We also check in with Alex to see how his recovery is going.

This week Vik and I sit down to discuss the insane amount of restaurants we visited because we've had family in town. Also a huge coffee and dessert controversy at Sushi Samba, Alex getting his knee operated on, Raj's plans to visit London and Bali and Elon buying a huge stake in Twitter.

An incredibly tough episode as this week we lost Maya, Raj’s cat suddenly.  The first 15 minutes or so covers that for the many people that knew her or followed her on Raj’s Instagram.  After that, we’re covering all the big moments of the week.
