We actually made it through one of the worst years ever. Meantime, most of you know who Stephanie is because so many of you learned about this show because of her show. But in case you're unfamiliar, Stephanie is the host of the nationally syndicated Stephanie Miller Show. She's hands down the greatest political broadcaster ever and I'm proud to call her a dear friend. Today we talked about how she caused the MAGA entertainment complex to lose its shpadoinkle over a photo of her kissing Jasmine Crockett's feet. We also talked about some behind the scenes radio things. A little bike riding in there, too, including how she rescued me from a ditch after I crashed. And so much more. So stick around for this talk. Meantime, make sure to support this podcast by subscribing at patreon.com/bobcescashow.

Hope you're having a most-excellent holiday season. We'll be back with new episodes starting Tuesday January 6. Meantime, John is one of those guys who's so insightful, empathetic, and endlessly hilarious – I'm so proud to call him a friend. More importantly, John has a new must-own book out called Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds. It's an invaluable resource for anyone who's navigating the social media wars and, in particular, those of us who've become disillusioned with Christianity. John reunites us with the woke teachings of Jesus without all the dogmatic bullshit. Seriously, buy it now. Meantime, make sure to support this podcast by subscribing at patreon.com/bobcescashow.

We'll be back with new episodes starting Tuesday January 6. Meantime, Lorissa is the author of the forthcoming book Winning the Earthquake: How Jeannette Rankin Defied All Odds to Become the First Woman in Congress. This is an extraordinarily important book for myriad reasons, including the fact that you probably never heard of the first woman to be elected to Congress, or that this same woman introduced the bill that would eventually become the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing the right to vote for women. And there's so much more to Jeannette Rankin's story. It officially goes on sale November 4, Election Day. Follow Lorissa on Substack at thefemalebodypolitic.substack.com.
