Biden is out, Kamala is in. Trump is mad. Elon wants to spend a lot of money on another failed project. We also talk about couch fornicator and Vice Presidential hopeful JD Vance's very bad memoir "Hillbilly Elegy" as well as some other fun things with WK legal correspondent and right-wing b.s. understander Mark Bankston

Note: this was recorded the day Trump got convicted and sat on the shelf for awhile, some of the intro banter has arguably not aged well.

We talk about the Dr. Disrespect situation with the person at the heart of the story. If you didn't know, Rod initially alluded to this story on twitter in 2020 but didn't explicitly state what he knew, causing a wave of backlash. We ask him why he couldn't go public then, what he knew, what's changed since, and what to expect going forward.

Today, we're joined by WK Gaming Correspondent Dave aka @airbagged to discuss and dissect the mind of a generational pervert, Mark Kern aka Grummz. Happy Grummz Day everybody.

You might know him as the lawyer who got his "Perry Mason" moment against Alex Jones during the Sandy Hook trials. You might know him as the guy who told Aaron Rodgers to shut the f*ck up. You might know him as the attorney representing clients who are suing Elon Musk, Tim Pool, and many, many more. Mark joins us to talk about some of his cases, as well as the right-wing disinfo ecosystem more broadly.

Ben Collins is back to talk about his journey to become the new CEO of The Onion. We talk some Onion history and what the future of the publication might look like.
