Mike Lee and Limbaugh

Got a post-debate hangover? We've got the cure with this week's installment of the world-famous Ricochet Podcast. On deck for today's installment: Ricochet Editor-In-Chief Jon Gabriel sits in for James Lileks and we welcome two powerhouse guests -- Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) who recaps the debate, the House, Iran, and yes, mayonnaise.

And then, our old pal David Limbaugh checks in with another typical low energy podcast hit. Come on David, perk up!

Music from this week’s episode:

I Lost My Sugar in Salt Lake City by Johnny Mercer

We always call EJHill.

The opening sequence for the Ricochet Podcast was composed and produced by James Lileks.

    Nothing wrong with the expression 'balls out': Originally referred to the governor on old steam engines that had two balls that rotated across one another that would control speed depending on how fast they spun. Balls out meant going full speed or power.

    Thursdays are work days for me during college football season. Every time I try to pre-produce a graphic someone can't show. Oh, well. It is Halloween week. Therefore I know James was with us "in spirt" even though my Photoshop didn't seem to have a ghost of a chance this week.

    Besides, what could be scarier than that perennial holiday classic that aired on CNBC last night, "It's the Great Trumpkin, Charlie Brown!"?

    Vegan mayo is like gay marriage. Mayonnaise IS eggs and oil. Always has been, always will be. Other spices/flavors optional. Now, we can argue about whether or not the Feds should be involved with this but it doesn't change the fact that a product without eggs is not mayo any more than a marriage without cisgendered male and female is a marriage.
