S31E49: April 22, 2026FBI Director Kash Patel’s job might be like his drinks: on the rocks. As oil prices soar and Trump shows no sign of ending the war with Iran or opening the Strait of Hormuz, Michael Kosta gives the president an Earth Day shoutout for showing what happens when you don’t invest in renewable resources. With the 2026 midterms nearing, Ronny Chieng digs into the record number of D-list celebrities and "influencer" freaks running for office, including reality TV bad boy Spencer Pratt, former “Teen Mom” star Farrah Abraham, and manosphere anti-semite Dan Bilzerian. Five-time Grand Slam champ, investor, and bestselling author Maria Sharapova joins Michael to talk about her new Vox Media podcast, “Pretty Tough”, bringing that mindset into candid conversations with high-achieving women, making more room for women in podcasting, learning from Grand Slam losses, and her advice to rising players: trust your instincts and “don’t miss”.
