This week on the pod. Liv Boeree is back! We discuss how NYC is protecting illegal criminals, while prioritizing getting rid of horse carriages in Central Park, why you can no longer be mean to Claude, the cyber attack on a French grocery store, and why we should be pushing to d/acc. Also, woke continues to make a comeback.. the ladies get mad at Shane Gillis' SNL monologue about how women dress as 'whores' in the gym, Metallica frontman James Hetfield receives hate online for not saying the thing everyone wants him to say, and Kelly Clarkson battles with a small business in Brooklyn. Finally, Liv and Solana compare algos to demonstrate just how we all live in different universes online.-Thank you to our PRESENTING sponsor Monaco! https://www.monaco.com/?utm_source=piratewires&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=2026_piratewires -Get $500 off your Eight Sleep pod: https://www.eightsleep.com/piratewirespodcast-Check Out Our Pirate Wires FLAGSHIP fund on Autopilot: https://marketplace.joinautopilot.com/landing/5890/1390461?referrer=AP Featuring: Mike Solana, Riley Nork, Liv BoereeSign Up For The Pirate Wires Daily! 3 Takes Delivered To Your Inbox Every Morning:https://get.piratewires.com/pw/dailyPirate Wires On X: https://twitter.com/PirateWiresMike Solana On X: https://twitter.com/micsolanaTIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Welcome back to the pod!0:45 - Thank you Monaco for sponsoring the pod! 1:30 - NYC protects illegal criminals 17:30 - Horse-drawn carriages are banned30:30 - Thank you Eight Sleep!31:30 - Don't be mean to Claude45:30 - Thank you Autopilot!46:30 - Should we d/acc?

EPISODE #97: This past week, the U.S. found itself on the brink of WWIII due to the Iran/Israel crises. Will Trump get us involved in another war? To be honest, none of us want to talk about this, but it’s present in every part of our culture right now. To cope, we get into the viral clip of Tucker calling out Ted Cruz. Elsewhere in the news, the hottest new trend for Dems is to get arrested, and the March To Gaza ends at the hands of Egyptian police. Finally, we make the case why every American needs to be in shape, and Solana gives us his white pill, why we are truly living in amazing times right now.Featuring Mike Solana, Riley Nork, Brandon Gorell, Simone Collins, Malcolm CollinsWe have partnered with AdQuick!
