What A Day - The Argument For Still Caring About Impeachment
President Trump’s impeachment defense has rested its case before the Senate. This after they only used 12 of 24 allotted hours to argue against the president’s removal, and after many experts pointed out that their defense of the president is extraordinarily weak-sauce. We discuss what's next and why we should continue to care.
There was a special election in Texas on Tuesday, where Republican Gary Gates easily defeated Democrat Eliz Markowitz by a double-digit margin for a seat in the Texas House of Representatives. We interview former congressman Beto O'Rourke to find out what Texas dems are fighting for.

The Goods from the Woods - Episode #283 – “The Halftime Show” with Omar Nava
In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys are joined by comedian Omar Nava to talk about "THE BIG GAME ON SUNDAY" but, more specifically, this is a deep dive into the history of the "THE BIG GAME ON SUNDAY"'s halftime show. Beginning with its humble roots planted in marching bands in the late-60s and "Up with People" and Disney schlock in the 70s and 80s, the Halftime Show has evolved right alongside the culture to become the most telling cultural bellwether of the declining American Empire. Also, Katy Perry showed us "left shark" and Justin Timberlake showed us a left boob. This is an episode that's been in the works for years now and we're so excited to finally bring it to you. We're gonna have you naked by the end of this pod! Follow Omar on Twitter @OmarXNava. Follow the show on Twitter @TheGoodsPod.
