Fire up the grills, grab a cold drink, and prep your tinfoil hats, because summer grilling season is officially here! This month, Cat, Dwayne, and Koji tackle a heavy-hitting question that’s been sizzling all over the internet: Does Bill Gates want to destroy the cattle industry?

To help us slice through the meat of this massive tech-agriculture conspiracy, we welcome international stand-up comedian and former comedy-wrestler Eric Escobar (Hulu’s Comedy InvAsian, CBS’s Comics Unleashed). Together, the crew dissects Bill Gates’ massive 270,000-acre American farmland monopoly and his public push for 100% synthetic beef. Is he trying to save the planet from bovine methane emissions, or is he hoarding land to create a vertical monopoly that will relegate real steak to a 1% black market luxury item?

Plus, we break down the May 8, 2026 UFO Disclosure and the government's brand new public database at war.gov/ufo. We wrap things up with a high-stakes round of "Yay or Nay" featuring 5 outrageous food conspiracies involving insect fragments in your smoothies, fake honey, and the terrifying truth behind natural vanilla flavoring.
