Hello Lord Uncle Heaton here coming with a warning about the audio content that you're about to ingest.

If you're a regular listener of the political orphanage, I hope and trust that you've come to rely on my program as a means by which to better understand the world and in fact

make the world a little smarter and a little kinder.

If the political orphanage is a

well-balanced high-fiber diet, the crossover episode that you're about to hear with

losers, pretenders, and scoundrels is audio fentanyl.

I make no claims that you will learn anything from today's program other than biographical

information about America's most colorful quack, a fellow named John Romulus Brinkley.

John Romulus Brinkley became rich and famous by claiming to cure impotency by sewing goat testicles into men.

Now, if that makes you squeamish, there's a lot more of that on today's program.

So if it would bother you, if there was a little bit of choice language and some body

commentary about some bodily surgery, skip over it.

You won't hurt my feelings.

We've got a really good program lined up on the political war finish next week.

But if you're on the mood for some mirthful historical tirades about a very colorful character who

among other things became an admiral in the Kansas Navy and built the most powerful radio transmitter in the world in order to rant about the American Medical Association.

That man is John Romulus Brinkley,

and I think you will enjoy learning about him.

On this, losers, pretenders, and scoundrels

kick off for season two.

If at the end of today's program you laughed you enjoyed it
