
The US isn’t on a way to becoming a surveillance state…it already is one…thanks to private companies like Flock Safety
- If you’re gonna spy on people the least you could do would be to secure the cameras so anyone could watch them…right?
Politico’s interview with Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley shows how absolutely terrible these CEOs are
Denver’s city council votes to cancel it’s contract with Flock Safety only to be overruled by the mayor
Apparently if you point out and track Flock cameras you’re now a terrorist organization
Pay Day loans are back and worse than ever
Bonus….Tech Companies have found more loopholes around anti-trust laws by just entering licensing agreements then hiring all the people from the company they want to acquire. Fantastic. Just Great.

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check to cover this week’s dose of insanity in the world. This week he’s joined by Ro and well…everything is just really really stupid

Topics for the show:

Everyone is talking about the Epstein List and it’s not even in the top 25 dumb/bad things the Administration is doing
The best way to bring down inflation is to just make up the numbers on the inflation report
Yahoo Finance names OpenAI ‘Company of the Year’ because racking up ton of debt and costs with no actual plan to pay it off is what pass as good business these days
Disney signs deal to license to OpenAI (more costs for OpenAI) while giving a pinky promise to buy OpenAI equity
Waymo didn’t make sure their vehicles could work if the power for traffic lights went out; How does something like this happen (and Waymo is supposed to be the ‘good’ autonomous vehicle company)
Just because CEOs ‘run’ companies that make a lot of money doesn’t make them smart
Roblox is getting sued by Tennessee (and other states) for making an unsafe environment for kids. Good thing their CEO didn’t go on a podcast with two journalist and say really stupid and damaging things..oh wait

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 01:23:17 +0000

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check to cover this week’s dose of insanity in the world. This week he’s joined by Ro.

Topics for the show:

People need to start treating the word “privilege” as if it is a dirty word. It’s okay to acknowledge and own your privilege if you use it for good and don’t be an asshole
Marjorie Taylor Greene is taking her racist bigotted ball and going home
Everything is related to politics so the excuse that you don’t “pay attention to politics”
Is the media just doing propaganda or are is the media voices we’re getting just the unqualified stupid people that are covering things they don’t understand
If A.I. is taking jobs, name the product
Chuck Schumer is terrible as the Senate Minority Leader and there is a really easy fix for this that doesn’t require having people wait until the next election

Number Must Go Up - Insanity Check

Sun, 09 Nov 2025 22:08:50 +0000

Kriss is joined by Justin this week. We spend a little bit of time talking about the Dem wins on election night and the government shutdown. It’s (hopefully) becoming more clear to Americans (the majority) that the GOP’s sole goal in life is to punish everyday Americans. Maybe just maybe they’ll start to understand.

But the majority of the episode is talking about how Tech Bros and their shareholders have absolutely lost their goddamn minds. First, there’s Tesla shareholders approving a $1 Trillion compensation package for Elon Musk despite the fact that he hasn’t actually delivered anything. What’s worse is when you look at the terms of the pay package, it’s clear that is is damn near impossible for him to achieve. 1 Million Tesla robots? No. 10 million autonomous driving subscriptions (they have 12% adoption rate currently)? Taking Tesla fro $1.5 trillion market cap to $8.5 trillion in 10 years? Will never happen. So instead it’s just glazing a delusional CEO that hasn’t actually built a damn thing himself. If you can, try to make it through his ridiculous remarks during the shareholder meeting. I dare you.

But Elon and Tesla are just the tip of the iceberg. Sam Altman and Open A.I. have some how managed to convince of bunch of other rich people that giving them money to burn through is a good idea. Make no mistake. Openly lighting hundreds of billions of dollars on fire might actually be more useful and less damaging to the environment than the hundreds of billions of dollars being thrown at Open A.I to make a chatbot that is a slightly worse Google Chat and also might convince your kids to kill themselves. The financial numbers don’t make sense. The products (that don’t exist) don’t make sense. The damage to the environment doesn’t make sense. None of it makes sense. Except…it means “number go up”.

They Think You're Stupid - Insanity Check

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 22:52:55 +0000

Kriss and Ro are back for a new episode of The Insanity Check and there’s plenty of dumb shit to go over.

First, why are snickers…regular snickers…$2? This is absurd. Almost as absurd as having a Nazi tattoo (THE Nazi Tattoo) and trying to claim you didn’t know it was a Nazi Tattoo. Graham Platner once again proves how white men are given the benefit of the doubt for the absolute dumbest things. It should be that having a Nazi tattoo means you can’t run for public office but apparently, that’s a bar too high. And that doesn’t get into all the sexism, homophobia and everything else from his Reddit posts.

We miss the days when having a nazi tattoo meant you were clearly unqualified to be a politician. They really think we’re too stupid to accept better.

As Well as Expected - Insanity Check

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 10:40:56 +0000

New episode of the Insanity Check with the host of the Unanimous Decision, Dpalm. We start the show with talking about how things in UNC are going as well as everyone (with a brain) expected with Bill Belichick. Also why has sports commentary become so terrible? And Kriss once again complains about how much we’ve just allowed gambling to take over sports.

It's All Connected - Insanity Check

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 10:49:39 +0000

We’re back with another Insanity Check. It’s getting to the point where these episodes are more like weekly therapy sessions so we can try to make it through all the horrible shit that’s coming up in the week. Kriss is joined by Ro this time and we’re talking through some of the connective threads through all the things we’re dealing with.

The ability to see connections and understand the impacts of multiple things at a time is something we’ve seen really decline. And part of that is due to how some of the things we grew up doing either no longer happen or are much harder to get. It also doesn’t help that parents have a much harder time being able to help supplement their child’s learning because they’re being overworked and have less free time

We also talk about how the US stock market is held up by the same 7 companies, all off them responsible for shoving A.I. down our throats. And they’re doing it while packing environmentally unfriendly data centers in populated areas. Also…they told us that A.I. would take the boring jobs and leave humans to do more Arts & Humanities. So why are we talking about A.I. actors now?

One note, turns out Ro & I were talking about two different A.I. cases around A.I companies stealing copyright content. Fun times when it’s so many…you lose track.

Full Ezra Klein/Ta -Nehisi Coates

So Afraid to Lose - Insanity Check

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 14:17:31 +0000

Kriss is joined by Karen from the Black Guy Who Tips.

A good portion of the show we end up talking about the beginning of the discussion between Ezra Klein and Ta-Nehisi Coates on Ezra’s podcast. It’s a good (if not sometimes frustrating) discussion between the two in which it becomes clear that Klein, is so focused on not losing that it’s a set up to not win. Coates challenges (with no real good explanations from Klein) on how to rationalize wanting the left to “learn from” the right in such a short term viewpoint. He brings up the fact that the claim of the “increase in political violence” downplays the political violence experienced by so many marginalized groups for decades. And while Coates doesn’t directly say it, we talk about how insulting it is to claim that the Right constantly engages with those that disagree with them while ignoring all the work and engagement that black and brown writers/activists and others do on the left.

The whole conversation is both enlightening as well as frustrating because it illustrates just how cowardly so many on the left are and how easily they are willing to throw the less fortunate out if it means scoring political points.

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check after some time off. This week he’s joined by Brandon (PhenomBlak) to talk about all the craziness that’s unfolded the last few weeks.

One thing that’s becoming more clear is that this country is being led by people who don’t know what they’re doing. And we’re not just talking about the Government and the Trump administration. Corporate America is showing not only their cowardice but also that they really have no idea what they’re actually doing.

Motivational Coke Raps - Insanity Check

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 11:45:19 +0000

Two episodes in the same month. Maybe we really are back. Kriss is joined by Justin and as promised, we bring good news in a sea of dumb shit: The Clipse are back with a great motivational coke raps album. With everything going on it’s good to see some legends come back with an album that not only feels like they never left but is clearly a passion for them.

If only everything else was that simple. We dive into the idiocy that is our politics and how conspiracy theory and bad faith argument seem to mean more to people than common sense. The MAGA “Civil War” over the Epstein cases is stupid for so many reasons, mainly that these idiots would rather focus on conspiracies over the very obvious and real things that are happening. It’s just a reminder of how chaotic our world is.

We also preview a topic for a future show: A.I. and our use is getting dumber and dumber.

What Does That Have to Do With Me? - Insanity Check

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 10:49:10 +0000

What better thing to bring Kriss out of his cave than Trump and the GOP passing a bill that lies to people about the tax cuts they were promised, gives wealthy Americans way more in deductions, cuts Medicaid and makes ICE the most well funded federal law enforcement agency all while adding $3-4 Trillion to the deficit. Fantastic.

While everyone is talking about Democrat vs Republicans, Capitalism vs Socialism vs Communism, no one is talking about the reality that: People just fucking suck and take no responsibility or care not about anything beyond their own desires. And terrible people know this. Take the “Big Beautiful Bill” and the insidious way that key provisions are phased in or out around key election dates.

Medicaid cuts weirdly enough don’t start until after the 2026 mid-terms
The “no tax on tips/overtime/social security” (which are just deductions and not what they seem) phase out in 2028

There’s a lot more to go over and Kriss talks about it with Ro.

One last Insanity Check for 2024. Kriss and Ro pop in to talk about the pyramid schemes of tech bros that have convinced the population:

That they’re smart when they’re in fact idiots
Leading us down the most stupid path possible

We were promised a Star Wars future but instead we’re getting one closer to Blade Runner. Oh joy. Tech bros have priced the average American out of technology innovations, corrupted the useful potential of AI (Kyle Reese would be so disappointed in us) and convinced everyone that if they just work harder…they too can be a billionaire.

Oh and Kriss introduces Ro to the idiocy that is Turo and people’s really bad business decisions.

30 Second TikTok Brain - Insanity Check

Fri, 15 Nov 2024 14:45:29 +0000

There’s only one thing that would bring Kriss and the Insanity Check back from podcast retirement and that’s the absolutely insanity that is the spitefulness, dumbness and racism that would elect Trump a second time…giving him not only the popular vote but the Senate and House. All because of racism, sexism and the fact that the average American has the thought process & attention span of a 15 year old on TikTok.

Ro and Brandon join Kriss as they talk about the complete stupidity of the “American People” when it comes to not understanding their own finances, how the economy works and why Trump’s initial picks for coveted cabinet positions are even worse than the first term.

The one moment of Zen/happiness is The Onion completing the troll of Alex Jones and buying InfoWars in auction.

This is cheaper than therapy so the Insanity Check will be coming back on a more regular frequency (TBD). No premium content. No donations. No notes. Just

We're Back & Too Old For This Shit - Insanity Check #672

Thu, 10 Feb 2022 04:48:25 +0000

I told you all that you would never know when I would drop another Insanity Check and well…here we are. I was able to convince DPalm to join me so you know that means it was a crazy ass week. It’s also very clear that I’m too old for this shit. We’ve come full circle. I lived through the DotCom bubble only to see idiots going down the Web3.0/Crypto/NFT grift. Fun times. Anyway, there’s plenty to chat about. So give it a listen and stay tuned cause you never know when the next episode will come.

Topics

NFL vs UFC…it’s a good ole fashion terribleoff
Spotify was in trouble before Joe Rogan
Instead of thinking smarter we need to think dumber when it comes too passing progressive laws
Before anti-CRT and anti-Science there was the anti-evolution movement
The NYPD is given way too much money
The anti-black black middle class

The End - Insanity Check #671

Tue, 05 Jan 2021 13:59:22 +0000

It’s here. The final Insanity Check (sorta). Kriss brings on two of his favorite guests, Rod & Karen from The Black Guy Who Tips for this final episode. There’s plenty to talk about since the last episode. Joe Biden won the general election and has won it like 30 more times since November 3rd. Trump has continued to lose it since then and all it has done is shown how insane and dangerous his conspiracy theories have been. Way too many people are willing to either believe his lies or play along with them for their own personal gain. But it doesn’t stop with just the nutcases on the right. The white leftist dudebros are also showing their colors as they’ve finally turned on The Squad and it’s hilarious because of how predictable it’s all been. But we can’t end the Insanity Check without some good “Great Moments in White Privilege” as well as some examples of scientists apparently not paying attention to the warning messages we get from SciFi movies.

Topics:

Joe Biden won the election. Then he won it again. Then again. Then again. And again
White leftists turn on The Squad for…*checks notes* voting for Pelosi as House Speaker instead of letting it fall to a Republican
Adolf Hitler wins Namibia election
Well…it’s not technically cannibalism
Great Moments in White Privilege
- Aunt Becky picked her own prison and then didn’t have to stay in it long
- US teen finds out the hard way that white privilege doesn’t carry over to the Cayman Islands
Do You Even Sci-Fi Bro?
- Planet of the Apes: Scientists splice human genes into monkey brains…what could go wrong?
- Making robots from living cells…because why stop the madness with 2020?
- Racist white dudes prove why aliens will never visit us

Age of Disinformation - Insanity Check #670

Tue, 17 Nov 2020 13:00:09 +0000

We’re down to the final two (planned) episodes of the Insanity Check. For this episode I’m joined by Justin from 3FifsPodcast and we’re able to breathe a sigh of relief because Joe Biden pulled it off and beat Trump in the 2020 election. Sure, we know this isn’t going to solve everything, but not having a dictator-wannabe in office is a huge improvement.

Topics:

Biden & Trump got the most votes in history because this was the most accessible general election ever
Joe Biden ran a helluva campaign
We feel some kind of way about all the “two sides of the same coin” and “I just can’t vote for Hillary” folks that all the sudden voted for Biden *cough* Marc Lamont Hill *cough*
AOC made valid points about moderate Dems
Dems don’t need to “win back” white working class voters…they only need 40-42%
The war against facts and truth is being lost
The Trump campaign really went out like some losers…in the parking lot of a landscaping company
- Kimberly Guilfoyle offered lap dances to fundraisers who offered the most money
- Rudy Guiliani is not only an idiot but he’s leading Trump’s legal challenges and its going swimmingly

Moving Dat Weight - Insanity Check #659

Tue, 03 Nov 2020 00:58:00 +0000

We’re only 3 episodes away from the end of the Insanity Check. It’s more real now as I type that. Add in the fact that we recorded this episode only a few days before election night 2020 and well, there’s a lot of anxiety going on. So I decided that for this episode, I’d take the Insanity Check back to its roots: Covering crazy news. This week I’m joined by Aaron from the Black Astronauts Podcast and let’s just say…we have some fun. First, Four Loko is back with shots. Still no caffeine but what’s the worst that could happen? Then there’s the used condom reseller in Vietnam and apparently monkey slave labor in Thailand. Like I said, we’re getting back to the roots fo the Insanity Check.

We still cover some politics because obviously there’s no way to avoid it. We talk about the insane way CNBC defines “struggling” for those families making over $400k and the coo…I mean…black men supporting Trump.

Topics:

Four Loko is back with shots
Costco takes a stand against monkey slave labor
Someone was reselling used condoms in bulk and we have so many questions (and jokes)
Jerry Falwell Jr is just as much a piece of shit as his dead daddy
CNBC’s ridiculous claim that families bringing in $400k “struggle” too
Channing Crowder explains why he doesn’t mind paying more taxes

The Fight For Democracy - Insanity Check #658

Sun, 27 Sep 2020 23:37:35 +0000

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check to cover this month’s dose of insanity in the world. This month is a little bit different. 2020 might have finally broken Kriss. This was going to be a solo show but Ro manipula…convinced, Kriss to instead use this show to talk about the new documentary “All In: The Fight For Democracy”. Of course this just made things worse (but better for you all). We spend most of this episode talking about that documentary and the fucked up history of this country being really good at violating people’s (namely Black & Brown people) civil rights.

You can watch All In: The Fight For Democracy for free on Amazon Prime or on Youtube:

Tue, 01 Sep 2020 10:02:24 +0000

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check to cover this August’s insanity in the world. This episode he’s joined by Bacon from the ADD Space. We made it. We survived August 2020, the longest year of 2020 so far. Barely. August didn’t let it’s foot off our neck. Some good news, but also a lot of bad (RIP Chadwick Boseman). We dip our toes into the madness

Topics:

August has been the longest year
The stark differences between the DNC and RNC
Far Left “accelerationists” make zero sense at all
Cops always make themselves the victims
We can defund the police because criminals are stupid
Great Moments in White Privilege
- JK Rowling doubles down on being a TERF
Do You Even Sci-Fi Bro?
- 2020 isn’t the year for this (no year really is but especially not 2020)

That's So Georgia - Insanity Check #653

Mon, 27 Apr 2020 09:56:10 +0000

We’re still here. Somehow. 2020 has been kicking all of our asses and we’re still only in the 4th round. Each month feels like it’s own year. It’s been a month since the last Insanity Check and so much has changed. Bernie Sanders is not only out of the race for the Democratic Nomination but he quickly endorsed Joe Biden, the US leads in Coronavirus cases AND Deaths (USA, USA, USA), Trump isn’t the dumbest sitting republican in office (its tough to top asking if ppl can inject disinfectants to kill the virus but some people have) and so much more. Kriss is joined by Dpalm for this episode so strap in.

Topics:

What could possibly happen in a month?
Didn’t know we had to say this but: Please don’t drink bleach cause of Donald Trump
No, protesting Stay At Home Orders doesn’t make you Rosa Parks
White people need natural predators so they know what real oppression is like
New Segment (special for only Dpalm): THAT’S SO GEORGIA
- Governor Kemp didn’t know asymptomatic people could spread coronavirus
- The real reason Kemp and the GOP is pushing to open the economy in Georgia
- Cooning ass Rep Vernon Jones
The Mayor of Las Vegas might be the dumbest politician in the US
Do You Even Sci-Fi Bro?
- Finding love with your wife and your sexbot in the pandemic

The Series Finale of Earth

Sun, 22 Mar 2020 13:31:41 +0000

What a difference a month makes. Joe Biden goes from dead in the water in the Democratic Primary to being the Presumptive Nominee, the Coronavirus pandemic has whole states on quarantine and locusts….yes…locusts. Don’t know who the writers are for this finale season of ‘Earth’ but it’s beginning to be a bit unbelievable and lose the plot here. Need them to get their shit together.

Topics:

As if Covid-19 wasn’t enough, countries in Africa are dealing with millions of locusts
New ‘Shelter-in-Place’ orders for some states
Stay your ass home: Young people gonna be the death of all of us
Remember when Trump said this was all a hoax?
Dear Media: Stop trying to give Trump ‘soft ball questions’
Bernie blew a 3-1 lead in the primary
The NYT and Buzzfeed look at where Bernie went wrong (it’s not a shock)

It Be Your Own People - Insanity Check #651

Tue, 25 Feb 2020 12:28:05 +0000

Happy Black History Month everyone! This month Kriss is back with a new episode of the Insanity Check with guest Tim (@Peoplescrtic). As everyone knows Black History Month is always prime time for foolery and ridiculousness. And 2020 is no different. Because of that there is no Great Moments in White Privilege this month. Instead Kriss is saying “Happy Black History Month” with a few ridiculous tales about how sometimes it be your own people. From the black choir director who thought having an all white choir singing negro spirituals was a good idea to the black producer who thought it wise to hide the identity of a white rape victim by having her dress up with a curly fro and black face. And who could forget all the folks caping for Bloomberg? Now to be fair…for $2500 a month, you might could get some “Mike Will Get It Done” ads on the MTR Network.

Topics:

Parasite wins big at the Oscars
The dudebros made that Harley Quinn wasn’t “sexy enough” in Birds of Prey
Happy Black History Month
Patreon bringing creators pay day loans. What’s the worse that can happen?
The Nevada Debate
Bloomberg offering $2500 a month for influencers to tweet nice things about him
The Stop & Frisk candidate also used prison labor to make campaign phone calls
Bernie knew that the Russians were helping his campaign for months but blames the media for making it public

Hustlenomics - Insanity Check #650

Mon, 20 Jan 2020 16:23:03 +0000

We’re starting 2020 off with the beginning of the end for the Insanity Check. Kriss will be doing one Insanity Check a month leading up to December being the last regularly scheduled Insanity Check. It’s been a fun ride but all good things must come to an end. But that end isn’t here just yet. We kick things off once again with Justin from ThreeFifsPodcast to talk all the things that have happened over the last month. From Tyler Perry’s ridiculous claim of “work ethic” to the idiocy that is the newly formed “Space Force”. We even throw in Michael Bloomberg telling us Blacks that “Stop & Frisk” was meant to HELP us, not harm. Oh joy. Tune in and give it a listen.

Topics:

Tyler Perry and the flaw of “Hustlenomics”
Perry has a history of being anti-union
Woman’s life “nearly destroyed” after she was an asshole and tried to destroy someone else’s life
Space Force is officially a thing
Warren vs Sanders: Funny how its never Bernie’s fault
Bill Cosby’s former lawyer suspended for misusing client funds
Great Moments in White Privilege

Mon, 04 Nov 2019 11:26:07 +0000

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check to cover this week’s…well…the last several week’s… dose of insanity in the world. This week he’s joined by People’s Critic, Tim. We cover a wide range of topics from the backlash to the Harriet movie to white people needing natural predators (maybe don’t lay in a bed with an 8 foot python). But most importantly on this November 3rd (when this was recorded) we talk about the most important thing: The return of the Popeye’s chicken sandwich.

Topics:

The Harriet movie has it’s issues but you don’t have to make them up
The speed and staying power of false information

Abusing Forgiveness- Insanity Check #646

Mon, 14 Oct 2019 11:44:29 +0000

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check to cover this week’s dose of insanity in the world. This week he’s joined once again by Justin from ThreeFifsPodcast.com. We open with the serious (but also not serious) threat from Ben Shapiro…a whiny, man baby who threatens violence because of the thought of his child being taught about LGBTQ issues. It’s amazing how many people use religion to hide behind when it comes to their bigotry. Then we move on to Kanye, the Dallas PD being completely out of control and more. Give it a listen.

Ben Shapiro… studio gangster
Kanye at Howard – We all know how this is going to end
Amber Guyger’s judge hugs her after sentencing and gives a really stupid reason why

One Sandwich to Rule Them All - Insanity Check #643

Mon, 26 Aug 2019 00:15:45 +0000

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check to cover this week’s dose of insanity in the world. This week he’s joined by someone who is no stranger to the show (and also the harbinger of the end of the world), Dpalm. We got a lot to cover, from Disney & Sony having a divorce (at the expense of Peter Parker) to the Amazon burning. Everything is terrible. Except the Popeyes chicken sandwich. That’s great. Allegedly.

Topics:

The Disney-Sony Breakup – Folks do realize they’re both multi-billionaire companies right?

The Mighty Mouse - Insanity Check #642

Sun, 11 Aug 2019 14:29:53 +0000

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check to cover this week’s dose of insanity in the world. This week he’s joined by Tim (@Peoplescrtic). With all the terrible in the world we start off with some lighter stuff: The Mouse Takes Over the World. Disney has a steal of a Disney+ bundle and is killing it at the box-office this year. So much for the idea that people don’t want to see sequels, remakes and reboots. On the more serious side, Jeffrey Epstein is dead and its all very suspicious and Trump lacks the basics of human compassion and emotion.

Topics:

Disney+ coming for our pockets
Mighty Mouse: Disney ruling the 2019 box-office
Battle of the streaming services
The Purge franchise is so good and relevant
Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein commits suicide…that’s not suspicious
R Kelly in jail on federal charges
R Kelly’s “crisis manager” quits after saying he wouldn’t let his daughter be around R Kelly
Trump uses El Paso victims as a photoshoot
Ivanka and Melania are co-conspirators
Great Moments in White Privilege
- DOJ blocked report on White Supremacists being responsible for all racial based domestic terrorist attacks in 2018
- Team Mitch white bigoted dudebros and their disgusting AOC cutout

Topics:

Two mass shootings in 13 hours cause Go America
If there was only something we could do about mass shootings
There are too many Dem candidates and some of them need to go home
Beto…run for the fucking Senate and stop wasting everyone’s time
Marianne Williamson is a crazy person why are we giving her a platform?

Sorry for the delay but the Insanity Check is back this week. I’d like to have some solid excuse as to why I didn’t do a show last week but the simple answer is: The world sucks and it was nice to just take a break from it all. But I’m back. And joining me this week is the voice you hear first on any episode of the Insanity Check: Jaxx.

Hope is a Lie - Insanity Check #622

Sun, 30 Sep 2018 13:26:31 +0000

This time it’s not Dpalm’s fault the world has gone to shit when he’s on the Insanity Check. Kriss has been avoiding some of these topics for a while but since the Insanity Check is going on a two week break, we finally have to cover it. Semi-good news? Bill Cosby is going to jail for rape. It’s still only 3 – 10 years (and he won’t come close to even serving 3) but at last his rapist ass is in jail. And no, this isn’t the case to use when talking about racial disparities in the criminal justice system. In lesser positive news, Brett Kavanaugh is going to be put on the Supreme Court. Hope is a lie and this FBI investigation is just a cover for Jeff Flake and other terrible republicans to have an excuse when they confirm him next week.

Topics:

Kavanaugh has GoFundMe cause…why not
Bill Cosby IS a rapist
Clean up your friends list: You can’t be a good person surrounded by terrible people
Cosby hated the very people that are defending him
Hope is a Lie: The FBI Investigation into Kavanaugh is a fraud
Lindsay Graham is terrible
Kanye gonna Kanye: He’s always been terrible
Great Moments in White Privilege
- Elon Musk gets sued by the SEC cause he was trying to impress his girlfriend
Do You Even Sci-Fi Bro?
- Houston Mayor doesn’t want sex doll brothel to open
