The boys brace themselves for rapid unscheduled disassembly during this week's news update. In this episode we hopefully round the corner on the subject of Elon Musk as we cover his extended crash out and tiff with the POTUS.
We discuss at length the DOGE pestilence and its consequences which we will likely never be rid of. We cover one particular externality of the DOGE austerity and increasing pariah status of the US at length. By that I mean, we ask the question: what if the country was ravaged by flesh eating bugs?
We then cover more of the hilarious Epstein apologia that was already in progress on Rogan when Elon "dropped the bomb" and we also take a second to analyze the various chemical cocktails of Elon and other public Trump allies.
Our intro and outro theme music are from the song "Sardines" by the band Stella Starfox. You can find them on Apple Music and Spotify, and check out the full song here. https://youtu.be/9kF6N0oA0o4?si=wswiL3WoQ2HCM_AO
