Rich is up to his ankles in floodwater, The Duuude just dropped $900 on a new phone he barely understands, and the Duuude's earbuds are staging a full rebellion. This week's rabbit hole starts with relentless Gulf Coast rain and a possible "Super El Nino," then spirals into a Samsung S26 nightmare, a TRICARE billing fight, a taco night gone sideways, and a brand-new flip phone wearing the Commodore name. Somewhere in there: water drop photography, ugly Cybertrucks parked next to a mint 1970s Pacer, Uber's new bus business, a website with a name you shouldn't say out loud at work, and a phone that survived getting run over twice.
