Y’all know by now that any time we say we have “a quick footnote,” the episode topics are about to jump the hell around. Today, we have MANY quick footnotes. Highlights include: Greta Thunberg continues to inspire us both with her advocacy and with her Internet beef, we reallyyyyyyy have the ick about JD Vance and his socials, Elon & Trump get back together, it’s jailbreak season, the U.S. is notttt going to be on the cute side of WW3, and we (finally, lol) say Free Palestine with our whole chests on the mics – only regret is we didn’t do so sooner. Also, Ben closes the loop on everything we’ve said we’d “get back to” from Season 1 so far.
All that to say, we’re hoping that after this ep, Greta would NOT consider us reachable at smalldickenergy@getalife.com.
