Andy and Charles talk about the litigation over the blanket USAID contractual "pause" through the lens of Andy's former job as a federal civil trial attorney and how DOGE is probably wreaking havoc throughout the DOJ civil branches.

S3 Draft Special w Charles / Four Verts of Football 301

Andy, Charles and Tim discuss the sanctioning of UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine Francesca Albanese after her report on corporate complicity in Israel's devastating attack on Gaza, the meaning of free speech beyond the Constitution and how the Trump administration is forgetting the point of international diplomacy and the world that the UN grew out of.

The Saints lose another one they had in their hands and Truthdig's Jeb Lund joins us to Get Our Ass. Skooks is back as our Man in the Dome as the Saints fall to 0-2 and Who Dat Nation loses control of the Dome to 49ers fans who don't like waiting to pee.

S3E4 Bills with Victoria Zeller (DirtbagQueer)

The Saints finally get a W (26-14 over the Giants) and David Roth joins Charles to talk about, well, not the game exactly, but game-adjacent things. L. Ron wasn't able to join the main chat but he was available to talk to Charles and Skooks, our Man in the Dome. And even though he couldn't join the chat, Ron managed to Get Dave's Ass. Plus, Charles lets his bar buddy Alex vent a little. There's a lot of Skattebo going on.

City Saint / Country Saint S3E5 Giants with David Roth

Another depressing loss for the Saints, this time for the Patriots, but at least L. Ron and Charles get to welcome in the charming Josh Gondelman. Skooks is a breath of fresh air as the Man in the Dome, refusing to let losing get in the way of watching a young team develop in a fun way.

Josh is everywhere, including his newsletter, That's Marvelous (https://www.thatsmarvelousnewsletter.com/) and his most recent comedy special, Positive Reinforcement (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAvNlgpdKKo). Plus, he cohosts the comedy shows Frankenstein's Baby (https://www.instagram.com/frankenbabynyc/?hl=en) and 'Sup Bro at Union Hall in Park Slope.
