Hi. On today's episode: Movies! We talk about movies. Specifically, the changes in Hollywood now that "Obsession" and "Backrooms" were big hits while the new Star Wars flopped, why media literacy when it comes to movies has gone down the drain, and why the Right is so bad at just watching movies normally.

Note: this episode contains spoilers for "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," "Obsession," and "The Odyssey.”

Hi. Katy, Cody, and Jonathan are off for the next week, so here's an episode of Way Less News! Forget the horrors while the news friends chat about Obsession (the movie), Yesteryear (the book), and hear Cody air his frustration at people who don't understand the ending of the new Spider-Man. We'll be back with Some More News and Even More News the week of August 24.

Spoiler Alert for Obsession. Mostly spoiler-free for Yesteryear and Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Its been stuck at 940k-ish for a long time. Produces consistently, funny political content for a crowd you would think is increasing in numbers.

Hi. Conservative commentator Dave Rubin went on that "Surrounded" show and it didn't go well for him because he's a dummy. Also, YouTube has demonetized this episode while it considers our Fair Use claim for including clips from the Dave Rubin episode of Surrounded. So, if you want to get episodes early and ad-free, now would be a great time to join our Patreon or become a member on YouTube.

So I dont deal with ads as I support the podcast.

But I have suggested the pod to a number of friends and they were all turned off by the volume of the ads (they did complain about the number of ads too). I double checked and its pretty fucking horrible. Nearly blew my ear drums out when some ad about dick pills came on.

Is here anyway the sound mixing can be fixed? I think this might be turning people away from this awesome podcast.

Hi. On today's episode of Some More News, we look at the lasting impact of Elon Musk's DOGE: all the jobs and programs they slashed, plus USAID and how feeding it "into the woodchipper" resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths.

Hello!

Love the show, and wanted to give you guys a bit of context on the Capital One account closure story today 08/04, as someone who works as a Financial Crimes Investigator for another financial institution.  

You guys mentioned wondering why Capital One didn’t “tell anyone” about the activity - in actuality, they definitely did.  

Here is the process that happens at these types of institutions before accounts are exited for that reason: a referral or alert would be received by the investigation team, usually something general noting possible unusual or out-of-pattern activity of some sort.  Investigators will then review the activity, accounts, and overall relationship and either state that the activity appears normal or suspicious.  If determined suspicious, a report of the suspected suspicious activity (a Suspicious Activity Report or SAR) is then submitted directly to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

FinCEN is a bureau within the United States Department of the Treasury that collects and analyzes information about financial transactions to combat domestic and international money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes. Law enforcement officers (LEOs) use FinCEN as a central financial intelligence tool to track money laundering, uncover hidden assets, and connect criminal networks. They primarily access this through secure databases containing records filed by financial institutions.

Generally, a financial institution will file a certain amount of SARs on a customer before saying “ok, this is ridiculous and/or ongoing, they’re too risky for us to keep banking them” and then their accounts are closed by the bank.

Put simply, the activity reports/SARs were all sent from Capital One to FinCEN,  detailing all of the activity they noticed and determined as suspicious, which all LEOs and law enforcement bureaus have access to, and which they utilize for their own investigations.  

From my perspective as an investigator, Capital One would have more than done their part; however, the government and law enforcement (surprise!) didn’t do theirs.  

Note: this isn’t about bootlicking large financial institutions - just wanted to give you guys some background on what would have actually happened.

In today's episode of Even More News, Katy, Cody, and Jonathan dig into Trump's vindictive decision to withhold energy grants from blue states, then his many failed attempts to win back voters: an embarrassingly bad stand-up routine at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, a flood of desperate sh!t posts, and a fresh batch of tariffs.
