This week on Talk Shit Or Get Off The Pod, we tackle the question that could reshape democracy forever: if every animal got one vote, who becomes President of Earth? The answer starts with gorillas, takes a hard left into insect super PACs, and somehow gets even weirder from there.

We also debate whether unlimited free gas beats never waiting in line again, figure out which historical figure would become the most dangerous social-media influencer of all time, and game out the economic winners if aliens decided tomorrow was the perfect day to make first contact.

In the news, we discuss the nationwide manhunt for a suspect connected to a Kansas City shooting spree as authorities race to locate him before the upcoming FIFA World Cup, break down a Supreme Court ruling involving religious freedom and prison policy, and check in on SpaceX stock after a rocky debut that saw shares dip before bouncing back.

As always, there are bad ideas, questionable logic, unsolicited expertise, and a disturbing amount of confidence from two guys who probably shouldn’t be trusted with national policy decisions—human or animal.

Grab a drink, cast your vote, and remember: the ants are watching.
