Greg and Mike dive into Olympic controversy, debating whether silver medals feel like wins or losses while unpacking media reactions and athlete mindset. The conversation veers into Warren Buffett, AI scandals, royal family drama, Taliban laws, and the absurdity of modern headlines. They tackle ethical hypotheticals involving DUI checkpoints and lying for your child, plus revisit classic films while paying tribute to Robert Duvall and Jesse Jackson. As always, it wraps with listener corrections, the comedy caption contest, and a perfectly timed Onion headline.
