Summary

Jennifer Welch, host of the podcast “I’ve Had It”  joins Sam to talk about taking a midlife gap year in Manhattan and how the country is led by people with no shame, and you just can’t shame the shameless. They talk about how she navigates the daily shitstorm (by starting her day at 5am with four shots of espresso), staying on Twitter despite the Elon Musk factor, how growing up atheist in Oklahoma taught her how to dissociate from craziness around her, fellow Oklahoman Markwayne Mullin at DHS, and how to reckon with leaders who don’t value human life. But, Jennifer also somehow gives Sam a little optimism talking about the problems with strongmen leaders, and why Democrats need to stop chasing the elusive “reasonable Republican” voter. Plus, they unpack some potential 2028 candidates and rage over why democratic leaders can’t speak extemporaneously. Keep up with Samantha Bee @realsambee on Instagram and X.

Hey, it's Hassam Minhaj here from the Hassam Minhaj doesn't know podcast, among other things. And I hate the smell of rotting food almost as much as I hate wasting it in the first place. Thankfully, now I have Mill. Mill is a food recycler that is odorless, guiltless, and completely effortless. See, I've always wanted to reduce my food waste. It is one of the easiest ways for an individual to make a big impact on the environment. But I just cannot stand the mess of a compost bin in the kitchen. But with

mill, all you do is dropping your scraps and you let it go. It works quickly and quietly turning

way better, and I don't have to feel guilty when my zucchini gets moldy. Plus, it looks cool.

Yeah, this trash can alternative is so fly. People keep asking me, where I got the giant Alexa?

It's chic and savvy, but you have to live with Mill to really get it.

Hey there, it's Julia Louis Dreyfus.

I'm back with a new season of Wiser Than Me, the show where I sit down with remarkable older women and soak up their stories, their humor, and their hard-earned wisdom.

1:25.3

Every conversation leaves me a little smarter and definitely more inspired.

1:30.3

And yes, I'm still calling my 91-year-old mom, Judy, to get her take on it all.

Wiser than me from Lemonada Media is out now, wherever you get your podcasts.

Oh, where to begin.

Actually, scratch that. I do know one person who seems to be finding plenty of time to relax.

2:13.4

Oh, yes, I do have some very serious choice words for the fact that President Trump spent the weekend golfing again for his estimated 98th golf game of this term.

2:29.7

Gee, I'm starting to think that his administration prefers it when he's golfing so they can get on with the important work of starting wars in the Middle East, floating the idea of a military draft, and spending all their time making AI graphics of what they wish the president looked like instead of the big rash he actually is.

President Trump couldn't even resist golfing the same weekend that he went to the dignified
