The whole crew is back for Dogs of Browntown Episode 48! We kick off with some microphone shenanigans before diving into hilarious—and sometimes sobering—stories about shopping mishaps, predatory financing, and layaway memories. From there, we transition into political commentary, debating Bill Maher’s recent dinner with President Trump and what it means to engage across the aisle. Then we unpack the idea of a third presidential term—including a Diet Coke poisoning theory—then explore the intersection of comedy and politics, naming influences from Jon Stewart to Bill Burr.

Mid-episode, we shift gears to global trade—the rise of sweatshops and supply-chain antics—before riffing on everything from hookah wordplay to Tesla Cybertrucks and old-school basketball with secret-service lasers. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like doing clean comedy on a cruise ship, stick around for intimate tales of late-night buffet raids and the perils of seasickness. Then we touch on the passing of Pope Francis, wild historical pageantry, Hollywood set hazards, peanut-allergy etiquette, and life as a touring comic. Finally, we wrap up with announcements of upcoming shows!
