Lots of news that I don't remember now ahhhh sorry just listen. We talk a lot about Bernie Sanders who just announced his run for the 2020 presidency. We discuss who is most likely to win the democratic nomination.

Jessi and Griffin discuss a lot of Israeli news, the India-Pakistani conflict, and the Cohen trial. We end the episode with a discussion on political literacy and participation, talking about the ways other countries increase or mandate voter participation and why its important for us to find a solution to this problem.

WE DID IT BiNCH !!!

In this ep Jessi and Nicole dump more news on the listeners than a Texan pipeline dumping jet fuel into the Indiana River (that'll make more sense once you listen to the ep, promise). And at the risk of sounding click-baity, we've got a pretty big and important announcement for all our lovely listeners so make sure you slam that mf play button (the announcement is right at the beginning because we here at avocadotoast believe in instant gratification, as it is in our millenial/centennial nature that we simply cannot escape)

Enjoy!

Jessi and Nicole talk about what makes John Mulaney and the McElboys SO GREAT at comedy. Spoiler: it's the fact that they don't try to disparage groups of people (other than jugglers, of course).
