Todd grudgingly returns to life after shortwave with a sore jaw, a jacked neck medicated with Leinenkugel's, and a prostate full of unimpaired sarcasm. Fresh from oral surgery and his final WWCR broadcast, he jumps straight back into New York’s new Marxist soap opera: Zorak's rise, the DSA’s full-blown takeover of the Democrats, and the party’s desperate rebrand from identity equity to affordability.

It’s a kind of hangover episode with bite: part recovery diary, part political exorcism. Between complaints about aging, painkillers, and Marxist cosplay, Todd wonders out loud. again, whether the “Red-Green Alliance” is just Jonestown with Wi-Fi. It’s cranky, funny, and 100% X-Pod; the start of a new chapter, minus the religious radio filter!
