Summary

Michael D. Fuller joins to talk about Hulu's Murdaugh: Death in the Family. The conversation digs into what scripted drama can do that true-crime podcasts and prosecutors can't, especially around messy motives and family dynamics that don't fit a neat trial narrative. Plus, an opening segment on Trump's "don't give up the ship" blowup, congressional warnings about illegal orders, and new allegations that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered what may amount to a war crime at sea.

Produced by Corey Wara

We're running a couple of wonderful deals for the holidays, and today I want to tell you about

0:05.2

our substack behind the paywall price discount.

0:10.6

So it used to be that to get access to all our gist list offerings, where I make great jokes,

0:18.8

where I tell you about stories you might not have heard about.

0:22.1

For instance, the roller skating elephant and his love affair with a woman.

0:26.2

There's a lot of lawsuits involved.

0:28.3

There's a lot of chicanery and almost near-death experiences.

0:33.2

I found that story.

0:34.2

I'm giving it to you.

0:34.9

So it's not just the fines.

0:36.4

It's how I break down, say, an Oval Office visit in a way you won't find on The Gist

It is for paid subscribers to our substack.

The GIST list is now, are you ready, $49 a year? It's going up to $59.99 because of tariffs

after January 4th. But from now to January 4th, I want you to be able to get in for $49 a year.

1:07.4

And the way to do it is to text 33777 and text the word Mike. I'm Mike. I'm giving you

1:14.9

the gist list because I care. And if you care about supporting weird stories about trapping

1:22.6

bobcats in Indiana and a lot of other things, you will subscribe for only 49, not the 55 it was

1:30.0

until now, not the 5999 that these Trump tariffs are forcing us into, but for only $49,
