Remember when you could reasonably assume political leaders were at least moderately intelligent? Those days seem increasingly distant as Greg and Chris dive headlong into the disturbing phenomenon of breathtakingly stupid politicians occupying positions of extraordinary power.

What began as an attempt to find a lighter, less rage-inducing topic quickly transforms into a sobering examination of intellectual decline in American leadership. The hosts tackle the uncomfortable question: Have our politicians always been this unintelligent, or are we witnessing something unprecedented in modern history? While previous generations certainly had their share of corrupt or self-serving representatives, the current crop's fundamental inability to grasp basic concepts feels genuinely alarming.

The conversation takes fascinating turns as they examine the voters who continue supporting demonstrably incompetent candidates. Is it simply party loyalty, identity politics, or something more disturbing—like actively embracing incompetence as long as it hurts perceived enemies, even when it simultaneously harms one's own interests? This exploration of the relationship between elected officials and their constituencies offers disturbing insights into American democracy's current fragility.

The episode culminates with their "Class Photo" of the five dumbest politicians currently wielding significant power, evaluating candidates based on public statements, policy positions, and basic reasoning ability. The results are simultaneously hilarious and terrifying—especially considering these individuals control budgets, influence international relations, and make decisions affecting millions of lives.

Join us for this unfiltered, often darkly humorous journey through the landscape of political incompetence. Whether you're politically engaged or just someone who appreciates the absurdity of our current moment, you'll find yourself laughing, shouting in agreement, and perhaps feeling a renewed sense of civic responsibility by the end.
