In a freewheeling episode full of Premium Content™, Maurice and Amanda commemorate January 6 by discussing the perils of hyperbole and debating Maurice’s vision of a secessionist utopia. Maurice gives us a lesson on the history of Texas, prompting Amanda to give us a lesson on the history of her fourth grade class’ EXTREMELY problematic Civil War unit—which took place during the early aughts and culminated in a water balloon-based reenactment. Next, we have Omicraziness updates from universities across the country (including UCLA) and general biofascism updates from governments abroad (namely Austria). How do they keep getting away with it? We explain.
