Summary
folks, happy 2026! we're back and we'd love to talk about the Middle Ages but current events have overtaken us and we are forced to talk about the dying empire that is America. we chat about the illegal and baffling kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro and his wife, the ramifications of the event on global politics, the murder of Renee Nicole Good by ICE agents in Minneapolis, and the coming domestic fallout. sorry to start on a bummer but we'll be back to the Middle Ages next time!
