The Conservatarians welcome Frank J. Fleming, author of the new novel Sidequest: In Realms Ungoogled. Frank is the creator of the popular satire site IMAO, a humor columnist for the New York Post and USA Today, and also works as an electrical and software engineer. Jon and Stephen then discuss a questionable excerpt from James Comey’s tell-all book and New York’s Chick-Fil-A invasion.
The intro/outro music and Jon’s song of the week is “Silmät kiinni ja kädet ristiin” by Teksti-TV 666. Stephen’s song of the week is “Mario Lanza” by Paddy Hanna. To listen to all the music featured on The Conservatarians, subscribe to our Spotify playlist!
