S2E11 - Blowback - An Interview with Whistleblower Miles Taylor
It all started with an anonymous piece in the NY Times in 2018 from a high source inside the Trump administration who revealed publicly what Trump's cabinet members were saying privately - that the President was unstable and unfit for office. While serving in top roles in the Department of Homeland security, Taylor had witnessed shocking acts of corruption that led him, with the support of other high ranking Republicans within the administration, to write the essay and, later, a book about his observations. Now, Miles, under his own name, has published a second book which appeared on the NY Times Bestseller List. We had the opportunity to speak with this conservative patriot and ask about some of the things he saw and why he's so concerned about Trump's, or a facsimile, return to the oval office. We also pressed him on what he does and doesn't like about the new direction of the GOP and the Biden administration.
It sounds like a sobering episode and much of it is but, you know the Two Guys. They are not going to allow the destruction our of democracy to get in the way of humor and, surprisingly, this serious author blended right in. Anderson Cooper and Kanye West on the Stink list. Why?

S2E10 - Drawing Directors - A Conversation with Randal Kleiser
Randal Kleiser, the film and television director, producer, screenwriter and sometime actor is best known for directing the 1978 musical romantic-comedy film Grease, among some other iconic films you may remember, such as The Blue Lagoon, Summer Lovers and Big Top Pee Wee to name a few. He has a new book out which is charming titled Drawing Directors and Randal has drawn each of the illustrations live in the presence of these directors without their knowledge. He joins us in the studio to tell us what this is all about. We also discuss his films, his past, his present, his passions and what he has coming up! He's a charming man with some great Hollywood stories. And, as usual, the Two Guys are causing a ruckus and saying something wildly politically incorrect. Watch out Lizzo!

S2E9 - Club 90: The Sisterhood of Sex - A Conversation with Jane Hamilton, Veronica Vera and Robin Leonardi
Five women had no idea they were about to form a pornography sorority — a sisterhood that would change their careers, their lives and eventually, the way much of the public viewed people who work in porn. There was the "superstar" turned mom, Jane Hamilton aka Veronica Hart. The Jewish, artsy, exhibitionist, Annie Sprinkle, who claimed to have had sex with more than 3500 men. The former Girl Scout, Candida Royalle, an aspiring actress who was exiled from ballet at age 15 because she was too curvaceous. Veronica Vera, the girl with the strict Catholic upbringing who had a great sexual curiosity. And Gloria Leonard, the "nice Jewish girl" who had been a Wallstreet stockbroker and ended up taking on Larry Flynt and Bob Guccione as the publisher of her own High Society magazine.
Join us as we speak to Vera, Jane and Gloria's daughter, Robin, about this "club" and why it was formed as we take a stroll back to 70's porn!

S2E8 - The Dog Bites Back: An Interview with Dog the Bounty Hunter and Francie Chapman
A world EXCLUSIVE 40 minute interview with Duane Chapman, aka Dog the Bounty Hunter, and his wife Francie, (specifically talking about the accusations thrown at Dog) after the couples appearance on a Facebook Live show to promote their upcoming appearance at a church in Washington state. Alan Nevins (a past but longtime manager of Duane and Beth Chapman), and his co-host, Joey Santos, had lots of questions for the duo about their remarks, especially since the press promoted his outburst as a "homophobic rant" and a threat against failed Bud Light promoter Dylan Mulvaney. The video went viral hitting news outlets across the country. The co-hosts point out that the person who was inferred in the appearance does not identify as gay but as a transgendered woman. Both podcast hosts have their own annoyances with how the press handled the announcement. The interview gets heated on both sides, especially when talking about Christianity vs. “Hypo-Christianity” and how homosexuality is interpreted by the Christian faith and the various mis-interpretations found in the bible itself. The hosts breakdown the Facebook interview piece by piece so that the audience can understand how Duane and Francie’s remarks might have been taken out of context. The “Two Guys” insist that in a world where no one “listens and learns” everyone deserves the chance to at least be heard!
Many will find this interview enlightening but certainly will be shocked by what Dog and Francie ultimately say about Dylan Mulvaney and gays. They stand by their faith and are unapologetic for how they want to live their lives and their perspective on the world around them. .

Love the chemistry between Joey and Alan. The guest interviews are great and so is the dialogue between Alan and Joey at the start of the podcast.
