Getting Hammered - The Update Show

Remember when Netflix imploded over Dave Chappelle's comedy skits? Or when Hillary Clinton approved the peddling of a false report that led to the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theory? What about that National School Board Association's letter asking the Justice Department to sic federal investigators on parents at school board meetings? In today's episode, Mary Katharine and Vic give an update of some of this year's top stories.

Getting Hammered - Swing and a Mis(information)

The Department of Homeland Security paused its misinformation board after videos surface of Nina Jankowicz, the woman they tapped to lead the group, discussing topics she believed were misinformation—like the Hunter Biden laptop story. Netflix tells woke employees to kick rocks if they can't work on content with which they disagree, the New York Times gives us a great "So It Can Be Told" segment, and Mary Katharine gives a shoutout to a heroic dog.

Getting Hammered - Bottle Half Full

While baby formula supplies grow scarce, and the White House isn't quite sure what to do about it, Mary Katharine and Vic are still looking at the bottle half full (for now). White House press secretary Jen Psaki encourages protests targeting Supreme Court Justices, Whoopi Goldberg says Trump should be back on Twitter, and rising tides on the shores of Lake Mead may reveal the Las Vegas mob's secrets.

Getting Hammered - House Call

Supreme Court Justices who voted in favor of abortion restrictions get a house call they didn’t ask for from dozens of rowdy pro-choice protestors. While the Boston’s mask mandate dropped two months ago, Boston Public Schools continues to require students to mask up. An update on Ukraine, and Alabama murderer manhunt draws to a close, and Mary Katharine gets a funny "fact check."
