Desi Lydic tackles the latest headlines: A judge releases Jeffrey Epstein's purported suicide note; Republicans pledge midterm loyalty to Trump and his 80-year-old fighting skills; and for Mother’s Day, Trump gifts moms an autocorrect rant. Also, Troy Iwata, Jordan Klepper, and Michael Kosta face off over who could take Trump in a fight. Josh Johnson digs into a viral JPMorgan sexual-harassment lawsuit, where a male employee accused a female colleague of coercing him into a “sex slave arrangement”, setting off a frenzy of sexist memes and sensational coverage before the claims reportedly fell apart under scrutiny. Award-winning actor Adam Scott joins Desi to talk horror-comedy in his new film, Hokum, plus how Step Brothers shaped his comedy path, his dramatic turns in Big Little Lies and Severance, and playing an arsehole after being typecast as the likable guy.
