National Fajita Day starts the hour before Greg Stocker gets into it with members of the YouTube chat who accuse the show of being controlled by George Soros. From there we get to the morning’s “Fang Fang Bang Bang” story as newly released FBI files say Eric Swalwell admits to physical encounters with suspected Chinese operative Christine Fang. The crew also learns more about Katie Miller’s past with Swalwell and turns Washington dating history into a ridiculous discussion of political figures who might make entertaining party guests.
After a caller gives Ana a strong review in Dawn’s chair, we move toward the Cut Sheet with radio and rock-trivia banter, Howard Stern staff stories and a larger argument over ego, self-criticism and parenting. The crew argues that adults have become too reluctant to criticize bad behavior, then compares raising kids to coaching: pressure them when things are going well and help build them back up when they are struggling.
