This episode goes to eleven! Snoop Dogg and Da Jewels rock the house at the Crypto Ball, whatever the hell that is. Biden and Trump run wild on pardons. The tariffs are coming, the tariffs are coming! Dubya wants to stop the world and get off. The FOP gets punked. TikTok is back from the dead and we still don't know if that's good or bad. The Band's final curtain call. Elon Musk is a Nazi. Or he isn't. If it walks like a fascist and it talks like a fascist and it salutes like a fascist...

Hey. We've survived the fires and we consider ourselves lucky. We unpacked all our irreplaceable shit that has been sitting by the door for the last week. Thankfully, we have an army of online trolls to tell us what California is doing wrong about all these wildfires. Is Crowdfunding a blessing or a curse? Or both? Biden takes his bow and leaves a complicated legacy in his wake. (See what I did there?) The Republicans don't give a hoot about traditions. Unless Democrats violate them, of course. Trump was born on Flag Day, so Old Glory can't be anywhere but at full staff for inauguration day, right? RIGHT? TikTok's ticker doesn't have many beats left, it seems. And Trump is back, baby. Hoo-fucking-ray.

It has been a rough week. Unprecedented events have rendered my hometown of Los Angeles into a smoky and still-burning hellscape. Multiple friends have lost everything, and for some reason a bunch of armchair critics in flyover states are suddenly experts in how to fight wildfires. Most people are safe in Southern California, but none of us are OK. If you'd like to donate, contact me and I will point you in a number of helpful directions. Also, surprise! Donald Trump is above the law. America is not living up to its promise. But I guess we already knew that. Thanks for listening.
