  • Talking space servers, FIFA trash, Melania reviews and who's Jeffrey's friend
    Feb 4 2026

    Most of the biggest tech, political, and cultural figures are entangled in scandal—and this episode exposes the bizarre, shocking, and outright hilarious secrets hiding behind the world’s elite. From Elon Musk’s space-age corporate shenanigans and Tesla’s uncertain future to Russia’s brutal tactics in Ukraine—and yes, even Melania’s box-office flop—nothing is off-limits.

    The hosts break down Elon’s AI ambitions of launching data centers into space within just two to three years, despite the obvious logistical nightmares. They reveal how SpaceX’s star-studded profits are propped up by government handouts and compare government-funded innovations to private sector game-changers like reusable rockets. Plus, get the inside scoop on how Tesla’s valuation might be just as fragile as your confidence in Elon’s promises.

    But it doesn’t stop there—prepare for a jaw-dropping look at international conflicts, from Russia’s brutal attacks on civilians in Ukraine to Putin’s fleeting ceasefire, all sprinkled with hilarious takes on how the world’s most powerful leaders bend truth like a cheap plastic spoon. And yes, they get deep into the Epstein files leaking explosive truths about the world’s richest and most notorious figures—think billionaires, sports owners, and the royal rich—whose dark secrets threaten to dismantle our perception of power and money.

    With sharp wit and fearless analysis, this episode exposes the corruption, hypocrisy, and disturbing truths lurking behind headlines, while making sure you leave with new knowledge and a whole lot of skepticism. Perfect for anyone tired of fake news, political cover-ups, and billionaire scandals—this is your daily dose of reality with a side of comedy.

    Are you ready to glimpse behind the curtain? Hit play now—because what you don’t know can hurt you—and this episode is packed with the surprises that will leave you questioning everything.
