We’ve got a new show tonight at 11pm on HBO Max and 11:01pm on HBO! Important distinction to make. What if you turned on the TV and we weren’t there? We’re sure worse things have happened, we just haven’t experienced them.

This week’s main story is about police chases – the incredibly dangerous practice made famous by O.J. Simpson, and kept famous by Sheriff John Bunnell and Pluto TV’s 24-hour car chase channel. But, because we are fun, this segment is also about how drivers doing donuts is awesome. Full stop.

Here’s last night’s story about police chases, why the risks involved massively outweigh the benefits, and why people should be allowed to say “shit” on the news. We, as a nation, are well beyond the word “shit” destroying anyone’s innocence. Just…look around. youtu.be/wVFXUkFx5Y8

We’ve got a new show tonight at 11pm on HBO Max, and 11:20pm on HBO! 20 minutes late on cable because we’re airing right after the premiere of I Love LA, and they’re running late. Which is soooo LA. “Traffic was so bad” this, “I’m a movie star so I can show up whenever I want” that. Rude.

This week’s main story is about Paramount’s decision to name Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief of CBS News, the future of U.S. journalism, and why we think she shouldn’t describe her endeavors as “punk.” Bari, look at us: You are not punk. Joe Strummer would’ve hated your fancy Substack, Bari!

We’re back tonight at 11pm on HBO Max/11:10pm on HBO! And we’re off next week! So yes, John will spend his usual 14 days at the desk by himself, missing the studio audience. And the at-home audience! But the studio audience provides him with “human contact” or whatever he’s always begging for. Diva.
