About this episode

Michael Kosta unpacks the latest in Musk and Trump’s messy bromance breakup: Elon doubling down on critiques against the Big Beautiful Bill, Trump’s parent-level guilt, Kanye West calling for a ceasefire, and threats of an Epstein files leak. Plus, Grace Kuhlenschmidt explains that the president is merely playing a game of 7D chess.

Back in Black: Students and teachers alike are outsourcing all their work to AI, but Lewis Black thinks kids should stop experimenting with AI in college and go back to experimenting with fun things, like LSD.

Jonathan D. Cohen, historian and author of the new book, “Losing Big: America’s Bet on Sports Gambling,” joins Michael to break down how legalized sports betting has become such a huge part of American sports culture, industry, and has created a public health gambling addiction crisis, especially among young men. He details how the sports betting apps use endless scroll and obscure international sports to keep users in a chokehold, how gambling can alter your brain chemistry, and the common-sense solutions that he urges to be implemented immediately.
