What Are You Going to Do About It, Nerds?

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, HAPPY 2026! It’s an election year, most likely a very good one for the blue team, that is unless we find a way to get in our own way which we very well could! But first, are we at war with Venezuela? It depends who you talk to. Or what social media platform you’re on, or what your definition of “war” is, or what party you belong to. Then, Donald Trump just can’t stop fucking with Colorado, and even our Republican members of Congress passing unanimous bills to get clean drinking water to Republican counties are getting caught in the crossfire. 

Then, we take a walk down memory lane to 2025 which was a really, really bad year. Our 6th and 8th favorite members of Congress from Colorado try to justify their existences, and we do some 2026 prognosticating. 

That’s it for this episode!
