Summary
In this episode, the crew is joined by special guest Eric Dietrich to discuss a variety of topics, starting with the hilarious and bizarre story of sailors allegedly sabotaging the plumbing on the $13 billion USS Gerald R. Ford. We then pivot to the idea of small-town mayors ordering military surplus gear like Bearcats and grenade launchers, and how the drug war continues to cause chaos, including a recent cartel shutdown in Mexico. The conversation wraps up with a look at the "illusion of accountability" in our voting system, the State of the Union address, and the surreal rise of fully AI-generated music and bands. ----- Help out the show at PRLFans.com !!
