The Gist - Funny You Should Mention: Dusty Slay
Dusty Slay drops by with "Wet Heat" fresh on Netflix to talk Opelika lore (a.k.a. Snopalika), becoming parade Grand Marshal, and how a onetime pesticide salesman turned country-music linguist builds jokes from tiny word quirks. We get into his love of language (Carlin vibes), song-lyric autopsies ("It's Five O'Clock Somewhere," Brooks & Dunn's "Hard Workin' Man"), the origin of "We're having a good time," Comedy Cellar war stories, Opry nights, accent drift, trailer-park childhood, and why he's plotting an ASMR sleep-comedy album. Also: milk, hand-washing, and the eternal mystery of gas stations named "Kum & Go."

The Bulwark Podcast - Jessica Tarlov: Republicans Are in the Barrel
Our economy may be in the early days of stagflation, Democrats are winning the shutdown fight, and Republicans aren't getting help from the tariff king—who is just sticking his fingers in his ears and lying about the price of Thanksgiving dinner going down. Maybe it's time for the Dems to declare victory and let them reopen the government. Plus, Jeanine Pirro's complete humiliation over the sandwich guy case, and Rep. Jared Golden's retirement is a bracing reminder that Democrats must keep recruiting moderate candidates who can win in red districts.
Jessica Tarlov joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.

Federalist Radio Hour - The Dark Truth Behind Animal Welfare Groups’ Radical Spending
On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, Jack Hubbard, executive director at the Center for the Environment & Welfare, joins Federalist Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to discuss how the spending of organizations such as American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) reckons with the high number of animal euthanizations across the U.S. Hubbard also shares how these organization's lobbying efforts hurt the family farming industry and Americans hoping to buy affordable food.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Don’t Eat That Friday-Night Brisket!
The freakout online at the suggestion that maybe Gentiles working at the Heritage Foundation might want to eat a Shabbat dinner at the home of a Jewish person really gave the game away this week–and not in a good way. Is this a game that Jews should even attempt to play? And is there really any way for conservatives to "educate" or "coopt" those who have such hostility toward the Jewish people? Give a listen.

The Daily - Trump’s Bad Week
Over the past few days, Republicans have suffered some major losses at the ballot box, Supreme Court justices have expressed skepticism about tariffs and Congress’s refusal to end the government shutdown will result in thousands of canceled flights. It adds up to a very bad week for the Trump White House.
In a special round-table episode, The Times’s national political correspondent Lisa Lerer, the White House correspondent Tyler Pager and the congressional editor Julie Davis try to make sense of it all.
Guests:
- Julie Hirschfeld Davis, congressional editor at The New York Times.
- Lisa Lerer, a national political correspondent for The New York Times.
- Tyler Pager, a White House correspondent for The New York Times, covering President Trump and his administration.
Background reading:
Republicans point fingers after their losses, but not at Trump.
Here are five takeaways from the Supreme Court argument over tariffs.
As the hours dwindled before flight cuts, the government spent most of the time in silence.

Then, Rep. Jasmine Crockett sits down with Dan to talk about a potential Senate run in Texas, and why Trump just can't stop talking about her.

We test whether a hair in your hummus is truly hazardous, compare bacterial counts on hair shafts vs. feathers, and trace America's hairnet obsession back to Edward Bernays' spin. We play: Is That BS? Hair/Feather Edition. Also: Seattle mayoral race updates, and in the Spiel: the Philadelphia Art Museum's chunky griffin rebrand, the PHAM backlash, and why the director got bounced.
