Summary

Desi Lydic covers Congress grilling Kash Patel over buried details of the Epstein files and Trump's attempt to put an ocean between himself and the Epstein controversy via a castle-filled king cosplay in the U.K. Lewis Black has learned what a Labubu is, and he's pissed. He roasts every aspect of Labubu culture, from Labu-baptisms to toy theft, and offers Americans an equally stupid doll alternative to waste their money on. Actor Cooper Hoffman sits down with Desi to discuss his role in the new film, “The Long Walk.” They talk about how Stephen King’s dystopian novel feels relevant today, the physical challenges of walking 15 miles a day while acting, learning to lean into humanity with Hoffman’s co-star David Jonsson, and the importance of having people walk beside you through life.
