This week, the crew sits down to talk about everything from new Apple AirTags to TikTok now being partially owned by the U.S government. Along the way they throw in some talk about the weather and Khaby Lame before wrapping it all up with a fun game that Andrew came up with! It's a long one but we hope you enjoy!
