Season 5, Episode 20 - Economist Irwin Seltzer, Costco's butter recall, Democrats prematurely celebrating, Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor, Wicked dolls with a typo, and much more!

In this week's podcast, our quote of the week is from economist Irwin Seltzer, who explains why borrowing and printing money does not result in prosperity for the citizens of the countries that do it. In our "Stupidest thing I've heard all week" segment, we'll tell you which national store chain was forced to recall 80,000 pounds of butter and why In our runner-up to the stupidest thing I've heard all week segment, we'll play a clip of a woman who bought a bottle of Champagne at 5:00 p.m. on election day to celebrate Kamala Harris's winning the election, laughing about the clerk who suggested that her plans to celebrate might be premature. We'll ask, since when is taking videos of yourself crying about your candidate losing the election and then posting them online become a thing? We play a clip of one of them. We'll tell you about the surge in the number of people searching online for the steps involved in immigrating to another country the day after the election and why many of them might be in for a shock when they discover how hard it is to do that. We'll ask if President Biden will keep his pledge not to pardon his son Biden and when he will do so. In our "Things that didn't age well" segment, we'll tell you about two very recent pieces of legislation proposed by Democrats to expand the number of Supreme Court justices and ask what you think would happen if the Republicans re-introduced that same legislation next January, crediting the original sponsors of that legislation. In a related story, we'll tell you why many Democrats are calling for liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor to announce her retirement immediately. We'll tell you why several million Wicked Witch dolls shipped to stores to coincide with the release of the Wizard of Oz movie "Wicked" are being recalled and what you will want to do with a black felt-tipped pen if you already bought one. Our taxpayer relief shot comes to us from Katy, Texas, where a 60-year-old woman confronts two armed and masked home intruders. My apologies for a brief 5-second drop in the audio during the first 2 minutes of the podcast.
