This week: SpaceX IPO fugazi, Iran war toll booth, Scorsese sells out again, and Mr. Green finally delivers a package to a planet that used to be fun.
Mr. Green and Captain Ray Tracy return with a full topic rundown before spiraling into their ongoing mission for the Nothing Corporation — delivering a JJ Abrams mystery box to Brenner 7, a former amusement planet now run by a legless robot marshal operating under cowboy law. Along the way, they break down the SpaceX IPO: massive valuation, modest revenue, and whether it's genuine hype, a setup for a rug pull, or just passive retirement money doing the heavy lifting for Elon Musk while nobody's looking. Add meme stock dynamics, shell game comparisons to Boiler Room, and the mechanics of risk that isn't actually risk when it's other people's money.
Then: is Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day a propaganda play? What did the Watchmen get right about the American dream? Is the Iran conflict just a toll booth argument that got out of hand? And does Mark Zuckerberg know how to dap someone up? (He does not.)
Mr. Green delivers the box. The Nothing Marshal has laser eyes and no arms. Cowboy law is nearly invoked. The Skulk Pirates are watching. They will be back.
