Michael Kosta digs into the latest D.C. headlines: Trump’s teleprompter operator allegedly made $100K by betting on what the president would say in his speeches, Pete Hegseth is rolling out testosterone tests for America's warriors, and JD Vance gives a whole new meaning to “helicopter parent.” Plus, the VP seems a little too excited about the way Joe Biden eats ice cream. In another edition of Sports War, Desi Lydic and Michael Kosta butt heads over the biggest headlines from the FIFA Men's World Cup: Spain's Lamine Yamal faces off against an Argentina player who once bathed him, a Norway fan refuses to row along with others, and Senegal's team doctor turns out to be a team gynecologist. Actor and producer Jake Johnson sits down with Michael to discuss his new Apple TV comedy film, “The Dink.” They talk about learning the language of tennis and its obsession with legs, coming up in improv with a hunger to work as an actor, giving ridiculous and impractical advice on his podcast “We’re Here to Help,” and the joy of raising his daughters… even if they’re Dodgers fans. -- New customers can save 35% on your first month of subscription by going to https://dosedaily.co/TDS [https://dosedaily.co/TDS] or entering TDS at checkout.

America Gets Diarrhea, CDC Has No Money to Help & Iran War Budget Explodes | Molly Shannon

An explosive diarrhea parasite called cyclospora sweeps the nation and premieres on TikTok, Taco Bell prematurely signals responsibility for the spread, America's original budget for the Iran War practically triples, and Michael Kosta highlights the connection between government funding for forever wars and the country's outbreak of forever diarrhea. The Supreme Court recently reaffirmed the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship in a 6-3 ruling, but John Leguizamo is wondering: How was this not a clean sweep? Leguizamo examines the right-wing freakout over the court's decision, from xenophobic fever dreams about pregnant foreigners invading the U.S. to boilerplate conspiracy theories about election plots, in another edition of In My Opinion. Michael sits down with comedy legend and Emmy-nominated actor Molly Shannon to discuss her new Netflix series, “The Hawk.” They get into her close-knit relationship with co-star Will Ferrell, how a traumatic childhood car crash informed her reckless style of physical comedy, and all the odd jobs she had before landing “Saturday Night Live.” Plus, Kosta shares what he took away from Shannon’s powerful memoir and asks what advice she has for young people. -- New customers can save 35% on your first month of subscription by going to https://dosedaily.co/TDS [https://dosedaily.co/TDS] or entering TDS at checkout.

Trump's IndyCar Race, Lindsey Graham's Sis Successor & Toll War in Hormuz Strait | Beth Kobliner

Michael Kosta dives into Trump’s busy schedule: hosting an IndyCar event, providing a totally legit medical explanation for how part of Lindsey Graham “blew up,” and reigniting the war in Iran over tolls for the Strait of Hormuz. Plus, Graham’s successor is confirmed, and although she's his sister, she might be America's most qualified senator. The Daily Show counts down the greatest moments in America's 250-year history, from the Declaration of Independence to winning World War II to the time Lenny Kravitz's d**k fell out on stage and changed American history forever. Financial literacy expert and author Beth Kobliner joins Michael to discuss her New York Times bestseller, now in its 5th edition, “Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties." They talk about only half the country requiring high schools to teach personal finance, despite the programs fostering the financial literacy needed to improve credit scores and manage debt. Kobliner effortlessly explains high-yield savings accounts and investing, why retirement accounts should be renamed “super smart investment accounts,” and how getting your finances together is easier than banks and investment companies want you to think. Plus, Kosta asks questions from “broke Daily Show staff” like whether robbing a bank is a viable retirement strategy and whether Gen Z will ever own a home. -- New customers can save 35% on your first month of subscription by going to https://dosedaily.co/TDS [https://dosedaily.co/TDS] or entering TDS at checkout.

Jon Stewart on Lindsey Graham's Death & America's Geriatric Political Class | Christopher Nolan

Senator Lindsey Graham’s sudden death prompts Jon Stewart to dive into the gerontocracy problem in Washington, D.C., Trump’s backhanded tribute to his deceased “friend,” the bucket list that Graham never got to complete, and how Mitch McConnell somehow managed to outlive his colleague from South Carolina. Oscar-winning director, writer, and producer Christopher Nolan sits down with Jon to discuss his new film, "The Odyssey." They talk about "Oppenheimer" paving the way for "The Odyssey" to be made, Nolan's process of constructing movies through diagrams and structures, his embrace of the fantastical while showing respect to the film's source material, and finishing ahead of schedule despite filming with an IMAX camera in three-minute increments. -- CarShield is offering our listeners 20% off with the code TDS at https://CarShield.com/TDS [https://carshield.com/TDS] New customers can save 35% on your first month of subscription by going to https://dosedaily.co/TDS [https://dosedaily.co/TDS] or entering TDS at checkout. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
