  • Batman must work harder, science is bunk and there is no truth
    In the first episode of the 2nd year of this ship of fools on a cruise through #DumbestTimelineAmerica, Frank & Elie discuss the reality of parades, stumble over how a Trust Barometer is a barometer of trust (or at least one of them does) and that there is no truth anymore. The crew ends off realizing that science is bunk and all scientists must be high.

  • Chapstick, nothingburgers, bad high school papers & Gray Rhinos w/ Michele Wucker
    That the first anniversary of Frank Spring & Elie Jacobs shoving off and taking ship coincides with Groundhog Day makes perfect sense. Dumbest Timeline America is - if nothing else - the same idiocy repeating itself day in and day out. The crew touches on the infamous Nunes memo or how a smart friend referred to it a "failed high school term paper", the State of the Union and Harold Gowdy.
    But far more importantly, to celebrate this august occasion, Michele Wucker, the author of The Gray Rhino, comes aboard the good ship "___'s Revenge" to discuss her work and threatening colorful animals.
    You don't want to miss this one.

The crew also reissues a warning about altcenterism in light of Jeff Flake's floor speech, spends too much time talking about Tom Cotton before heading to Kentucky and then Great Britain. Come for the medicaid, stay for the mountain lion meat.

  • Frank & Elie discuss flyover country, mac n cheese, impeachment boners & Oprah!
    Sailing alone, Frank and Elie do their best to suss out Oprah's intentions. They compare what sh!thole countries their families Took Ship from and then turn to a lengthy - even intelligent - conversation about what Dems need to do in rural America to win again.

About Taking Ship

From the publisher's feed

Taking Ship is a voyage through dumbest timeline America. It's the kind of podcast that believes you can take politics and culture seriously while laughing at both. It's hosted by Elie Jacobs, Maggie Moore and Frank Spring, three political hacks who've run out of f***s to give. Each episode, they'll take a look at the political landscape, condone and condemn those who deserve it and often be joined by a guest who is smarter and cooler than they are.
