Episode 58 - War Peeks And Lab Leaks


Listen Later

Jen and Noam commemorate the one year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by discussing the dumbest Ukraine war takes of the present and the past, and wonder where all the war footage is (jk it’s on Twitter we see it every day). 

And in late breaking news - it’s ok to talk about lab leak theory in public now! In fact there seems to be some coalescing of intelligence that it may in fact be the explanation for the COVID pandemic! 

We will be on our regular Callin schedule this week of Wednesday night at 8:30 Eastern, come join us live!
