You didn't think we'd let this Speaker drama pass without a trip down ridiculous American history lane? Aaron pokes his head up from the break to talk about a definite villain, possible hero of the 1800's, Benjamin Butler.

Tragically Aaron-less once more, Dennis welcomes barbecue savant and environmental engineer Cameron McKay to discuss the merits of Texas brisket and its lesser BBQ brethren. Unemployment insurance changemaker Jake Coxey Sr. does his best to weather the undeniably apropos return of Ross Perot for the battle of the best pitmaster. Smokin'!!

Sometimes these are the last words we ever care about out of a candidates mouths. We're talking the contrite, the fiery, and the goofy of concession speeches in this week's Presidential Death Match! 

Will consumer protection advocate Ralph Nader top long time senator John McCain in a battle for the best second-place words?

Presidential Death Match finally covers the dryest candidates of them all: Dole vs. teetotaler independant Pa Ferguson! In a topic we're suprised we haven't covered we decide which of them would be the best improviser, bringing our many, many, many poorly spent hours doing that art form to the table.

After a thrilling game of ranking states by electoral votes we return to the final few candidates of 1976 and the silliness therein.

Sometimes in electoral politics what dominates a campaign is not a candidate or a set of issues, but the infrastructure of our government itself. We take a look at two high-watermark elections for third-party candidates, 1976 and 2004, why they were so contentious, why despite attracting many candidates that didn't translate into votes, and who legitimacy favors.

The hundredth episode so grand it could only fit into 101 episodes! We're celebrating our centenary by mulling over unforeseen consequences as we puzzle the terrible ramifications of making someone president against the universe's will.

Our constant friends Riley Smith and Jacob Godbey join us in this tomfoolery. Join us next week for part 2!
