I never know where these episodes will lead us, mostly because young Michael is in charge, and half of the time, he shows up unprepared. I would love to say today was all laughs, but we covered a few heavy topics before moving to some lighter material.

-Michael's generation's response to the Charlie Kirk Murder

-Insurance companies developing Ai tools to assess patient risk and cost

-Michael's thoughts on the proper usage of claymores

Some days, I don't have the words to describe how I am feeling. This past week, it has been tough to wrap my head around what happened, let alone to parse together my thoughts into any semblance of a coherent thought.

I believe we are not too far gone to recover, but I also believe both sides have blood on their hands. I did the best I could to explain how I feel. Enjoy, disregard, up to you.

Traditional Q and A to round out the week, answering only the most demanding questions facing our society, world, and likely species. I'm pretty sure they were actually that serious, but it sounds good.

I did actually cover:

-Am I an ambassador of the brands I wear (you, not me)

-Supporting friends through low points in their lives

-What would you do (me) if you saw abuse in public
