Former Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz suggests "jawboning" oil executives to increase supply, while Russia continues to profit by selling oil to India at a discount. Despite the discount, the high global price of oil means Russia is receiving significantly more per barrel than it did prior to the invasion of Ukraine.

The technical negotiations of the Iran nuclear deal are revealed to have taken place in the wine cellar of the Coburg Palace Hotel. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and his Iranian counterpart, both MIT-trained, used "science" to depoliticize the agreement. The hosts argue the deal is essentially a massive arms sales opportunity for the U.S. defense industry.

Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz is criticized for his distinctive, old-fashioned hairstyle, which the hosts compare to the Quaker Oats man and George Washington. This leads to a conceptual discussion about a new male hairstyle called the "mouffant"—a combination of a mullet and a bouffant. The hosts joke about the confidence required to maintain such a look in a high-level government position.

Iran's Supreme Leader and President Hassan Rouhani express resistance to foreign inspections of military sites and interviews with nuclear scientists as the June 30 deadline approaches.

The hosts express skepticism regarding the likelihood of a final agreement given the "incessant new demands" cited by Iranian leadership.
