A comedic riff imagining Putin doing a podcast tour including Red Scare and Rogan, with confusion over naming the Russian Sputnik V vaccine versus China's Sinovac/Covaxin.
- Tim asks if Putin will do a podcast tour, starting with Joe Rogan.
- Tim suggested Joe Rogan be Putin's translator, noting Putin speaks English well but doesn't publicly.
- Putin would probably complain on Rogan that there's not enough love for the Russian vaccine.
- Tim admits he doesn't know what the Russian vaccine is called, only that it's "Sputnik 5 or whatever."
- Tim questions Ben's research competence when the wrong vaccine names keep coming up.
