In Alaska, I'm exploding.

Hello and welcome to Still Watching, a weekly television podcast from Vanity Fair.

I'm Richard Lawson.

And I'm Chris Murphy.

We're here to discuss the seventh episode of the HBO series Succession, Tailgate Party.

I'm jumping on the digital battle bus, Tailgate Party, we nail it down, yeah.

And later, Succession's odd couple, Frank and Carl, played by Peter Friedman and David

Erasch.

We'll be dropping by to talk about dressing down the Roy children and an epic Frank and

Carl moment that was left on the Cutting Room floor.

But first, a recap of the episode.

Tom and Shib's relationship seems on a sexy upswing as they host a fancy pre-election

party.

And guess what?

Father Sexmas has brought you hot, fresh polling.

Turns out, Connor could be a deciding factor in the election.

So Roman tries to convince him to drop out on behalf of Jared Mankin.

But fails.

There's one person here who doesn't think I'm a joke.

So that's who I'm going to listen to.

Alumni of the Scooby-Doo Business School, Kendall and Roman sniff out that Madison's numbers

aren't quite right and escalate their plan to kill the Gojo deal.
