Welcome back, Atomic Zero fans!

It's a hot October, but we're here to keep you cool with a jam-packed episode.

In this episode, we'll talk about:

Republican Primary Debate: The second Republican primary debate was a heated affair, with no clear winner emerging. The candidates clashed on a range of issues, including immigration, the economy, and foreign policy.

Yaroslav Hunka: On September 22, 2023, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the Canadian House of Commons. After his speech, the Speaker of the House, Anthony Rota, introduced Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old war veteran, and invited the House to give him a standing ovation. However, it was later revealed that Hunka had served in the 14th Waffen Division of the SS, a Nazi unit that was responsible for war crimes during World War II. Rota was unaware of Hunka's past when he invited him to Parliament. The incident sparked widespread outrage, and Rota resigned as Speaker of the House on September 27, 2023. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also apologized for the incident.

Russell Brand: Russell Brand is a British comedian, actor, and YouTuber. He is currently on tour with his new show, "Russell Brand: Revelation." In addition to his comedic work, Brand is also a vocal advocate for social justice and environmentalism.

Aston Kutcher: In 2022, Ashton Kutcher revealed that he had been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease called vasculitis. Vasculitis is a condition that causes inflammation of the blood vessels. Kutcher said that the disease caused him to lose his vision, hearing, and balance. He also said that he had to undergo a year of treatment to recover.

Snow White and Disney: There has been some controversy recently surrounding the upcoming live-action remake of the Disney classic "Snow White." Some people have criticized the film for its casting choices, while others have defended it.

SF Drug Test for Welfare Recipients: The city of San Francisco is considering requiring welfare recipients to undergo drug tests. This proposal has been met with mixed reactions. Some people argue that it is necessary to ensure that taxpayer money is being used responsibly, while others argue that it is discriminatory and stigmatizing.
