Ifs, Ands, and Butts w. Samantha Irby

And Just Like That writer and producer Samantha Irby joins to discuss the final season, the internet backlash, and what she really thinks about Aidan. Erin and Alyssa also dish on Pete Hegseth's praises for his bigoted pastor, Donald Trump’s messy takeover of DC’s police, and how school choice is ruining education funding in Arizona. They wrap with a scathing roast of Katie Miller’s ridiculous new podcast for conservative moms.
