(25:31 ) Mr. Clean Hates Dirt!


This week, the world’s institutions are… not okay.


The EU slaps Twitter with a €120 million fine - the first ever under the Digital Services Act, prompting Elon Musk to respond with the maturity of a man yelling at a cloud.


Meanwhile, 12 former FDA commissioners unite to condemn a rogue internal memo that rewrites vaccine policy based on feelings and vibes. The boys also dive into the first human trial of a fentanyl vaccine that could reshape overdose prevention.


And finally, China detonates the global economic leaderboard with a historic $1 trillion trade surplus, redefining global manufacturing power while hollowing out domestic demand.


It’s regulatory chaos, medical whiplash, biotech moonshots, and seismic geopolitical math - all wrapped into one delightfully unhinged episode of Nonsense.
