Over a slice of Mrs Fact Check’s homemade Lemon Cake they discuss The Gorge and The Electric State which Martin worked on by the way. The fellas, grumbling about recent events, discover there is a perfect German word they can’t pronounce that fits most political leadership these days. Shedenfreude? We think not.
