Episode 250: “No Money Man Can Win My Love”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe could really use that $150 Mike is offering influencers to help him out with a couple of bar tab related jams. (No funds were forthcoming) On the show this week, we thought we were doing a hit job on Mike Bloomberg until we saw Liz Warren curb stomp him in the debate. (We haven’t seen someone get murdered like that in Vegas since Tupac).

Along the way, we learn all about Mike and what we learn, we don’t like. (Surprise?) We read from the Wit and Wisdom of Bloomberg only to immediately get slapped with a dozen or so HR complaints. (Thank god for all those NDA’s, right Mike?) We examine Bloomberg’s legacy in New York City, only to find that place where legacy was kept has gone out of business and will soon just be a building with a Chase ATM inside. (In New York City that is called a “Bloombank”!) Finally, we talk about Mike’s debut on the debate stage and wonder if anyone has managed to remove Warren’s foot from his ass. (That HAD to hurt!)

Our Sponsor this week is Big Brass Balls, when you want something you don’t deserve, try Big Brass Balls. We open the show with words from Mike and close with Michael Hedges helping us with our stance.
