Evan returns with a double episode! First, Actress Elisabeth Donaldson talks about being a full-time artist in Nashville, Tennessee and how it’s different from being an actress in LA. (3:50) Plus the story of how she got Evan and his wife into SAG at the same time, going Fi-Core, navigating the pandemic and whether she’s interacted with other Elisabeth Donaldsons. They also go into all of Elisabeth’s creative talents and then scan some obituaries of recently departed Elisabeth Donaldson.

Then it’s a returning (and pregnant) Angela McArdle who is now the National Chair of the Libertarian Party. How did she level up so fast and get over 2/3 of the votes to be the national spokesperson for a political party? We recap her campaigning, how she got Los Angeles to stand down with its v—ine mandate, her thoughts on the Libertarian presidential candidates in 2020 and what 2024 may hold. Evan also gets her party’s new stance on abortion, thoughts on Donald Trump, and how being in a third party still gets her opinions assigned to being left or right. 

In honor of Elisabeth’s appearance, buy this French book on Amazon written by Donaldson Elisabeth! 

In honor of Angela’s return, buy her Communist Cookbook on Amazon! Yum!

We hear a lot about Democrats and Republicans, but what about those smaller parties? Angela McArdle is a Libertarian Organizer, Activist and Chair of the LA County Libertarians. How did she find the Libertarian Party? What drew her to it? Angela breaks down some of its tenets as well as her experiences running for office. Also, who could be the 2020 Libertarian nominee for President and how is their convention different? All this plus Angela gives her reasons California Governor Gavin Newsom should be recalled and the stupidity behind #AB5, a law that will essentially kill California’s gig economy and freelance work. Liberty beats awkward!

Then, in a surprise swerve, Evan and Mark talk politics. Why did they both vote Libertarian in the last election? (It was for the same reason.) And does he think Trump will be re-elected?
