Plus for those who like to watch (*wink*), you can catch all the funniest moments and gayest chaos on the Lovett or Leave It YouTube channel. So check us out there, and listen to Lovett or Leave It wherever you get your podcasts.

What a Weekday: No Sleep Till Manhattan
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.

Ye Olde Abortion Ban
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!

What a Weekday: 2 Canceled 2 Debt
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.

They/Them Is Risen
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.

The Bible (Trump’s Version)
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.

What a Weekday: Trump on the Cross/Nasdaq
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.

Informative, silly, Lovett!
I work Saturdays and my highlight is starting to listen to this podcast during my lunchbreak (I live in Europe).
When the news depresses you too much, listen to a few of Lovetts jokes, enjoy the banter with the guests and hope for a few barks of Pundit.
Thank you for making this show every week- and bring back the rant wheel!!
You‘re not listening to it yet?
The funniest podcast on air. If you‘re not listening to it yet you should start now. Yes, right now. Do it.
No Audience No Problem.... why did you forget Kamala?
I am a friend of the show, listening to you from Switzerland. Our democracy is solid and a little boring. For reasons I still don’t fully understand, I watch the circus and horror of the Trump era from this part of the ocean.
I truly admire the way your show can still make me smile and informs me. And this is why I want to ask you this. I understand that Biden as your candidate deserves a lot of attention and analysis. But honestly, why does everyone make such a big deal of Joe Biden keeping it together for 24 minutes during his speech at the convention? This is ridiculous. For somebody with almost 50 years of political experience, this is a given. But there you are, all breaking into delight and rapture. On the other hand: why not a word about Kamala Harris in this episode? She is the one who has come such a long way against all odds. And she is awesome. Please keep it real and in balance. Do it for me. You are the ones who seems to be sane in spite of everything.
Thank you
