Summary
I start this episode with 'funnies' from the past week, then get into the Winter Olympics in Milan. How thrilling would it be to have a luge track nearby that you could use? Problem is there are only four of them in America. In this episode, I break down the differences between luge, skeleton, and bobsled. Then pivot to the value of a gold medal and whose has been most valuable on the open market. Then I get into the ongoing cartel violence in Mexico, highlighting how embedded these monsters are in human trafficking and fentanyl-dealing. I discuss cartel brutality, their influence on local communities, and the challenges law enforcement faces in combating them. I also touch on the Mannings from New Orleans, baseball, robots, aliens, bitcoin vs gold, and much more.
