With Mama on vacation this week, we're taking a trip back to the first year of the Happy Hour Podcast when we got to meet Sexy Liberal Bob Cesca in person for the first time. And Jim was there, and Chris was there, and a "President" Trump wasn't even on our radar yet... Simpler times.For more Bob Cesca, check out the amazing Bob Cesca Show podcast on the Sexy Liberal network! Go to SexyLiberal.com and BobCesca.com

We're lounging against the machine with the one and only Richard Cheese (Mark Jonathan Davis). Believe it or not, this is the first time we've actually met in person, despite playing his version of Milkshake so much over the years that it's become Mama's happy place. We get live lounge versions of popular songs, talk politics, and a special announcement from Richard!Go to Richardcheese.com to check out his tour dates and buy his music. He'll be at the Rose Pasadena on August 31st.

Singer-songwriter Justin Utley is with us, and he's got quite a story to tell. He discusses his time in a Utah conversion therapy program and the thinking that goes into these things. There will be tears. And music!

Our friend Suil McCullough (Don't Be A Menace, The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling) is back with us in the basement! We hear stories from his recent stand-up tour and why he isn't doing overtly political material. Plus showbiz stories about nearly meeting Obama and surviving 'Terminal Velocity' with Charlie Sheen.

We're talking movies and politics with Alonso and Dave from the Linoleum Knife podcast. Topics include growing up in the south, seminal gay films, and Faye Dunaway. A great discussion!

We get to know Tom Steyer - the man, the activist, the presidential candidate. We find out all the reasons he is the anti-Trump: a true billionaire who made his money honestly and actually understands economics.

The hilarious Kristen Johnston (Mom, 3rd Rock From the Sun) isn't drinking and she'll tell you why. She's very upfront and honest about her sobriety, as detailed in her bestselling book, "Guts". We hear a lot of her story here and she explains how she's coping with the Trump presidency without substance abuse.

We sit down with the one and only Julie Brown! Not the reporter from the Miami Herald who broke the Jeffrey Epstein story, not Downtown Julie Brown, THE FUNNY ONE! We discuss some of her greatest hits (The Ex-beauty Queen's Got a Gun), how she could get a better table at restaurants (say she's Julie K. Brown from the Miami Herald), and why she can get away with making fun of people (she's so nice).

Mama's on vacation this week, so we're going back to 2015 when we sat down with American icon Lily Tomlin!

It's the return of OG Sexy Liberal Hal Sparks! (Lab Rats, Queer As Folk) We've got a lot of catching up to do - and some water to pour under the bridge. We recount the early days of the Sexy Liberal tour, give our takes on impeachment, and mull who we like for 2020. Reunited and it feels so good!
