As many of you know by now, Steven’s brother (and friend of the show), John, passed away on Monday, May 24. Just two days before his birthday. In his honor, the guys have re-released an episode he contributed on “The Lazy Geeks: 2011 Comic-Con Special, Part 1”. He was a close friend to Adam, aside from Steven’s big brother.

If you would like to donate to his funeral and medical expenses, please click on the link for his GoFundMe page. If you don’t like GoFundMe, please donate through our PayPal account. Any help would be appreciated.

RIP John

After the failed attempt to remove President Clinton from power, the Republicans are in disarray. But, so are the democrats. The 2000 election was so close. It should never have been. This week, we get into why it was so close and that it was a template for what happened in 2016. Lack of drive, bad impressions, and independent voters.

After years of setting up their new ideology, they have a candidate to use it against. A popular democrat that has some skeletons in his closet. History will show that it does and doesn’t work. But, it sets up the path for the future.

In chapter three, we find that the Reagan revolution didn’t just bring in the era of conservatism, but an untenured professor that managed to be elected into the House of Representatives. On his third try. He turned the Republican Party into the obstructionist mess that it is today. This is the rise of Newt Gingrich.

In the second episode, we focus on how the abolishment of “The Fairness Doctrine” lead to the rise of conservative radio and the elevation of its golden boy, Rush Limbaugh. 1987 was a pivotal moment in this nation’s political discourse that would impact the country in years to come.
