Hello and welcome to the political orphanage, a big friendly ideological ball pit you can play in instead of the rest of the internet

which is just a knife fight with puns. I'm your host Andrew Heaton and today we are going to discuss the Electoral College, the pros, the cons,

and the alternatives with none other than Brian Brushwood and Justin Robert Young.

The program you're listening to, this very program,

is sponsored by Gillians Rooster removal, the quickest cost-effective way to remove rooster

infestations from your home car or garden. More from that sponsor after the

interview. All of which is underwritten by the good people who fund this whole endeavor via Patreon, which you can do by going to Patreon.com slash Andrew Heaton.

All right look gang.

I would love to fund this whole operation by selling erectile dysfunction medication.

That remains the entire point of the program. Get a big enough audience that I can

cash out selling erectile dysfunction medication to the masses. There's just one problem. You guys and gals are alternately too zero and or attractive to have

any use for the stuff and the advertisers know it. I've sat down. I've sat down with these slick Madison

Avenue boner pill executives and told them I'd hawk their snake oil

tablets for money. They looked at the demographic info for people who listen to this program

and they got so mad they tossed me out a fire escape,

hat and everything.

So that means I guess we got to fund it through Patreon

friends and neighbors. Think of it like you're buying me a beer or a cup of

coffee for my troubles.

Last week some of you got confused and tried to mail me an actual cup of coffee,

but it sloshed everywhere and when I opened up the package there was just some brown sludge

and a lot of broken ceramics please don't do that
