September 10, 2017 3:41 PM

"Our good pal Karina Moreno (@KaryinBrooklyn)comes by to talk DACA, immigration, and what to hope and dread about." This was especially informative about the history of the U.S. recruiting Mexican farm workers in the 1960s.

will had to drop out halfway through, and Matt ends up doing a great job taking over as the host who keeps things going and does the reading.

I really enjoyed the guest this week, she has a great radio voice and having someone laugh at the jokes the hosts are making, while dropping a few good ones herself, definitely helped the atmosphere.

Love when they do a good theme song drop during the cold open. The beginning discussion of the Chapo sound board alludes to this episode of Cum Town where the vacationing Stavros is replaced with an iPad app that laughs and talks about food.

Like Felix's mention that firms are just not hiring. They also mention again the faulty premise of the Iran deal, Cuba rapprochement, and DACA - that Democrats will always have the executive branch.
