Liz and Brace kick off with chaotic tech jokes—failed uploads, robotic voices, and Liz’s dramatic "Transylvanian cocksucker" bit—before teasing their Celebrity Deathmatch-style Oswald vs. Ruby marionette showdown. Joined by researcher Ben (real name withheld) and Aaron Good, whose PhD on U.S. hegemony and elite criminality was published by Skyhorse, they pivot to Ruby’s assassination of Oswald, framing it as the spark for institutional cover-ups that reshaped history. The episode’s final installment hints at how this moment exposed deeper government machinations. [Automatically generated summary]
When we had the break between two episodes, I ate the leftover lunch that I made.
So no, I'm not hungry.
This is genuine anger.
That was a good computer voice.
Jack Booby is a good name.
I know we still have to call it JFK 101.
We could call it Jack Booby.
Okay, let me do it.
Ready?
Okay.
Inserting memory card.
Wait, what am I saying again?
I don't know because I don't know why you would insert it.
I don't know.
Uploading.
What did you say?
Uploading?
Uploading Jack Booby.
Uploading Jack Booby.
Don't mind if I do.
Ladies and gentlemen, you are getting the worst of us for these JFK episodes.
Every time I, you know what?
You know what?
You're not.
You're getting the best.
When we started recording.
What are you looking at?
It was me?
Nothing because it's dark now and I don't have any lights on because when we fucking started recording, it was like high goddamn noon.
And now it's, I'm here in the dark like a little Dracula.
You do look like a little Dracula.
Hello, everyone.
I'm Liz.
My name is Dracula.
I couldn't even think of something funny.
I'm the fucking Transylvanian cocksucker.
Uh, and we have...
Please put that on Wikipedia.
We have, of course, joined on the ones and twos producer Young Chomsky.
The podcast is called.
True and love.
Hello, everyone.
This is the penultimate installment of our JFK series.
And you know what?
I'm not going to even fucking tell you what it's about.
So.
Well, we said Jack Booby at the beginning.
Well, so it's you might still not get the reference.
Oh, it's Jack Booby started uploading.
Stopped uploading.
We're good.
Start the episode.
What?
I don't know.
What does that even mean?
We inserted Jack Booby earlier and it finally finished uploading.
No, no one's going to get that.
That's so understand.
No, how about we'll do it this way?
Let's just start the show.
All right, freaks.
Well, Welcome back to Dallas.
We have with us, as always, independent researcher Ben, which I really got to give you like a fake last name for this because independent researcher is such a long title and then just Ben.
It's B-E-N.
It stands for something, but I'm not going to tell you what.
And of course, we have with us, as always, Aaron Good, a scholar, earned his PhD writing about U.S. hegemony, elite criminality, and the deep state.
His dissertation is being published by Skyhorse, and we actually do have a link in the description this time.
It has finally arrived and updating the past ones too.
Oswald and Ruby Duel00:01:13
And joining us, as always, are the ghosts of Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby here to duke it out in a long, really tortured marionette segment where we imitate their voices for far too long until the bit really goes dry.
Do you remember Celebrity Deathmatch?
Yes.
Yes, I do.
That was cool.
The like claymation, MTV.
Yeah.
They should have done a Ruby Oswald thing.
They very well might have.
I think it was a bit of a fight.
How could they fight if they were friends?
Like that little spoiler?
Well, so we did start, or excuse me, we did end last time with the brutal assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald getting shot in the gut by Jack Ruby.
Obviously, a very big deal.
And that leads to some pretty wide ranging repercussions and some things really start, I guess you could say, moving right after that.
Yeah, that's right.
Once Oswald is killed, the machinery of the state slowly moves towards finding a way to settle the dust.
And this is most famously, I guess infamously, this comes out years later.
