Seamus and Ben are joined by friends of the pod Becky Beaver and Melissa Schapero as well as new friend Emily Bell to discuss the Georgia runoff elections, the attempted coup on the United States Capitol, and Trump soon being gone (and the ensuing GOP civil war). Along the way, we try prank calling a pro-Trump Super PAC. Finally, Ben admits what we have all known for a long time: he is a terrible human being (his words).

Episode 125: State Committee Chaos (feat. Rebecca Pinn)

Seamus and Ben are joined by YDA Secretary Rebecca Pinn to discuss the recent dysfunction that was the Massachusetts Democratic State Committee Chair election and how the Democratic Party needs to start listening to activists and small dollar donors if they are to thrive. (Basically, Ben and Seamus are letting Rebecca use their podcast to vent. A guest gets some catharsis and the hosts get another episode recorded after taking about 6 weeks off... everyone wins.)
