In this episode of The Dye Is Cast, Dalton kicks things off with a life-changing shoe-lacing hack—the heel locker trick—because who knew tying your shoes wrong could hold you back in life? He then dives into the mystery of the United Healthcare Assassin, recorded before any big reveals, with some wild theories in tow. Next, he unpacks Mexico’s presidential election, where the campaign slogan might as well have been ‘Survive to Serve’ after a string of candidate deaths.

The conversation shifts to Biden’s eyebrow-raising pardon of Hunter and his suspicious ties to Ukraine, followed by Dalton’s libertarian critique of U.S. involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and why America needs to quit funding foreign wars. He also shares his “The Real Anthony Fauci” based opinion of Anthony Fauci, questioning whether he might end up with a preemptive pardon and what it could truly mean.

California takes a beating next—for its massive debt, comically slow vote counting, and audacious plan to adopt the federal tax credit. Finally, Dalton takes down the internet’s favorite debate: Man vs. Bear, explaining why this meme proves the internet’s capacity for the dumbest arguments. Come for the insights, stay for the laughs (and maybe fix how you tie your shoes).”
