This week, we talk about Sewer Socialism and how this version of socialism with such an unfortunate, but intentional name, is the source of so many things we know and love today. We also discuss how Sewer Socialism is something we should all focus on to help catapult (or trebuchet if you prefer) better communities and society as a whole into the future.

This is our last episode of 2025, although it will first air in early 2026. We recorded a special Christmas Eve episode where we chat about our personal yuck, yums, and holy f**ks of 2025. Trumps second term makes the list, ICE makes an appearance, and GEO Group also gets our disgust. We also talk about some happy things like different people agitating in different ways and lanes, the whole state of Minnesota, a graduated income tax going on the ballot in 2026, and many more things.
