  • From February 12th, 2023: If you were educated in the Failure Lorenz School of Journalism, it makes sense that you would see like three videos on TikTok and decide it’s indicative of a sweeping trend. After all, you only ever exist by hating outside the clubs you can’t get in. We take a critical look at this alleged “e-girl military psyop” trend and, using the immortal science, declare the US military to be in its flop era. Empire in decline vibes, indeed. Put your dicks away and pick up a copy of Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism instead. While you’re at it, cancel your subscription to the New Dork Crimes and give your money to us instead.

  • *Travis Morrison voice* Youuuu are invited…to listen to this announcement as it pertains to Virgil’s Celebrity Book Club and Kenny’s Kino Eye.

    If you want to accept your invitation to either offering:

    Join our DiscordGet in on our Patreon

    Here is Kenny’s letterboxd profile if you want to follow their monthly film lists + reviews there as well.

    I also have a letterboxd but I haven’t watched a film since March. Sorry. I’m too busy expanding my brain with the written word, and the real truth is I don’t have health insurance anymore so there are no more attention fixing drugs for me to take in order to enjoy a little focused film experience. ☹ InshAllah I become gainfully employed or rich from content so that can change soon.

    If you liked the today’s included musical offering, you should check out the band OGRE, which is helmed by the universally acclaimed voice you will recognize from today’s song and the BSN theme.

    Those of you clamoring for a Producer LAIN curated content experience should stay tuned for future announcements! For the meantime, you can show your respect by playing Fortnite with her in our discord.

    Don’t forget to donate to the fundraiser for our friends who have been displaced in Gaza! The Himdan Family is fundraising to afford basic supplies. We also ask you to please share the link as widely as possible so their goal can be reached soon.

    OKAY BYE!

  • Kenny and Virgil don some overalls and get to work! They help the feeble and sickly Bolsonaro launder some cows to get them squeaky clean. Your favorite they-devils peer down using satellite imagery to analyze the dairy and beef industry within the Amazon Rainforest. Pay Pigs and Prayer Warriors, they find more than just one Inconvenient Truth. Deforestation, milk taxonomy, cow fraud and yes, those pesky government cheese caves. You won't want to miss this.

    Good day, Paypigs. This episode we talk about violence in video games and travel back in time to the Clinton Era.

Paypigs, you'll learn a lot, per usual, in this ep.. so grab a chili mango buzzball and listen to ur fave they-devils as you prepare your mid-morning drive to brunch with the girls.

  • Pay Pigs and Prayer Warriors, we need your help! A family in Gaza displaced by Wasreal’s attacks is fundraising in order to afford basic necessities - food, clean water, medicine, diapers, tents to have a less crowded living arrangement. If you have over $1000 in your bank account right now, we are asking that you please donate $5 to this verified gofundme.

    Beware! The boot on your car and those unpaid parking tickets are ruses by traffickers to distract you while they sneak up behind you with a burlap sack. Spin around three times, throw salt over your shoulder and yell "traffy no traffic!" We promise this works.

    In the final episode of this series, Kenny and Virgil dive into the ways the media presents sex industry bosses, as shrewd businessmen or common evil-doers, exploiting a system that allows them to do what they please. We follow the money and crunch the numbers to see how much wealth sex workers creates for OF, and how much they earn.

    It wouldn’t be a BSN episode without a material analysis: from the E-pimps, to the chatters, to the sex workers themselves. We cut zip ties off doors to learn the signs of a true trafficking victim online, and why they are so difficult to find.

    When a man monopolizes a system built on shoving sex workers behind paywalls and dark corners, when sex workers call for a boycott amid alleged AIPAC donations, what can those who want to "support sex workers" do besides mindlessly supporting a company?

    We have a confession to make: Unlike Lil Wayne, we are not in fact, down like the economy. We do not understand the blockchain. But fear not! In part two of our series on the elusive CEO of OnlyFans, Kenny and Virgil brought on resident Money Understander, Greg of Gorilla Radio Show. Together, they look into the lawsuit against Admin Leo and Meta. They also analyze the sparing, neoliberal coverage of OnlyFans, peek inside Leo's Ethereum wallet, take a little trip to Belize to look at some offshore accounts, and ask a fundamental question: When everyone assumes your business is too ugly to look at, what can you get away with even when the lights are on?

    We love living here at Big Soy Naturals LLC, we love breathing and living and I, Producer Lain, have never thought about killing myself. Just thought I'd let everyone know that! We <3 Living! Kenny and Virgil were minding their business, checking the leaked AIPAC donations on their phones while having 2-3 beers behind the wheel, when they discovered the largest donation of $11 million was ALLEGEDLY given by the CEO of OnlyFans, Leonid Radvinsky. This sent your favorite they-devils down a rabbit hole that includes XCOM forum moderators, domain name scams, alleged sex trafficking, alleged family business criminal rings, and many alleged links to OnlyFans coordinating with other nefarious agencies to serve economic interests through state violence.

    If you, dear listener, much like our hosts, have been bombarded with images of sweat soaked men who have the hue of Red 40 espousing the virtues of raw meat diets and how seed oils will destroy the nuclear family, you are in good company. In the first episode of their series "100% Grass-Fed Traditional Masculinity and Big Government are Coming for Your Seed Oils," Kenny and Virgil walk through the grocery aisles and discuss the history of the United States' involvement in intervening in the diet of the public. Why would the government want you to think bacon is epic, mere months after an H1N1 virus outbreak devastates the pork industry? Won't someone think of the poor Smithfield Foods CEO? Together, we will dive into the government funded cheese caves and come out with enough seed oils for every boy and girl and nonbinary child to consume to their heart's content.

    Kenny and Virgil are LIVE outside FuckJerry Headquarters holding signs with opinions on them. Opinions like "jeans feel weird" and "your suspiciously meticulous zionist posting schedule is duly noted." They look at FuckJerry's content before and after October 7th and dive deep into the history of the content-farm juggernaut. Peering into the looking glass made by a tech bro at his prime (the 2010s), your favorite they-devils dare to ask the question: what does silence and action look like for a corporate content creator?

  • Sing Hallelujah, Pay Pigs and Prayer Warriors. The horseshoe of "it's so over" has swung up into "we're so back" territory and Big Soy Naturals is back in new form. Virgil is clicking on less viruses and Kenny is following even less directions as your they-devils help you navigate the world of meeting your partner's parents, telling lies, dating AI Chat bots, and finally maybe putting a lid on the "if Kenny autistic, why cool with friends?" debacle.

From the minds over at Fartstool Ports, two they/thems give you the hottest takes on sex and dating through the lens of everyone's favorite bad bitch: Andrea Dworkin! Together they take on their sworn nemesis, Call Her Daddy. Comparing both the words of a late scholar and a fully alive Blonde Woman, Call Them Stigmas seek to get at why heterosexual women put themselves in positions to be hurt by men who don't see them as fully realized individuals.

  • Diversity win, pay pigs and prayer warriors! This drone strike was launched by a gamer. In the final part of our Drone Strike series, Kenny and Virgil talk about how, as their recruitment numbers plummet, the US Department of Defense has made modern relationships with Silly-con Valley. Breaking down the summits with Google, to the hands shaken on university campuses and in start-up open plan offices, your They-Devils reflect on what led us here, and what we can expect to come hurtling at us, piloted by an Xbox Controller.

  • Gamers rise up! Today, Kenny and Virgil finally talk about a video game. In the 2000s, the military was facing a crisis: teens thought the military and dying in an imperialist war effort was cringe. And in the midst of a PR crisis, a national disaster and Ludacris’ birthday, the game America’s Army was born. A game meant to train your child for the War On Terror from the comfort of your home. Your favorite they-devils take a look on how the game was made, how it was played, and what exactly, the military was trying to say to the youth of America in the wake of 9/11.
