We’re joined by Bryan Quinby to review Jerry Seinfeld’s new Netflix film Unfrosted, about the invention of Pop Tarts. We dive into this bizarre & joyless cultural artifact which is a parade of humiliation for the numerous comedians featured in it, and a window into the seemingly bottomless well of misanthropy underneath Seinfeld’s banal observational humor. A romp!

Alex is on today as we catch up with the weekend’s drama over the 2024 Eurovision song contest and ask which is more real, twitter or Eurovision (those are the only two options). Then, some disastrous new polls for the Biden campaign, Trump searches for a VP and praises Hannibal Lecter, and Bret Stephens & Gail Collins search for the true value of a commencement speech and decide it’s about telling kids to get off their damn phones.

David Roth joins us for a look at sports gambling’s rapid rise and infiltration of every institution of professional sports. We look at how it developed, who’s affected, the insidious exploitation of gambling addiction, and how the permissibility of gambling has extended to players in the leagues themselves. We also discuss RFK Jr.’s brain worm, and the crypto bracelet entrepreneur who gave the worst commencement speech of all time at Ohio State.

We’re joined by Theda Hammel & John Early to revisit director Howard Hawks, this time look at two of his classic screwball comedies: 1940’s His Girl Friday and 1938’s Bringing Up Baby. Both feature Cary Grant in complete goofball-mode bedeviled by brassy women who refuse to give him a dang break. His Girl Friday adds the levity of newsroom hijinks while reporting on the impending execution of an accused murderer, while Baby brings us the hilarious light touch of Grant and Katharine Hepburn dealing with a live leopard.

Theda & John’s new movie Stress Positions is in theaters now!

Tom, Tarence and (welcome to the show!) Aaron from the Trillbillies join us for another week of horror and spectacle around the War in Gaza. We touch on the ceasefire agreement being rejected basically as we were recording, some of the clumsy NYPD PR response to last week’s Columbia raid, and the pundit class tantrum over being denied free access to interviews with protesting students. But we also have some levity, in John Fetterman’s freakout over vat meat, the Biden admin’s flaccid signaling over marijuana legalization, and Patrick Bet-David’s praise for future God-Emperor Barron.
