Welcome to adulthood, where conflict is less about actual shouting and more about side-eyeing someone into oblivion while whispering “I’m fine” with enough passive-aggression to wilt a cactus.
This week, Pete accidentally runs for office and Tommy desperately tries to get selected for jury duty—two adults chasing civic engagement like it’s a slightly weird amusement park ride with no height requirement. Along the way, we unpack the absurd beauty of local government, honor the sacred power of the “I Voted” sticker, and guide you through a meditation that ends—quite naturally—in institutional collapse.
