Seattle Sucks

Greg, Brian, and Colin begin with groundbreaking and unique movie analysis before moving onto the latest braying from David Horsey in the Seattle Times, Mayor Jenny Durkan's unexpected but chiefly centrist endorsement in the District 2 race ahead of the August 6th primary (which predictably exploded in her face), the progressive image versus the conservative reality of Seattle, and a Platty Wagon wherein we #respectthepolice.

Greg, Brian, and Colin are visited by a spirit before talking about the latest developments in the Sugary Beverage Tax (or more accurately how the money will be used), the uniquely incredible strides toward reform that the Seattle Police Department (SPD) have made, and a bone-chilling opinion in the Seattle Times from erstwhile mayor, Tim Burgess.
