This week on a bicoastal BTL, a sinkhole opened up right next to Mar-A-Lago RIGHT BEFORE WE STARTED RECORDING THIS PODCAST. That's real life.
BTL #245 - American Nutjob - 5/24/17
BTL #237 - A World Without Business (Cards) - 3/20/17
This week on BTL, Lila's father joins us for a look under the hood of Trump's new "America First" budget proposal, which seems to put a lot of America-America, most notably the elderly and poor, starkly last. But don't worry, rich people will make out well! And really, who else counts? Then, it was a week notable for it's many diplomacy stumbles but luckily Rex Tillerson doesn't seem that concerned about it. He's sleeping fine! And even Fox News finds that most things, but most notably Bernie Sanders, Planned Parenthood, and Obamacare, are far more popular than the president. It's all that plus some theories on North Korean politics so make sure to tune in!
BTL #234 - WANTED: Missing Senator - 2/27/17
This week on BTL...it's updates from #ResistanceRecess! People got active, got creative, and got angry in all the best possible ways. Plus, the DNC chair race results, why Donald Trump should be careful about pushing the paper of record too far, and updates on all the new and exciting (and terrible) laws and policies that will make life for even legal immigrants a living hell. Come for the terrible news, stay for the many many many creative ways constituents are coming up with to get their reps' attention. Oh, and join us for our own little action as well!
BTL #233 - #ResistanceRecess - 2/21/17
This week on BTL, #ResistanceRecess has begun! Check online for events near you! Plus, this week had all the news and these days that doesn't even feel like a shock. Flynn is out, Puzder is out, an epic Trump Press Conference graced the airwaves, a man literally named McMaster is in, and we celebrated new fake terrorism (#neverremember again and always). Plus, Chris Christie unwittingly provides the perfect metaphor for this whole ride so far. Check it out, rate us on iTunes and Stitcher, and leave a comment!
BTL #231 - #NeverForget to #NeverRemember - 2/7/17
This week on BTL, when will the powers that be agree that America has been through enough?! This week we did it all: re-lived the horrors of election 2016 in football form, re-lived the horrors of Antonin Scalia in Trump-SCOTUS-pick form, celebrated the alt-facts version of Black History Month (thanks white people for creating black history!), commemorated the worst imaginary terrorist attack to ever hit US soil (#NeverRemember), and accidentally thwarted a coup attempt by cleverly allowing a complete idiot to attempt a coup with any professional assistance. Though this week felt like seven months in thought-time, we can confirm that it's only been one week in real time and the fact that we made it through is certainly something to celebrate. Join the fun!
BTL #229 - Pussy Hats and Alternative Facts - 1/24/17
This week on a bicoastal BTL, it's tales of the largest march in US history! We got crowd counts as well as stories of attending on both coasts! (Well done LA! 750,000?!) And guess what wasn't the largest gathering in US history? Duh, the inauguration, despite what Trump and Sean Spicer's "Alternative Facts" may claim. Plus, we've got a rundown of the week's insano cabinet confirmation hearings, the already mounting tragedy that is Trump's first days in office, and, most importantly, the real deal with Sean Spicer's five-year feud with Dippin' Dots.
BTL #228 - Extra Rights - 1/16/17
This week on BLT...will anybody actually be at the inauguration on Friday? So far it looks like it's going to be Hillary Clinton and Code Pink. Plus, Trump will save the ungrateful voters in John Lewis’ totally functioning district whether they want him to or not, and Ben Carson will stop all those pesky gay people from getting their extra rights. What a relief! Meanwhile, Cory Booker shoots himself in the 2020 foot, the GOP signals their plans to take away your healthcare are just as ill conceived as you imagined, and nobody does a press conference like Donald Trump and a stack of blank paper. Bonus: we did it, America! #GoldenShowers has now officially trended on Twitter. Come for the news, stay for the...news!
BTL #223 - A Bad Deal - 12/4/16
This week on BTL, we've got all the latest from the last TWO weeks!! Special attention is paid, of course to the reverse love triangle that is Trump-Romney-Kellyanne Conway, but we've also got lessons in (non)diplomacy from our incoming POTUS, the legacy of the man simply known as Fidel, and the fatal sign that your latest accomplishment was REAL unimpressive: Sarah Palin joining Democrats to condemn it. All that plus our recount-fever update, and the story of the giant, purposeless Holiday Hole.
