This week Tommy and Ethan are holding it down for another episode full of wild theories, random stories, and conversations that somehow get way deeper than expected. The guys start off talking about Burning Man and the infamous Orgy Dome, which naturally turns into a theory about Illuminati rituals and billionaires keeping the wealth in the family. Tommy tells Ethan about being 22 and meeting a girl at a bar who had him meeting her family at a family party within a month. From there, Tommy gets into his list of older female celebrities who can still get it and tries to get Ethan onboard with the conversation. They also get into My 600-lb Life and the realization that Tommy might somehow drink more soda than the people on the show. Things eventually get deeper with Larry and David Ellison, Paramount and Warner Bros., sending Ethan down a rabbit hole about America, China, manufacturing, TikTok, technology, politics, and whether we’ve slowly given up more control than we realize.
