Are you telling me someone interchanged these metal screws?????

This week, after an Albania report, a segment we're calling "I'm NOT With (Mayor) Her," and a contractually obligated talking-about of a clout farming mayor, Riley gives us the second installation of his Dallas Trilogy (ed. note: See episode 87, "William Cabell." Excelsior!). Get in your strangely roofless car and buckle up! It's a bumpy one.

Also, preorder Mattie's band's new record why don't you!
