Join Jim and Greg as they offer the second installment of their highly coveted year-end awards. Today they remark on the people connected to politics that they’re most sorry to see pass away in 2022. They also share their choices for rising political stars and the political figures who appear to be fading into oblivion – rarely to be heard from again.
Listen to “In Memoriam 2021: Politics, Media, Business” on Spreaker.
2021 was been a very difficult year for many American families. It also brought us the sad news of the deaths of many famous people. In this first section of our three-part series, we will remember key figures in politics, media, and business.
Our list includes a pioneer in space exploration, presidential nominees, other prominent political figures, famed media personalities and more.
Listen to the full podcast to hear our tributes to prominent figures in these areas and do not miss our other podcasts remembering those we lost in sports and in entertainment.
Listen to “Three Martinis with Bob Costas” on Spreaker.
Jim and Greg welcome hall of fame broadcaster Bob Costas as their first-ever guest on the podcast. Costas joins us to clarify his positions on issues we have scrutinized in the past and explain why he believes he has been unfairly painted as a progressive over his comments on guns and his call years ago for the Washington Redskins to drop their mascot – which they did in 2020.
They also discuss comments Costas made in calling out the International Olympic Committee for cozying up to China for the upcoming Winter Olympics and the problem of groupthink in the sports world, where only one position is often considered acceptable.
Today, we give Costas the opportunity to tell us exactly where he stands in all of these areas. Be sure to join Jim and Greg on Friday as they react to what was said.

Jim Geraghty is joined by Chad Benson who is filling in for Greg Corombos for this episode where they begin by raising a glass to applaud Nancy Pelosi’s recent call for a diplomatic boycott of the upcoming Olympics in China. The cheers end with the second round of the day as the discussion turns to Biden’s policy reversal on Russia’s Nord Stream 2 Pipeline. For last call, Jim and Chad share their thoughts about a close call: the government now acknowledges that UFOs are very real. Check, please.

Listen to “Dems Stuck in the House, Legendary Bad Advice, Manchin vs. AOC” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they relish Democrats likely having such a tight majority in the House that it will be tough for many to accept jobs in the executive branch because the vacancies could make it tough for Democrats to get much legislation done. They also hammer musician John Legend for suggesting you’ll do more good donating to Democrats running for U.S. Senate in Georgia than giving to your local food bank. And they update the infighting among Democrats by discussing the latest salvos from Joe Manchin and AOC.
Listen to “Defunding the Police, Woke Health Experts, The New York Times Surrenders” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg for one of the craziest Three Martini Lunches we’ve ever had! First, they dissect the ludicrous push to defend and dismantle police departments and react to Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender suggesting crime victims who would normally call the cops need to understand their privilege by not having police come. They also hammer public health “experts” for declaring that the racial justice protests are more important than stopping the coronavirus, but other protests should not go forward, and stay-at-home protests are rooted in white nationalism. And they chronicle the New York Times fully surrendering to the woke mob.
Listen to “In Memoriam 2019: Politics & Business” on Spreaker.
2019 brought us many headlines, including the sad news of the deaths of many famous people. In this section, we will remember key figures in politics and business.

Listen to “What Conservatives Want to Keep, Part 1” on Spreaker.
Whether a member of the House or Senate, Jim DeMint was known as one of the most conservative lawmakers on Capitol Hill. But what does it mean to be conservative? That’s what DeMint and colleague Rachel Bovard address in their new book “Conservative: What to Keep.”
In an interview with Greg Corombos, DeMint explains that conservative means keeping what works best for people.
“It’s keeping our covenants, keeping our faith. It’s keeping our differences, keeping our republic, which is the decentralized idea that our founders. (It also means) keeping our traditions and keeping our land of opportunities which is all about free market economics,” said DeMint.
Listen to the first part of the conversation in the this podcast as DeMint also discusses why progressives see religion as a threat to their political agenda, how politics is becoming a religion to many, and how to defend capitalism at a time when it is constantly labeled a system of greed and selfishness.
