Crusin' with Steak!  00:00:00 – Setting the Table Mike opens solo with Grim (Cruzin with Steak) filling in; quick riff on nonstop political chaos, A24 movie talk, and a promise to kick off with "Alex Jones Clips of the Week." 00:04:34 – Alex Jones Clips of the Week A rapid, ridiculous Jones montage (soup bowls, "new world order," live rants) sets a comedic tone before shifting back to show business. 00:09:33 – Clip Hangover & Pivot They wrap the Jones bit and pivot toward current events and legal-ish headlines that'll recur later in the show. 00:13:10 – Jones Legal/Bankruptcy Thread Brief backgrounder chatter on Jones' court/receiver saga and "summary judgment" beats, used as a springboard to talk institutional power and punishments. 00:18:07 – "Big Balls" DC Assault Sentencing Outrage over the light probation for teens who beat the Elon/DDOS staffer known as "Big Balls"; used to argue why DC brought in the Guard and why people feel justice is upside-down. 00:23:06 – Federal vs. State: Guard Deployments Debate over courts blocking/allowing federally controlled Guard in Chicago; 10th/14th Amendment talk; "guns but no bullets" analogy; airports/Patriot Act as precedent. 00:27:41 – Strategy of Tension More on how protests, laser-targeting aircraft, and courtroom moves can manufacture the very "authoritarian" outcome activists fear. 00:32:40 – "Are We Building the Police State for Them?" Continuing the theme: court fights (Ninth Circuit), Guard units staging near Chicago, and how sustained agitation invites a harder crackdown. 00:37:17 – Hollywood Money Weirdness Quick detour: Saudi cash, game/film IP, and industry desperation — a palette cleanser before the weird news block heats up. 00:42:04 – Snake-Lady Headlines A viral Indian tabloid story: husband claims his wife is a shapeshifting snake; lots of side-eye, jokes, and "sorcerer" as legal expert. 00:47:01 – How Often Do 'Snake-Lady' Claims Happen? They try to quantify the phenomenon, conclude it's vanishingly rare, and tee up better-sourced U.S. weirdness. 00:51:58 – Carolina Pale Crawler: The Setup Introduce the Pender County, NC 911 case via the Carolina Case Files YouTube investigation; promise to play/parse the report. 00:56:39 – 911 Tape & Deputy Notes Caller sees a blood-soaked "Civil War soldier," then hears a slam: something jumps into his truck bed and beats on the cab; later thrown off by braking.
