Ep. 330 - Keep Away From Rat Droppings

About this episode

The episode discusses bizarre incidents on a cruise ship, public health advisories, and the Pentagon's UFO files, all with a humorous twist.

People are dead on a cruise ship because someone thought a garbage dump was a birdwatching venue. The CDC, fresh off its COVID credibility tour and a poster advising Americans to masturbate through monkeypox, wants you to take this seriously. David and Brad are not sure you should. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has released the UFO files. Also: deviled ham is real, the airplane boarding process is a civilizational failure, and no one on a cruise ship has ever gotten their money's worth.
