The campaign is a violent joke, and we couldn't stop laughing at the worst 1-minute infomercials ever. Trust us though, there is a serious conversation in this episode. #myEdward
Kevin is out today, so Michael Wimbush took the reigns as my co-host. we talked American History and Race Relations going back before even the Revolutionary War. Which lead to one of the most calm and educating conversations on this show that we've had in years. We also got to explain from the beginning the inside joke behind the new hashtag #myEdward. Which with whole-heartedly encourage everyone to use in their everyday conversations.
George Zimmerman sold the gun used to murder an unarmed child for $140,000. Why? Because he cited it as a genuine piece of American History. Between that and Trump, Loren's brain is ready to explode. And there are no words we can use to describe this episode that won't get us booted off iTunes. Enjoy.
We need you to listen to this whole episode. It's important. It's a podcast, take your time. But we spent months waiting for the right time to finally do this show. We needed it to hit critical mass. The entire planet is watching this. At this point, it's sickening. Trump was a joke, and now the joke went WAY too far. One terrorist attack and Trump is president. You think about that. Maul it over. If you support Trump, let me tell you, it says more about you than it does of him.
This is one of those episodes where our 28 loyal listeners will find it hilarious... While the other couple hundred that tune in to every show might find it as baffling as Andy Kaufman reading Of Mice and Men for 90min. To anybody who just discovered this show and has NEVER listened to it before, we might actually recommend possibly skipping it and checking out another episode first. Come back later and you'll understand why its only really funny if you've been around for quite a while. Sometimes you just have to blow off some steam.
Carnival Barkers and freak shows. Iowa and New Hampshire. You know what that means... Time to start placing bets like a true degenerate. Iowa is the first inning, and you know the difference between a Caucus and a Cactus?? At least with a Cactus you know the pricks are on the outside.
Recorded 10-25-15, this episode was supposed to be released months ago. Originally titled #20lbsOfGlitter - We urge you to get that trending on twitter as we come up with the absolutely worst ways to so delightfully make use of a bathtub full of glitter in the most malevolent ways possible.
Special Guest host Jennifer Briney of Congressional Dish. We are live in an undisclosed location deep within Chicago's Miracle Mile. Got an idea, lets pick each other's brains for an hour and see who walks away with the most dignity. Amazing already.
Next week we are recording a live show with Jennifer Briney of Congressional Dish. And trust me, it's going to be a scene. Until then, we racked up the points on the week that was. And there's loaded question!!!

We always expected the 2016 GOP race to be a circus. We just never expected it to be a zoo. This amount of unruly sh!t is enough to make you gag. So we spent an hour distinguishing the batsh!t from the horse sh!t. All that remained is elephant dung. Go figure.
We have a laundry list of loaded questions provided by our loyal listeners. First, there is no question we arent willing to answer. And chances are, there are no depths to Loren's depravity.
A months worth of work in just over an hour. Trust Me. We hit all bases. If George Zimmerman gets shot in the face, and nobody is around who cares... Is it a crime? See. I told you. Flawless logic. America. My favorite 3rd world nation.
Fun times this week. We have foreign policy. We have domestic policy. And to top it all of, we get to play the Larry King Game. Kevin Pollak would be proud.
Sen. Tom Cotton wrote a letter to Iran. Thats not a punchline. With a name like cotton, you know his grandpappy owned someone elses grandpappy. Aaron Shock from Illinois tried getting a little ambitious, one more charge and he can be governor.

Those amateurs on the right finally thought that got something on Hillary, harpooning her 2016 run. A birdy told them that she ONLY used her personal email account during the entirety of her post as Secretary of State. Gmail anyone. Do I hear a hotmail. Turns out that it is strictly on a need to care basis. That and it is probably the most secure server on the entire planet. Commissioned by Leon Panetta and created specifically by Langley. Good work you dolts.
Brian Williams is off the air for at least 6 months. Jon Stewart is leaving The Daily Show in around 6 months. And Kevin is seriously depressed. What, Rachel Maddow isn't good enough? When she puts on her glasses, she becomes Chris Hayes.
We have the FCC attempting to make Net Neutrality the law of the land, despite the fact that they don't actually write any laws. ISIS killed a Jordanian pilot alive, so guess what happens next. If you said they all sit down and talk it out... Guess again. And finally, Loren explains why low gas prices might actually do more harm than good in the long run.
They say that comedy is merely tragedy plus time. If thats the case, I'd still prefer a little less tragedy. The brazen attack on cartoonists, not even journalists... Cartoonists, at Charlie Hebdo rocked the boat and shook our nerve. Lets discuss.
When pointing out someones complete lack of comprehension for reality, for some reason we feel it is more polite to say that they are merely challenged. Its what happens when the words we really want to use, gets us tossed off itunes for being... inappropriate. Oh, what charming euphemisms we use to dodge the painful truth. Lets just say they're challenged.
It was two nights before Christmas and all though the house, not a creature as stirring... Except - Cuba, North Korea, Sony, and a couple of police shootings. Ok, something was stirring. But it wasn't that alcoholic Santa at the mall smelling of poverty and whiskey. This is the week that was on Political Discontent Radio.
