Published: Feb. 5, 2019, 8:06 a.m.

Today's very special episode is our 250th!\xa0 To celebrate, we've assembled a compilation of some of our favorite moments over the past two and\xa0 half years.\xa0 If you've ever wanted to share the show to friends and family, this is the episode to do it.\xa0 \xa0In this episode, we explain:

  1. What the show's all about
  2. How liberal we are (or aren't)
  3. Whether we talk about\xa0non-political stuff
  4. How Trump changed the show, what "Yodel Mountain" is, what #ClearAsKushner is
  5. How seriously we take ourselves

And much more!

Then, as always, it's time for the answer to Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #112, which involved an angry drunken... murder (?)\xa0 As always, remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page\xa0so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!
