Topic: Memory Loss

Journalist Katie Couric revealed she suffered from "Transient Global Amnesia" (TGA) during the Aspen Ideas Festival, leaving her unable to remember the month or year. While medical experts describe TGA as a benign condition affecting people aged 50 to 70, the hosts speculate on potential links to COVID-19 vaccinations. They note the coincidence of Couric believing Joe Biden was still president during her episode.

MSNBC's Jim Cramer refers to "vaccine variants" during a broadcast, a slip of the tongue that the hosts find telling. Additionally, a new study is highlighted claiming that 20% of COVID-19 survivors experience lingering neurological issues, including memory loss and difficulty paying attention, often referred to as "brain fog."

A discussion about a dinner with an "Obot" (Obama supporter) leads to a critique of the hype surrounding Artificial Intelligence, which the hosts argue is mostly just APIs. Concerns are raised about a host's recent forgetfulness, which is jokingly attributed to a lack of B12 supplements.
