For any of this to make sense, it must be understood that Texas has a power grid comprised of 95% fossil fuel and nuclear sources. And yet somehow, in the minds of the chuds and Republicans, those wind farms are the reason that Texas' extremely libertarian grid cannot function in a winter storm. Nate and Francis get to the bottom of this conundrum, to include a Marine Todd reading of a recent Texas mayor's public statement.

For this week's bonus, you get a full hour of Francis, Shocks, and Joe Kassabian discussing a variety of topics -- but with special emphasis on the Insane Clown Posse and what it means to Midwesterners. Get it on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/47556191
