If there’s one thing we love on this podcast, it’s JUICY SCANDALS. And boy oh boy, these last few weeks have been full of ‘em! We’ve got the Trump call log gap! The wife of Clarence Thomas attempting to overturn an election! Madison Cawthorn’s cocaine-fueled GOP orgies! Trump supposedly making a hole in one! The New Democrat Coalition claiming they’re capable of passing bills! It’s more scandal than you can handle!
3/14/22 - ”Yes We Can!”…Still Get COVID [w/ Kristin Urquiza of Marked By COVID]
Kristin Urquiza from Marked By Covid joins us to talk about advocacy, public health policy, and the pandemic (surprise! It’s not over!) And, even by Florida’s own insane metrics, the FL legislature was up to some pretty horrible antics this week. Plus, is it the end of the Iowa Caucus? Is Brent still mad at Joe Bident about going back to the office? Is Donald Trump spinning all the gay anthems at Mar-a-Lago? Listen to find out!
3/7/22 - Don't Say BBB (w/Dakota Hall from Alliance For Youth Action)
Dakota Hall, Executive Director of Alliance for Youth Action, joins us to talk about the youth vote, the State of the Union address, and to inform us (much to our horror) that children born in the year of our lord 2010 are almost teenagers. So…that’s a lot to think about, friends. A LOT TO THINK ABOUT. It’s a great episode and we think you’re really going to love it!
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!
1/19/22 - Veep Is Supposed To Be A Parody
We’re back for a mid-week podcast because we couldn’t record over the long weekend but WE HAVE THINGS TO SAY. And those things are: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are failures, and Hillary Clinton ‘24 isn’t the solution. So if you’re down for 40 minutes of that (and who isn’t, really?) then this episode is a real banger.
11/22/21 - You Should Run For Office [w/ guest Amanda Litman]
Amanda Litman (@amandalitman) from Run For Something joins us to talk about elections, and how YOU can become a candidate. Plus, we’ll dig back into inflation and tell you specifically why Joe Manchin needs to get a freaking grip. We’ve got all that, plus an in-depth look at how Jimmy Carter’s sweaters caused Kevin McCarthy to be an asshole. Don’t miss it!
11/15/21 - Mayo Pete
Due to some post-Lila birthday party fatigue, we’ve got a totally different podcast for you this week! As promised on twitter, we deliver a lengthy review of Mayor Pete (a review of both the film, and the human). Lila digs into why he’s not such a wildly “different” candidate after all, and Brent plays armchair psychiatrist to explain his lack of human emotion. Check it out!
11/8/21 - The Congressional MLM Caucus (w/guest Laura Packard)
What a blast we had chatting with healthcare activist and Executive Director of Health Care Voter, Laura Packard! We discuss what’s left in the Build Back Better bill, and what Democrats can do to move the ball forward on healthcare in the wake of this week’s election results in Virginia, and leading into next year’s midterms. It’s a fun and substantive conversation, so don’t miss it!
