What's better than having an Olympic medal in pole vaulting? At least one thing, that's for sure. Kamala Harris (Allison Reese) stops by yet again to discuss picking the nicest of Vices. Hari Kondabolu and Pete Holmes are good sports, and even better philosophers, and we close out the show by honoring the man of the hour (and hopefully the next four years) Tim Walz with a celebration of dad-itude.

And we're back! Joe Biden isn't going anywhere fast. Donald Trump is going mum on Project 2025, which is actually Secret Rule #57461 of Project 2025. And a horse gets loose on Independence Day, and we’re going to stop you right there: despite what you might be thinking, it is absolutely not a metaphor.

And we're back! The shit has hit the fan but, hey, still nice to have a breeze. Elected democrats are starting to speak out against nominating Biden - with their names attached even.

Something to look forward to?
