BAES 110: Trump is Winning the News Wars
FIRST, we gotta talk about the Coldplay cheating CEO and Hunter Biden's wild interview. Then we're all about Trump's ongoing war against the media. And to be fair the guy did say we'd get sick of winning. But is this war just a big distraction? And what do his diehard followers say?

BAES 109: Betting on Weird Russian Sports Farms
Emil is starting to get hooked into sports gambling. But that's okay because it's just "human gambling instincts". We're talking all about 1xBet, the insanely immoral and illegal Russian gambling site that lets you bet on just about anything. Plus, the WILD story of how an American hedge fund quite literally robbed hundreds of millions of poor Indian dudes of their hard earned money. Finally we've got the Grok updates and boy is it horny.

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.
