Waymo Way-No
from West Of Knowhere Hosted by West Of Knowhere
This episode of West of Knowhere breaks down the week’s biggest stories: Alex Murdaugh’s murder convictions were overturned and a retrial ordered; the Pentagon is seeking a record budget despite never passing audits; and the FBI is searching for Monica Witt on espionage allegations while its director faces scrutiny over snorkeling at the USS Arizona memorial. We also cover cultural and tech oddities. Mel Gibson’s ivermectin claims and a surge in prescriptions, driverless Waymo taxis circling neighborhoods empty, a controversial live streamer tied to a Tennessee shooting, and an SNL sketch that became real. Plus, an "Am I the Asshole" listener case about being forced into saying yes to a family sleepover, listener shout-outs, and the hosts’ banter.
