You’ve heard of “Netflix and chill,” but what if I told you about “Medicare and FAP?” With these immortal words, Doug and Todd open the second episode of the Attention Deficit Hyperactive Politics podcast with a case for instituting a guaranteed basic income, including a brief analysis of pilot programs and the conclusions we can draw from them.
In Weekly Political News, the duo focus on the stories that show how the Trump Admin is failing to live up to Pete Carroll’s “win forever” mantra - that is, instead of getting better every day, right now America is getting worse.
The show concludes with the patented “What’s Geek this Week?” segment, which constitutes the back half of the episode. On the nerd-docket this week are the new Avengers: Doomsday announcement, the potential revival of a hidden gem, and some good ol’ fashioned reminiscing on classic cartoons that are up for modern reboots. Turn the volume up and take a ride!
