·1 hr 17 min·5 clips

Brandy declares Ashli Babbitt got the justice she deserved on January 6th, calling the police officer who shot her a hero.

The episode begins with Julie and Brandy's signature theme song, establishing their 'dumb gay' political commentary style. They note the episode's release on the five-year anniversary of the January 6th Capitol riot. Brandy discusses her obsessive social media fights defending the police shooting of Ashli Babbitt, whom she labels a 'traitorous cunt.' The hosts then shift to opening listener mail, receiving makeup wipes, a Glassy Baby candle holder, Garrett's popcorn, and a Tiny Chef plush from fans. After the ad break, they launch into a detailed analysis of current events under 'The Trump Shit Show Season 2.' They report that Trump's administration invaded Venezuela and kidnapped its president, Nicolás Maduro, under the pretext of fighting narco-terrorism, which they argue is a cover for seizing Venezuela's oil reserves. Julie connects this action to the missed Department of Justice deadline to explain redactions in the Epstein files, suggesting a strategic distraction. They discuss the hypocrisy of Trump pardoning a convicted Honduran drug trafficker while attacking Venezuela. Julie reveals that Marco Rubio's brother-in-law was a prolific cocaine trafficker. The hosts then analyze Marjorie Taylor Greene's recent interview and tweet criticizing Trump's pardon, interpreting it as a sign of her political disillusionment. They play a clip of Greene evading questions about Nick Fuentes and his Nazi sympathies. The episode concludes with a Patreon pitch and a parody skit of Trump announcing his takeover of Venezuela.
