This week we drag the man who has been at the center of establishment Democratic politics for decades: Rahm Emmanuel. Our friends David Spector and Rohan Padhye join us for this Rahm-com in which we hopefully shed some light not only why this guy sucks, but why centrism as an ideology is a losing bet for Democrats.

Kate and Julia take a deep dive into all of the resignations: Rep Katie Hill, Deadspin staffers, Beto, all of 'em. Plus, we get a double dose of Reply Guy(s) of the Week.

Then Kate sits down with Maria Bamford backstage at The Bell House for a fucking excellent conversation about feminism in comedy clubs, being extremely online, and those who spread garbage opinions behind the guise of a character.
