Don't Worry About The Government

In this installment, Chris celebrates his birthday the only way he knows how: by making yet another episode of this podcast. He is joined by Lindsay, Daniel and Robert. Initially, they were going to talk about UAPs/UFOs, but the “news of the week” section sprawled out into an entire show unto itself. So, as a birthday present (of sorts), the audio and video versions of this episode are available to all.   Don’t get old. And if you do, try to learn something along the way.

Later in the show, they discuss the failure of the Senate to create a 1/6 Commission due to the deployment of the 60-vote non-speaking filibuster threshold.
