Also some new Airpods, so there\'s some talk about the new features those will offer. \\nFacebook is planning a name change that will reflect their new focus on the metaverse, which includes VR and NFTs, so there is some talk about the future of those two things. \\nThen there is a roast of Ted Cruz for complaining about immigration, and a roast of Tucker Carlson, who is very clearly afraid of the trans community based on what he is saying these days. \\nAs always, Alex closes with Keeping Up With the Karens and answers relationship advice. \\nLearn more about your ad choices.
