Doubles: Wallace v Anderson (w/o Dennis Budde and Aaron Garrett)
Aaron and Dennis are separated by time, space, and fate. Still, they persevere and tell you the life and times of George Wallace and John B. Anderson.
Dennis does an absolutely hysterical bit, and Aaron does dry history stuff. The world is as it should be.
George Wallace is the last moderately electorally successful third party candidate and John B Anderson pleaded for a centrist lane against the progressive poles of Carter and Reagan.

Pop Quiz!: Dennis v Trivia
Due to a big rock getting rolled away Dennis and Aaron are momentarily reflecting on the last season's episodes and checking in to see how much Dennis retained.
Did Ulysses Grant's horse get any electoral vote? Who wanted a third term? And who was Orval Fauvus? All these questions and little else are answered on this edition of Presidential Death Match!

It's all inside this episode of Presidential Death Match!
