Jared and Mike finally sit down to talk about the embattled political campaign of Graham Platner, who won his primary election in Maine last week and will attempt to dethrone the state's longtime Republican incumbent, Sen. Susan Collins, this fall.

This episode reviews Platner's political career and the cascading personal scandals that have threatened to destroy it, from the problematic Reddit posts to the tattoo that looked awfully similar to a Nazi symbol to the allegations of mistreatment toward women. But despite everything that's been said about Platner — and much certainly has been said — recent pollsstill favor him to win.

To debate what Platner's campaign means for this year's midterm elections, the guys slicked back their hair and sat down over some "sloppy steaks" at Truffoni's. ("It's a steak with water dumped on it. It's really, really good.") 

Graham Platner used to be a real piece of shit. Do Maine voters think people can change?
