Tim and Ray invent a fictional progressive squad of obese Midwestern congressmen called "The Squish," riffing on their absurd platform of banning police and military and feuding with AOC's squad.

In this bit10 moments
  • Tim explains why modern congresspeople like Marjorie Taylor Greene are lunatics: the grift is over and there's nothing left to exploit.
  • Tim proposes creating his own version of The Squad with four fat Midwestern guys who would be more progressive than the actual members.
  • The catchphrase for this group would be 'Yeah, we've got guts'—they'd push for a federal amendment banning both the military and police.
  • Tim names the group 'The Squish'—four 450-pound Midwestern progressives positioning themselves to the left of AOC and Ilhan Omar.
  • The Squad accuses The Squish of playing dirty politics while claiming their own agenda is more realistic.
  • AOC holds a press conference defending productive dialogue with The Squish while acknowledging they won't compromise or be reined in.
  • Tim transitions The Squish into a communist organization that deals with constant turnover because all the members are morbidly obese.
  • Tim describes The Squish's radical platform: removing all monuments from federal buildings immediately and burning flags outside Jimmy John's.
  • Tim predicts newspapers like the New York Post would run headlines about 'Squash The Squish' if this movement actually emerged.
  • Tim wraps up by encouraging listeners to attend the University of Austin and start their lives there, suggesting it could prevent The Squish from happening.
