Ricardo goes on a woke deep dive into the complexity of the decennial gathering of living American statistics, guinea parenting, and culture. Izzy ponders drunken government employees while Klaus dunks on a formal presidential candidate and tiredly confuses gender and orientation...but only for a moment.
P.S. Sorry about that bizarre buzzing in the background, Enzo wasn’t with us for this episode and as usual, we are a mess without him.
