222 | Nostalgia is the Currency

The Captain and Mr. Green return with a full show rundown before spiraling into their ongoing mission for the Nothing Corporation, delivering a JJ Abrams mystery box. . Along the way: Iran war, Epstein, CEOs blaming AI for layoffs, Martin Scorsese selling out again, and whether Steven Spielberg is working for the government. Then a deep dive into the SpaceX IPO — is it valuation hype, a rug pull, or just your retirement fund doing the heavy lifting for Elon? After digressions on propaganda, meme stocks, Boiler Room, and the Musk/Zuck fight that never happened. Mr. Green finally delivers the box to a legless robot marshal on Brenner 7. The Skulk Pirates are back and they have thoughts.
