This week on Good Morning, We're Dying, Alex is joined by comedian Wes Ward in what can only be described as the most off-road episode yet—fitting for a conversation that begins with an impassioned TED Talk about roundabouts. With Sam out, Wes steps in to help explore the cosmic absurdity of traffic design, the futility of comedy gigs during Pride Month, and how Michigan's infrastructure is definitely built with Somerset Mall money.
The duo takes a scenic detour into Elon Musk vs. Trump, the bloodsport we didn’t know we needed, but now crave like ketamine at a board meeting. There’s billionaire beef, drug-fueled speculation, and a DTE-sponsored healthcare nightmare scenario that somehow makes sense. If you’re not ready for AI-run comedy clubs and peak-hour chemotherapy pricing, you’re not ready for the future.
Other stops along the descent: childhood fights as character development, open mic PTSD, The Rock’s slow transformation into an energy drink mascot, and how George Soros shops like a broke suburban mom. Also, OJ had a TikTok vibe, and yes, he would’ve definitely had a podcast.
As always, the episode veers wildly into politics, darkly funny hypotheticals, and the kind of cathartic spiral that feels like watching the world burn from a Michigan meadery. If you’re hoping to hear about how America lost the plot somewhere between 9/11 conspiracy Geocities pages and Pete Buttigieg fan cams, this one's for you.
