What a weekend. The coconuts are falling, the head of the Secret Service is leaving, and Kris Kristopherson is living. Let’s G🥥!

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 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.

Like George Carlin on lots of caffeine slicing and dicing today's politics

Lovett is genuinely funny, creative, and can draw blood. His intensity and edge would only go so far if he didn't have the insider cred, earned through his past work and his relationships. The show is constantly evolving and it's not a consistent 5 yet, but that is because he takes risks, creates it on the fly with new guests, and sometimes nails a 10 with a degree of difficulty 2.6, the low points are more than balanced out. I'm going with a five.

Lovett and friends rant

There are only two episodes so far and kinks are still being worked out. Amusing enough to keep giving it a listen.

Funny enough.

Jun 28, 2017 by NH Grace

Only one episode so far, but funny enough I'll try it again. I'll see if they can get me to a 5.
