Kristen and Harrison open by discussing clips from the Kevin Hart roast that feel racist, praising Sheryl Underwood for calling out Shane Gillis and criticizing Hart’s past comments about gender roles and child abuse. They debate whether to keep watching Euphoria, arguing season three leans into shock value and meta far-right attention tactics, and pivot to praising Hacks casting and discussing Megan Stalter’s queer Christian faith and whether institutions like religion and sports should be reformed or “burned down” and rebuilt. Kristen recounts attending the Golden State Valkyries home opener, jokingly validated by a Sheila E. drum-heavy halftime show, and they discuss the Michael Jackson biopic, rebranding by his estate, and celebrity “problematic” legacies. The episode ends on the Supreme Court weakening parts of the Voting Rights Act, gerrymandering in Memphis, Virginia Democrats’ court strategy, D.L. Hughley urging Black athletes to avoid anti-voting-rights states, WNBA player fandom, and a QT-of-the-week nod to Sally Field supporting her gay son.
