Well, for 364 days out of the year, the following journalists wreak havoc on our country, but today is the day that we hold

them all accountable. Welcome to the Ruthless Variety Program and the fifth annual,

comfortably smug, liberal hack tournament. Fellas, very excited to be with you today.

Half a decade of holding these journals accountable.

We've had multiple years with over a million votes cast because it's you the people who decide who's the biggest

liberal hack in the country and I gotta tell you every year the competition gets

more stiff. I know that the selection committee spent an inordinate amount of time

pouring over all the various

submissions this year the greatest listeners in the business the minions here

on the ruthless variety program provided some thoughts where do you think this all

shakes out

before we get into the brackets, fellas?

I think it's gonna be the most competitive tournament

thus far.

There's been a lot of shake-ups in media

here over the last few years,

and so I think what we're gonna see

is some breakout performances by some of these

hacks.

So I'm really looking forward to that.

I think for our new listeners though, who maybe aren't familiar with this as part of the yearly

tradition of the variety program.
