Man kids, this was an episode, and definitely our longest!

This led to fights among politicians, fights among the populace and a Kentucky that was damn near broken afterwards. Into all of this we discuss Arthur deciding what profession he wants to pursue (he wants to be a paleontologist, y'all), our sadness from recent deaths caused by ICE and some of our latest Instagram discoveries, in this packed full episode all about a divisive time in the state of Kentucky episode of the Family Plot Podcast!
