Host Maggie Art is back from her break and ready to tackle the "holy moly canollies" of the last few weeks. After swapping T-shirts for parkas overnight, she dives straight into our country's "favorite seasonal tradition": another government shutdown.
Maggie breaks down the political theater, questioning why both sides are playing games with essential services like SNAP and EBT. She shares clips of public outrage, from threats of widespread looting to fierce declarations of self-defense, asking, "How did we get here?"
But is it all just a show to "desensitize the masses"? This episode explores the battle of good vs. evil, digging into wild conspiracy theories, including:
-
Are billionaires building luxury underground bunkers to escape the chaos?
-
Is the shutdown really a power play by massive insurance companies?
-
...And does Garth Brooks have Friends in Low Places who've gone missing?
Join Maggie for a night of fun, music, truth, and a healthy dose of discernment as she wades through the craziness, "Crazy Liberals Time," and a bit of Gen X nostalgia. Grab your favorite beverage (pumpkin spice is overrated), get comfy, and use your discernment.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
