This week on a special bi-coastal BTL, all hell breaks loose in the GOP primary in an ever-mounting flurry of desperate party maneuvers and bizarre Donald Trump quotes. Christ Christie has been kidnapped and cannot be saved so let's not worry about him anymore, but is anybody going to tell Rubio that his time might be up? Also, a rowdy Democratic Debate in Flint, MI, election results from all the "super" election days a person could ask for, CPAC, Ted Cruz's booger-eating, and so much more! How is it possible that every week tops the last? We're exhausted, you guys, but we do it all for you!
BTL #183 - Guns Per Tear Shed - 1/11/16
This week on BTL...it's a polling bonanza! The first polls major numbers 2016 are filled with exciting plot twists! With Iowa and New Hampshire are mere weeks away, the pressure is mounting on establishment campaigns on both sides of the aisle and we can't help but love the fallout! Plus, Donald Trump releases his first video ad; maybe in the course of “figuring out what going on” he can learn to write better copy. And Ted Cruz birtherism is finally taking center stage in a fascinating GOP battle royale that promises to get better (read: more exciting) before it gets worse (read: solved). Also, Obama makes common sense gun control reforms that are now more necessary than ever since Americans basically purchased out all the guns that are currently for sale last month in an effort to stop shootings (what?). And guys, Dr. Zizmor retired so childhood is basically over and we've gotta start figuring our shit out. Blargh. Check us out right here or on iTunes/Stitcher!
BTL # 178 - One Exorcism Is A-Okay - 11/23/15
This week on BTL, Louisiana voters finally draw a firm line at...TWO prostitution scandals. Still okay: 1 prostitution scandal, 1 exorcism, association with the KKK. Plus, the GOP primary is heating up with the entrance of an exciting new candidate that's already nabbed a spot in the top 5. Welcome "Wouldn't Vote" to the presidential race! Excited to hear you at the next debate. Plus, Julia Brownley, world’s most desperate/worst Democrat, won’t help world’s most desperate refugees because SHE'S AWFUL. And everybody said the absolute wrong thing about refugees this week so it should come as no surprise that RICK ROLLING IS BACK. Shit's just heading in that direction. This time, however, Astley is "never gonna give up" on fighting terrorism. All this and TONS more because, guys, it was that kind of week.
BTL #174 - Politically Suicidal - 10/26/15
This week on the podcast, after 11 hours of Benghazi questioning, Hillary Clinton proves she has the stamina of a champion filibusterer. Too bad we didn't know this while she was in the Senate! And if this week wasn't already good enough week for her campaign, two Democratic contestants and one would-be contestant dropped out! Bye Linc! Plus, sorry Jeb!, it turns out that all the money in the world can’t buy you...money for your campaign. All this plus Ben Carson and the confusing logic of the Iowa electorate, Paul Ryan's forthcoming political suicide, and a walk down memory lane with family values and prostitute lover David Vitter!
