Had fun debating Super Bowl ad reviews and Elon Musk’s Starman stunt.

Listen here

My favorite parts:

  1. Ram Trucks co-opting MLK is a bigger problem than most realize. Check out the re-done ad with the other part of his sermon.
  2. The greater meaning behind the epic SpaceX/Tesla launch (it’s much more than a stellar car ad).
