Alex talks about Joe Biden turning 79, and reacts to the Rittenhouse trial verdict which was reached on Friday. He then moves on to talking about Thanksgiving, and avoiding conflict when visiting family, and ties that in with an update on the COVID-19 pandemic here in the United States. \\nThen we get into some drama. As a user of Rarible, the NFT marketplace, Alex has noticed a specific user on the site who is blatantly ripping off the most famous NFT collection, Cryptopunks, and is making thousands of their own under the Punks name in hopes that people will buy their counterfeit versions, and Rarible has verified them with the yellow check mark. So, since Rarible isn\'t doing anything about it, Alex has decided to take the situation into his own hands, and rip off the dude who\'s ripping off Cryptopunks, by creating his own "Plagiarism Punks" to troll this NFT art thief. \\nThen it\'s time to check in and see what the republican talking points of the week are by giving commentary over a recent Fox News clip discussing the Rittenhouse verdict. And to close the episode off, make fun of some Karens and give some relationship advice. \\nLearn more about your ad choices.
