Get ready for a wild ride through the week’s most jaw-dropping stories, internet oddities, and political facepalms! In this episode, Alyssa and Jimmy dive headfirst into the viral Ted Cruz vs. Tucker Carlson interview, exposing just how little some politicians know about the countries they want to bomb. From failed rocket launches at SpaceX to the bizarre saga of Las Vegas pigeons in cowboy hats, nothing is off limits.
We break down the art of online debate, the dangers of bad arguments (with a memorable “flea and the burning house” analogy), and why “woke” has officially lost all meaning. Plus: the Karen Read trial’s courtroom drama, the ethics of animal chiropractic care, and the internet’s worst Tinder profile.
