To all of our listeners out there, I just want to let you know,

Hannah and I read every single review of our show.

It's true.

And there's one review left by a user called GeekMe,

and I look at it probably once a week.

Which one is that?

It says here, I'll read it, it says, quote,

I love the work that you guys do and have learned a lot.

But it's become increasingly obvious that the way it's

supposed to work is just window dressing or talking a good game

compared to how things really get done.

You've seen that one, right?

Yeah.

That review haunts me.

It sits like the raven and stares at me when you and I talk about

executive orders or declaring war almost any topic.

Because we've got the rules for how our government works.

It's in the tagline for our show.

And then there's the way those rules are bent.

And I fear that today's episode has the potential

to make GeekMe really frustrated.

You're listening to Civics 101.
