Scotch with Brett Erlich

It's the "OMG he's not in Power" Hour! Brett and Brooke struggle to open corkless champagne bottles, listen to Macklemore's non-freestyle "Trump's Gone" freestyle, complete Brett and Brooke’s homemade power hour playlist, read some news, and so much more! Seriously, it is a crazy power hour, it has been a crazy four years - just drink up and have some fun! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Champagne and Beer with Brooke Marks

Rum Day with Brett Erlich

In news of the weird, Sultry Werner Herzog robs a sandcastle bank, the CIA takes on a new minimalist techno rebrand, and a behind the scenes look at how the producers of Borat Subsequent Movie Film pulled off their scene with Rudy Giuliani.

TYT's Head of Programming, Judith Benezra joins Brett Erlich on Happy Half Hour! Listen to Judith's glamorous Hollywood stories: Captain Kirk, Razzies, Carmen Electra, oh my! Also, listen to Tom Cruise chew out his crew for not wearing masks. Smokey Robinson's mispronunciation of Chanukah has gone viral. Dan Crenshaw's makes an utterly embarrassing 'Georgia Reloaded' video. And is this Burberry boob shirt that costs $300 hot or not?
