In this episode, Gator and Alex cover another jam-packed week of politics, tech drama, and cultural absurdities. They open with surreal moments from the DNC chair race, segue into the symbolism of the Doomsday Clock, and then dive into political theater surrounding Trump’s inauguration, Biden’s exit, and legal showdowns. Along the way, they weave together conspiracy chatter, billionaire power moves, media controversies, and the strange intersection of tech platforms with government influence.
