The guys dig in to the state of America's crippling amounts of student loan debt and whether or not that's actually a determining factor in decling birth rates, give an update on the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, hate on Kamala Harris for a while, and finally, discuss some recent deaths at Amazon facilities and wonder about their/our own complicity in the state of things.
