Last Week On Earth With Ben Gleib

Gleib wonders why he’s left handed, Trump taunts Kim Jong Un over the size of their nuclear buttons, will the world run out of chocolate, London has huge balls, a man chops cilantro, and Ben Morrison hops in Gleib’s car to discuss the rift between Trump and Bannon over him calling Trump Jr. treasonous.

2017 is finally over! Gleib takes us through a look back at the banana nature of the strangest, most messed up year to date. Luckily, he makes us laugh along the way. #begleibers #gleibsquad #banana #happynewyear

Comedian Nikki Glaser joins Gleib to discuss the Me Too Movement, the nature of consent, sexual harassment and assault, men’s reactions to the movement and why this can be scary for them to talk about, plus to lighten things up, Iglesias Kournikova babies, why Nikki loves Jewish men, the end of Net Neutrality, sex with ghosts, and human-sized penguins.

Gleib travelled to the Palestinian territories in the West Bank & all over Israel talking with people on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict which was just reignited by Trump recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Recorded in Ramallah, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Yaffo, LA and New York, this special episode dives deep into this age old conflict. Plus Taylor Swift news! Guests include acclaimed author Yosi Klein Halevi, Israeli tour guide Michael Bauer @bauertrails, Palestinian tour guide Yamin of Green Olive Tours, musician Rick Sorkin, an Israeli shopkeeper named David, Gleib’s Cousin Gili Brenner who works as a lobbyist at the Israeli Parliament, a Lebanese acro yoga instructor named Nayef Zarrour, plus Gleib does standup in Tel Aviv.

Gleib discusses the pressing topics of waffles, tattooed lobsters, the scientific push to ban glitter, the LA fires raging right now, robot strippers, Trump declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel, Kim K reigniting the old T Swift feud, and a man made of onions.

For our 200th episode we have former NATO Allied Supreme Commander, General Wesley Clark! The Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, 4 Star General & former candidate for President joins Gleib to discuss war as propaganda, Trump's plans for North Korea, if regime change can work, how scared we should be of nuclear war, the biggest challenges facing our nation, and his desire to try standup comedy. (Gen. Clark starts 1hr 7min in.) But first, podcast favorite, comedian Ben Morrison & Gleib riff on crime committin' donkeys, the return of Jersey Shore, Gleib's surgery, the psychology of Trump supporters, and ear learnin'. THE PODCAST IS BACK TO WEEKLY! SPREAD THE WORD! #braintrust

In shocking news, Kylie Jenner shows us her body and trump comes out in support of nazis and white supremacists. Good week!

Gleib's girlfriend Jacqueline Yunez joins for a much chiller episode. They discuss stadium food, Keeping Up with the Russians, chili on fruit, partial blindness, weird things you've seen, Charlie Sheen, Trump firing Comey, MTV doing the first ever non-binary award show, AND MORE! (Sorry I yelled.)

Gleib's parents Nate & Ziva return to debate if we should celebrate Trump's good decisions & the attack on Syria, then comedian Justine Marino joins Gleib backstage for some complete randomness, including Bieber rivalry, ping pong talk, the Gleib Squad origin story, and of course some kazoo.

This ep is late AF as Gleib intended on recording it 2 weeks ago. While driving home he shares his thoughts on Bannon being removed, Trump's Judgement, and balls on statues. His girlfriend Jacqueline Yunez breaks her mime silence to join the conversation.

During a blizzard in New York John Brevard interviews Gleib in front of an intimate crowd to discuss overcoming his speech problem, how to conquer a fear of public speaking, how we misinterpret the ego and how we can empower ourselves by shifting it, the battle between ego and oneness, and the current state of our reality in a time of "alternative facts."

Comedian Michael Malone join Gleib for an insanely interesting and may we say important conversation about the true, very real danger we are facing as a nation, from both both sides, and why if we don't start putting country first RIGHT NOW we be seeing our last president. Plus, cameo from Enrique Iglesias??? #warmcheese #putinspipe #gettinit

Ben Morrison joins Gleib to discuss Trump's first month in office & if he and his supporters should be given more of a chance. Then at Gleib's show in Tahoe, Trump supporters angrily shouted him down, so Gleib sprung a podcast on one of them right after the show, to try and have a conversation and see if they could ever see eye to eye.

The night before Trump becomes President, Jesse Shapiro & Ben Morrison join Gleib to discuss if Trump will really be as bad as people think, and some of his very weird moves this last week.

Gleib's best friend & writing partner Scot Richardson joins again to discuss the Doomsday Clock, their old National Lampoon Gleib Show, Trump and Putin, the line between wealth & corruption, the freedom agenda, and a weird idea about chemical hallucinogenic weapons.

Chunky B & Gary Adler join Gleib to discuss a stoned ping pong mistake, the realization that Playboy Playmates are humans, why Idiotest is misspelled, the electoral college deciding Trump will be president, and if maybe in some way we need him to be, seal dog combos, starting a charter school, your first public erection, manual stimulation preferences, if reading is still a thing, and some pretty aggressive fight moves.

An urgent message from Captain Kirk about the future of our nation before the electors vote, plus Gleib has a really big announcement, and finally tells you why he called.

Gleib comes up with a formula for humanity, while driving home from Redondo Beach.

Driving with his parents to Thanksgiving dinner, Gleib, Nate & Ziva talk the outlook two weeks after Trump's election, and stop at 7/11 to buy alcohol.

Donald Trump somehow won the election. It's crazy. But let's all take a breath. Comedian Thomas Dale joins Gleib as they sail out of the country.
