Listen Later

Starting the Monday off with some rants, Alex has a lot to say about NFTs and the current sketchy things happening there, including the insider trading scandal at OpenSea. He explains how people are spamming one dollar bids on expensive works and tricking people into sending them so they can resell them for thousands of dollars, and how to prevent this from happening to you.
The Pandora Papers were just released, which means Alex is extremely angry about all of the new financial information we're getting about world leaders and wealthy elite, and their tax avoidance methods. Alex turns into Comrade Alex for a second to talk about the disproportionate distribution of wealth in the world, and complains some more about billionaires who don't pay taxes and don't pay their employees fair wages.
Alex revisits the vaccine drama, and has a lot to say about the bad actors on apps like TikTok who are still spreading false anti-vax information, and calls for TikTok to do something about these people.
There's a short review of the most recent SNL season premiere, and Owen Wilson really won Alex over with the Lightning McQueen skit. Also, Drake gets meme'd on a ton in the "Drake the type of dude to..." twitter trend, and Alex shares some that he created.
The podcast them pivots to R. Kelly, and how he faces life in prison after being found guilty on all counts, finally being held accountable for his terrible actions.
Ted Cruz gets roasted as always, the latest Karen freakouts get reacted to, and Alex helps someone with advice on Reddit.
