It's December 21th. This day in 1956, President Eisenhower is on his annual retreat to Augusta National golf course in Georgia -- and he is waging a vendetta against a pine tree that keeps getting in the way of his shots.

Jody, NIki, and Kellie discuss why Ike was so obsessed with this tree, how he went to great lengths to get it removed, and whether this obsession distracted him from, you know, the job of being president.
