In what is sure to be a maxed out deal, the whole gang gets together to cover a sweeping range of topics (possibly too many). Butler and Vane are joined by their correspondents Crocus and Axiom as we say goodbye to everyone's favorite segment "Popewatch". We do our regular check in on the cast of freaks and ghouls handling the country's immigration policy. Then, of course, we check in on the Democrats and their misadventures and round out the discussion with a bit of ASMR and parasocial armpit talk too!
