This week, CDK & Horatio are playing their wild card — diving into topics that feel just as chaotic as a heated Uno game with no rules and too many cousins.

From political antics to pop culture stumbles, we unpack:

• CDK’s DC trip and Zeddy Will’s inspirational energy
• Trump’s “crackdown” plan for DC — or as we call it, The Plot of Purge 4
• Instagram introducing maps and why that’s low-key terrifying
• The wild Shedeur Sanders x Browns rumor mill
• Florida Evans might be the reason Good Times stayed broke
• First impressions of ChatGPT-5 — it’s giving robot with trust issues
• And finally: a public service announcement to go the hell outside

Press play and draw four — because this episode skips the fluff and goes straight for the wild card.
