Give Us the Launch Codes

Sorry for being late on this one - we got distracted with the World Series. And honestly, can you blame us for being distracted by baseball with all the bile and hatred being spewed in these midterm election campaigns? Tom and Travis can barely scratch the surface in this episode, it's so bad.

Private equity (and Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds) strike again - this time with Jared Kushner and Saudi Arabia buying EA and shutting down BioWare while they were making the next MASS EFFECT game.

A little plague outbreak in Siberia has gotten Tom & Travis a little nervous. It might amount to nothing, but we can't help but flashback to six years ago when we started hearing about a viral outbreak from a Wuhan lab. Wait, was that REALLY six years ago???

Bombing American cities? Live-streamed executions? Halloween monsters giving saving accounts to children? Boy it has been a strange week! At least for Travis, the Dodgers are in the NLCS again.
