Listen "It's the Fall of America As We Know It... And I Feel Fine (Ep. 5)"
Episode Synopsis
Travis & Tom react a chaotic week filled with shouting matches, costly tariffs, and wacky speeches all happening in the District of Columbia. They contemplate witnessing the fall of their own nation as well as what is the proper decorum when shopping for groceries. By the way, don't blame us if the stuff we talk about becomes outdated by the time we put this out. We're still working out our scheduling kinks on how to make these things as timely as possible. (Also, the song Tom is thinking of is "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding" by Elvis Costello & The Attractions.
