    Ye Olde Abortion Ban

    Ye Olde Abortion Ban

    Lovett or Leave It dims the lights and slips into something more comfortable for a late show at LA's Lyric Hyperion! Paula Poundstone joins for What A Week to help us process a hideous abortion ban and a gay bug fungus. Hari Kondabolu stops by to put the petty in pet peeves, and James III shares his appreciation for cinematic masterpiece Bad Boys II in a round of Ok, Stop. And we could keep going! We're not even sleepy!

    What a Weekday: 2 Canceled 2 Debt

    It’s the day after the eclipse, and boy, are our retinas tired! The world’s biggest liar is at it again, this time pretending he wouldn’t sign a national abortion ban with the thickest Sharpie he owns. President Biden finds a kinky new way to forgive student debt, the Rock finds the loudest possible way to say nothing, and all of us find out together how much $30 million weighs.

    What a Weekday: Trump on the Cross/Nasdaq

    What a Weekday: Trump on the Cross/Nasdaq

    Lovett or Leave It was disappointed not to be chosen as RFK Jr.’s running mate today, but don’t worry, we’ll still be voting for him come November. Meanwhile, Ronna McDaniel’s gets the best of both worlds: being on TV and everyone hating you. Donald Trump compares himself to Jesus, and not just because of those washboard abs. Rudy Giuliani screams across the void from his nightmare world, and producer Kendra has us doing quad axels with her knowledge of, and love for, the world’s most slippery spins.

    Tower to the People

    Lovett or Leave It is back and this time, it’s personal. Minnie Driver answers our most massive questions. Jenny Yang unearths nightmarish 90s artifacts. Rabbi Sharon Brous talks about empathy, isolation, and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. D’Arcy Carden dares you to answer the question, “Was she in this?” And the gang convenes once more to figure out what to do with the additional hour of sunlight that just fell in our laps.

We’re switching to Love Love it or Leave It

We’re not using the other podcasts anymore.

STOP with what a weekday nonsense

Please stop putting What A Day in this feed. If I wanted to listen to that podcast, I’d subscribe—but I don’t and I didn’t. Keep it Lovett or Leave It only and my rating will go back up.

It’s gotten uncomfortable

The talent has left. The writers seem to really dislike their boss. Guests and people of color are constantly made uncomfortable. I miss Producer Brian. This podcast hasn’t made me laugh in a while.
