My friend group is almost entirely liberals who’ve been hoodwinked by anti-Zionist Jews (think of them like “Jews for Jesus”) who hide behind a banner of “peace” while promoting right-wing Islamic extremist terrorists.

This episode features a clip from Strike Force Five, the podcast featuring Stephen Colbert, Seth Myers, John Oliver, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon, which they created to raise money for their staffs during the ongoing strike. I really enjoy their dynamic and it’s so fun that they all clearly like each other as compared to the olden days when there was so much animus between the late-night hosts. I pulled a clip of Steven Colbert telling the story of how he met his wife.

This episode features a clip of a YouTuber andewr reflecting on HBO’s How To with John Wilson, one of the best things I’ve ever seen. If like me, you missed hearing about it, it just wrapped on the 3rd and final season. There’s six 25 minute long episodes per season, and they are nothing like anything you’ve ever seen on TV before. Part personal video essay, part comedy, part poignant vignettes of everyday people. It’s the most NYC thing ever and it’s truly something special. Don’t miss it!
