You are not going to want to miss this hilariously insightful commentary on the latest news, and be sure to stick around until the end to hear our brand new segment, The Worst Person in the World Not Named Donald Trump, to see who wins the award this week.

You’ll hear Chip and Tom’s take on Hunter’s Biden’s trial, and get their personal reactions to Trump’s 34 felony convictions. “I happened to have a moment in front of the TV,” said Tom. “And so to get the information in real time, that felt good. I'm sure I'm never going to forget it. It was a good feeling.”

Our hosts also break down the misdirection and irony that is both at the heart of comedy and Trumpworld’s response to the convictions, particularly with Hunter Biden’s trial starting this week.

“When they say the case against Trump was unjust they talk about two things: the judge and the venue,” said Chip. “Sure, Judge Mershawn gave $15 to Joe Biden's campaign. But Donald Trump has Judge Cannon and two members of the Supreme court who openly back him and backed January 6th. When they complain about the venue I have to laugh because, to me, New Yorkers are the least impressed by either party.”

Tom also shares the story of his role in Michael Cohen’s humbling but harrowing journey from a groveling fixer for Trump to a star witness for the prosecution that landed the 34 felony convictions.

Will these convictions guarantee defeat for Trump? What will this mean for MAGA in the polls, and how will this impact the rest of the Presidential campaign?

In this awesome episode, you’ll hear Chip and Tom’s answer to these questions, hear bold predictions for what Trump’s sentencing might look like, and get a hilarious rundown of Donald's most recent bizarre antics and statements. And to top it all off, our hosts talk about the latest WNBA news and Caitlin Clark’s rapid rise from college star to the pro’s.
