Errata From Last Week: We make mistakes. Please, if you find one, pause the podcast, and send us a note. orlyradiopodcast@gmail.com or phone it in 470-222-6759  

This week's show(s) is/are all about the Fox News GOP/Republican Primary Debate that was broadcast in a very constrained format from one of their affiliates in Ohio and then put behind a pay wall. Show 71, we MST3K all over the top 10 contenders and have a bit of fun with a drinking game throughout. We apologize if that offends you or if you find this boring. We will get back to a regular program with news and events in a more sober fashion next week. IN the mean time, enjoy the many hours of our broadcast, where we all get very tired by the end, which was 6 full hours after we began on Friday at 9:30pm.

PSA: Retirement: Welcome to the Not-So-Golden Years

The average retirement age is now 62, giving Americans, whose life expectancy is 78, a few golden years to enjoy. That is, if they have a retirement plan. According to a national survey by the Employee Benefit Research Institute, 73 percent of individuals who don’t have an IRA or a 401(k) have less than $1,000 in savings. What’s our not-so-secure safety net? Social Security. Nine out of 10 people 65 years or older receive benefits averaging a meager $1,294 a month.
