Matt Walsh & Timothy Simons
About this episode

He’s been a senior strategist for Presidents and even took a stab at the Vice Presidency role - Gary Cole visits us on today’s episode! This week Matt and Tim rewatch Episode 7: “Shutdown”.

SYNOPSIS: With D.C. in the midst of a government shutdown, Selina is forced to furlough some of her staff. A damaging story leaks about Selina's ex-husband, Andrew; Danny Chung takes advantage of the shutdown and Gary and Jonah go on a run to retrieve Selina's trash. 

Gary Cole, who plays the noodle analogy loving Kent Davidson, talks about how he went about finding Kent and how he managed to bring so much humor out of such a stoic character.
