As promised, in hour two the guys dive more into Biden's farewell speech last night, and specifically his warning about the tech-industrial complex. They take this idea and discuss what's going on with Facebook and TikTok, but get snapped back to reality (and hope for the future) with Sam's comparison to the early days of radio, which were also a media wild west. We check in with Brittney Merlot, talking about outdated but still popular home heating methods (coal!?) but then take a look at the upcoming weather. Returning to the topic of social media regulation, the discussion turns to alternatives to TikTok, set to be taken offline later this week. Later, we touch on a whirlwind of topics ranging from the Consumer Electronics Show to Pat Bondi's confirmation hearing.
