best review we’ve gotten yet

just wanted to say that @junlper.beer sure is making a point on @illconceivedpodcast.com but i’m only half listening because i’m too busy posting. i also want to assure you that this is a sign of respect which will make more sense in context when you listen to this week’s bonus

who wants to have me on their podcast to talk about deus ex, thief, and/or system shock 2

the 2022 tucker carlson documentary we discuss was a surprising ground zero of normalizing some of the most insane pseudo health science figures like RFK jr and even maniacs like raw egg nationalist with insane fascist imagery

new episode of ill conceived where we talk about the myths around the lowering testosterone rates spread by people like tucker carlson in his “the end of men” documentary

Tucker Carlson: The End of Men

sorry the episode is late this week. josh was too busy partying in amsterdam. the edit is finished and will be out either this morning if he can finish putting the finishing touches on it from the airplane home, or later this afternoon/evening if he can’t. ill conceived loves you!

something that an @illconceivedpodcast.com listener pointed out to me is that part of the reason reactionaries are so precious about the phrase “pregnant women,” beyond how it erases trans people, is that it conveniently obfuscates the reality that children can, and do, get pregnant too

many listeners let us know the new xbox ceo is a weird birthrate tech weirdo, so don’t worry we talked about it on this

Jeffrey Epstein: The B-Side

7. YES! MICHIGAN! WITH MITCH AND GREGGY is a podcast about what’s happening in the great state of michigan. i went on to handicap the 33-flavor faygo pop tournament that they are officiating. this one is extra exciting because the listeners (that’s you) will vote on which drink wins!

In case Xbox wasn't ALL THE WAY fucked, Asha Sharma did a show about how blasting one out to a desktop AI companion will save the world (maybe, I'm not listening to it) You should go listen to the @illconceivedpodcast.com though And not buy Xbox stuff

we are aware that the xbox ai lady is also a natalist; thank you to everyone who tipped us and we will be talking about her on the b-side this week

fans of both @illconceivedpodcast.com hosts I’ve finally started midstream with this epstein ep. Interested in their perspectives but not expecting much in the way of info new to me #wellIwasWrong #HarvardShouldFireNowakAndThenItself

I probably ruined the rest of my day by listening to what @illconceivedpodcast.com had to say about a bunch of things I didn't know yet around #epstein but holy shit did they get some good work. So in case you're strong enough to take some new deep punches in your mind... listen to this.

hey @illconceivedpodcast.com

i’m very proud of the work we’ve been doing on this show and i think this episode is as good of a starting point as any

Jeffery Epstein

i've been working through the @illconceivedpodcast.com backlog for the last couple of days and learning that there's a whole political-industrial complex of super weird people who view wombs as meat cannons in a permanent state of total natal warfare against their imagined enemies

Surrogacy

researching jeffrey epstein's connections to natalism for @illconceivedpodcast.com and losing my mind completely

5. TRASHFUTURE is a podcast about business success and making yourself smarter with the continued psychic trauma of capitalism. i went on with @junlper.beer for more discussion of MELANIA, this time digging into the movie as a work of rhetoric as well as its function as a very expensive bribe

4. KILL THE COMPUTER is a podcast about the ways in which internet culture spills out into the real world. we all watched MELANIA at our respective local movie theatres and got together to talk about our experiences. i have not laughed this hard on a podcast in a while

6. BLOOD WORK is a podcast about the economy of violence. i went on to talk about 24, one of my favorite pieces of bad 2000s pop culture. we had a fantastic and wide-ranging discussion about seasons 1 and 2 and how the narratives are reflected in our current moment. bauerheads rejoice!

Surrogacy: The B-Side (PREVIEW)

new b-side episode of ill conceived where we talk about trump accounts, weird tech bro christianity, and a very little bit about surrogacy

Surrogacy

perhaps the most cursed thing i’ve ever recorded just dropped on the ill conceived patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/150071...

hello, our (@junlper.beer and @bosh.worstpossible.world's) dramatic reading of the zootopia abortion comic is now available on the ill conceived patreon. thank you for your attention to this matter

listen to @illconceivedpodcast.com

we finally figured out what his deal is

new episode of ill conceived where we talk about how peter theils fascination with doomsday and the antichrist shapes his ideology

Peter Thiel

Hey you, book Josh on your show

my name is josh and i cohost @worstpossible.world and @illconceivedpodcast.com. 2026, i aim to guest on at least 52 episodes of other podcasts. this thread exists to document those appearances. if you would like me to come on your show, my DMs are open, so please reach out!

Mailbag & Chill: Eugenics, IQ, and The Bell Curve

new episode of ill conceived we talk about the history and current moral panics of masturbation and pornography

it’s out. we talked about pornos

new episode will be out later tonight btw. sorry it’s so late

this is certainly bad. but i want to make very clear that what’s even worse is that ill conceived wasn’t nominated

please have me on your podcast in 2026. i am a capable and charming guest

we’re so fucking back

richard hananias face color inverted for our recent ep of @illconceivedpodcast.com is as horrifying as i’d hoped it would be

2025 also saw the launch of @illconceivedpodcast.com. probably my favorite memory of the year was recording in person in chicago with my cohost @junlper.beer after we watched a bunch of videos from the 2023 and 2025 natal conferences. and that ep ended up being a springboard for future episodes!

everyone listen to my shoooooow

editing an ep of @illconceivedpodcast.com, which has two hosts and comes from 120-150 minutes of raw audio, takes me about 6-8 hours depending on the episode. editing an ep of @worstpossible.world, which has three hosts and rolls for 3+ hours, takes @spocksbrian.worstpossible.world 8-12 hours

whoever just ruined our ill conceived perfect 5.0 rating on spotify i will find you and experiment on you. also if you listen we would appreciate ratings and reviews whereever you listen
