Well, better late than never, that's what they say, right? To make up for our tardiness, we bring you "two GD hours" of prime podcasting.

We discuss the "ceasefire" in Gaza, Nick's braggadocious dreams about Bill "AIPACman" Ackman, then go down a politics rabbit hole from Graham Platner to Adelita Grijalva to Katie Porter to Marjorie Taylor Greene as we try to diagnose the Democratic Party's failure to court disaffected voters. We bring the discussion back home with Nick's recounting of a Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate's candor about their marital strifes and outlandish proposals.

Then, Nick recites all of the nicknames Shawn gave Gus in the TV show Psych, trying to pick a favorite and Alex brags about his baseball achievements. To bring it all home, Nick takes NYTimes quizzes on basketball and being a "true New Yorker".
