This week, the hosts host a truth and reconciliation hearing for liberals while diving into personal anecdotes about eye care. They discuss the decline of aging politicians, riff on the absurdity of modern political theatrics, and critique viral desensitization. A humorous take on jobs and race hustling adds a satirical twist. They examine the limits of liberal responses on issues like Palestine, and propose radical ideas for participatory reform. Finally, they lament the loss of unapologetic rock music and call for a return to bolder sounds.
