  • Episode 158 - Catering Truck One
    This week we're soaking up the last of summer at Half Acre, sipping hazies and talking about Trump's catering truck escape, the USS Abraham Lincoln's 250-day nightmare deployment, primary upsets, and two Dan Sullivans somehow both making it onto the Alaska ballot. Democracy is fine.

  • Episode 156 - Dead and Dead Adjacent
    This week we're at Demo Brewing, trying not to choke on Canadian wildfire smoke while sipping some excellent porters and Mexican lagers. We cover dead senators, possibly dead senators, a speech with zero bombshells, ICE chaos, and Count Binface's shot at glory. Chicago municipal elections are coming, and we need you paying attention!

  • Episode 155 - 250 Years of This?!
    This week we're sweating it out at Dovetail while sipping on Rattlers and Blondes. We cover SCOTUS rulings, World Cup fever, Iran drama, America's sad 250th birthday party, and New York's progressive primary shake-up. Democracy's a mess, but the beer's cold!

  • Episode 154 - The Obamalisk Rises
    We're back at Begyle soaking up Pride vibes and train noise while we break down the White House MMA trap house, Trump's infinite Iran 'negotiation,' SpaceX's meme stock magic, and the Texas Senate race that might actually be winnable. Oh, and piping plover chicks at Montrose Beach. We needed that.

  • Episode 153 - Train Wreck vs Rake Step
    This week we're at Pilot Project in Wrigleyville sorting out our levels and our politics. We cover the latest on Iran, Trump's billion-dollar slush fund and a disastrous DNC autopsy written by AI. On the bright side, it seems like the House has the votes to end the war, if only Johnson would let them vote.

  • Episode 152 - Cease Fire Ceases to Cease
    This week we're at Revolution Brewing sipping some seriously strong stuff (looking at you, brandy barrel aged beast) while covering the White House Correspondents' dinner attack, Supreme Court shenanigans, midterm tea, and whatever the hell is happening in the Strait of Hormuz. Also, Kash Patel needs to drink some water.

  • Episode 151 - Schrodinger's Ceasefire
    This week we're back after a month off! Sipping hazy IPAs at Hop Butcher and catching up on EVERYTHING. We cover the Iran war nobody wanted, Pam Bondi tanking the Dow, Kristi Noem's husband's fetish, and why Democrats should not rely on Republican self-owns heading into the midterms.

  • Episode 150 - Narcissistic Fury
    This week we're back at Old Irving Brewing, sipping Beezers and coffee Prosts while the world catches fire — literally... again. We cover the US attack on Iran, the Supreme Court smacking down tariffs, AI helping plan wars, and what seems to be the the latest episode of Miami Vice.
