In this episode, cj & Jeff get into the trouble with China, at least some of the technical ones including tiny chips, EVs, AI, and 5G infrastructure.  There’s a lot to unpack, and the boys barely get a chance to double-click on even a few talking points.

Fortunately, there’s a little bit of everything in this episode, from naming parts of a baguette to elitist keyboard layouts and surprising cats with fruit; everything you’ve come to expect from Nonsense.
