Summary

Lewis is back from his week-long comedy curation in upstate New York where he spent his 4th of July performing live. He returned to the madness of the day to commiserate with the rest of us about how the Boss’ Big Beautiful Bill isn’t really any of those things. But at least he has Prime Day to look forward too, right? He’s planning on following that up with a safari in Africa, where he hopes by the time he’s scheduled to return, he will be allowed to.
