We didn't mean to take the summer off, but after the shooting in Utah, we had get back on the mics to process all the responses we saw in our social media feeds. We unpack the bewilderment of seeing so many tributes on Facebook (from conservatives and progressives alike!), not realizing we had so many secret conservatives in our past, and Liz's existential spiral into why we're even on social media at all anymore. To take the edge off, we wrap with our top five baseball walk-up songs. Bonus: Chris explains why Shohei is the greatest baseball player (or even... greatest athlete??) of all time. The playoffs are here and in these wild times, we hope you seize all the joy you can!
