Episode notes
If you thought California politics couldn't get any more ridiculous than it already it, I have a story for you. Because today, we're taking a break from ballot propositions and are heading about halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, to a tiny little city in the San Joaquin Valley called Avenal. I promise you, this is not a story I could have made up if I tried.
