    Atomic Zero Show #94 Edwin Li

    Atomic Zero Fans, buckle up! This month, we're joined by Edwin Li to deep dive into the controversial "Stop the Gondola" movement in Los Angeles.

    Former Dodgers owner Frank McCourt's proposed $500 million aerial tram between Union Station and Dodger Stadium raises serious red flags.  Safety concerns, ballooning costs, and taxpayer liability are just some of the issues we'll be dissecting with Edwin.  Is this just a vanity project, or is there a real need for this gondola?

    Later, Steve Lee joins the show! We'll be picking his brain on a recent CNN opinion piece: "Jokes about disability aren't taboo. But here's who shouldn't be telling them."  Steve was even mentioned in the article – what's his take on the debate surrounding comedian Shane Gillis?

    Don't miss the fiery opinions flying in our signature "Grinds My Gears" segment!

    Atomic Zero LMT #91 September

    Atomic Zero LMT #91 September

    Welcome back, Atomic Zero fans!

    It's a hot October, but we're here to keep you cool with a jam-packed episode.

    In this episode, we'll talk about:

    Republican Primary Debate: The second Republican primary debate was a heated affair, with no clear winner emerging. The candidates clashed on a range of issues, including immigration, the economy, and foreign policy.

    Yaroslav Hunka: On September 22, 2023, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the Canadian House of Commons. After his speech, the Speaker of the House, Anthony Rota, introduced Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old war veteran, and invited the House to give him a standing ovation. However, it was later revealed that Hunka had served in the 14th Waffen Division of the SS, a Nazi unit that was responsible for war crimes during World War II. Rota was unaware of Hunka's past when he invited him to Parliament. The incident sparked widespread outrage, and Rota resigned as Speaker of the House on September 27, 2023. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also apologized for the incident.

    Russell Brand: Russell Brand is a British comedian, actor, and YouTuber. He is currently on tour with his new show, "Russell Brand: Revelation." In addition to his comedic work, Brand is also a vocal advocate for social justice and environmentalism.

    Aston Kutcher: In 2022, Ashton Kutcher revealed that he had been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease called vasculitis. Vasculitis is a condition that causes inflammation of the blood vessels. Kutcher said that the disease caused him to lose his vision, hearing, and balance. He also said that he had to undergo a year of treatment to recover.

    Snow White and Disney: There has been some controversy recently surrounding the upcoming live-action remake of the Disney classic "Snow White." Some people have criticized the film for its casting choices, while others have defended it.

    SF Drug Test for Welfare Recipients: The city of San Francisco is considering requiring welfare recipients to undergo drug tests. This proposal has been met with mixed reactions. Some people argue that it is necessary to ensure that taxpayer money is being used responsibly, while others argue that it is discriminatory and stigmatizing.

    Atomic Zero LMT #90 August

    Atomic Zero LMT #90 August

    Welcome back Atomic Zero Fans!
    It's been a wild month, with the Republican primary debates heating up, Donald Trump getting a mugshot, and the war in Ukraine still raging. We'll also be discussing the mysterious events in Lahaina, Hawaii, and whether or not we're talking about Hunter Biden enough. Plus, we'll take a look at the latest union strikes.

    The Republican primary debates have been a spectacle, with the candidates trading barbs and making outlandish claims. Former President Donald Trump has been the star of the show, but he's not the only one with a shot at the nomination. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, and former Vice President Mike Pence are all in the mix.

    Donald Trump's mugshot was a reminder that he's still a powerful figure in American politics. The mugshot was taken after Trump was arrested for his role in the January 6th attack on the Capitol. Trump has denied any wrongdoing, but the mugshot is a reminder that he's not above the law.

    The mysterious events in Lahaina, Hawaii, have left residents and tourists alike puzzled. A wildfire swept through the town, destroying homes and businesses. But the cause of the fire is still unknown. Some residents believe that the fire was deliberately set, while others believe that it was an accident.

    Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine have been the subject of much scrutiny. Hunter Biden served on the board of a Ukrainian energy company while his father, President Joe Biden, was vice president. Some people have accused Hunter Biden of using his father's position to enrich himself. But there is no evidence to support these accusations.

    Union strikes are on the rise in the United States. Workers are striking for better wages, benefits, and working conditions. The strikes are a sign of the growing frustration among working people.
