Adam Frisch rolled into the Muck You podcast to spill the tea on his wild ride in politics, particularly his fierce showdown with Lauren Boebert in the closest elections in 2022. He’s back in the game for 2026, and let’s just say, he’s got some spicy insights on why Boebert bounced to greener pastures, and how he’s aiming for a comeback with the Welcome Party. The convo gets real as they dive deep into the political landscape, pointing out how the Dems gotta step it up and reconnect with everyday folks in small towns who’ve kinda ghosted them. Frisch emphasizes that it ain’t just about party lines; it’s about getting back to what really matters for the community. Colonel Moe Davis and David B. Wheeler are all ears, ready to soak up Frisch’s wisdom that blends humor with hard truths about today’s political circus.
