Your favorite political podcast is back with all of the non-political, Olympic news you can handle! But just because we’re in the golden age of ice dancing doesn’t mean we don’t have time to remind you that the jobs numbers are fake, that Joe Biden is a nightmare, and that our new excuse for everything in life is that we are just ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse. Enjoy!
