- Jon Ossoff lays into Pete Hegseth, Trump puts the squeeze on Canada, and Zohran Mamdani removes the welcome mat for Benjamin Netanyahu. This week, Brendan Hunt is at the top of his game, talking Ted Lasso, Jimothy, and the World Cup. Gregg Araki joins to talk about Gen X, Gen Z, and what happens when people are afraid of discomfort. And then we all get comfortable with our Second Thoughts.

This week, W. Kamau Bell grills and roasts Lovett, while Patrick Renna has fun in the ‘90s sun. And we play back the tape on our Second Thoughts.
Find Kamau's new show "Who's With Me? with W. Kamau Bell" on YouTube or wherever you get podcasts. Every week, he sits down with someone he admires to give them their flowers, ask his most burning questions, and discuss how to make the world a better place. Check out recent episodes with Leslie Jones on turning pain into comedy, Robert Reich on the fight for democracy, and Kristen Kish on authenticity.

This week, Des Bishop does stand-up all over the globe, Carmen Christopher passes our Egg of Truth questions without even studying, and we look back at a veritable yearbook full of Second Thoughts, before the final bell rings.

Plus, we are happy to hang around with the hilarious David Wain, Joe Lo Truglio, and Rachael Harris as we talk when to leave summer camp, how to succeed on Star Trek, and ways to navigate Los Angeles. Plus rants AND second thoughts? What an episode.

This week, Congressman Maxwell Frost talks zombie congress, Gen Z progressives and (sigh) Alf. Margaret Cho and Langston Kerman know the truth is out there - but in here, it’s mostly jokes about Heated Rivalry and trying to poop. And we pay our last respects with a round of Second Thoughts (and one very special kudos).
