For whatever reason, there's an epidemic sweeping this nation that only seems to affect police officers. The slightest contact with fentanyl causes our boys (and girls) in blue to overdose and then make cable news appearances. Recent bodycam footage of a Florida police officer requiring three doses of Narcan in order to be resuscitated made national news, but medical consensus says that the drug just doesn't work like that. On this episode we talk to journalist Zach Siegel about how fentanyl finds its way into other drugs, why Mexican cartels aren't trying to trick our children into buying fent-laced candy and the mass psychogenic illness of police overdoses.

Kartik Krishnaiyer and Ryan Ray join us to discuss the absolute ANNIHILATION of the Democratic Party of Florida in the recent midterm elections. While the rest of liberal America celebrates conservative disappointment in the election results, Florida has just entered a new era of blood-red Republican control. Why are Florida Democrats so bad at politics? What does the future of Florida look like? Who will win when DeSantis inevitably faces off against Trump? All that and Isaac makes a case for adopting the Japanese honor-killing ritual of seppuku for politicians who lose by more than 15 points.
