Ep 390: Pimping The Carr

In Ep. 390 Ken and Dave start the show by demonstrating how little they know about sports. Then they discuss James Comey in trouble, DEI trouble for the Atlanta airport, the War Department hoedown, agricultural payoffs, some sheriffs pick their gubernatorial candidate, MLB moves into the twenty-first century, and the ICE shooting.

Show Notes Topics:

• Farmers receiving cash bailouts funded by tariff revenue, examining how these funds primarily benefit large corporate farms over smaller independent ones.
