Summary

Lovett or Leave It prepares for a much needed holiday this week at LA’s Dynasty Typewriter. Laci Mosley and Lovett set sail for the Montgomery riverbank, and they’re bringing their own folding chair. Maria Bamford considers vacationing with the cult of her choice. We all bring plenty of baggage when Ian Harvie unpacks iconic LGBTQ commercials. Bridger Winegar hopes America’s celebrities left room in their suitcase, because he’s got something special for everyone. And the Rant Wheel brings you some souvenirs for the road: the truth about 12-step groups, the Regal Cinema intro, and, of course, the lack of soft serve on the West Coast.
