What happens when two of the internet’s most committed trolls sit down and compare notes? Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) welcomes world-famous comedian and You Be Trippin’ host, Ari Shaffir, for a conversation about trolling, hypocrisy, religion, and the strange art of making people absolutely furious. Ari explains what he might be doing if he weren't a comedian, while Michael reveals the exact moment he became a troll, and the first time he realized just how much fun it could be. The two revisit Ari's battles with professional wrestlers, the fallout from his infamous Kobe Bryant tweet, and the satisfaction of exposing hypocrisy in comedy. They also get into Ari’s Jewish upbringing, why he stopped practicing, his first taste of bacon, and the hilarious lengths people will go to technically obey rules they clearly don't believe in. And then there’s the Dolly Parton tweet Michael wrote but never sent. What did it say? Why didn't he post it? And was it the greatest troll that never happened?

What happens when you can’t tell a joke anymore without starting a war? Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) welcomes comedian and The Boyscast co-host Danny Polishchuk for a blunt conversation about what happened to comedy, and whether getting offended has become more popular than laughing. They get into why censorship may have actually made comedy better, when an internet joke officially stops being funny, and the fallout from Danny’s Chinese peptides joke that turned into a full-blown social media crusade. The two also discuss the Alex Jones vs. Tim Pool feud, whether Trump’s own supporters are getting sick of him, what the betting markets are saying about 2028, and whether the U.S. economy is headed for a very ugly reckoning. And, naturally, Michael explains the moment he discovered expired medicine isn't poisonous and the bizarre story of the one mattress he couldn't get rid of.

What if the Andrew and Tristan Tate case is about far more than the Tate brothers? Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) welcomes Joseph D. McBride, attorney for Andrew and Tristan Tate, for an inside look at the legal battle that has put the Tate brothers at the center of an international fight over justice, extradition, and government power. Joe lays out the facts behind the case, how he came to represent the brothers, and why he believes the story told in the media looks very different from what he's seen firsthand. Joseph also shares what it was like learning of the Tate brothers’ arrest, rushing to Florida, and eventually having to tell his clients they would remain incarcerated while the legal battle played out. From their bizarre prison conditions and administrative segregation to America's staggering trial-penalty problem, Michael and Joe get to the heart of a question that goes far beyond Andrew and Tristan Tate: love them or hate them, what happens when the government decides you're the person it wants to make an example of?

Is the biggest lie of the last 50 years about climate, or energy? Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) welcomes Alex Epstein, bestselling author and founder of the Energy Humanist movement, for a conversation that challenges nearly everything you've been told about fossil fuels, climate change, and the future of AI. Alex shares why affordable, abundant energy has made humanity safer and more prosperous than ever, and why abandoning it in the name of climate policy could be one of America's biggest strategic mistakes. As the conversation shifts to AI, Alex makes a point that the real bottleneck isn't smarter software, it's energy. You’ll hear why America can't afford to fall behind, why China certainly won't, and why the biggest question isn't whether AI will change the world, but who will have the power to build it first.

Has America lost its moral compass, or are we finally seeing the world as it really is? Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) welcomes mother, commentator, and former TimCast producer, Sour Patch Lyds, onto the show for a deep conversation on the rise of political hatred, the growing sense that something darker has taken hold in American culture, and why she's still praying for the country's future. The two discuss whether outrage has become our most valuable currency, why young people are being pulled toward political extremes, and if AI could become one of the most powerful tools ever created to save children from abuse. Michael and Lyds also dig into the influence of TikTok and China on America’s recent socialist movements, the unanswered questions surrounding the Butler assassination attempt, and why so many of today's biggest stories leave the public with more suspicion than certainty.

Political discourse is off the cliff. Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) welcomes comedian Dave Landau for a deep dive into the ridiculousness of modern politics. Michael and Dave explain how political takes have gotten so outrageous that it’s nearly impossible to make jokes. The two discuss Dave’s new show “Stu & Dave Do America” on Blaze TV, Roseanne Barr being cancelled, the ally flag, the presidential history behind “normalcy”, Hegseth’s testosterone checks, Caitlyn Jenner, the point of reality’s mental breakdown, Graham Platner, the national debt hitting $39T, the K-pop aesthetic in Korea, Ireland overthrowing their government, and more!

Why is protecting children one of the most controversial issues in America? Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) welcomes Alex Rosen, founder of Predator Poachers, for a chilling look inside the world of online child predators and the people determined to stop them. Drawing on hundreds of successful sting operations, Alex reveals what it's really like to confront suspected predators face-to-face, why so many avoid meaningful punishment, and how politics, prosecutors, and failing legal systems often stand in the way of actual justice. Michael and Alex also examine the psychological toll of hunting evil, the disturbing reality that predators are often hiding in plain sight, and the cases that have left Alex questioning just how broken the system can be. It’s a haunting episode that begs the question: when did protecting predators become less controversial than protecting children?

What if the biggest story of the 2028 election hasn't happened yet, but the insiders already see it coming? Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) welcomes veteran journalist and political commentator Mark Halperin, whose political predictions have repeatedly beaten the headlines, for a behind-the-scenes look at the race already unfolding. From Gavin Newsom's uncertain path to the White House and the DOJ investigation surrounding him and his wife, to the Democratic Party's identity crisis and growing civil war, Mark explains what Washington insiders are seeing that the rest of the country isn't. Michael and Mark also break down the donor class's unease with JD Vance, the surprising dark horse who could capture the Democratic nomination, and the hidden political forces that could decide the 2028 election long before voters cast a ballot.

The American Right is splitting over Iran. Who will win? Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) hosts an intense debate between Curt Mills, Executive Director of The American Conservative, and Will Chamberlain, Senior Counsel at The Article III Project, on the issue exposing one of conservatism's biggest internal divides. Is the Iran deal a strategic victory or a dangerous concession? Should America continue policing the world? And is this conflict really about protecting the United States, or protecting its allies? From Israel and the Strait of Hormuz to presidential authority, global alliances, immigration, and Trump's political legacy, this episode looks at the choices that could redefine both American foreign policy and the future of the Republican Party.

Is America heading toward a race war, or are we being manipulated into thinking it is? Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) welcomes political commentator and The Fifth Column co-host, Kmele Foster, brutally honest conversation on race, tribalism, and the narratives driving America apart. Using the Karmelo Anthony case as a prime example, they examine how racial tensions are amplified, why people default to an “us vs. them” mindset, and how both political sides may be playing the same dangerous game. The two also tackle identity politics, the cost of teaching people that the system is stacked against them, and whether America can escape the cycle of racial division before it becomes something far worse.
