Changing up the format for this week, we decided to do a little check in with American politics, in case you need help keeping up. Plus some stories from Lily’s daily life in Russia. Smith presents the meat of the episode with several hand-selected moments from the absurd mayhem that is US politics this past week. Topics include Trump & 40,000 Boy Scouts, everyone and his brother crooning over “The Maverick” McCain (aka when you get sick, people forget all the bad things you did), how America is slapping Russia’s wrist this time, and of course the shenanigans of The Moochster-- we recorded this before his ousting.

Theme music is "Shit Happens" by Tierra Whack
