DB Comedy Presents THE ELECTABLES

Some Presidents were born to be Presidents - and SOME Presidents were born to be Ex-Presidents! Were it easier to get to the latter without going through the former - but then, would the late 70s have been so late 70s without having had to go through the Jimmy Carter Presidency? The good news is, you need only listen to this episode to imagine the actual Carter Presidency (and the late 1970s) while reveling in the coolness of post-Prez Jimmy. (And with laughs!) (You're Welcome, America!)

Are you getting used to Presidents genuinely full of contradictions? Because WOW do we have that with Lyndon Johnson - a warmongering civil rights crusader ... a liberal bully ... a crude and ruthless political operator whose heart broke by the time he left the Presidency ... a guy misunderstood when alive being reconsidered with the advantage of time. (But don't worry - it's funny as Hell, too!) LBJ is here for your Electable goodness!

Yep - we're up to the guy everyone you kind of avoid at holiday family meals says was President during THE BEST EVER TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES! It's the War Hero of World War II and That Neato Campaign Slogan You And Me Like - Dwight David Eisenhower! We don't know what the 1950s was like, but we added westerns and street rants and certain famous puppet-like characters to give you something to pass to your Uncle Frank other than that weird green jello mold he always brings because his grandmother made it in 1955 and it was good THEN! Enjoy! (Jello mold optional!)

You know that whole the-1950s-were-kinda-boring thing you may have been taught in school? WELL, we at DB Comedy beg to differ! Our talkback about the Eisenhower administration went in so many different directions, we thought we could give you a few of them in a bonus talkback episode! Join us along with Americanists Dr. Chelsea Denault and James McRae and contemplate how three innovations of the 50s - interstate highways, television, and the counterculture - all undergird ol' Ike's tenure!

World War II is ending, and the American Century is ready to go - but before we do, there's the matter of the last guy who brung us there: the plain-spoken piano player from the Show-Me State who worked up through a political machine and avoided the Klan to drop the bomb(s), pulled off one of the all-time upsets (or was it?!) and put us on the road in Southeast Asia. It's Harry S. Truman! (Now listen or he'll have Margaret sing to you - and do you really want THAT?!)
