“Although this podcast has strayed a bit far from the original premise, it has only gotten better over time. Great job! I am only at the Quantum Boogaloo episode, but I am enjoying the podcast. I would like to correct an implication you brought up in the Quantum Boogaloo episode. In it, you pointed out how they mentioned Ferb is at Camp David. The conclusion you drew is that Ferb is the President. This mistake is understandable, considering you are Aussies, but Ferb is ineligible to be President for several reasons. First of all, he was born in England, not the United States, which disqualified him. Secondly, the minimum age to be President is 35. This means Ferb would have to be at least 15 in the original series, which he clearly is not. There are four possibilities (that I can think of) that would explain why Ferb is at Camp David. One is the US government has collapsed and has been replaced by a new Constitution. Another is Ferb was so popular, an Amendment to the present constitution was passed making him eligible. The third is that Ferb is the head of state of some other nation, probably the UK, and on a diplomatic trip. The final is that, since Ferb does have a love interest in Vanessa, and since Vanessa was born in the United States and would be at least 35, Ferb is married to Vanessa and Vanessa is President. Sorry to bother you, but I am a bit of a US history/government nut and this was eating me up. Keep up the good work!”
