John and Gordy dissect the political whirlwind surrounding potential government shutdowns and misinformation campaigns, highlighting the absurdity of recent claims about Democrats and tax credits. They delve into Trump's misguided healthcare strategies and the right-wing media's unwitting collaboration with Russian propaganda. The episode takes a lighter turn with a 'Would You Rather' segment involving French vs. Indian cuisine and hypothetical animal chases. They also spotlight author John Fugelsang's critique of religious and political intertwining, and feature adorable adoptables from the Dane County Humane Society—because who doesn’t love a cat named Pickup Truck?
