Pancho And Left-Eye
Perplexity.AI says: “Like a flashbang in a dark room, this episode of Unrelenting detonates with raw, unfiltered banter that’ll make your ears bleed and your brain beg for more.

Then we go full thermonuclear: Ukraine, Russia, and China get dissected like a bad op with blunt tools. Tariffs fly, war games play, and the Mac Mini gets gutted like a Soviet latrine.
