We begin episode #318 by explaining why it didn’t come out a week ago, and the explanation, while understandable, is disgusting. We share our reactions to the first presidential debate, then entertain a listener’s offer to send us to Asia, after which we talk a bit about whether Deism is a good religion. We discuss the issue of ranked choice voting, and then broaden that topic into all the ways our country is not a democracy. Biebers involve FICO scores and peanut butter.
