| 10/14/26 |  Drunk Debating | Mary Katharine Ham and Vic Matus talk about Halloween, novice drivers, and cover debate clips, good, bad, and drunk! They talk about the debut of the new White House Press Secretary, Kimberley Guilfoyle's troubles and resignation. Talarico goes missing from the trail, which the media doesn't care about, but then a bunch of independent "journalists" on the right fabricate a story about his absence. No one can be trusted! Finally, Kelly Clarkson vs. animatronic bird store in Brooklyn. This episode is sponsored by XX-XY Athletics. Shop at http://xx-xyathletics.com/hammered and use code HAMMERED for 20% off!

| 10/7/26 | The Plague Year and The Wave Year? | Mary Katharine Ham and Vic Matus talk about the plague in Russia, the rioting in France, the spying in Germany, and the IRGC's midterm election message for Americans. They also cover a strangely close race in Minnesota, thanks to a strong campaign from Michelle Tafoya and an anti-incumbent feeling about all the fraud her opponent Peggy Flanagan oversaw. Plus, Peggy Flanagan cuts a weird ad and Angela Paxton might have cut a weirder one! They check them out. And finally, a miracle flight saved from disaster near the anniversary of Oct. 7 and some bad news about the DSA and Mamdani's plan to combat anti-Semitism. There are two big Getting Hammered announcements you'll want to stay tuned for. This episode is sponsored by XX-XY Athletics.

| 9/30/26 | Midterm Mediocrities Walk Into a Lesbian Bar | Vic Matus and Mary Katharine Ham talk about the many possible scenarios for the midterms, the freak-outs, the polls and panic, the money and the maps. They cover a foiled terror plot in Briton and spotlight a TV host's epic rant on it.
