About this episode
This episode covers a range of topics including bad doctors, NASA's Artemis 2 mission, Oracle layoffs, and a discussion on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.
This week we're going all over the map — and we wouldn't have it any other way. 🐀 We kick things off with a rant about bad doctors. You know the type. The ones who gaslight, dismiss, and then bill you for the privilege. We're naming names (well, not legally, but you know what we mean). Then we blast off with Artemis 2 — NASA's first crewed lunar mission in over 50 years is actually happening. We break down who's on board, what could go wrong, and why the moon suddenly has a hype problem. Oracle is handing out pink slips again. We dig into the latest round of layoffs, what it means for the cloud wars, and whether Larry Ellison is playing 4D chess or just vibing. Star Trek: Starfleet Academy just dropped, and we have thoughts. Lots of them. Is this the Trek revival we've been begging for, or did they just slap a communicator badge on a CW drama? And finally — Mountain Oysters. Yes, those mountain oysters. We explain what they are, where they come from, and whether any of us would eat them. (Spoiler: the vote was not unanimous.) 🎵 Music from Nick the Rat Radio on SoundCloud: 1. Bash Shell — DarkSideOfIntelligence 2. aTribute — Dreams For Which There Are No 3. Purrple Panther —…
