John did not drown, and no Secret Service agent we would ever care about was hurt. It's a special start to a spooky Spooktober with our spectacular sponsors.

John and Matthew discuss the UAW strike, Fetterman clones, locally-owned grocery stores, and the weirdest story to come out of Texas, well, lately at least, which is still saying something

Matthew and John discuss getting the ol' Liquid Flannel up off the mat and seeing what kind of juice she still has in her. It's still socialist, it's still culture. It's everything you've been missing. Welcome back.

Senior Oklahoma Correspondent Gregory Hardin II (Twitter: @GregoryHardinII) joins us again this week for updates on the coronavirus quarantine and states reopening. We discuss how the virus is going to impact the right to vote in upcoming elections, and the infectiousness of conspiracy theories. Katie has questions about the term "grifter."

Friend John Leavitt (Twitter: @LeavittAlone) is back with us this week. We discuss what JFK Jr.'s startup magazine "George" says about the political moment we're in. Corporations prove true to a certain form, as do mustaches.

We're joined this week by Rebecca Bitton (Twitter: @rebeinstein) about how party politics have let down the most precarious among us, and why taking the "Black Pill" isn't created equal among all groups. We discuss how the coronavirus quarantine is impacting abortion rights, and the guidance we're seeing from the White House.
