Hello and welcome to the political orphanage. It's not a battlefield. It's not a screaming match. It's a ball pit to have fun and make friends in. I like the ball pit at Chuck E. Cheeses, which I'm not allowed to enter again

unless I come with a kit.

Also it has to be my kit, which the management was very firm on.

Anyway, it's fun like that, the political orphanage.

What does a congressional campaign look like

when the underdog is a comedian and a real campaign not a joke one.

Today Mike Larson veteran comedy writer from the Drew Carey show and real-time with Bill Maher

is going to join me to talk about his campaign against Congressman Jim Jordan.

Normally, I would say the selection is a slam dunk for the incumbent, but there's a wild card factor

that Mike's going to bring up that I think could make things very interesting.

We're going to talk about gerrymandering.

We're going to talk about how actual puppets can be useful in politics and about the future of

American campaigns. Plus if Mike wins we can all totally go hang out in his office at the Capitol and play darts whenever we're in Washington.

But first, the political orphanage is brought to you by the Jet Ski Londmower.

You work hard and you play hard.

Shouldn't your lawnmower be the same way?

The Jet Ski Londmore by Uberdonger

is the only riding lawnmoor which you can also

whiz around on a lake with. If you're like me, you've probably crashed 10, maybe 20 riding lawnmowers

into a lake. There's something relaxing, perhaps meditative, about mowing

a lawn and it's just so easy to zone out and plow into a lake. It's why all the guys over

at Home Depot call me Chappiquitic. We have fun. That's why nowadays I mow my lawn
