    Re-Election:The Addams Family Vs Wrestling Politician's W/Ella Tailor

    It's another Re Election week! We are rivisting Episode Four! Special note from the guest this week and the Editor/producer writing this, everytime someone says Garak just pretend you hear "Ella" easy peasy.  ENJOY THE SHOW!! This week, we grapple with two worlds where loyalty, drama, and larger-than-life personas collide: wrestlers turned politicians and their fictional counterparts, the Addams Family. What happens when these characters take their weird lives into politics?  Can a fire-breathing bigot beat a genteel goth in the polls? And which fictional family member would thrive in a primary?  "Wrestlers in Politics": From Glenn Jacobs (Kane) as Knox County's mayor to Jesse Ventura rewriting Minnesota's political history, we explore the bizarre trajectory of grapplers in government.  "Meet the Addams Family": A deep dive into how these guys would fare in the political ring. Who could win over swing states, and which member has the hustle to take the campaign trail?  "Gomez Adams vs. John Cena": Could the world's most famous invisible man out-campaign the Addams patriarch? We set the stage in Florida, 2004, and let the battle of charisma unfold.  "Lurch vs. Abraham Lincoln": Two tall legends go head-to-head. Would Lincoln's wrestling chops hold up against Lurch’s reach and measured pace? The stats—and the history books—say.. maybe.  "Morticia vs. Linda McMahon": A showdown for Connecticut’s governor’s seat in 2012. Policy wonk Linda meets her match in Morticia’s gothic charm. Who can win over the Nutmeg State’s swing voters?

    ReElection: Who Said it? Metal Gear Solid or The GW Bush Administration?

    Hey folks, this is a Rebroadcast of the Infamous Metal Gear Solid episode. It felt fitting given the inevitable abolition of the DHS. Let's revisit it's beginnings! ____________________________________________________________________ There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know. But there is also. . .Metal Gear. Who said it? A Japanese Video Game Developer or a Conservative American Politician?: More importantly, who gave Hideo Kojima the Lathe of Heaven? We connect the dots between Metal Gear’s critique of American politics and the modern challenges of Living with the reality of those politics.
