Man, politics, huh? We love the stuff, which is why we’re spending this episode sharing our thoughts on the recent U.S. presidential election. 

In what we’re calling a full-blown Bagel Pizza, we’re discussing the blue bracelet trend, explaining what a tariff is and isn’t, ranting about racism, and providing some suggestions and resources for learning, participating, preparing, and keeping the hope alive during a scary and tumultuous time.
