About this episode

The episode humorously discusses the Hormuz crisis and its implications, including unexpected geopolitical consequences.

Our solution to the Hormuz crisis is for some guys in boat captain hats to do Pickett’s Charge. All of this is very necessary, according to an A.I. George Washington, I told to say that. We did the Vietnam Airlift to with one private jet to rescue a TikTok dogwalker. Then we get into all the unforeseeable (very foreseeable) impacts the war is having, including that we’re kinda paying Russia to help Iran. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
