ORIGINALLY RECORDED DECEMBER 2025:

Have you ever felt like the products you loved are getting worse for the sake of more money? Travis & Tom talk about the Enshitification phenomenon! And yes, that is a real word - they talk about that too!

CORRECTIONS:

• 6:16: Travis meant to say “FTC” (Federal Telecommunications Commission), not SEC (Security Exchange Commission - or Southeastern Conference if you’re a sports fan).
• 15:03 - They still do this. After this episode was recorded, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 was released and received backlash over players being required to always have an internet connection even when playing the campaign solo (with no save checkpoints or ability to pause the game).

We could be talking about we just attacked Iran and took out their leader, but Travis & Tom wanted to talk about something funnier - the government declassifying all files on aliens and UFOs to cover up the Epstein files. Watch how our two hosts try so hard to find something to talk about with this before Travis just devolves to talking about 'The X-Files' again.
