946 - Day of the Z feat. Alan Siegel (6/26/25)
🕑 Added 2025-06-27 06:30:01 +0000 UTCWill & Felix catch up on Zohran Mamdani’s stunning victory in the NYC Democratic primary for mayor. We look at how the campaign was so successful, Andrew Cuomo’s manifest failure running against him, and the explosion of hilarious and psychotic negative reactions from various segments of the political & media world. Then, we’re joined by Alan Siegel, author of the new book Stupid TV, Be More Funny to discuss how the golden age of The Simpsons changed television and created the greatest achievement in American culture of all time.

The Santana album was called "Supernatural" bc they took turns playing Resident Evil in the studio. This is a true fact stated.

You find self deprecation annoying, yet insist on having Adam Friedland on the show atleast once a year. Fascinating.

Very appropriate guest for CTH's Season 9 Simpsons-esque abrupt collapse in quality, as it tries to make up for association with various disgraced celebrities by hitting the cheap joke button harder
