Head in the Office

The boys sit down with video essayist André Dutra to discuss where Democrats went wrong in 2024, various bits of Presidential history, what we can do to produce a solid left-populist candidate for 2028 that doesn’t abandon marginalized groups, and more.

WE ARE BACK WITH ANOTHER CERTIFIED HITO ORIGINAL. For the 5th installment of holiday pregame, the boys run through the biggest issues that are most likely to come up at the Thanksgiving table. They hit the big three issues that voters cared about this election: the economy, inflation, and immigration, with some news peppered in. Make sure to become a PATRON… before Trumpflation tariffs hit!
