In episode 008, the final installment of Season One, we delve into the peculiar and petrifying world of eusocial insects—the Borg of the creepy-crawly world—as well as one of the experts who study them, and take a hair-raising and jaw-dropping look at the many, many times people have tried (and thankfully failed) to kill the occupants of the Oval Office.

NOTE: In this segment, Brandon mentions that the governor of California was, and is once again, Jerry Brown. And so he was when this particular episode was first recorded in the late summer of 2018. However, changes in the release schedule pushed this episode to the very end of the season, which concluded in February of 2019, after Gavin Newsom took over that position.
