This week, the boys get into a tiff-spat with their Daddy-O about the size of Biden-Harris rescue checks and what that means for the road ahead. We take a listen to caught red-handed insurrectionists channel their inner Trump to shirk responsibility and fret over their jobs, and our team of crack robot reporters investigate the masculinity that is Trump. Plus, another round of the weekly "Mmmmm... That Tastes a Little Gamey" quiz! (Note: in next week's quiz, the boys will compete on behalf of two lucky podcast listeners for a prize! Send a note to [email protected] if you want one of the boys to play on your behalf!)
