BTL #210 - Democratic Dancing - 8/1/16

This week on the podcast... Don't you want to have as much fun as Bill Clinton is having in this picture?  Then listen to us discuss the DNC and all that transpired behind the scenes on this week's podcast!  Plus, Trump's worst media week ever, and some nifty campaigning ideas for the progressives among us!

BTL #209 - Republican Dancing - 7/25/16

BTL #209 - Republican Dancing - 7/25/16

This week on BTL, we do our best to make up for our one-week absence!  We try our hand at reporting breaking news, plus we've got a look ahead at the DNC and a look behind at the (terrifying, disorganized, slapstick-ridden) RNC.  All that plus a discussion on the meaning of your vote and when voter outreach works and doesn't, plus an exciting (read: horrible) update on the week in racism.  And jokes.  We've got jokes too!

BTL #207 - Politicon 2016 - 6/27/16

 BTL #207 - Politicon 2016 - 6/27/16

Well...this week on the podcast, we’ll cover Brexit, the House sit-in, the latest polls, Veepstakes, and Rubio, but first join us on the other side of the theme music for highlights from the most important news story in this very packed week: Our two days at Politicon!!!!

BTL #206 - Run For Office - 6/20/16

BTL #206 - Run For Office - 6/20/16

This week on BTL, we know it's hot and hard to focus on anything but popsicles and swimming pools, but we'd love some answers regarding what our actual election results were here!  1.5 million ballots still uncounted?  Let's fix that!  Then our two great loves, gun control and filibusters, collided last week for an epic democratic-led 15 hour gun control filibuster that warmed our hearts and lifted our spirits but possibly wont result in any actual change.  And those are only two of the zillions of things we covered this week.  We'd think of more to tease but it's too hot.  Just listen.  We promise it'll be fun.

BTL #205 - Kiss the Gold-Plated Ring - 6/13/16

BTL #205 - Kiss the Gold-Plated Ring - 6/13/16

This week on BTL...we've had enough with the damn shootings.  When do we get to talk about gun control again?  Page us when you're ready, America.  Plus, our thoughts on this weekend's eventful Pride, the California primary results, Donald Trump's latest fundraising tactics, Hillary Clinton's victory lap, and more!  And most importantly (aside from, well, the actual news...) BILDERBERG IS BACK and more Illuminati-ish than ever!  Find out which highly international conspiracy plans are on the agenda this year! 

Our Votes Matter

Our Votes Matter

We encourage anybody in a state voting tomorrow to show up to the polls and vote for whoever you damn well please even if you've been told nothing matters anybody and your time would be better spent staring a 24 hour news coverage and eating ice cream. Don't allow your vote to not matter by not casting it.

BTL #204 - Drag Queen Bingo - 6/6/16

BTL #204 - Drag Queen Bingo - 6/6/16

This week on BTL, it's our last podcast before the big day!  Californians will finally (FINALLY) get to weigh in on this year's presidential picks and we can't wait!  Brent, in fact, couldn't wait so much that he drove over an hour on Sunday morning to vote early, meeting up with with unknowing friend-of-the-podcast Marcia Gay Harden in the process.  No word yet on who she voted for, but Brent made some bold decisions and in honor of his sacrifice we've got a good rundown of your California Senate primary choices...all 34 of them. There's plenty more too, including Hillary Clinton's foreign policy speech, Trump's banner week of racism (even for him!), Paul Ryan's panic endorsing, and so much more!  

BTL #203 - Vermin's Return - 5/30/16

BTL #203 - Vermin's Return - 5/30/16

This week on the podcast, Brent was on death's door but rallied so we could bring you one hour of the greatest gossip in the world.  From the rollercoaster of the Hillary/Bernie/Trump debate dramas, to the hilarity and excitement of the Libertarian Party Convention and the return of the Hillary emails saga (this time with extra drama!) this week really had it all!  Plus click to see information about how your can see us live.  That's right, LIVE!  We'll be making an appearance next Sunday so if you're in LA don't miss it!
