It’s business as usual—meaning chaotic—as the crew reacts to a ridiculous memo from a Stellantis factory about an employee's unsanitary “habit.” They analyze the passive-aggressive memo, question the logic of group punishment, and suggest alternative methods to catch the culprit. Then, they shift gears to Super Bowl chatter, odds-making, halftime shows, and the golden era of absurd crypto ads. Jonny recounts his time at the Ice Race in Austria, where all-wheel-drive chaos meets legendary machines. Spike shows off the 2025 Lamborghini Revuelto and reveals whether this hybrid V12 beast is the future—or just an expensive mistake. The conversation turns to electric cars as Porsche and BMW seem to be tapping the brakes on going full EV. Who’s right, and where’s the industry actually heading? Meanwhile, self-driving tech isn’t winning fans as an angry mob vandalizes a Waymo in LA, leading to a debate on liability and public backlash against autonomous cars.
