Summary

It's Casual Friday! Joining us is Heather "Digby" Parton from the blog Hullabaloo. Also, H Jon Benjamin, aka the Jazz Daredevil, joins us to talk about his new soundtrack project and his live show in New Jersey.

First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the Harris-Walz blue wall press, Trump’s interview dropouts, Israel’s killing of Yahya Sinwar and ongoing assaults on Gaza and Lebanon, early voting in the US, death and justice in Texas and Tennessee, Secret Services’ systemic failures, and an unseemly $30m drop in the polymarket bucket, also parsing through Trump’s confusingly bad appearance on Fox and Friends, leaving hosts stunned over his nonsensical ramblings about attack ads and education. Diby then joins, as she helps Sam and Emma unpack Trump’s struggles at the most sycophantic of town halls with Univision, as he continues to get in his own way with his lies about January 6th and obsession with anti-immigrant fear-mongering. They also dive into early voting turnout trends, with massive numbers out of swing states highlighted by a particular gender gap favoring Democrat-voting women, and explore what that says about the GOP’s low-propensity push, before shifting into an extensive conversation on the Trump campaign’s preemptive attacks on election integrity, and what an attempt to steal the election with real political infrastructure behind it could look like. H. Jon. Benjamin. then helps to explore the relationship between luck and success, and why random and annoying DOES, in fact, = funny.  

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma unpack Jerry Seinfeld’s wildly reactionary relationship to comedy, watch Elon Musk make even the most sycophantic audience look awkward, and listen to Donald Trump struggle to tie together some frayed conspiratorial strings about “King of the Woke” Harvey Weinstein, plus, your calls and IMs!
