We Were (Joe) Biden Our Time But We (Candace) Owens You An Episode About Tara Reade: After Jesse gets things off to a fantastic start with an uplifting story about dog feces, the hosts finally relent and discuss the Joe Biden/Tara Reade situation.

Jesse then tries to unpack Online Validity Discourse, leading the cohosts to discuss questions like "What does it even mean to be valid?," "How many people can you have sex with before you're not asexual anymore?," and "Would Jesse dress better if he were gay?" The show ends with a brief chat about the show's possible Patreon future. by Blocked and Reported
