Season 3, Episode 5: "DOGE’s Swamp-Slaying Spree: Tapes, Pineapple Juice, and DEI Drama"

Buckle up, patriots! In Season 3, Episode 5, Caleb and Grace plunge into the swamp to unpack DOGE’s latest chaos from April 4th to 7th, 2025. The Department of Government Efficiency—born from a Trump-Musk bromance and armed with a sunset date of July 4th, 2026—is swinging its efficiency axe hard. They’ve digitized 14,000 magnetic tapes (goodbye, 1970s vibes!) to save a million bucks a year, axed 63 contracts worth a potential $124 million (but really saved $39 million—math, anyone?), and said “no thanks” to wild grants like $250K for Benin’s pineapple juice empire and dragon fruit dreams in Senegal. Oh, and they’ve tossed DEI criteria out of Foreign Service Officer reviews—because apparently “avoiding gendered adjectives” isn’t peak diplomacy. With savings claims jumping from $140 billion to $151 billion in days, the numbers are spicier than the scandals. Is DOGE draining the swamp or just stirring the pot? Tune in for laughs, gasps, and a taxpayer’s fever dream—where the only thing not getting cut is the sass!

Join the convo: What’s the wildest government spending you’ve heard of? Hit us up and stay locked for more DOGE madness! @VRVeteran on X
