Tragically, Lovett entered a catatonic state this week after watching Wicked 24 times in a 72 hour period. Luckily, that gave us the perfect opportunity to welcome Keep It’s Louis Virtel as our substitute host! This week, the Oscar goes to Bruce Vilanch for juiciest behind-the-scenes gossip. Raven Symoné spells out her life in television, and it’s worth way more than seven points. And Louis and the gang pick out the gay gift for the gifted gay in all of our lives.

Trump adds more haunted dolls to his cabinet of curiosities. Elon Musk is taking the government he purchased out for a joy ride. Matt Gaetz inspires us to ask the important questions like, “Where’s Nestor?” DNC members are pointing so many fingers, they’re going to put an eye out.

The worst people believe their worldview has been validated, while the best people are uncertain, scared, and angry. But we have to stay focused on the menace, including the threat to officials Trump may target for revenge—and the immigrants whose cheap and willing labor helped build our economy.

This week, Lovett or Leave It takes a big sip of coffee and reads who won the 2024 presidential election. Donald Trump takes the White House, Republicans take the Senate, and RFK Jr. takes the fluoride out of our water the first moment he can. Lovett opens the floor to questions from his audience like, “What the hell?” and “Are you kidding me?" and we cycle through the five stages of being an American, before taking our listeners on a much needed joyride.
