Amen, the whole opening was pure Boomer Facebook conspiracy Brain stuff

The pictures of the Hollywood sign on fire were AI generated. This was debunked and was easy to find for yourself on Google. Hugely embarrassing. At one time, Bret would have written a monologue on the fires and Los Angeles the way he wrote about 9/11 and New York, which would have captured the moment better than any photo (fake or real) from that BEE lens which no longer seems to exist. He’s not an interesting thinker anymore. It’s tragic. It feels like ideology rotted his brain. He can’t see anything in a non-political way anymore.

Ugh, I hate episodes when it’s a discourse between Brett and Adam. Back to Brett monologues please. Adam has such a grating voice and perspective.
