We open with Wisconsin governor candidate Francesca Hong answering for her deleted “Cancel Thanksgiving” post. The crew calls her response evasive, then turns to Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, where Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens represent competing progressive and establishment paths. The discussion expands to electability, socialist policy, control of Congress, and a possible Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez presidential bid in 2028.
Fight Club brings a sprawling brawl from Tropicana Atlantic City, complete with shirts coming off and the crew questioning casino security, late-night gamblers, and bus-trip chaos. Kayal’s Kitchen follows with Australian lamb street tacos made with garlic, lime, tzatziki, feta, cucumber, and tortillas. The crew scores Nick’s plate while debating portions, cilantro, and whether the dish belongs closer to Greece or Mexico.
Kamala Harris’ “no bad idea brainstorm” starts a long argument over the Electoral College, adding Supreme Court seats, and statehood for Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. We also debate raising or lowering the voting age, tying civic privileges to taxes or military service, and whether college still delivers enough value compared with skilled trades.
