Live from The Vic Theater in Chicago, we've got hope in one hand and Malört in the other, baby! Vice President Kamala Harris (Allison Reese) sobers up after a week of morning beers and DNC cheers. Lizz Winstead and Marcella Arguello rank the words right out of the doofus's mouth. Author Josh Noel gives a drunk history of Malört. Finally, we all pledge to do something or at least give it our best shot, and then a couple more.

Another week, another round of deeply off-putting JD Vance clips. Roxane Gay addresses gun rights and gun wrongs. Simon Rex and Ashley Ray dwell on some very sexy residences.  And the Rant Wheel spins once again.

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.

We bring home the gold with a star-studded line-up of studs and stars. Wayne and Maile Masako Brady find out if Father really does know best. Janina Gavankar lets the (video) games begin. Ron Perlman talks Republican creatures and incredible features, and we all plop our slop on the podium at the Average Joe-lympics.

What A Weekday? More like what a weirdo! JD Vance takes on Big Cat Lady, President Biden takes on the Supreme Court, Donald Trump takes Christians for fools, and Lovett takes home in the bronze in pommel horse. At least, in his mind, he does.

Hot off Biden's endorsement, Kamala Harris (Allison Reese) returns to the show, fired up and ready to go. Monet X Change drags Republicans through the hallowed halls of Congress. And as the Olympics begin, we're feeling patriotic and taking that feeling out for a spin.

What a weekend. The coconuts are falling, the head of the Secret Service is leaving, and Kris Kristofferson is living. Let's Go!

RNC you next Tuesday! We bid farewell to America's Dairyland, but not before an incredible show at Madison's Barrymore Theater. This week, Victoria Vincent is anything but conventional. Mandela Barnes and Fran Hong break down the far right and the Frank Lloyd Wrong. Thomas Lennon helps our audience find the plot, and we finish off the evening with a delicious spin of The Cheese Wheel. Did we mention we're in Wisconsin?

The temperature and the vibes are down as we head into the Republican convention after a weekend of mayhem and "unity." Trump chooses Vance. Biden chooses his words carefully. And Democrats in Congress choose not to choose.

President Biden holds a press conference and Democrats hold their collective breath. Marcy Jarreau ponders Real Housewife vs White House life. Rep. Janelle Bynum has what it takes to win the Beaver State. Jay Pharaoh puts his balls in Lovett's court, and we celebrate one of life's greatest pleasures: quitting.

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. The Supreme Court rules the president CAN'T ban pollution but CAN kill his rivals (during business hours). And... I don't know... Gladiator 2 and Wicked are coming out at the same time? Something to look forward to?

We've arrived in Boston and boy are our arms tired! Of waving at President Biden to stop making that face! Kathleen Turner is here and she has STORIES. Author Gretchen Felker-Martin helps us pick between the mundane and the macabre. And Jay Jurden parks his car in the Harvard Yard for some Gay News (Boston's Version). Thanks to the Wilbur and Happy Pride!

Lovett or Leave It doubles your pleasure, doubles your fun at our second and final Asheville show! TS Madison takes a second look at this week's newsworthy freaks. Jeff Jackson shares his two cents on Republican extremism. Justice Allison Riggs and Lovett divide and conquer your everyday ethical conundrums, and the Want Wheel has us thinking twice about our own deep, dark, hilarious desires.

Lovett Or Leave It arrives for our first Asheville show ready to listen and learn! Head of the North Carolina Democratic Party Anderson Clayton teaches us about Gen Z, and it sounds so much cooler when she says it. TS Madison and Lovett canonize recent moments in queer history. Lovett tests the locals on nearby news, and the Rant Wheel schools us all in the art of being enraged.

Lovett or Leave It touches down in Charlotte, North Carolina for our first show back on tour! This week, Sydnee Washington gets Lovett up to speed. Tressie McMillan Cottom helps us slow down and appreciate the wordsmiths in our midst. Dante Pittman gets our heart rate up talking about extreme North Carolina Republicans, and we roll into our next show on the surging horse power of our audience's rant suggestions. See you in Asheville!

Guest host Guy Branum joins us for the final episode of Lovett or Leave It before the return of the king. This week, Martha-Ann Alito (James Adomian) stops by to let her freak flag fly. Dean of USC's Gould School of Law Franita Tolson explains whether or not we should be terrified of this year's Supreme Court rulings. Clark Gregg puts the "stage" in late-stage capitalism, and we spin the Rant Wheel one more time before it makes its way back into Lovett's capable, sunburned hands.

Langston Kerman guest hosts the last What A Weekday until Father… we mean, until Lovett gets home. This week, Trump narrows down which conservative ghoul shall receive his vice presidential rose. What happens in Vegas, stays in the belly of a shark. Mark Robinson's train of thought flies off the rails. There's a conspiracy afoot, and since it's Alex Jones's foot, you know just the sight of it is gonna make you puke.

Jared Goldstein tastes the rainbow this Pride as our very special Lovett Or Leave It guest host! BenDeLaCreme reads the world for filth, Hacks' Mark Indelicato auditions for the role of a lifetime, and the kaleidoscopic Rant Wheel lands on gay slang, straight guys who paint their nails, and, of course, JoJo Siwa.

Adam Rippon skates by on his good looks and incredible comedic timing for this week's What A Weekday! This week, Donald Trump appears on America's For You Page. Trump's conviction reveal leads to conservative squeals. Simone Biles gives us all a reason to keep living, and the extremely online athletes of TikTok demand we all quit horsing around.

Guest host Ian Karmel steps into Lovett's Cariumas for a very special post-Trump conviction Lovett or Leave It episode. Ian's wife, writer Dana Schwartz, stops by to fall in love all over again. Head writer Halle Kiefer chats with Ian about being members of the T-Shirt Swim Club. Preacher Lawson roasts the unroastable, and we all gather together to say, like the Pope did this week: mi scusi.

Matt Rogers not only survives, he thrives as Lovett or Leave It's guest host this week. During the show, Aasif Mandvi proves all jokes can be dad jokes. Atsuko Okatsuka leaves the people pleased. Rachel Bloom checks herself before she Shreks herself, and we get straight (cis male) to the point when it comes to Katy Perry.

Las Culturistas host Matt Rogers joins What A Weekday! today and what a weekday is it. This week, the prosecution rests while the defense snoozes in Trump's hush money trial. Rudy Giuliani gets served more than birthday cake. Jasmine Crockett goes toe-to-toe to Marjorie Taylor Greene, and you can only imagine what those toes look like. Billie Eilish takes us out to "Lunch," and we applaud for Cate Blanchett as long as we Cannes.

This week, Lovett Or Leave It is Larry Wilmore or Leave It, as the Black on the Air host joins us for a brand-new episode from the SiriusXM G. Laurie Kilmartin royally screws the screwed-up royals. Hamish Linklater and Lily Rabe narrowly avoid an awkward ride home. Bradley Whitford weighs in on what president he'd invite into his Oval Office, and we close out the show by putting Trump's words in everybody's mouth.

Louis Virtel joins us for some fava beans and a nice Limoncello La Croix for today's What A Weekday! This week, Donald Trump's Hannibal Lecter speak leaves a funny taste in our mouth. Robert and Nadine Menendez are couple goals. The Taylor Swift concert baby has better seats than we do, and we end the show the way we always do: with 1,500 spiders and scorpions.

Andy Richter fills Lovett's shoes and then some as Lovett or Leave It's guest host of the week! Yamaneika Saunders and Jared Goldstein stop by to help out an old white man. Herman J. Pamper (Andy Daly) helps Andy get to the bottom of the MAGA diaper rumors, and you are NOT going to like what they find down there. And we end the evening with a spin of the Rant Wheel!

The incredible Maria Bamford joins us this Tuesday for What A Weekday! This week, Kevin Spacey wants YOU to vote for RFK Jr. We get into the sultry financial details of Trump's hush money trial. Boeing tries to lasso the moon, and Kristi Noem has a ruff time defending her thoughts on dog murder.

Lovett Or Leave It is ready to take life by the horns this Taurus season. Rose Abdoo looks back on a life of cattle calls. Jena Friedman recommends Republicans and comedians all cut the bull. Two Gay Matts figure out if they're on the same side of the fence, and we spin the Rant Wheel 'til the cows come home.

Just like Biden, What a Weekday comes out swinging. The president roasts Trump on the campaign trail. Kristi Noem ends up in the dog house. It's both the heat and the humidity in the Arizona GOP, and Galena the cat survives Amazon to fight another day.

Live from our nation's perfect capital, Al Franken stops by to look at the latest batch of lying liars. Mehdi Hasan doesn't pull punches or eat sushi. Sam Jay and Josh Gondelman crown a new Freak of the Week, and we ask our guests the question, "Would you smash or would you passover?"

Congress passes Ukraine aid and Trump passes… time in Court. We're back in Austin for this year's Moontower comedy festival. Lovett tries to convince the Sklar Brothers to open up a fresh can of worms. Joyelle Nicole Johnson wouldn't trust Greg Abbott farther than she can throw him. Tim Miller weighs in on which Trump lackeys are all hat and no cattle. Zach Zucker keeps his saddled oiled for the men of the Wild West, and we bring it on home with a do-si-do around the Texas Rant Wheel.

We're live and brooding from the Tortured Podcasts Department. This week, Acapulco's Jaime Camil pages through his motorcycle diaries. Sam Taggart and Nikki Glaser start a gay-to-straight translation service, and we throw the ol' Rant Wheel on the turntable, roll up the rug, and blast our favorite screeds and tirades.

Donald Trump gets a courtroom visit from the Sandman. President Biden forgives (more student loans) while American voters forget (what the hell it was like living under Trump). And Grimes's Coachella set has us desperately seeking Skrillex. Please, save us, Skrillex. We beg of you.

Lovett or Leave It dims the lights and slips into something more comfortable for a late show at LA's Lyric Hyperion! Paula Poundstone joins for What A Week to help us process a hideous abortion ban and a gay bug fungus. Hari Kondabolu stops by to put the petty in pet peeves, and James III shares his appreciation for cinematic masterpiece Bad Boys II in a round of Ok, Stop. And we could keep going! We're not even sleepy!

It's the day after the eclipse, and boy, are our retinas tired! The world's biggest liar is at it again, this time pretending he wouldn't sign a national abortion ban with the thickest Sharpie he owns. President Biden finds a kinky new way to forgive student debt, the Rock finds the loudest possible way to say nothing, and all of us find out together how much $30 million weighs.

Astronomers warn not to stare directly at Lovett or Leave It, or you'll burn out your retinas. This week, Brendan Scannell and Kara Klenk shine a light on women, and whether we can trust them. Dewayne Perkins and Katrina Davis look at the brighter side of horror, and the sun sets on our deepest, darkest grudges.

Good Friday? More like Great Saturday! This week, Lovett or Leave It welcomes the eggcellent Busy Philipps, who rolls back the stone on the secrets of womanhood. Congressional candidate Will Rollins hops to it for the people of Palm Springs. And Gianmarco Soresi stops by to crack some yolks about the Great White Way.

Lovett or Leave It was disappointed not to be chosen as RFK Jr.'s running mate today, but don't worry, we'll still be voting for him come November. Meanwhile, Ronna McDaniel's gets the best of both worlds: being on TV and everyone hating you. Donald Trump compares himself to Jesus, and not just because of those washboard abs. Rudy Giuliani screams across the void from his nightmare world, and producer Kendra has us doing quad axels with her knowledge of, and love for, the world's most slippery spins.
