Learn to Love Dr. Pepper feat. Guy Branum
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.
Want more of Guy Branum? He'll be at Dr. Grins Comedy Club in Grand Rapids, Michigan, from June 27 through 29. Get your tickets, on sale now.

What A Weekday: Veep Paralysis Demon feat. Langston Kerman
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.

Gay Guy Podcasting School feat. Jared Goldstein
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.

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.

Alito's Red Flags feat. Matt Rogers
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.

Customer Reviews
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
Swiss Friend
