Description

On today's milestone 200th episode, I kick things off by discussing why I shouldn't have to fund NPR and PBS, followed by my top five songs from Taylor Swift's new album.

Then, I dive into a biblical roast-off: who's more like King Nebuchadnezzar - Donald Trump or Gavin Newsom? With Trump's love for monuments, golden branding, and courtroom humblings, and Newsom's perfect hair, Babylonian-scale boondoggles, and fiery policy furnaces, both seem ready to claim the Nebuchadnezzar crown. Through a sarcastic, biblical lens, I explore pride, power, and the humbling hand of God - reminding us that whether you're tweeting at 3 a.m. or banning gas stoves at breakfast, the grass always wins in the end.
