About this episode

It feels like everyday there’s a new headline about some crazy shit going on with the government. Whether it’s Roe V. Wade being overturned or the economy crashing, things don’t seem to be running as smoothly as they should be. But are we past the point of no return, or can we turn things around? This week we are joined by the hilarious Amanda Seales, who opens our eyes to some truths about the government. Turns out those dinosaur politicians WANT us to be dumb and uniformed, but we ain’t gonna stand for that! So let’s get fired up and fix shit for ALL the people in this country.
