I am loading this file to listen to while walking. I am willing to bet, sound unheard, that since Zack thinks FDR baaad and Bert Hoover goood, he is not invited for thinking top-ranked Harry Truman baaad and Agnew goooder than that CURRENT uppity female who does not kowtow to Long Dong and Palito. Someone take the bet and prove me wrong!

Who are the editors' favorite vice presidents of all time?
I'm going with Joe Biden here. I mean they all campaigned for him in 2020.

I didn’t watch. Did Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch play their respective parts of Hooper-X and Banky Edwards around the Weekly Listener Question of “By modern, libertarian social and cultural standards, what is a Nubian?”

OK, I cannot deal with the fringe.... It took me a while to get use to taking someone serious who uses the term "Mixologist" in conversation but the fringe? No. Are we going for Hopper's "Billy" or DiCaprio's "DeCoteau" from "Once Upon a Time..."? Either way between this and the mystical mushrooms / deserts jam fest's obsession's all I find myself doing is pulling a Tarantino and saying "Fucking Hippie's" every time I see it. You're 60, stop it. The cornball dad jokes are fine, just keep with that. You talk and talk but I can no longer take you seriously. All I got now is Matt and Katherine.

Favorite vice president? Well there’s two schools of thought: Nixon. He took an active role in Eisenhower’s administration which had not been done much before.
The other is Al Gore. He invented the internet for crying out loud.
