Our season finale is about the vital role public media plays in the lives of many Americans, how the Trump Administration’s budget cuts could impact those Americans directly, and one small way we’re trying to make a difference. And yes, of course, there is a bidet involved.

Our season finale is tonight at 11pm on HBO Max/11:12pm on HBO!! And when we’re back in February? It may feel like we’ve been away for years! But keep in mind, that’s mostly because John is aging at an extreme pace. Months read like years on his face. It’s startling. Even to us.

Almost 10 years to the day after we begged to get rid of it, the final penny has been pressed by the U.S. mint. Farewell, penny! We're sure Americans will find something else to put in our pockets and up our asses soon enough. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tys...

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 details what Medicare Advantage is, why it basically has all the pitfalls of private insurance, and what a Mountain Chicken is. And if you don’t already know what a Mountain Chicken is, go ahead and visualize a “Mountain Chicken” in your head now. Great. It’s not that.

We’re back with a new show tonight at 11:02pm! Airing right after The Chair Company. Come for the guy yelling about chair companies, stay for the other guy yelling about chairs OF companies. Haha! But seriously, we hope you know that when John’s yelling he isn’t mad at you.

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.
