Ryan meets with Trump! Bernie’s still out there! Other things with exclamation points! Plus, Facebook Trending Topics.

Episode 13: Lucky

An odd obituary for the Republican party.

Episode 12: RIP GOP

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’ […]

Episode 11: Ken Hates Ted Cruz

Well, despite some technical difficulties (who knew you could fill up a MacBook Air so quick?) here’s episode 10!

The New York Times Delegate Simulator […]

Episode 7: Mike’s Dinner With The Donald

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 […]
