He explains the different apps and experiences, including Meta\'s Horizon Worlds, which is currently in beta but is going to be a major player in this industry, as well as others such as Rec Room and VR Chat.\\nThen it\'s back to current events. There\'s a new COVID-19 variant called Omicron so Alex talks about what that means for the world and pandemic recovery efforts. Also on the topic of COVID-19, Ted Cruz has started another beef, not with a muppet, but with Dr. Fauci, saying the doctor should be prosecuted, so you know Alex has to make fun of Ted a little more for old times\' sake.\\nThere\'s also a talk about celebrities entering politics, politicians being too old, greedy, and corrupt, and a rant about cannabis legalization. To close it out, there\'s Karens to make fun of, and a relationship advice entry to answer.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
