Episode 344: President Biting vs Jonald thee Trump

·1 hr 12 min·5 clips

Scientists discovered orcas are sinking yachts simply because they have too much free time from abundant tuna.

The episode opens with John and Henry joking about felonies and Taco Bell's marketing. They discuss their drinks, including a non-alcoholic beer and a Marvel-themed Coke. The conversation shifts to video games like Multiversus and Maneater, a shark RPG set in Louisiana. Henry introduces a news story about orcas attacking yachts, citing an article from New Atlas by Bronwyn Thompson. Scientists found that an explosion in bluefin tuna population has left orcas with leisure time, leading younger males to damage boats through 'rudder bumping.' The hosts humorously frame this as orcas engaging in 'Gen Z eat-the-rich' behavior. They then critique Google's AI search, highlighting how it recommended using glue on pizza based on an 11-year-old Reddit comment by 'fuck Smith.' John references an interview where Google's CEO blamed users for poor search results. The hosts discuss broader tech disillusionment, mentioning an article by Ed Zitron about the decline of Google. They transition to political news, covering Donald Trump's conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records and the upcoming sentencing on July 11. Reactions include a California sheriff's comment and Trump denying he ever said 'lock her up.' The hosts briefly mention RFK Jr.'s campaign, Biden's border executive order, and the election of Claudia Sheinbaum in Mexico. They end by recommending Jenny Nicholson's video essay on the Star Wars hotel and encouraging listeners to share the podcast.

Zero Credits starts with Arizona State Representative Andy Biggs's claim that the average American commits three felonies a day, then turns the premise into a loose workday calendar of crimes: felony number four, a Taco Bell detour, and a fourth-crime night out.
