  • Teeth On The Floor
    May 23 2025

    Jay sets out to roast Beijing but derails into a blistering autopsy of his own party. What starts as a brief nod to Joe Biden’s new cancer diagnosis detonates into a rant on the age issue Democrats pretended wasn’t there—right up until the 2024 debate meltdown proved every “he’s fine” whisper a lie. From Biden’s mixed record to DEI crack-ups and the trans-athlete backlash, Jay shreds the echo-chamber reflex that tells voters they’re bigots instead of listening to their opinions and concerns. He even torches the DNC’s latest genius move—handing David Hogg \$20 million to knife safe-seat Democrats. Bottom line: cowardice and brand rot, not GOP memes, are killing the left in the most perilous moment since the Civil War. Buckle up for a no-filter, fact-laced reckoning—and decide whether the blue team still deserves your trust

  • Here I Am to Convince You
    May 22 2025

    Near-miss nuclear showdown in South Asia, drone-packed chaos in the Red Sea, Gaza spiraling toward famine, and a president you love to hate unexpectedly chalking up foreign-policy points—this episode of The Blind Spot connects the dots you didn’t know were on the same page. I break down how a single VP sound-bite can spike global risk, why Europe’s token air-strikes won’t keep your shipping costs down, and what it really means to tiptoe across a “rickety rope bridge” of democracy for the next four years. Expect sharp analysis, hard-won context, and enough rhetorical shrapnel to leave every partisan bubble leaking air—hit play and let’s get uncomfortably informed.

  • John Parker Belasko
    May 19 2025

    On this episode of The Blindspot, Jay dives back into the world of large language models—what they can do now, and where they’re headed. He breaks down how the chatbots you’re probably using are already smart enough to walk you through building a boat, and why the cutting-edge models are operating on a whole different level—reasoning through frontier science, math, even leukemia research. Jay wrestles with being a humanities guy in an age of machine-driven breakthroughs, then walks us through how he used OpenAI’s latest model to outline a nine-book series starring a character named John Parker Belasko. He ends with a blunt truth: today’s models are the worst they'll ever be. The future? It’s all about how many tokens it’ll cost to solve your next big problem. Enjoy

  • The Ramble and the Gamble
    Apr 27 2025

    On today's episode of The Blindspot, I start by talking about the death of Pope Francis, and then note that Presidents Trump and Zelenski met at St. Peter’s Basilica before the funeral, which leads me into a broader conversation about Zelenski’s fashion choices and the state of the Russia-Ukraine war. From there, I get into the American economy after a series of highly unorthodox moves by Trump, and how he's placed a massive bet that will rise or fall on economic results. I point out how Trump's actions on both Ukraine and the economy don’t even make sense by the standards of their own stated logic. Then I move into how the Democrats are bungling their messaging around Kilmar Garcia, before closing with a brief lament about the Israel-Gaza situation. Enjoy!

  • Chasing the Infinite
    Apr 27 2025

    The gap between what AI can’t do and what it can do is closing fast. Half the code out there isn’t even written by people anymore. Half the images aren't drawn by people. You can talk to a machine now—and it talks back. Ten years ago that was science fiction. Now it’s just a Tuesday. It’s getting easier to make all sorts of things, and the world is getting stranger.

    On this episode of The Blindspot, I’m talking about what it’s like to actually live with generative AI—mostly through the lens of ChatGPT. I get into how I’ve used it, why I somehow am no more productive, despite using it constantly, and why it’s so damn hard to tell anyone else how to use it well but also why it's worth telling them to try.

  • Where the Hell Is Mr. Garcia?
    Apr 16 2025

    A man named Kilmar Garcia was deported—illegally. The Supreme Court ordered him returned. The Trump administration said no. In this episode of The Blind Spot, I break down why that refusal matters more than the man himself. It’s not about immigration. It’s about a presidency testing the limits of power by picking targets no one will defend. If you think the rule of law is just a talking point, this episode is your wake-up call.

  • Bad for Business
    Apr 12 2025

    On today's episode of The Blind Spot, I'm talking tariffs, Trump, and how one wild decision sent markets worldwide spiraling into chaos. Look, when Trump first proposed reciprocal tariffs—matching whatever barriers other countries threw at us—it actually made sense, even to an anti-Trump guy like me. But then, as Trump tends to do, he took a solid idea and turned it into a global economic dumpster fire, crashing markets and trashing America's carefully built credibility. I'm breaking down why the real cost of this tariff tantrum isn't just lost dollars, but shattered trust and lost global standing. And if you're thinking, "Hey, he paused those tariffs, so isn't everything okay now?"—well, not exactly. Join me as I lay out why Trump's unpredictable flip-flops aren't just political theater; they're putting America's prosperity on the line. This isn't partisan whining—it's a raw, no-bullshit look at why risking it all to "own the libs" might leave us holding an empty bag. Buckle up, hit play, and let's get into it.

  • Liberation Day
    Apr 8 2025

    On today’s episode of The Blind Spot, I’m tearing into the chaos that blew up when Trump slammed high tariffs on almost every country all at once, sending the stock market into a nosedive and rattling the global supply chain. I’m talking about why no one should’ve been surprised, how this sudden policy blindsided Wall Street anyway, and the scary ripple effects hitting our allies—who might just decide we’re no longer worth trusting. We’ll get into the real reasons manufacturing isn’t magically coming back, the hidden costs of alienating friend and foe alike, and why this could be the biggest gamble of Trump’s presidency. Tune in if you’re ready for some hard-hitting truth about how one decision could flip the entire global order on its head.
