Happy Black History Month from the Plunge! Rachey’s joining us to celebrate Bernie Sanders’ 2020 campaign announcement and the return of a human with a pulse to the multi-year horse race circus that we ritually subject ourselves to. We go deep on the Bernie bro myths, see how he stacks up to his competitors, and evaluate how the internet has collectively lost it a full year and a half away from the election. In the pop culture corner, we discuss the preposterous boomer fantasy Yesterday, Friday night’s foolish conservative sitcom power hour on Fox, and former White House press secretary Sean Spicer’s new commentator gig on Extra. We close out with the latest updates from the Amazon Lord of the Rings series’ writers’ room, which is literally professionally guarded and hermetically sealed from the outside world by a fingerprint scanner. What could be inside? Find out on the Plunge!
