The podcast where politics and pop culture collide debates Columbus Day vs Indigenous Peoples Day with Nate Dracon of Drawing the Line podcast. Did Francisco de Bobadilla slander Columbus? Other topics include Greta Thunberg vs Trump and is the Left too quick to use kids to promote their issues? Shep Smith leaves Fox News, should trans women be allowed to compete vs those born women (clip of Neil deGrasse Tyson vs Ben Shapiro is used to provide context to the discussion).

That's not all, folks... Martin Scorsese says Marvel films are not cinema, Beto wants to pull tax exemptions from schools not allowing LGBT kids, Nate promotes the film Annihilation (2019) and Hass reviews a CAO cigar in the Humidor.
