It's been a month since the last episode... and sh*t got weird. Inflation is at a 40 year high but also not that high (?) depending on how you look at it. BoJo finally rode off screaming into the sunset, a President broke up with his country over email, and somehow there were not one but two Super Marios on this week's episode.
PLUS a new episode next week: Jan 6th Hearings Season 1 recap & interview with author and academic, Chris Blattman, on his new book: Why We Fight.
