Episode 15: Gas Prices, Billionaires, and Cognitive Tests

Episode 16: The Greatest Hits (So Far) ...

Before we take a short break, we're revisiting the best moments from the first 15 episodes of Room Temp—the weirdest headlines, the dumbest takes, the wildest MAGA posts, and the clips that made us laugh the hardest.

Episode 15: Gas Prices, Billionaires, and Cognitive Tests

Trump’s back at Walter Reed, billionaires are hoarding wealth like cartoon villains, and normal people can’t afford gas anymore. Janesh and Markos break down Trump’s latest health drama, why America keeps rewarding the worst rich people alive, and how even MAGA voters are starting to realize the economy isn’t magically fixing itself. Plus: Obama nostalgia, luxury brands panicking, and Spencer Pratt catching strays for way too long.

Episode 14: Trump Looks Weak. The Economy Looks Worse.

Gas prices are up, Trump’s approval is collapsing, and somehow the White House ballroom obsession is getting worse. Janesh and Markos break down Trump looking weak in China, the Iran fallout hammering the economy, and why even parts of the MAGA base are finally starting to crack. Plus: weird architecture rants, angry Trump voters begging for help online, and America slowly turning into a casino-themed empire collapse.

Episode 13: Yes, It's Getting Worse

Prices are rising, things are getting worse—and Trump says he doesn’t care. Janesh and Markos break down the moment it finally clicks: the economy, the chaos, and a president more focused on memes, grudges, and himself than anything affecting real people. Plus: Truth Social spirals, voter regret, and why even his own supporters are starting to crack.

Episode 12: Same Party, Same Problems, Different Election

Democrats are on track to win big… and nobody feels good about it. Janesh and Markos break down what’s actually wrong: weak messaging, internal fights, consultant brain, and a party that can’t decide what it stands for. Plus: gerrymandering wars, boomer politicians who won’t leave, and why voters are frustrated—even when they agree.
