Sinopsis

When you went looking for a podcast and started listening to this one: What the HELL Were You Thinking?Host Dave Bledsoe takes a weekly look at politics, pop culture, the media, the contents of his friends liquor cabinets, or anything that manages to pique his interests. Dave blends his distinctly left of center political world view with profound nostalgia for a lost childhood, disgust with hypocrisy and abiding love of Irish Whiskey (Jameson, we dont do Protestant whiskey on this podcast) into a show which should appeal to the distinct palette of angry liberals, cynical Gen Xers and Millennials bent on ironically mingling 80s music and modern politics. (SeeI told you we have generational appeal!) The What the HELL Were You Thinking Podcast will have you asking the tough questions, or least what Daves deal with old televisions shows is all about. Honestly, hes probably on the spectrum with this kind of behavior.Find the show in iTunes and Stitcher, Google Play Music or where ever fine podcasts are sold.

(Picking up that imaginary phone kills us EVERY TIME!) On a more serious note, we observe that even if you are a fundamentally broken and depressed person, you really do NOT need to sexually harass people.

Then delve the possible motives of the shooter only to arrive at the same conclusion we always do.

In our Wayback this week, we look at a movement that ACTUALLY got shit done in America, even when America did not want shit to be done.

We once for all do away with the notion that Don Jr is the Fredo of the Trump Family. (We know it was you Tiffany, you broke our hearts!)
