The BTL California Propositions and Ballot Guide - November 2022

It’s that time again! Our CA Prop Guide is here! It covers all seven state-wide props with our usual mix of panache and…mild irritation. Feel free to share this guide far and wide because, look, nobody has time to research all the motherf*ing props this state throws at us.

5/23/22 - Let Them Eat Formula!

It’s our favorite season of the year…election season! And it’s really heating up. This week we got confirmation from the people of Pennsylvania that they hate Conor Lamb just as much as we do, and that made us feel great. We’ll cover all of Tuesday’s wild results and look ahead to Texas and Georgia’s primaries this week. All that, plus a deep dive into New York’s wild redistricting drama!

3/1/22 - LA Needs A Mayor (w/Guest Chris Melody Fields Figueredo of BISC)

We’re back! And we’ve watched Love is Blind and have thoughts to share. Plus, maybe WWIII is happening? Ugg. But also…elections are happening! So we’ll fill you in on all the news you may have missed on the LA Mayor’s race, and the Texas primary which is happening…Today! Plus, we’ve got an awesome interview with Chris Melody Fields Figueredo from the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center to talk about one of our favorite subjects…PROPS! Don’t miss it!

10/25/21 - Zebras on the Loose [w/guest Tatenda Musapatike]

What a blast we had with our amazing guest, Tatenda Musapatike! She’s so smart and funny that we could have talked politics with her for 2 hours. So…that’s exactly what we did! Don’t worry, there’s some Real Housewives talk to break it all up. Check it out, we promise you it’s a fun one!

8/2/21 - A Time For Disagreement with Kyrsten Sinema

We’re back after a brief vacation! And against all odds, it’s still infrastructure season! We may now have either a bipartisan deal, a $3.5T deal through reconciliation, or both or neither. We’re betting on…neither. Plus we’ve got hot takes on the Olympics, Covid-19, and Sarah Palin’s fool’s errand of a senate run. Don’t miss it!

6/22/21 - The Dem Consensus on Consensus w/Guest Kat Calvin (@KatCalvinLA)

We welcome back one of our favorite guests, Kat Calvin, to chat about the latest national Voter ID proposals being put forward and endorsed by…Democrats? And in an unexpected yet exciting turn of events, this is a very Dennis Kucinich forward podcast. Plus It’s also almost an entire podcast about how Democrats are truly terrible at wielding power. We promise you won’t want to miss this episode!

4/26/21 - Warm Fuzzy Feelings

Derek Chauvin is GUILTY. Now let’s convict the rest of these cops while we continue to blow up the entire system of policing. Plus, we cover A LOT this week…including the US-led climate summit, the Andrew Yang NYC Mayoral candidacy, and we’ll even get into a rare debate about the left’s tactics in congress. Check it out!
