“Yea, and people say that it was inspiring.”
Welcome back to another interestingly informative episode of the Jamhole. We are happy to have you be joined to us. We’re just about done with February here, and other than the lack of rain, things are going pretty well. Hopefully this show finds you well as well, and if not, then we hope it at least brings you some laughs.
Last call to get your copy of Unfit for Contact on the Patronus. I appreciate everyone from Ant’s Patreon giving me some good feedback.
If anyone is wondering about all these bars I’ve been keeping on my IG page, that’s the bit. It’s discipline disguised as chaos. I’m told consistency is the least sexy flex, but it’s the one that actually builds things. Check out the Bar Keepers page here.
Raise your hand if you were completely proper fucked last week. BJ has survived another coma. I just want her to know that I would absolutely podcast from a hospital room if required. My commitment to content remains undefeated.
Did you guys see the State of the Union? Yea us either. One can only stare at the same slow motion train wreck for so long before you gotta just look away and continue on with your life.
The Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt returns. We’re talking a literal continent long brown ribbon of rotting seaweed that decorates Earth like a cosmic underwear disaster. Remember boys and girls, climate change doesn’t arrive as fireballs. Sometimes it shows up as oceanic underpants.
Guess who’s coming back to Astoria Oregon! I am probably more excited for this than I should be. For one brief moment, the show shifts from decay to joy. Do you hear it in my voice? I just want a photo with Johnny Five. In a collapsing world, nostalgia feels stable.
I also found this article from January 2024 about how Stephanie’s house from Short Circuit was turned into a fan focused Air BnB. Check out the house website here. I’m starting to see the pieces of a Jamholia group road trip come together.
California’s housing crisis has evolved into trailer parks, but parallel parked. Van Lords are renting out crusty RVs as unregulated housing units. It’s basically Airbnb meets Mad Max. Everyone is mad about exploitation, which is ironic, because exploitation is how we got here.

A Supreme Court litigator allegedly dodges taxes on poker winnings and throws Tobey Maguire under the bus. BJ confirms that yes, creepers sit at poker tables, yes, tilt is real, and yes, you can absolutely emotionally detonate a grown man by insulting the wrong high school in Butte.
This flows into my current reading choice. It’s another Matt Dinniman book. This one is called Kaiju Battlefield Surgeon. It’s safe to say the predator archetype from the book is bleeding into real world headlines. It’s obviously not just corruption. It’s character type.
Employees now have AI monitoring their friendliness over at Burger King. Allow us to introduce you to Patty, who will always and forever be monitoring your usage of please and thank you, and possibly the integrity of your very soul.
“Tax the Jews.” Wait a sec, are the Jews not getting taxed? What in the world is going on? Basically, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie and Supervisor Bilal Mahmood held an event to cut the city’s transfer tax, which was met by a woman yelling “Tax the Jews!”
This just in, foreign spies use sex and manipulation to infiltrate people, places, and things, sometimes even in the United States! Espionage has always been horny and ugly.
We have a male enhancement supplement from Lockout recalled for secretly containing sildenafil. If your erectile strategy involves convenience store medicine, maybe reconsider your logistics pipeline.
Andrew Yang warns millions of white collar jobs may vanish within 18 months. Writers, analysts, managers, and people whose primary output is information manipulation. Welp, good luck!
A Chinese official allegedly exposed a global intimidation effort through careless ChatGPT use. If your covert operation can be copy-pasted into a chatbot, maybe tighten your opsec.
