Another Fine Mess

Another Fine Mess is not just another politics and news podcast. Hosts Roger Gray and Mike Vance were afternoon drive talk radio partners back at the start of the century. They amused Houston audiences with not only political talk but entertainment, books, sports and humor. Lots of humor. That's because, while Roger has a half century of traveling the world doing news, Mike was a professional stand-up comedian and fronted an original country music band for two decades. They went their separate ways for a bit, but could not abide the idea of today's mess of a world going unchallenged. They're doing just that each week in Another Fine Mess! You can expect to hear a little of that entertainment, sports and history talk, too. Learn something, and do it with a smile.Mike Vance is the author of fifteen non-fiction books on Texas history, sports, and comedy, and four historical fiction novels.

    Another Fine Mess 8 - Pieces of Peace, World Cup Friendship & Polly Wants a Cracker

    Do we have a peace deal even if the terms are not disclosed and each side is giving a different story? Roger and Mike will wait until the tree falls in forest to find out. Meanwhile, there is some heartwarming news related to the World Cup and the same old BS from the White House over election ballots. And Mike's history fact is all about cussing parrots.

  2. 5

    Another Fine Mess 7 - Border Walls, Wartime Brawls, Screwworm Calls & Little Bumps

    First off, don't expect rhyming titles moving forward, but the guys talk Big Bend wall, Middle East blunders, total lack of foresight and much more. The history fact has to do with reading the little bumps on your noggin.

  3. 4

    Another Fine Mess 6 - No Science, No Integrity, Fewer Murders & Frogs

    The guys give you the lowdown on the shutdown of science by the administration, and Mike says both sides can pat themselves on the back for the lowest murder rate in 100 years. Meanwhile, there is no morality in site on Pennsylvania Avenue. But there were plenty of mobility-impaired bullfrogs in New Orleans in the 1930s.

  4. 3

    Another Fine Mess 5 - Lower Courts, Bailing Musicians, a $250 Bill & the Shortest War

    The gents warily compliment some lower court rulings, dive into the mosh pit at the maga co-opting of our Declaration's 250th birthday, and explore the whack-a-mole that is this administration's corruption. Mike's weird history fact looks at the world's shortest war ever.

  5. 2

    Another Fine Mess 4 - Paxton??, HUD, Corruption & Bowling

    The guys are not exactly dumbfounded at the dumbness coming from the dumbass in the White House. They love the movie Hud, but not the hijinks at HUD. And Mike's weird history fact takes you bowling with Tricky Dick.

  6. 1

    Another Fine Mess 3 - A Caving Senator, Corruption & the Muppets

    Roger wanted to talk about how a once mainstream Republican Senator who would work across the aisle has hit rock maga bottom. There's also The War, the usual White House corruption, and Mike exposes (hehe) the truth behind a Muppets legend.

    Another Fine Mess Ep 2 - Voting Rights, The War & Dentures

    Mike is supremely cheesed over the Supreme Court ruling for racism and against the Voting Rights Act, and he recounts the history of voting discrimination. Roger has more talk about The War plus a ballroom update you need to know. And there's a Weird History Fact about dentures. In other words, lots to chew on... yes, we did.
