Summary
Max and 99 are back from vacation and kicking off their Spring Fund, Friend and Hell Raiser. They hit headlines on Olympic testing, Israel's Lebanon plans, and ChatGPT in cars, then tackle listener emails on U.S. solvency narratives and economic warning signs. They rank their Top 5 local issues, and they close with some lighthearted beyond the bullshit.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Omnibus. |
| 0:10.0 | We are back. |
| 0:10.9 | We're back together in the studio. |
| 0:12.5 | 99. |
| 0:13.0 | What's good? |
| 0:14.6 | What isn't good? |
| 0:16.1 | I mean, that's actually a wrong question. |
| 0:19.0 | What is good, actually? |
| 0:20.7 | I ask back to you. |

| 1:14.8 | still loves me. And that is a wonderful feeling. And I love her deeply. And we spent the most |
| 1:20.9 | incredible week together away. The kids were so salty the whole time. Because the last time we went away was 10 years ago when we went to Cuba, ironically. |
| 1:32.3 | I say ironically because I'm writing about Cuba this week. |
| 1:35.2 | And we went for a couple of days and my parents were able to watch the kids because they were much younger back then. |
