The Handy Seen Round the World Sep 20, 2023

Show notes

Rep. Lauren Boebert fooled around and found out, while Sen. John Fetterman's opinion on the Senate dress code riles DC. It's a doozy of an episode with Sarah vs. Tim on proper etiquette in a theater and the Senate.
Plus, Speaker Kevin McCarthy is leading his majority straight for a government shutdown they could very well be blamed for, and Donald Trump casts aside the pro-life movement without consequence.

MAGA: Stranger Than Fiction (with Brad Thor) Sep 17, 2023

Mitt Romney and the Hollow Men (The Secret Podcast PREVIEW) Sep 16, 2023

The Nothing Burger Impeachment Sep 13, 2023

Show notes

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announces the House will start an impeachment inquiry without a vote and without evidence. But his right-wing critics, such as MAGA troll Matt Gaetz, still aren't satisfied.
Plus, the Democratic governor of New Mexico's temporary ban on guns draws bipartisan backlash for being unconstitutional, while some Texas counties are creating legal challenges to people traveling out of state to get an abortion.

Show notes

Andrew Zimmern, former host of Bizarre Foods, joins Tim to discuss how food relates to immigration and climate, his journey to sobriety, growing up with two gay dads, and the future of alternative meat. Not a foodie? Don't worry, we promise there's lots of political analysis to whet your appetite!

Old Man Biden Sep 06, 2023

Show notes

How concerned voters are toward Joe Biden's old age might be the biggest determining factor to whether he beats Donald Trump in 2024; and Tim got into it with FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver over how much the liberal media is covering it.
Plus, the GOP is trying to decide whether to shutdown the government or impeach Biden, and Elon Musk claims the Anti-Defamation League is the reason X/Twitter's profits are so low.

It's All Bad and We're All Doomed Aug 30, 2023
