Mookie Spitz turns the tables on Ali Rizvi, and invites the Canadian podcaster, tweeter, and author onto his own show. They dive into the swirling chaos of modern masculinity, media madness, and midlife musings -- from praising Mick Jagger as the bisexual apex predator of rock, to wondering WTF happened to dude-bro billionaires including Musk and Zuckerberg. Along the way, they toast and roast Trump, break up with Bill Maher and Neil Degrasse Tyson, and BBQ behind-the-scenes deer steaks from Rizvi’s Joe Rogan experience. Toss in Nietzsche, Carl Jung, and a dash of geopolitical drama with some existential dread about democracy and AI's future, and you’ve got a whirlwind of brainy banter that rocks harder than a Scorpions reunion tour. Think philosophy meets pop culture with the zany intellectual energy of a bar fight in the lobby of a TED Talk.
