BTL #260 - Wildcard Socialism [w/ Ramy Youssef] - 9/18/17

This week on BTL, the hilarious Ramy Youssef joins us to chat about the (still) (forever) (consistently) (even when it defies logic) never-ending Obamacare dramas. Plus we've got the dirt on the Sanders Medicare-for-all bill, our review of the Great 2017 White House Greasy Chinese Food Bonanza that led to a...result of some sort (we'll update when we know exactly what it is), California, St. Louis, and the ongoing dramas of the Strange-Moore Alabama race. So just listen, okay? That means you.

BTL #254 - Branding Mediocrity - 7/24/17

This week on BTL, the depths of the simple things Trump doesn't understand are amazing sometimes, right? Like how health insurance works, how press offices work, how Russia works.  It's an adventure every day with this guy.  Plus, meet Anthony Scaramucci - he's just like his namesake!  And yeah, Sean Spicer is (was?) literally the worst kind of office person on earth. And maybe, just maybe, that's why we loved him.

BTL #242 - The European Margin of Error - 4/24/17

BTL #242 - The European Margin of Error - 4/24/17

This week on BTL, we do a deep dive into the French presidential elections because they're somehow even more entertaining than our own.  Then we review Trump's first 100 days; he doesn't have much to show for it, and let's hope this week doesn't change that. Plus, there's Georgia's 6th, Chaffez's last, and the Tom Perez/Bernie Sanders sideshow that perfectly sums up why "unity" is eluding the Dems. All that, plus an in-depth analysis of Bill O'Reilly's hopefully not-prophetic work of fiction in which an angry, disgraced newsman who's out of a job murders all of his enemies. Eek! Watch out, women everywhere.

BTL #218 - Bad Hombre - 10/24/16

This week on BTL, we've got all the bad hombres, nasty women, and important updates from the final presidential debate.  (Thank god these are over.)  Plus, recent polls are showing thatTrump really doesn’t have much to worry about in the way of rigged elections...he'd have to be close to winning one first.  But don't worry, the rich always come out on top, and Il Duce is no different - Trump TV is the latest business scam hounding this election and it's a doozy!  Tune in, tune up, tune around, and listen to an all new BTL.  Most importantly, it's that time again so REMEMBER TO VOTE!  We'll have a prop cheat sheet up on the site this week!

BTL #217 - The Bad News Brain Trust [Special Guests: Chuck Ludwig/Julianne Simitz] - 10/17/16

This week the hosts of Bad News Live stopped by the studio to chat all things election with us and they were a delight!  Joins us as we talk Trump, butt heads in the friendliest of ways over Hillary Clinton, and wonk out together over where oh where this is possibly going to lead.  Oh, and you know we didn't forget about Chris Christie, right?  We'd never.

BTL #213 - Questionable Medicine - 8/29/16

BTL #213 - Questionable Medicine - 8/29/16

This week on BTL, we've got everything you need to know about every "health of a candidate for elected office" scandal currently in play.  Buckle up, there are a lot of them!  Plus, Trump is now so inconsistent he's not ever sure if he's in favor of deporting Mexicans anymore.  Who is Trump without deportations?  Is he even real?  And the new Sanders org is in hot water because the only place currently experiencing revolutions is the organization's leadership.  All this plus lots more fun, so listen, then rate us on iTunes!

How to Help Defeat Il Duce if You Still Don't Like Clinton/Kaine

How to Help Defeat Il Duce if You Still Don't Like Clinton/Kaine

Many of us are still less than enthused by the Clinton/Kaine ticket, but as your Facebook friends rant about voters who haven’t gone full-Clinton being traitors to the human race, they might be forgetting that that there are thousands of ways to fight the rise of Il Duce without putting time and money into his heavily compromised opponent.  Here are some ideas.
