In this episode, Adam and Dr. Drew kick things off by falling for a William Shatner Goes to Mars headline—before realizing it was posted on April Fools’ Day. That sparks a broader conversation about gullibility, aging, and memory recall, as the two reflect on how their minds process information (or don’t). They talk about Elon Musk's deeper motivations, comparing his ambitions to those of legacy-seeking billionaires like Bill Gates and George Soros.
They also revisit the pandemic era, reacting to a resurfaced Lincoln Project ad warning that sending kids back to school during COVID would be deadly, and they break down how so many public narratives and media campaigns have aged poorly. They touch on vaccine side effects, media misinformation, and how personal observation—like watching how COVID did or didn’t affect kids—is often more useful than mainstream reporting.
