Show Notes
Cool episode chopping it up with Warlizard (u/Warlizard, not of Warlizard Gaming Forums) on all manner of topics from AI models to the future of Reddit. Toss in a healthy amount of speculation on the Havana Syndrome and the origins of Lyme disease (and our own experiences with Lyme and ticks).
We also get into some of Warlizard's own stories about his time in the US Army in West Germany as a linguist, in addition to commercial companies trying to make it to the moon.
Finally, just tons of great shows, movies, and books talked about in this ep. Hope you enjoy!

More from Politically Charged Mischief
Didn't your dad always tell you not to say "and stuff"? Well, we just did. Anyways, fun ep with the boys talking some stuff about Venezuela and other problem areas. Nothing astronomical, just listen while you work your mindless 9-5 if that's your thing.
Have you ever had a bad haircut experience? Then this episode is for you. We also talk some geopolitics stuff
In this episode, we kick things off with some lighthearted banter before diving into heavier topics like the Israel-Palestine conflict, how media covers war, and the role of combat journalists. We reflect on historical events like the Vietnam War and the Battle of Mogadishu, while also breaking down Poland's military readiness in today's tense geopolitical landscape. The discussion unpacks the messy realities of war, media narratives, and the human stories behind them. From there, we pivot to the aftermath of Mogadishu, the evolution of military aviation, and the role of microwave technology in modern warfare. We also touch on cultural myths, how movie trailers shape expectations, Austin's growing comedy scene, and the wild world of reality TV and celebrity culture. Packed with humor, insights, and a few personal stories, this episode is a lively mix for anyone curious about these topics.
You know the drill folks. All over the map on this one, some cool stories about the OSS/CIA in China and SE Asia, some weird vibes about drone defenses and that random UFO getting hit by a hellfire missile. Plus our usual recommendations-high quality watching, listening, or reading. Also, don't hate on the artwork too much, Grok is doing it's best, we know it's super weird.
