Listen, we’re really talking two things today: the fuckass ballroom, and the Venn diagram that is really just a circle between getting your NASTY texts exposed and alleged (you’re welcome, @Legal) white supremacists. Alternatively named “Oops…Wrong Group Chat: Take Three,” this episode covers the leaked Young Republicans group texts, as well as the withdrawal of Paul Ingrassia’s nomination to serve as Special Counsel following his alleged ‘N*zi streak’ texts being released. Like, actually… WTF. Other topics/treats include: our DM to George Santos, Bo-Linda and Abby’s chicken-not-beef with Bojangles, and a conversation about North Carolina’s (continued) gerrymandering.
