The Bar Is Low: McConnell, Platner, and the Mediocre Men in Power

This week, Andrea and I dive straight into the chaos - starting with Mitch McConnell, the myth‑making already happening around him, and the very real damage he leaves behind. From Kentucky politics to gun violence, hypocrisy, and the endless parade of mediocre men clinging to power, we break down why voters keep choosing people who work against their own interests.Then we head to Maine, where Graham Platner’s Nazi tattoo, mustache, and mess of allegations somehow haven’t pushed him out of the Senate race. We talk DEI, toxic masculinity, and why the bar for leadership should be higher than “not a walking red flag.”And yes… we eventually get to Disclosure Day — Spielberg’s wonder, aliens, Catholicism, and whether humanity could handle the truth. (Spoiler: probably not.)It’s sharp, it’s honest, it’s hilarious, and it’s very us.As always, remember it really is All About The Joy.Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add, like and share.  You can now watch the livestream version of the show on YouTube at @CarmenLezeth You can also support AATJ by shopping at our STORE - Or by and buying us a coffee. We'd appreciate that greatly.  Also, if you want to find us anywhere on social media, please check out the link in bio page.
