You’ll Never Be At This Table

The Dudes kick things off with Jeff Goldblum’s Grandmaster in Thor: Ragnarok—the gold robe, the Sakaar chaos, and why that performance still lives rent-free—then the conversation slams into President Trump’s Friday announcement of a U.S.–Denmark–Greenland Arctic security deal. Trump is calling it “permanent control” over Greenland’s security and “all other needs,” with a ban on adversary bases and sensitive investments and a pledge to build a larger American military footprint on the island. Denmark and Greenland say sovereignty stays put. The fellas unpack the gap between the Truth Social victory lap and the actual treaty, why the Arctic shipping lanes and rare earths matter, and whether this is a takeover, a 1951-defense-pact upgrade, or both depending on who’s talking.

Later, Mike and Frank dissect the U.S. Space Force’s first on-the-record admission that America already has weapons in orbit. Air Force Secretary Troy Meink and Space Force Chief Gen. Douglas Schiess said Guardians now operate “on-orbit space control weapons” to defend the joint force—after years of the Pentagon refusing to say the quiet part out loud. That rabbit hole runs through China and Russia’s counter-space programs, debris vs. jammers, Golden Dome talk, and what “space control” actually means when nobody will name the hardware.

From there the guys break down the real story behind Jeff Bezos flying Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez, Gayle King and an all-female Blue Origin NS-31 crew past the Kármán line: eleven minutes, three minutes of weightlessness, a ground-kiss for the cameras, and whether celebrity suborbital tourism is exploration, branding, or the world’s most expensive press junket.

They close the show on three media-world collisions: Trump barring CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House press operation and having badges pulled at the gate; the swirl around Jimmy Kimmel Live!—Page Six saying the ABC contract is done after May 2027, the network calling it “purely speculative,” and budget-cut talks still in play; and Gavin Newsom waist-deep in a Montana river with Jake Tapper for CNN’s Out of Office series, telling America he won’t run in 2028 if Kamala Harris does. The Dudes weigh the staged fly-cast, the 2028 positioning, and why legacy media keeps booking the same fishing trip.
