What.A.Week! Somehow we saw both death of the American job market AND the resurrection of the stock market. Which means it must be Easter…and the end of capitalism! So celebrate both exciting events with us as we explore all the week’s news. We’ll debate the merits of Joe BIden’s veep options, tell you all the ways America is #1 (hint: it’s our number of Coronavirus cases) and as is our Easter tradition, Brent attempts to explain the story of Easter to Lila.
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 #343 - The Longest Year of the Week - 3/22/20
It’s a BTL Quarankiki! This week, we’re continuing to podcast from a totally safe distance apart to bring you all the latest doomsday news. Is Trump actively trying to kill us? Why is the Senate gym/pool still open? And most importantly, where is Joe Biden and why doesn’t he already have high-speed at his home? Find all the answers here…we know you have time!!
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?
BTL #341 - Super Tuesday (w/ Guest Carla Nordstrom) - 3/9/20
This week on the podcast, we’ve been hearing so much about the 1968 Democrats that we brought our own boomer onto the show to relive that time and discuss how it compares to now. Plus, updates on our Senate 2020 project, thoughts on how to move on from the crushing blow of Super Tuesday, and one area in which we definitely did win: Chris Matthews is gone!
BTL #338 - We Must NEVER Vote for Michael Bloomberg - 2/17/19
This week on the podcast, two major points: Liz Warren should stay in the race for president come hell or high water, and we must NEVER, EVER, NEVEREVER vote for Michael Bloomberg. Don’t speak it, don’t think it, don’t justify it. That and, of course, updates on New Hampshire, the race as it stands, Tuesday’s DOJ massacre, and so much more.
BTL #334 - The Ken Starr Comeback Tour - 1/20/20
This week on BTL, Donald Trump and Lev Parnas were definitely friends because there are a million pictures out there just like this one! Plus, we’ll share one really important self-care tip for the next #DemDebate, which you’ll need because next week’s TV schedule is going to be 25 hours a day of CSPAN thanks to Impeachment Palooza 2020! Thank God Ken Starr is doing a comeback tour! It’s all this and much, much more!
