092 - GLP‑1s, Covid Lies, and Pentagon Surf & Turf: We’re the Idiocracy Now

Jimmy and Alyssa dive into the chaos around GLP‑1 drugs like Ozempic and how garbage headlines twist basic science into click‑bait panic. They break down what these meds actually do for heart health, obesity, and addiction, and why pharma can charge over a grand for something that costs a few bucks to make.​ From there they zoom out: COVID “lab leak” conspiracy discourse, why people say “masks never worked,” and how media illiteracy plus bad‑faith actors keep everyone fighting about origins instead of fixing health systems and policy failures.​ They also rage about Pentagon waste: billions in spending while veterans struggle, and itemized luxuries like lobster tails and steaks that somehow always get approved faster than adequate mental‑health care.​ On the culture side, they unpack a canceled Bachelorette season after domestic‑violence charges, talk about gendered double standards when women are the abusers, and connect it to a much darker thread: the Epstein documents and long‑ignored allegations against powerful men.​ In between the heavy stuff, expect ancient Sumerian fart jokes, dog‑breeding nightmares, and a lot of swearing about how we got to this version of reality.
