Show Summary

Adam begins today’s podcasting talking with Bryan and Gina about an app that helps you locate your friends, and an argument he got into with his daughter about directions. He then tells the gang about having an indoor breakfast while on the road in Oklahoma City, and goes on to rant about hash browns and sign language interpreters. Later they discuss the banning of certain Dr. Seuss books, and sharing a flight with Dennis Quaid. Before the break, the guys take listener calls about ‘Only Fans’ and ‘Occupy Wall Street’, followed by sharing some road trip stories.

Adam welcomes Eric Berger to the podcast at the top of Part 2, and begins by asking him about who else is involved in the current space race. The guys go on to talk about the ambitions of Elon Musk, as well as the successes of SpaceX. Later they discuss our country’s new ‘Space Force’, the fear of A.I., and what’s next for Tesla. Gina then reads news stories about Joy Behar, the reopening of Texas, and problems with vaccine rollouts. As the show wraps up, the guys react to more accusations against Andrew Cuomo, and an all-time-low ratings for the Golden Globes.
