What do you get when you road trip through America in a Tesla, vlog with 106 YouTube followers, and try to import Canadian coffee mugs? A weirdly accurate snapshot of the modern economy, recorded from a hotel room in Bentonville—where everything feels fake, everyone works for Walmart, and your car decides where you're allowed to drive.
Between heatstroke in Texas, supercharger roulette in Oklahoma, and the realization that tariffs turned $600 mugs into a $1,200 mistake, this episode is part travel diary, part economic fever dream. If you've ever wondered what it's like to live inside a glitchy simulation run by algorithms, spreadsheets, and Walmart's HR department... you're in the right place.
