The episode of GCC was a Patreon special where Mike & Megan reviewed Evil Dead II, while the last standard episode was ep 206, where Mike & Matt discuss opinions that could be considered controversial and for the premiere episodes, Elon Musk is the topic! Matt explains why he is interested in Elon Musk, why there is such controversy surrounding him, Elon’s “credentials” and personal life, before delving into his work ethic, the Twitter/X buyout, his chosen lack of privacy and more. Matt also talks about Musk’s other businesses, including SpaceX and Musk’s “Australian battery”, as well as Musk’s “failures”. The conversation then finishes with Matt talking about own business; Bust Builders!
