Summary

With Biden and Trump set to face-off in their first presidential debate of 2024, Michael Kosta is taking a look at each candidate’s preparation. While Joe Biden is practicing being insulted at mock debates, Trump is lowering expectations, accusing Biden of doping, and making up some new words, like “refuttal.” Desi Lydic and Troy Iwata weigh in with a debate over the best type of debate prep. And, with a quarter million dollar investment from his parents, a garage to work from, and MC Hammer khakis, Jeff Bezos had everything he needed to start the empire known today as Amazon. From launching Amazon to launching a shuttle into space, Bezos has solidified his place as history’s most powerful nerd. Then, Emmy-winning writer, actor, and co-creator of the hit Max series “Hacks” Paul W. Downs talks about his multi-hyphenate role at the show, what it means in comedy to be a “hack,” how people outside of showbiz can relate to the character of Deborah Vance, and how The Daily Show brought him and his “Broad City” co-star Ilana Glazer into each other’s lives.
