BAES 103: Left and Right Unite over hating Palantir
So it turns out Trump loves the deep state after all, and the deep state is...Palantir. ALL my homies hate Palantir and Trump's *alleged* plan to create a comprehensive database on all Americans.

BAES 102: Tom Cruise versus AI
It seems like it was just yesterday that those janky videos of AI-generated Will Smith eating spaghetti was all over everyone's timeline. Because in a short two years we've now reached the point of no return: AI generated video WITH audio is now completely indistinguishable from real life. Join us as we discuss some example clips and the implications for this rapidly growing technology -- especially for the movie industry. PLUS, we're talking about the crypto kidnapping and torture in NYC. Wild stuff.

BAES 100: Is it safe to fly?
Guys, it's bad out there. Like, really bad. It's legitimately dangerous to fly in certain parts of the country depending on who you ask. And that's if you ask people who work in the FAA or air traffic control. So, you know, no biggie. PLUS, we've got the latest updates on China and what it means for the markets.
