No One Saw This Coming… Plus, Which Apex Predator Would You Face?

Mike has announced the vehicle he chose for the next chapter of his travels—and almost nobody expected him to go in this direction.

We break down the decision before moving into a brutal survival hypothetical: if you were trapped one-on-one with an apex predator inside the Roman Colosseum, which animal would you choose to face? Then we change the setting and consider each predator inside its own natural environment. Which encounter gives a human the best chance of surviving—and which one would be virtually impossible?

We also debate whether good manners require letting your food get cold, examine how one license-plate typo brought four police cars down on an innocent couple, and discuss Forest Service workers being zip-tied and held inside a national forest.

Later, we ask whether the FBI’s mission has changed, examine efforts to cut off financial incentives for illegal immigration, debate America’s nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia, and question whether it is already time to start using the word “quagmire” when discussing Iran.
