Episode 1335
00:00:00 – Setting the Table Mike opens solo with Grim (Cruzin with Steak) filling in; quick riff on nonstop political chaos, A24 movie talk, and a promise to kick off with "Alex Jones Clips of the Week."
00:04:34 – Alex Jones Clips of the Week A rapid, ridiculous Jones montage (soup bowls, "new world order," live rants) sets a comedic tone before shifting back to show business.
00:09:33 – Clip Hangover & Pivot They wrap the Jones bit and pivot toward current events and legal-ish headlines that'll recur later in the show.
00:13:10 – Jones Legal/Bankruptcy Thread Brief backgrounder chatter on Jones' court/receiver saga and "summary judgment" beats, used as a springboard to talk institutional power and punishments.
00:18:07 – "Big Balls" DC Assault Sentencing Outrage over the light probation for teens who beat the Elon/DDOS staffer known as "Big Balls"; used to argue why DC brought in the Guard and why people feel justice is upside-down.
00:23:06 – Federal vs. State: Guard Deployments Debate over courts blocking/allowing federally controlled Guard in Chicago; 10th/14th Amendment talk; "guns but no bullets" analogy; airports/Patriot Act as precedent.

01:01:33 – The Witness Speaks Detailed eyewitness interview: milky white face at the rear glass, 7-foot lanky thing, thrown off at ~80→35 mph braking, sprints into the trees.
01:06:02 – Is It "The Rake"? They place the entity in modern folklore: AI images, creepypasta origins (4chan era), "pale emaciated" long-limbed descriptions vs. sparse credible sightings.
01:10:41 – North Carolina Weird File Pulls older NC cases (tiny "coke-bottle man," metallic spheres, odd odors, footprints) to show the region's high strangeness pedigree beyond "rake" lore.
