Matt reveals their podcast accidentally prophesied historic flooding now devastating the Midwest.
The episode begins with the hosts noting the ironic timing of discussing flooding just before historic floods hit the Midwest, detailing specific rainfall totals and infrastructure disruptions. They explore why the region, once called the 'Great American Desert,' is actually prime farmland due to prairie grass retaining nutrients. The conversation transitions to technology, with Matt updating his computer build and discussing graphics cards. A significant segment covers recent Supreme Court cases: the Cargill bump stock ruling and the Rahimi case on restraining orders and gun rights, with critique of the decisions. The hosts then preview GunCon, listing companies like Cloud Defensive and Century Arms they're excited to see. They discuss personal firearm setup dilemmas, motorcycle tech including BMW's augmented reality glasses, and regulations around drones and GMRS radio networks, citing an FCC shutdown of a repeater network. The episode critiques government agencies like the FAA and ATF, and touches on Apple's AI announcements at WWDC and a $20 billion Google-Apple search deal. A lengthy segment critiques Disney's handling of Star Wars, focusing on 'The Acolyte' and creative stagnation, while praising older creative processes like in 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail.' They discuss the new 'Dragon Age: Veil Guard' trailer and a lawsuit against Sig Sauer. The episode concludes with mentions of a new suppressor cleaning kit and plans for GunCon.
