Lovett or Leave It

In honor of our independence and courtesy of our beloved Friends of the Pod, we present some of the best rants from guests who went off louder than a firework ever could. Lettuce between cheese and meat. Turning 40 with drunken grace. Edging superheroes. It’s all here, so sit back, crack open a cold one, and drink in the sweet, unhinged musings of Luenell, Vanessa Bayer, TS Madison, Ms. Pat, Mitra Jouhari, and the golden boy himself. And while you’re sitting there reminiscing with rants of yore, remember… this is why our forefathers fought. This… is America.

Trump gives Iran and Israel a stern talking to, Pete Hegseth calls for a journalistic 23AndMe, and Zohran Mamdani ushers in the Great Libbing Out of 2025. On the show, John Leguizamo gets fired up, Anthony Carrigan and Aristotle Athari offer some good guesses about some very bad boys, and we all let freedom ring in honor of Independence Day, which required Lovett to explain Jar Jar Binks’ whole deal? Anyway, Happy Fourth of July, and see you in a few weeks! Upcoming shows: crooked.com/events For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here [https://youtu.be/T2guA0n01tU].

This week, Donald Trump sends National Guard troops to Los Angeles to chase their dreams, JD Vance bros out about musicals, and Kristi Noem tells us to reject the evidence of our eyes and ears. Parvati Shallow and Courtney Act dive into the deep end and also the less-deep end, before we spin the wheel of villains who were actually really cool in a scene that got cut, probably.

The girls are fighting! Happy Pride. This week, Donald Trump and Elon Musk catfight over who’s keeping the edgelords in the divorce.
