Schmitt for Brains

In This Episode

It’s a full Schmitt show for Republicans in Congress this week, with Jack Smith cheering from the sidelines. Meanwhile, Trump launches a government chatbot, and OpenAI frantically shuts theirs down. On the show, Heather and Terry Dubrow talk fame, fortune and facelifts, before putting the one healthy marriage on reality TV to the test. Lovett grills Laura Benanti on Elsbeth, Patti LuPone and the erotic power of Brandi Carlile. The Rant Wheel spins us through loud talkers, lifeguards in sweatshirts, and bringing iced coffee to interviews, before Second Thoughts takes us home.
