Adam Schiff was elected to Congress as part of the blowback against House Republicans after the Clinton impeachment saga in the late 1990s. Now he’s at the forefront of another spectacular political scandal enveloping Washington. Schiff, who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, has been a leading critic of the Trump administration. But that doesn’t mean he’s losing his cool now that the impeachment inquiry is officially underway. Schiff remains composed, pragmatic, and understated—which might be the best tactic for squaring off against the president.

In this episode, Rivers and Sam (Carter's off on assignment) sit down with comedian and star of Amazon Prime's 'Inside Jokes', M.K. Paulsen to talk about a wide variety of issues including Jim Carrey and Andy Kaufman, the Barefoot Contessa, Rivers' garden, and Sam and M.K.'s early comedy days in Texas. When they finally do get down to business, it's all about the phenomenon of the fad diet. M.K. tells us about doing intermitant fasting which seems pretty normal but then we talk about some of the most ridiculous diets ever including "Fletcherizing". It's bananas. Follow M.K. on all forms of social media @MKPaulsen and listen to his podcast "Roommates 4-Lyfe". Follow the show on Twitter @TheGoodsPod.

Karl Marx once called religion the opium of the people—an imaginary coping mechanism that makes suffering in this world more bearable. His vision was a secular, atheistic one. But my guest today argues Marx’s vision was still intensely spiritual. In fact, he says Marx hijacked key themes from Christianity to create a false religion. Today, Bruce Ashford, dean and provost of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, joins the podcast.
