Have you ever had a bad haircut experience? Then this episode is for you. We also talk some geopolitics stuff

In this episode, we kick things off with some lighthearted banter before diving into heavier topics like the Israel-Palestine conflict, how media covers war, and the role of combat journalists. We reflect on historical events like the Vietnam War and the Battle of Mogadishu, while also breaking down Poland's military readiness in today's tense geopolitical landscape. The discussion unpacks the messy realities of war, media narratives, and the human stories behind them. From there, we pivot to the aftermath of Mogadishu, the evolution of military aviation, and the role of microwave technology in modern warfare. We also touch on cultural myths, how movie trailers shape expectations, Austin's growing comedy scene, and the wild world of reality TV and celebrity culture. Packed with humor, insights, and a few personal stories, this episode is a lively mix for anyone curious about these topics.

You know the drill folks. All over the map on this one, some cool stories about the OSS/CIA in China and SE Asia, some weird vibes about drone defenses and that random UFO getting hit by a hellfire missile. Plus our usual recommendations-high quality watching, listening, or reading. Also, don't hate on the artwork too much, Grok is doing it's best, we know it's super weird.

Folks,

Full disclosure, we took a different path with this episode. Given the events of the past week, we felt like it was important to have a conversation about that and our feelings about where things stand in our country. If you haven't picked up on it, we love America, and we would really like to see this great nation keep going. So we talked about some of our concerns, as well as the nuances and problems with politicizing any/every event. Hope you're ok with it, we talked it over and were cool.
