This is the second episode in our first night back in a month. This time we at least have some set stories to talk about. We go off on a few tangents including changing the pronunciation of words to sound smarter. We begin with Amanda story of a stray dog that showed up on her doorstep. It's a fun one.

We are back after an impromptu month from of recording. This episode is just a mashup of conversation as we try to get back into the groove. The impeachment process is moving forward and we are frankly quite tired of hearing and talking about it. But we are pushing forward.

Chad rages over a video of a bigoted parent at a LGBT inclusiveness event at a school. A high school teacher is in trouble about comments about the Confederate flag. We discuss a story of a person that claims to be a child but may really be an adult and a stepmother in trouble for being accidentally topless in front of her step-children. Amanda also gives us some good and bad new in this weeks Abortion Portion.

This week we dive into everything we have missed over the past couple of weeks involving the impeachment saga and the infamous phone call between Trump and the Ukrainian president. We also try to cast who would play Trump in his biopic.

Chad gives his review of the Imperfectly Human Tour staring Jaclyn Glenn and Future Sunsets. (Spoiler: It was amazing.) Then we deep dive into how corrupt Jerry Falwell, Jr. is and how he is using Liberty University for monetary and political gain. Then we talk a little bit about Brett Kavanaugh being in the news again one year later for the same things.

The podcast has now reached its 200th official episode not counting bonus episodes we have done over the years. Amanda thought this would be a good time to look back at the first episodes we recorded together, but I went further and am doing a history of the show grabbing random silly clips from here and there. I also give a few stats and give a brief history of our friendship as it has grown over the years. Thanks for being a listener.

Someone had the nerve to make a movie about liberal “Elites” hunting down the “Deplorable” Trump supporters because that is the world we live in now. We also run through a wide variety of other stories and start with talking about Chad’s falling Porch. The actual show starts about 5 minutes in if you feel the need to skip that part.
