Now I'm onto building out GeoTap, a project for geography nerds. You get a location, point to it on a globe, and get scored based on how close you are. Think you know the world?

Detailed Summary

The hosts begin by sharing personal vacation anecdotes, including a trip to the Grand Canyon and a visit to Las Vegas, detailing unusual experiences with a dog and a concert. They then delve into a lengthy discussion about the Alex Murdaugh legal case, critiquing the handling of the trial and the appeal process, particularly focusing on the role of a specific clerk and the perceived leniency regarding financial crimes.

The conversation shifts to the U.S. government's release of UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) files, with the hosts expressing skepticism about the transparency and presentation of the data, likening it to a condescending gesture.
