Ian Carlos Crawford (@ianxcarlos), the host of the hit podcast Slayerfest 98, joins Zach to break down the explosive allegations that will derail the Elizabeth Warren campaign: she *checks notes* consensually rocked the world of some Chad with her husband's permission.

This obviously didn't actually happen; it was the newest badly orchestrated grift from friend of the pod Jacob Wohl, but despite that, we still support Warren's candidacy even if she hasn't outf*cked a Marine.

Yay! LA Magazine editor-in-chief Daniel Antonio Barron (@YayDanielBarron (https://twitter.com/YayDanielBarron) ) joins us to discuss the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, our big wet boy who got cocky and committed a whole bunch of crimes after we got away with committing a whole bunch of crimes.

Go to http://www.yaylamag.com/ even if you don't live in Los Angeles because it's a pretty awesome source for all things arts and culture. We've been fans since before this podcast was a glimmer in our eyes.

While Grant is in hiding after being snitched on by Tekashi 6ix9ine, wife of the pod Ashlyn Anstee and returning champion J. Patrick Rigney step into the octagon to discuss:

-Milo Yiannopoulos getting wrecked by the Furry community

-The Washington Post's profile on the dogs rescued from Michael Vick's dogfighting ring

-Many more cozy topics that have nothing to do with Donald Trump strongarming the President of Ukraine into launching a phony investigation into the failson of his most formidable political opponent

Rate the podcast 5 stars on Apple Podcasts so we can stop ranting to ourselves and the immediate family members we force to listen to this show.

Comedian Erik Barnes (@ErikWBarnes) joins us to discuss the key takeaways of last week's third Democratic debate and the 18th birthday of 9/11. Cut from this episode is 20 minutes of discussion about The Joker and living in a society.

Zach joins Grant and Ashlyn in their very noisy backyard to have a very low stakes chat about Joe Biden's tendency to sound exactly like Donald Trump, the rise and fall of the Jeremy Renner app, and the key takeaways of this week's CNN climate town halls.

Also, we trapped and released Lime, one of the strays getting up to some funny business on the Pardee property.

Multi-hyphenate actor/musician/artist Lola Blanc (@ohlalola (https://twitter.com/ohlalola) ) joins Zach, Grant and Ashlyn for a raucous ol' time where we dish about The Bachelor, mourn the untimely demise of Kirsten Gillibrand's Presidential campaign, and put ourselves into the pathetic shoes of medical loan shark and Sides God John Delaney.

We mentioned Lola's song "Angry Too" in this episode, and if you haven't heard it/seen the video, it's pretty friggin' incredible. Here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwzHGbFNW1I

Comedian Kelly McInerney (IMDWeed, Doug Loves Movies) joins Zach while Grant and Ashlyn are in Canada to discuss all the things Zach would never be able to get Grant to approve of: lesbian space crimes, Four Loko, Tom Green's "Freddy Got Fingered" ... you know, extremely Zach shit.

This podcast is brought to you by Zach drinking four White Claws before Kelly got there.

You can follow Kelly at @hollyweirdo on Twitter.

Zach forgot to go get Grant's mics and Zoom recorder so this podcast was recorded on a broken Blue Yeti that sounds like garbage.

Professional smart person Peter Miller (Adam Ruins Everything, Lovett or Leave It) joins us this week to pour cold water all over Zach and Grant's wildest fantasies surrounding the recent death of Jeffrey Epstein. Peter maintains that the answers you seek regarding his untimely demise rest in the hard truth about America's prison system, not in vast conspiracies around reptilians harvesting adrenochrome.

We also take a deep dive into Bernie Sanders' recent kerfuffle with the press, the controversy surrounding Barstool Sports, and why it took Zach exactly 109 minutes to travel from his home to Grant's despite it only being 5.6 miles away.

In the six years since we last recorded, 30-50 feral hogs ran into Jeffrey Epstein's jail cell and murdered him while a man in a green shirt laughed.

Also this week, Beto is unchained, Joe Biden can't stop saying sundowning old man stuff, and myriad stories of actions taken by ICE and the Trump administration that are almost unfathomable in their cruelty. Remember when this was a comedy podcast?

Comedian and co-host of Lady to Lady Brandie Posey (@brandazzle) joins the boys to discuss the 249th and 250th mass shootings in the United States in 2019, the newest round of Democratic debates, and what it's like to be one of the hardest working women in show business.
