Welcome to a Vince-free podcast, Matt and Brendan have been saving up all their jokes for just such an occasion. Comedian Grant Gordon joins us to discuss woke Superman and an absolutely psychotic Hasbara response, a city councilman with a true poster’s heart, and Goldfinger (the band, not the movie…whaddaya think this is a movie podcast or something??).

But first! After years of campaigning on releasing the Epstein Files, Donald Trump is backing Pam Bondi in saying that there’s nothing to see here and we should all just move on. In true Trump fashion, he’s doing it in a way (rage-posting on Truth Social) that is only going to draw more attention and ask more questions about why he’s so upset. If there were ever a time to envision ol’ Donny not wriggling his way out of this one, this could be it. According to our fearless leader, the files don’t exist, and also do exist but are fake and were written by Obama and Biden and Rosie O’Donnell or something. A real Schrodinger’s CP stash.

We save the Superman talk for when Vince gets back, but Matt couldn’t resist reading a unabomber manifesto-level screed about how the new Superman movie is antisemitic and calling for the complete elimination of the state of Israel. Others said it was cool when the alien in underwear used his laser beam eyes, so reviews have been mixed to say the least.

Finally, we listen to the greatest hits of Eric Mays, a former Flint city councilman and one of the world’s great IRL trolls. If nothing else, this should brighten your day and give you the chance to hit your partner with a NO IM NOT PLAYIN ON MY PHONE IM TAKIN CARE OF BUSINESS the next time they hassle you for playing Wordle during Real Housewives.
