Episode 397:There Can Be Only One (Independence Day)

There were some tech issues (not my fault this time!) (Okay, the weird scratchy noise against the mic was my fault...but not the issues that I'm referring to) so Bart isn't keeping tight notes on this one. Next week the notes and links should be properly set, but this week,...I don't get paid promotion or large enough following to worry about this...

The show is only Bart this time, and he talks about ride sharing sting operations, Texans losing control of their thermostats because apparently they can't read, and the GOP pretends that making a holiday out of Juneteenth is too confusing for people and definitely not because they're bigoted trash. Have a great week!
