This week on The Pulse Wave—we take you from flash floods in Texas to brain-dead bureaucracy in Brussels, with a few familiar faces fumbling along the way.

Episode Title: “Familiar Faces, Familiar Failures”

Virgil opens with a gut-check monologue: what does “preparedness” really mean in America? Because spoiler—safety doesn’t exist

⏱️ Segment Rundown:
1. Guadalupe River Texas Flood

When the sirens wail, are we ready—or just hoping someone else is? Virgil asks the hard questions about what actually happened in Texas... and what should've.

2. GovPrep…Or Gov Step Behind?

Why does the government always arrive late and leave early? We break down the logistics gap that keeps biting America when disaster strikes.

3. The EU Censorship…Has Set Sail

New regulations from Brussels show how far unelected bureaucrats will go to police the internet. Tommy calls it censorship. Rob calls it foreshadowing.

4. Calendy or Malady

Salespeople are now booking themselves straight into your life—whether you asked or not. Rob has receipts. Virgil has opinions.

5. Shorts Attention Span

Do pants still matter in professional settings? Or has the culture gone full Peloton Dad? We get into workplace decorum—and what’s worth defending.

6. Familiar Faces, Familiar Failures

Another emergency, another recycled leader on cable news. When will we stop confusing visibility for competence?
