Ryan Long is a comedian, writer, and filmmaker.

The world feels like a comedy goldmine right now. From the upcoming election and DEI backlash to bizarre trends like Japanese and Indian fetish porn, P Diddy conspiracy theories, Hawk Tuah memes and Florida men doing Florida man things, obviously we need an expert like Ryan to help make sense of everything.

Expect to learn why companies that embraced DEI are rolling back their support, the hottest Google search trends when you type in “my husband wants (blank)“, Japanese men’s recent obsession with tickle porn, Ryan's thought on Kamala and Trump making the rounds on podcasts and much more...

•

76m

Krystal Ball is the co host of Breaking Points, a political commentator and a podcaster.

Politics has changed a lot over the last 4 years, and even more compared to a decade ago. And yet everything feels unreal, kind of like a pantomime. So, do elections even matter any more?

Expect to learn if breaking stories have any real impact, whether Elon Musk is even influential in this election cycle, if Kamala is a change candidate or have incumbent legitimacy, the role of podcasts in deciding the future of America, if the polls are underestimating Trump, how the left has a complicated relationship with God and much more...
