Summary

Bob and Ben respond to feedback about their episode on the 1776 project, evaluate the "worst President ever" claim, and discuss the utopian vision of "unbiased history." Ben tries to focus on asking Bob questions and doesn't exactly pull it off. Ben learns about Marjorie Taylor Greene's conspiracy theories for the first time from Bob and they contemplate how to deal with the proliferation of conspiracy theories. Ben spends the whole episode being happy that Bob's back.
