Topic: Bleeding

During the UN World Cities Day in Turkey, Emin Erdogan (wife of President Erdogan) introduced the term "bleeding globe" to describe the impact of climate change on the Earth. The speech predicted that 7 out of 10 people will live in cities by 2050, leading to various urban crises. The hosts mock the dramatic terminology as a new addition to the climate change lexicon.

A historical anecdote about the mailing list industry describes a specific list titled "Bleeding Hearts," which targeted individuals prone to donating based on emotional appeals. The hosts compare this to the current political climate, where people are "soaked" for donations to organizations they don't fully understand. They argue that modern social justice movements capitalize on this same psychological profile of guilt-ridden donors.

The hosts analyze a commercial for the blood thinner Eliquis, which uses the slogan "up my game." They mock the pharmaceutical marketing that frames taking a drug for atrial fibrillation as a competitive lifestyle choice. The ad's warnings about "fatal bleeding" and the inability to stop bleeding once started are highlighted as particularly grim.

A growing number of reports indicate that toxic oil fumes are entering the cabins and cockpits of commercial aircraft through the "bleed air" systems. These incidents, often involving Rolls Royce engines and Mobil jet oil, have caused pilots to become dizzy and ill during flights. The aviation industry is accused of covering up the problem to avoid the high costs of redesigning engine seal rings.
