Mike O'Rourke and Ken Campbell
Ken and Mike return with a spirited back-and-forth about North Carolina’s bathroom bill, a bit about Bernie, and a diatribe about Trump and the justice system. You know, the usual. Ken refers to the excellent Dana Gould Hour podcast episode Left & Right, and this piece by Anna Garvey defining the Oregon Trail Generation. And […]
Ryan meets with Trump! Bernie’s still out there! Other things with exclamation points! Plus, Facebook Trending Topics.
Seriously. He hates Ted Cruz and unleashes lots of vitriol and cursing (oh, the cursing) at the senator. The guys also talked about Bernie, women’s cards, and the Nerd Prom. Here’s the link to Ted’s Indiana speech and the Carly announcement. Check out Alexandra Petri’s excellent column here. And finally, watch the White House Correspondents’ […]
Well, despite some technical difficulties (who knew you could fill up a MacBook Air so quick?) here’s episode 10! Our heroes talk about the Acela Primary (and correctly predicted a Trump sweep) and the veep stakes. Here’s the clip of Trump “acting” presidential that we referenced. Like the show? Hate the show? Let us know! […]
We’re back! Ken and Mike discuss the state of the race, make several archaic references to songs from their youth, and make broad sweeping generalizations about “these kids today”. The essay Ken referred to in today’s episode was originally published in Harper’s, and is called “On The Uses Of A Liberal Education” by Mark Edmundson. […]
Donald Trump had the worst week in politics, with one gaffe after another. Cruz brought up a old politico term, and Bernie just won’t go away – and neither will Clinton’s email story. Plus we talk about Andrew Jackson’s hair.
A bit late, but here we go – episode 7! Mike had dinner with Donald Trump (kinda). We also talked about how John Kasich is still losing to Marco Rubio, violence on the campaign trail and how the Supreme Court is now a political football. Plus, Mike threatens Ken! The New York Times Delegate Simulator […]
Just a real quick mini-sode to put something on the record – a crazy idea that I had early last week and I forgot to bring it up on Sunday, but as that episode was long anyway, I figured let’s just put it out here – If (when) Trump basically locks up the nomination this […]
