BTL #380 - Saving America's Leading Science Deniers - 12/21/20

BTL #380 - Saving America's Leading Science Deniers - 12/21/20

It’s almost one month to the day until Joe Biden is president! So, we felt it important to give you permission to hate all of his cabinet picks except Deb Haaland. Plus, we’ll give you all the details on this new stimulus bill (including a breaking news cameo from Carla Nordstrom). Turns out, it’s just as lame and un-stimulating as you’d imagine. We’ve got all this, plus vaccine updates, Bill Barr’s “resignation”, and Space Force. Ugg…Space Force.

BTL #379 - Bridge To The Next Generation - 12/13/20

What better way to kick off an exciting week of vaccine shipments and electoral college voting than listening to BTL?! We’ll give you all the details of the week ahead, as well as cover the shenanigans of Biden’s cabinet picks, some exciting and head-scratching candidacy announcements (NINA TURNER FOR CONGRESS?!), plus we’ll go in-depth on Louis Gohmert’s dental issues. Don’t miss it!

BTL #378 - Toot-liani - 12/7/20

BTL #378 - Toot-liani - 12/7/20

As if we thought no one could possibly embarrass themselves more than Rudy Toot-liani himself, entier…his star witness in Michigan. Also, he has COVID-19 so this whole election stealing charade is pretty much over with. We’ve got all this, plus an update on the stimulus, the new DNC chief, and perhaps most importantly, we’ve got a very special PSA as to why John Ossoff is, in fact, not hot.

BTL #377 - Return of the Blob - 11/30/20

BTL #377 - Return of the Blob - 11/30/20

We promised you sinkholes, and we delivered! We didn’t promise you pig guts, but we delivered on it anyway, so we’re really keeping you on your toes this week. In addition to sinkholes and pig guts, we’ve got an update on Diaper Don’s temper tantrums, Biden’s cabinet announcements, and one of the great updates of all time about Dianne Feinstein. You won’t wanna miss it!

BTL #374 - Old Democrats, New Georgia (w/Guest Kat Calvin) 11/9/20

BTL #374 - Old Democrats, New Georgia (w/Guest Kat Calvin) 11/9/20

Well, it was a long/crazy/exciting/dramatic/emotional roller coaster of a week, so we needed to have a long/crazy/exciting/dramatic/roller coaster of a podcast to honor it. And what better way to do so than to have the one and only Kat Calvin join us?! Trust us, you won’t want to miss it!

BTL #373 - Things Could Always Be Worse - 10/26/20

BTL #373 - Things Could Always Be Worse - 10/26/20

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!!

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!
