It's a tale as old as time. Boy meets girl. Boy considers girl to be sexual conquest. Boy repeats process with several girls because his promiscuity is unchecked. Boy tries to run for national political office using the power of his penis to guarantee votes.

Okay, maybe that's not common. But in this episode, host Tim Baughman Jr is going to pretend that it is in examining whether or not Ludacris would be able to win the US Presidency solely by obtaining the votes of the populous based on states Ludacris had slept with women in the 2001 song "Area Codes". Can Richard Pryor's cousin attain the highest office in the land? Or will another Dogg win this fight?
