In this episode Jennifer gives her impression of trump voters; Robert compares her to AOC and Brad asks “how can you still belong to the GOP?”

The No Puppet guys were honoured to host their second Lincoln Project member on their show.  Today’s episode is one of a three-part series with Jennifer Horn…one of the founders of the group that, very likely, saved our country from the point of no return.

This episode explores the origins of the Lincoln Project, how Jennifer became involved and ends with the perfect description of the current occupant of the White House.

The guys were still coming down off of the high of interviewing Lincoln Project’s Stuart Stevens and spent the first 10 minutes reliving that event.  Much of the rest of the podcast covered the upcoming vaccines and the difference between the sane Canadian approach and trump’s.  

For you new listeners who came by way of the Stevens interview this is how it works here…Highballs, Heroes and Headlines.  We hope you liked it.

Not to be lost, you’ll notice throughout this episode, there are hints of another big interview coming within the next week or two.  Stay tuned over on the No Puppet Facebook Page for details.

What No Puppet discovered is, if you speak to a political consultant for over two hours, you’re going to hear some good stories.

Here are those good stories.

Look, this is new territory for everyone.  We know the main nightmare has ended but what comes next?  

Stuart Stevens, from the Lincoln Project, has been involved in politics for 40 years and has some ideas on what we might expect.  He sat down with No Puppet  and shares them here.

When No Puppet originally approached Stuart it was with an offer to market and sell his new book “It Was All a Lie”.  It was all a lie and who better to explain it then someone involved.  

 If you still wonder “how we got here” this is very good read.  Stuart is a writer in addition to a political consultant and this book is written well.  It’s a good read whether or not you’re a No Puppet level political junkie.

This is the longest episode because, along the way, we learn a lot about Stuart.  We share that insight here.  

Buy the book!!

Wow…it’s still hard to believe, but the No Puppet Partners spent two and a half hours interviewing Stuart Stevens the other night.  Stewart, of course, is a member of the Lincoln Project group and, in No Puppet’s opinion, quite possibly saved the country through their work defeating the Orange Menace.

With that much content, the crew created 4 individual podcasts.  This one weighs in on a long-lasting argument between Robert and Brad.  Remember, Brad was a lifelong Republican and has always defended W.  Robert…not so much.  

Stuart knows former President Bush very well.  He has a strong opinion.  You can hear it here.

Episode #32 : There’s Never Been a Lamer Duck

Robert and Brad recorded this the day after American Thanksgiving and the mood was light.  As Robert put it…we’re past the Era of Outrage.  No one’s used to a happy optimistic Robert but Brad seemed to adjust throughout the recording and by the end they were really just comparing beards.

Phrases to look for: 

·      He has competing psychoses

·      He’s just another old guy in Florida

·      I can’t wait until I don’t know any of these people

·      You’re kind of a downer

·      I’m happy to not live in the outrage machine

·      I’m not used to cheery Robert

·      The need to drink has dropped

·      We lived in an insane world

·      He’s going to be doing Viagra ads on OAN

·      I was thinking of building a hotel in Ramaala

·      I’ve got some grooves worn into my brain

·      Nobody taught this moron how to sit in a chair

The boys sat in Robert’s backyard…in November…in the rain…and recorded their first episode since the election.  Needless to say the mood was light.  It was noon so the highballs were replaced with coffee but the conversation was good. 

The election is over but there seems to be plenty to discuss.  Highlight quotes  include;

·      Biggest loser of all time

·      The appropriate answer is prison

·      Tom Osborn school of politics

·      You’re wrong twice today

·      If my Aunt had balls she’d be my Uncle

·      Why don’t we spend a few more minutes congratulating ourselves

·      She needs to harness her passion

·      How much doesn’t he know?

·      Waves of crimes

·      You’re giving him way too much credit 

·      He’s not even pretending

OK…it seemed like Robert had just finished his 3rd Espresso late on a Monday night and Brad just wanted to have a quick podcast to mark the occasion..the night before a very very important election.

Robert came with sheets and sheets of notes, county by county predictions and a level of detail not often heard on No Puppet.  Brad came really only wanting to know if he was going to be fed on election night.

Both No Puppet Partners predict a Joe Biden win and were confident enough to commit those predictions to this recording.
