EP#266 | DSD | Gemini AI, Elon’s Salute, Melania’s Hat, Sugar, & Nelly at the Inauguration
Inauguration
📄 Episode Overview
In Episode #266 of Deep Shallow Dive, Ray Doustdar reflects on a packed news cycle following Trump’s latest inauguration. He covers the rise of Gemini AI integration in Gmail, Elon Musk’s viral salute, Melania Trump’s mysterious hat statement, Biden’s sweeping preemptive pardons, and a powerful clip from Nelly defending his choice to perform. Ray also reemphasizes the dangers of sugar—and ends with a minute of Dave Chappelle’s SNL monologue that nails the spirit of unity and accountability.
🧠 Key Takeaways
• Gemini is now integrated into Gmail and can automatically add events from emails to your calendar.
• Elon Musk’s “salute” looked far too close to a Nazi gesture—Ray calls for an actual explanation, not trolling.
• Melania Trump’s oversized hat and lack of visibility may symbolize her silent protest of political life.
• Biden issued preemptive pardons for Fauci, Milley, and his own family—despite once criticizing Trump for considering the same.
• The pardons date back to January 2014—right before Ukraine’s political chaos and the rise of Hunter’s influence.
• Sugar suppresses immune function more than prescription steroids like prednisone—cut it.
• Nelly’s speech about “respecting the office” even when you disagree is a powerful example of adult discourse.
• Ray once repped Nelly and put him in the famous Got Milk? “Chug Life” campaign.
• Dave Chappelle’s monologue: 'Don’t forget your humanity. Have empathy—for the Palisades or Palestine.'
