Post Repost

We've been running behind. As evidenced by us releasing Part 1 of our August episodes. We chat about all sorts of stuff, including Epstein, genocide by anti-immigration reform, and the DNC primaries (they're going to go on forever).

Releasing night 2 of the last debates the day the next round of debates were announced? How less timely could we be? We sure did a lot of shots of whiskey this episode. Anyway, go listen to Young Scrolls: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXzmcdy3BVCnLqwOx2JERMg

A little behind on the news cycles here, but Kyle and Susi chat about the first night of the second round of debates. Who are half of these people? Susi doesn't know!

Kyle and Susi talk about the 2nd night of debates, spend some time talking about how big of a jerk Mayor Pete is, how problematic Kamala Harris is, and how disappointed we were in general with the candidates' behavior on the 2nd night.

Susi and Kyle talk about the first night of the debates. This one is a bit shorter. Night 2 will be in a separate episode and is much longer.

In other news, Swalwell is already out.

Guess it wasn't time to pass the baton.

Susi and Kyle get ready for the DNC debates, which are this week. We've divvied up the main six candidates and discuss what the potential topics might be.

How do robots cope with their existence? Murdering children or drowning themselves. That's the two options.

We're back in the saddle and talking about sending chicken sandwiches to space!

Our pal Russell was in town and we all drank too much wine. I'm so sorry for this. Thank you for sticking with us for 80 out of control minutes.
