  • Good time!

    I met your producer Leigh at a party this summer and I thought he was cool and I liked his hat. I also work in the video/podcasting field so I wanted to check you all out. Good stuff and I’ll keep tuning in. I was sad to see the hat he was wearing is not available on your store so that was a bummer. It was a cool hat.

    Thanks guys and keep it up.

  • Great interview with Jason Miyares!

    Curious who the fellas think would bring an appropriate level of pageantry to a Katie Porter send-up on SNL. My vote would be the late great Chris Farley.

    Awesome perspective from a bunch of guys who aren’t from DC originally but say everything I’m thinking but afraid to say in a public forum. #NoPPSR (No politics, paychecks, sex, or religion)
