This week, we’re following up with the Golden State Killer, we’re witnessing Bill Gates drink literal feces, and we’ll analyze the #Resistance’s breakdown. In terrible takes, we’ll see who was more tasteless: was it Michelle Wolf, at the White House Correspondents Dinner or Donald Trump at the Paralympics? In our literacy campaign, we’re talking about Nancy Isenberg’s White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America, and Patton Oswalt’s Silver Screen Fiend. In pop culture, Meek Mill’s release was a bright spot in an otherwise bleak week in which Bill Cosby was finally convicted of crimes he committed years ago, Tina Brown received a pitch for a #MeToo rehabilitation show featuring Charlie Rose, and Kanye West revealed his shared “dragon energy” with Donald Trump. Please note that this episode was recorded before Kanye said anything about slavery or the holocaust, so that’s why we didn’t talk about it.
