Episode Details

The Dudes open the show on the rise of socialism in Denver — a new poll putting more Mile High voters in the socialist column than the Republican one, and the aftershock of Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros knocking off longtime Rep. Diana DeGette. That conversation spills straight into Chicago, where Mayor Brandon Johnson is using city contracting power to steer taxpayer work toward Black-owned and “diverse” firms and telling Black business owners they will not be left behind. The guys ask the obvious question: when the city starts picking winners by race, who gets locked out?

Later, the fellas dissect Colorado dangling ten grand — and a wider social-equity cannabis pipeline of grants, fee breaks, and license preference — at future minority dispensary owners, and whether “equity” is rebuilding neighborhoods or just another politically connected carve-out in a market that still barely has Black ownership after a decade of legal weed. From there they break down Fidel Castro’s infamous United Nations address on September 26, 1960: four hours and twenty-nine minutes at the podium, the longest timed speech in General Assembly history, a blast at U.S. “imperialism,” and a master class in how a revolutionary sells the world on himself.

The guys close out talking about Target yanking and apologizing for a kids’ Hyde and EEK “Glows Under Blacklight Circus Clown” Halloween costume critics said looked like minstrel-show blackface; CNN going all-in on the race-bait hustle while the story is still hot; and President Trump announcing what he’s calling the biggest oil deal in world history with Venezuela’s interim government — U.S. leverage over roughly 65 billion barrels, a path to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Joe Biden drained, and a fight already underway over whether it’s energy dominance or gunpoint diplomacy.
