Today’s episode is a little different. We’ve got Sam Bregman, the current Bernalillo County District Attorney, former Albuquerque city councilor, longtime attorney, and now candidate for governor of New Mexico. Instead of doing a typical (what is that around here?) episode, we’re using a TV show about oil, labor, wealth, and local fallout to talk about the actual politics of this state. Sam Bregman was appointed Bernalillo County DA in 2023 and later elected to continue in the office; his background includes prior work as an assistant DA, private attorney, and Albuquerque city councilor.

Talking about the reality of the political future of energy in New Mexico. . .Vs Landman the most fantastical look at the subject of Fossil Fuels in some time.

It's another Re Election week! We are rivisting Episode Four! Special note from the guest this week and the Editor/producer writing this, everytime someone says Garak just pretend you hear "Ella" easy peasy.

ENJOY THE SHOW!!

This week, we grapple with two worlds where loyalty, drama, and larger-than-life personas collide: wrestlers turned politicians and their fictional counterparts, the Addams Family. What happens when these characters take their weird lives into politics?

Can a fire-breathing bigot beat a genteel goth in the polls? And which fictional family member would thrive in a primary?

• "Wrestlers in Politics": From Glenn Jacobs (Kane) as Knox County's mayor to Jesse Ventura rewriting Minnesota's political history, we explore the bizarre trajectory of grapplers in government.
  
  
• "Meet the Addams Family": A deep dive into how these guys would fare in the political ring. Who could win over swing states, and which member has the hustle to take the campaign trail?
• "Gomez Adams vs. John Cena": Could the world's most famous invisible man out-campaign the Addams patriarch? We set the stage in Florida, 2004, and let the battle of charisma unfold.
• "Lurch vs. Abraham Lincoln": Two tall legends go head-to-head. Would Lincoln's wrestling chops hold up against Lurch’s reach and measured pace? The stats—and the history books—say.. maybe.
• "Morticia vs. Linda McMahon": A showdown for Connecticut’s governor’s seat in 2012. Policy wonk Linda meets her match in Morticia’s gothic charm. Who can win over the Nutmeg State’s swing voters?
