What happens in S31E121?
With less than a week until the 2026 midterms, Republicans are still finding new ways to stumble, including Tennessee congressional candidate Brent Taylor’s dick-pic scandal, which Jordan Klepper notes was less a youthful indiscretion than a middle-aged one. Klepper also covers Trump’s ongoing self-promotion tour and the DOJ’s effort to challenge Alaska’s Senate race certification if the Republican Dan Sullivan loses. In "In My Opinion", Lenard McKelvey (aka "Charlamagne Tha God") takes on the race to prove who’s manlier, from boba-tea attacks on Troy Jackson to gym-heavy campaign ads, arguing that real manhood comes down to character. Later, musician, artist, and author David Byrne joins Klepper to discuss his book "Sleeping Beauties: Why Good Ideas Go Dormant and How They Wake Up", exploring overlooked geniuses, society’s habit of ignoring past wisdom, his research process, and the inspiration behind his song “Let Me Sell You A Dream” for the documentary "Musk".
