Burn After Listening is a fast-paced news and commentary podcast hosted by Matt Jarbo, diving into the weirdest, wildest, and most WTF stories from around the world. From gator attacks to banned baby names, no headline is too strange, and no topic is off-limits.
In our comeback episode, we are staring down the barrel of World War III and diving headfirst into a news cycle that feels like a rejected Quentin Tarantino script. We kick things off by roasting Disney’s horrifying decision to CGI-erase Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's anatomy in the new live-action Moana trailer. Then, we look at the grim reality of corporate airline travel after British Airways allegedly baked a corpse in a first-class galley.
Plus, Mark Zuckerberg's peak Silicon Valley hubris as he tries to build an AI robot boss to run Meta, the massive smut-empire power vacuum left by the sudden death of secretive OnlyFans billionaire Leo Radvinsky, and the ultimate true-crime mind-bender: reverse-engineering how a quadruple amputee cornhole player allegedly pulled off a solo drive-by shooting in a Tesla.
Buckle in, keep your receipts, and lock your doors. Common sense is officially dead.
