We explore the curious spike in fender benders that coincide with election time, and share a laugh about a woman who somehow managed to get into two in one day. Yet, things get serious as we discuss the political landscape, including Tony Inchman's comments that have stirred the pot for Trump's campaign and raised eyebrows about leadership competency following a mishap at a construction site. The art of political humor gets a spotlight as well, especially when a quip about Puerto Rico ignites a swift backlash in our reactive political climate.

Have you ever been let down by a movie? Our conversation takes a turn toward the intersection of celebrities and politics, starting with a disappointment in the latest Reagan film and moving to Cardi B's awkward moment at a Kamala Harris event.

Through these discussions, the importance of voting, despite personal disillusionment, remains a central theme.

From school dress codes sparking controversy to the influence of media on parenting, we tackle a range of pressing social issues. The conversation explores the impact of gender dynamics and political manipulation on voting, drawing parallels to the diplomatic skills needed in international relations. We liken the podcast world to the unscripted charm of classic talk shows and end on a light note, encouraging everyone to participate in democracy while keeping their voting choices private. Tune in for a candid conversation that mixes humor with hard-hitting topics.
