Listen Later
  • Welcome back, Micah! Last time you were on, the pandemic was bad. This time... it's still really bad.
  • Biden week 1 scandals: wears a rolex, has a Peloton, didn't wear a mask at a family-only event... when will the tan suit scandal hit?
  • PSA: Don't feed your dog grain-free food. Andrew laments the parental advice that got him here, and recommends further reading from the American Kennel Club and DogFoodAdvisor.com to make sure your pup is on a healthy diet.
  • Laura and her neighbors are fighting a potential gas station development across the street, but Andrew thinks Laura would love a view of Chevron out her bedroom window.
  • Here we go again: House managers delivered an article of impeachment to the Senate, where the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump will happen in the next couple of weeks.
  • President Biden has been busy signing executive orders, including substantive protections for DACA recipients and reversing Trump's transgender ban in the military.
  • Mitch, you're in no position to strongarm anyone. An hour after we finished recording this episode, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer gave us exactly the kind of response we wanted to see to McConnell's continued demands to protect the filibuster.
  • Laura's Rage of the Week: Africa may not receive widespread COVID vaccinations until 2022 or later.

  • Micah fills us in on the upcoming Game of Thrones spinoff series, Tales of Dunk & Egg.
