1/10/22 - Thanks, Teachers! (w/Guest Carissa Byrne Hessick)
We took some time off for the holidays and to get Covid, but now we’re BACK for year 3 of 2020. And to help us celebrate our return, we have a very special guest, Carissa Byrne Hessick (@cbhessick), law professor at University of North Carolina. We’ll chat plea bargains, January 6th, and Elizabeth Holmes. Then, Lila and Brent take on the problem(s) with the administration’s covid response, and the insanity of making teacher’s unions the bad guys. Don’t miss this supersized episode!

BTL #358 - Stock Market Sacrifice - 7/13/20
This week on BTL…a uniquely American discussion about why you CAN’T SEND KIDS TO SCHOOL DURING A PANDEMIC. Seriously guys, we shouldn’t need to tell you, but here we are. And speaking of that pesky pandemic, you guessed it, it’s even worse than it was just last week. We’ve got all this, plus election results, fundraising numbers, and all the juicy details from Mary Trump’s tell all!
BTL #348 - Get Some New Tattoos - 4/26/20
Please PLEASE listen to this week’s podcast before ingesting disinfectant or swallowing a UV light. Trust us, you won’t regret it. Plus, we’ve got all the latest news, including a list of all of the states you can now travel to to get both a haircut, and probably…the coronavirus. And you won’t want to miss our in depth discussion on every possibly insane conspiracy theory that could be going on in North Korea right now!
BTL #345 - Pearl Harbor Week - 4/6/20
It’s day number whothehellknows of quarantine, and we’ve got all the latest political Corona Scandal you can handle. Like, why on earth are we having primaries with in-person voting? Why is Brian Kemp so immensely stupid? And will people get their measly $1200 before September? FInd out on this week’s episode!
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?
