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 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?

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.

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?) Roosevelt University in Chicago, as we begin our deep and goofy dive into Mr. Nothing-to-Fear!

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.

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. He's a yawn but an important yawn, he's William McKinley, and he's this episode's President!This episode's sketches were Written, Produced, and Performed by:Gina BuccolaSandy BykowskiJoseph FedorkoRamona KyweSylvia MannPaul MoultonPatrick J.

Waitaminute - weren't we here already? Yes, yes we were - and we're back. Because Grover Cleveland is (so far) (gulp?!) our only President who was (re?)elected after losing after winning. And he was probably kinda sorry he did - which we here at DB Comedy will explore as only we can. Come join and 'return' to look at the second Grover Cleveland presidency!This episode's sketches were Written, Produced, and Performed by:Gina BuccolaSandy BykowskiJoseph FedorkoRamona KyweSylvia MannPaul MoultonPatrick J.
