America Gets Diarrhea, CDC Has No Money to Help & Iran War Budget Explodes | Molly Shannon

An explosive diarrhea parasite called cyclospora sweeps the nation and premieres on TikTok, Taco Bell prematurely signals responsibility for the spread, America's original budget for the Iran War practically triples, and Michael Kosta highlights the connection between government funding for forever wars and the country's outbreak of forever diarrhea. The Supreme Court recently reaffirmed the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship in a 6-3 ruling, but John Leguizamo is wondering: How was this not a clean sweep? Leguizamo examines the right-wing freakout over the court's decision, from xenophobic fever dreams about pregnant foreigners invading the U.S. to boilerplate conspiracy theories about election plots, in another edition of In My Opinion. Michael sits down with comedy legend and Emmy-nominated actor Molly Shannon to discuss her new Netflix series, “The Hawk.” They get into her close-knit relationship with co-star Will Ferrell, how a traumatic childhood car crash informed her reckless style of physical comedy, and all the odd jobs she had before landing “Saturday Night Live.” Plus, Kosta shares what he took away from Shannon’s powerful memoir and asks what advice she has for young people. -- New customers can save 35% on your first month of subscription by going to https://dosedaily.co/TDS or entering TDS at checkout.
