In a lively discussion, John and Gordy tackle the absurdity of a proposed Putin-Zelensky meeting in Moscow, mock Trump's dubious claims of settling wars, and unravel the dangers of age verification on the internet. They highlight how these measures threaten privacy and could stifle curiosity. Mike McCabe drops by to argue that fiction can illuminate truth in our dishonest age, critiquing society’s numbness to lies. A satirical rant from Charlie Angus delivers a punch to U.S. values, while weather updates and party invites lighten the tone. The episode ends with a call for imagination and caution against AI overreach.
