Anders and Andy of the Antifada discuss the recent revelation that Leon Trotsky refused to tip when he lived in the Bronx and then segue into a breakdown of his strange, wonderful and anti-chewing gum 1934 essay "If America Should Go Communist."

Former PDA host Alex is P-back for an ep and, for the first 10 or so minutes, helps Anders decipher the miming of a mute Jake whose mic won't work. Then we dive into a basket of lighthearted topics: an Esquire article about being homeless, some disastrous behind the scenes stories from the Wizard of Oz (1939), Israel and Lebanon's "ceasefire" deal and more!
