Greg and Brian get together to discuss an eventful week in both Seattle and international politics. We talk exciting new developments in children’s rights, dive into the new Danny Westnut piece at the Times, and look into the future of vigilantism in the city. Then we duck beneath the iron curtain of Patreon to talk the latest developments in Ukraine and then stare into the abyss that is the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

The boys talk about the Trump conviction and Eve Fartlow’s latest retirement announcement before getting into some exciting local news. Would you believe that the President Ana Mari Cauce blatantly lied about claims of antisemitism on the UW campus? Or that a new Seattle City Council member completely flubbed gutting a popular program in the name of austerity? Or that after 12 years of being under the consent decree, that the culture at SPD is so rotten that our cop-loving mayor is having to hold a national pageant for chief of police? All this and more!

Munya & Brian get together to discuss the beauty of cultural exchange with the Irish before looking back at the 100 Divorced Dad March on the University of Washington. Finally, they discuss some of the biggest winners of the new SPOG contract.

Greg and Brian get together to talk about the meaning of the mass repression of protest on college campuses as well as uncover what happened to a suburban staple.

Greg & Brian catch up on all the exciting news from the past couple of weeks, from the constant need to struggle against revisionism to the new SPOG contract.

Friends of the show Ryan Archibald and Brendan McElmeel are back to finish our discussion of the Byzantine structure of higher education institutions. We uncover the rot at that core of higher education and, guess what, it's the same rot that is hollowing out everything in America!
