BTL #344 - We're Number One! - 3/30/20

Last week we we begged for Joe Biden to emerge and show leadership, and this week…all of America is begging him to immediately go back into hiding. But hey, at least we were able to pass a $2T Coronavirus relief bill, and in doing so, realize that we can just make up $2T! That’s right, don’t let ANYONE ask you how we’re going to pay for anything ever again. So settle in and get ready to Invoke Some P on this week’s episode!

BTL #342 - Pandemic - 3/16/20

Well, we’re in a pandemic, guys. This week’s podcast was recorded from two different homes because…social distancing…but we didn't want to miss the chance to talk about Sunday’s bizarro audience-less debate, Trump’s lack of basic scientific understanding and denial, and all the increasing pandemonium of having no competent leadership during a dramatic pandemic. Also, sorry about your 401K. (And ours.) Maybe having basic social protections (but isn’t that socialism!?) isn’t such a bad thing after all?
