Another Fine Mess

News EN ↓ 10 episodes

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 d...

Episodes

Another Fine Mess 11 - Red Cards, Green Cards & All Around Bad Hands 08.07.2026

The boys tackle lots of news, spending plenty of time on the U.S. World Cup disruption, but not neglecting the NATO meeting, the restarted war, Graham Platner, another ICE murder, and the gutting of America's greatest treasures - our National Parks. If that's not enough, Mike shares the history of canned food and a bit of an oversight.

Another Fine Mess 10 - The Court, The Fourth, & Needing Democrats Who Focus 02.07.2026

The gents excoriate the much-less-than-Supreme Court, but Mike may piss off some fellow libs in the process. It's more amateur hour at the war & peace table, Roger takes a New York candidate to task, and Mike finds one post-presidential job he really likes.

Another Fine Mess 9 - Reflecting Pool, Pure D Racists & the Hapsburg Jaw 24.06.2026

Roger & Mike covered a lot this week. Republicans trying to ban IVF, Republicans telling their own Muslim members to leave the country, a grocery store racist who made $125k, some 16th century Austrian history, and blue paint bubbling to the green surface. Despite the algae, this episode of AFM is good, (mostly) clean political fun.

Another Fine Mess 8 - Pieces of Peace, World Cup Friendship & Polly Wants a Cracker 16.06.2026

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.

Another Fine Mess 7 - Border Walls, Wartime Brawls, Screwworm Calls & Little Bumps 11.06.2026

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.

Another Fine Mess 6 - No Science, No Integrity, Fewer Murders & Frogs 04.06.2026

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.

Another Fine Mess 5 - Lower Courts, Bailing Musicians, a $250 Bill & the Shortest War 31.05.2026

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.

Another Fine Mess 4 - Paxton??, HUD, Corruption & Bowling 21.05.2026

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.

Another Fine Mess 3 - A Caving Senator, Corruption & the Muppets 14.05.2026

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 10.05.2026

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.
