Sorry for the terrifying thumbnail image, but we wanted to be 100% certain you Mitch McConnell’s hands. Also, it’s almost Halloween so it just felt right. Anyway, we’ll be talking about ol’ Undead Mitch (our terrible Trump-style nickname that doesn’t rhyme or have alliteration) along with the final debate, the latest early vote totals, the latest covid numbers, and the latest INSANE conspiracy theories that Trump and Fox News have cooked up. You won’t want to miss our LAST PODCAST BEFORE THE ELECTION. GO VOTE, PEOPLE!!

BTL #372 - Who Needs The News - 10/19/20

We here at Brain Trust Live are now officially voters in the 2020 election! Yep, we’re 2 of the 22 million people who have already cast ballots. This means we are also 2 people who just REALLY wish we could disconnect from reality until this election is over. But because we’re such caring people, we’ve read all the news anyway just so we can rant about it to you! We’ve got it all - dueling town halls, SCOTUS hearings, the latest Trump conspiracy theories, and so much more!

Fires are ravaging the West Coast, but don’t worry, Trump and his forest rakes are on the way! And hey, did you guys hear about those Rhode Island primaries this week? You almost certainly didn’t, so we’ll fill you in. Plus, Biden’s campaign is having the exact problems you’d expect them to be, so we offer them some simple solutions. All this plus the Woodward tapes, the failed Coronavirus relief bill, and Trump’s Noble prize. Check it out!

BTL #365 - Operation Block Ivanka - 8/31/20

Get excited…the Massachusetts primaries we’ve been obsessing over are finally here on Tuesday! We’ll tell you everything to look out for, and why the Morse/Neal race means way more than you might think. Plus, we’ll cover the RNC and tell you why we’re appropriately terrified now that we’ve seen both conventions. Plus, another week, another tragic shooting of an unarmed black man. So PLEASE keep sharing those action items so people know what to do to help make a real difference.

BTL #364 - 2004 RNC - 8/24/20

Well, we sure hope you weren’t expecting us to not go on an hour long tirade about the Democratic National Convention this week, because we definitely do that. Plus, we’ll get you all prepped for this week’s RNC, which is sure to be good/terrible/insane train-wreck TV (aka - our favorite kind). And most importantly, we seek to answer one of life’s great questions: how many collared shirts is the right amount to be wearing at one time when getting arrested on a $28M yacht?

BTL #363 - Massachusetts: Who Knew? - 8/17/20

What an epic episode! As it turns out, when you have a lot of news to talk about and one of your hosts is working through some rage issues, you end up with a super fun podcast. We’ll discuss the Veep pick we all saw coming, some exciting primary results, and some wild upcoming primaries in Massachusetts. But most importantly, we’ll direct our rage at the DNC, the convention organizers, and Biden and his supporters for their terrible “outreach” to voters on the left. Don’t miss it!

BTL #362 - Rabid Bats - 8/10/20

Another week and another set of progressive primary victories, some of which you probably haven’t even heard about! Also, another week and still even more wacky Veep speculations. Remember Gretchen Whitmer? 😑. All this plus a detailed look at what’s ACTUALLY in these silly Trump executive orders, rage at the Democratic Convention organizers, and a story about presidential politics and rabid bats. Because #2020
