DB Comedy Presents THE ELECTABLES

Once upon a time in the city of Chicago - around 2006 - a group of politically-nerdy writers and performers came together in a mutual need to stay sane through what we all SWORE would be the WORST Presidency we would EVER live through. How naive we were ... but also, how funny! Because the only way we all got through the George W Bush years was to laugh - and, dare we say, we will get you to laugh too. We are at W, and we invite you to listen for one final time at that time ...This episode's sketches were Written, Produced, and Performed by:Gina BuccolaSandy BykowskiJoseph FedorkoSylvia MannPaul MoultonPatrick J.

Throughout the podcast, we have flirted with and chit-chatted about all kinds of third parties in the United States, and while at first we didn't think it was the case, we realized it actually would have been wrong not to talk about all those extra parties - and explore what it is about our system that keeps them as extras. So HERE WE GO, starting way back with that nasty 1824 election and getting through Masons and Whigs and Free Soilers and Know-Nothings and Populists - OH MY! It's a lot more fun than anyone should have talking about third parties in America would be!

We have reached the end of the American Century - was this a century about nothing? Was the last President of the 20th century a Presidency about nothing? Or was it chock-a-block of a life we left behind (good-bye, VHS!) and into a new way of life (hi, Internet!) and the start of so much of what we live with now?

The Ronald Reagan Presidency. Lots of feels about this one - and so our discussions and sketches have lots of barbs and lots of laughs to cope with the things that were done. Ronnie may not have remembered - but we did and we dish, and you'll be glad we did!

It is said that the influence on the 1980s on subsequent decades - even now - is stronger than any other in cultural history. All we know is, because we're at Ronald Reagan and he was kind of big in the 80s, we talked a LOT about a bunch of those influences - and we thought it was interesting and fun, so we packaged them here in this bonus episode (and even include a bonus sketch at the end going out to our Chicago homies). Grab that Walkman, pull up those leg warmers and order up a Long Island Iced Tea for this one!This BONUS episode was Produced, Written, and Performed by:Gina BuccolaSandy BykowskiJoseph FedorkoSylvia MannPaul MoultonPatrick J.

If Franklin D. Roosevelt was the defining President of the first part of the 20th Century to the burning resentment of one of our two political parties, you KNOW there was an inevitable counter - and we all know that counter is named Ronald Reagan. So away DB Comedy goes, with a review of the pre-Presidential path that includes baseball and acting and naming names and even times when ol' Ronnie remembered stuff - right up to when he becomes President.

Some Presidents were born to be Presidents - and SOME Presidents were born to be Ex-Presidents! Were it easier to get to the latter without going through the former - but then, would the late 70s have been so late 70s without having had to go through the Jimmy Carter Presidency? The good news is, you need only listen to this episode to imagine the actual Carter Presidency (and the late 1970s) while reveling in the coolness of post-Prez Jimmy. (And with laughs!)

Are you getting used to Presidents genuinely full of contradictions? Because WOW do we have that with Lyndon Johnson - a warmongering civil rights crusader ... a liberal bully ... a crude and ruthless political operator whose heart broke by the time he left the Presidency ... a guy misunderstood when alive being reconsidered with the advantage of time. (But don't worry - it's funny as Hell, too!)

World War II is ending, and the American Century is ready to go - but before we do, there's the matter of the last guy who brung us there: the plain-spoken piano player from the Show-Me State who worked up through a political machine and avoided the Klan to drop the bomb(s), pulled off one of the all-time upsets (or was it?!) and put us on the road in Southeast Asia.

We settle into the Presidency of Franklin Roosevelt by exploring and having fun with those oh-so-delightful Great Depression years, where he pulled the country through most of the worst years of the Republic - even if you have great-grandparents who think it was some of our best years.

We come to a true epic of American Presidential history: Franklin Roosevelt. His Presidency is the one everyone looked up to - at least until Reagan came around. But what were some of the highlights of FDR's life before he hit the White House? Join us with Special Guest Historian Dr. Margaret Rung of (where else?)

If you are of a certain age and you had close relatives that lived through the Depression, chances are there was one President whose name would make them spit and curse - and we're here to see whether all that stuff Grandma and Grandpa said about Mr. Caused-the-Depression himself, Herbert Hoover, still holds up after all these years. Think of this as a Thanksgiving dinner without the sad stories and with a lot more jokes. As much as you can when discussing the personification of an economic cataclysm, enjoy!This episode's sketches were Written, Produced, and Performed by:Gina BuccolaSandy BykowskiJoseph FedorkoSylvia MannPaul MoultonPatrick J.

He was curt. He was dry. He was oddly funny. His nickname was "Silent." And he was the President through most of the Roaring 20s who may have escaped a fate the next guy didn't. He was Calvin Coolidge, and he is our next President here on THE ELECTABLES.

The Roaring 20s get ready to roar, with a President whose "Return to Normalcy" may have been a lot truer that even he realized. Presenting a man short on service in the office, but long on the kind of controversy and scandal that might make Kennedy AND Nixon go "Really, Man?!"

We knew Woodrow Wilson presided over World War I and tried and failed nobly to unite the world ... OR DID HE?!?! There's a lot we now know (kinda racist-y), a lot we forgot (Spanish Flu, anyone?), and a lot we didn't know (was he really President at the end of his term?), and it makes for one of those Presidents worth re-evaluating with some snark.

A big episode? No, just a big President. And not "big President" as in "big important President," "big President" as in "physically big President."

The DB Comedy Writers of Wrongs discovered we had so much background on Mr. Rough Rider, Teddy Roosevelt, that the talkback went long. And it went so long, we decided it was worth sharing a few of those segments in this Bonus Episode of DB COMEDY PRESENTS THE ELECTABLES. We are joined, as we often are, by our Americanists Historians, Dr. Chelsea Denault (not that kind of doctor) and James McRae. Enjoy - and if you are so inclined, please leave a tip!

We wrap up the 19th Century on DB COMEDY PRESENTS THE ELECTABLES with a Ohioan (another one? ANOTHER one?!?) who parlayed his boring exterior and wealthy pals to begin The American Century of economic and industrial and imperial power (oops - said the quiet part out loud!) with that red, white, and blue cloak we've all come to know and love.

Yes, we had a President who had three names like a criminal - and even though Chester Alan Arthur came from the corrupt New York City political machine of the late 19th century and loved fancy clothes and food, "criminal" may be a little over the edge (especially since he only became President after an actual criminal assassinated James Garfield). One of the truly lesser-known of our stable of national leaders, which as you know makes for fun listening here on DB COMEDY PRESENTS THE ELECTABLES!

Sometimes, life - and history - sucks. When your Presidency is the second-shortest because your death by assassination was the longest, well, that's history for ya! At least such anomalies make for great possibilities in comedy and podcasting, so DB Comedy makes do with James A. Garfield - who at least also is the only President written about by Johnny Cash and Stephen Sondheim, if you count Sondheim's song about Charles Guiteau (see what I mean about history?).

DB Comedy is back for the summer! In this episode, we present the Presidency of a lesser-known man who got the job under suspicious circumstances yet still made policies that would take a century to reverse - thus becoming a prime candidate for historical re-exposure and satire.

We Americans love our men in uniforms - so much so we have made a few of them President. Yet we often remember them more for the uniform than as President. Take, for instance, Mr. Won-The-Civil-War (and was President, we think), Ulysses S. Grant. But is that a fair assessment? Let DB Comedy, with the help of Prof. Matthew Norman and James McRae, take you though our two-term President and Civil War hero - yeah, he won two terms, look it up! - U.S. Grant!This episode's sketches were Written and Produced by:Gina BuccolaSandy BykowskiJoseph FedorkoRamona KyweSylvia MannPaul MoultonPatrick J.

Funny story - this is NOT the first time in American history a historically important and quotable and generally loved President was followed by a historically terrible and inarticulate and generally loathed President.
