In this installment, Chris is joined by Robert to discuss Trump’s Ohio rally, Ron DeSantis’ tricky political position, the political implications of the Florida building collapse, and an in-depth discussion into some of the court rulings during this most recent term. Note: Zoom had some issues with my microphone – specifically, it toggled me from my AT2020+ to my on-board Mac microphone. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch this, but the show’s pretty good & I didn’t think it was worth scrapping the episode and re-taking it when we had a pretty good conversation. For the audio version, I tried to run it through some additional filters to suppress the fan noise more.
