They finish up dissecting what country singer Jason Aldean is really saying with his new song "Try That In A Small Town."

Show notes

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the court filing by Rudy Giuliani that admits he lied about voter fraud in Georgia as it reveals the true mindset of the GOP as a whole.

They wrap up with the real possibility that we as a society won't have bananas anymore.
