About this episode

The episode discusses various topics including Iran's negotiations, voting, and features guests Tig Notaro and Aparna Nancherla sharing their insights on comedy and personal experiences.

Iran leaves the negotiating table, voters enter the polls, and Graham Platner slides into America’s DMs, for better or for worse. Meanwhile, Tig Notaro weighs in on Lovett’s wedding, RFK Jr’s snake handling, and the dawn of Slam Pig Summer. Aparna Nancherla talks anxiety, stand-up and getting your foot in the door at WikiFeet, and we look back (in horror!) with a round of Second Thoughts.
