Lovett is in the air for this this Valentine’s Day special episode!

439: The Kennedy Center Will Not Hold

Feb 7th, 2026 8:00 AM

Trump says we should smile more and talk less about the Epstein files, which is not going so well for him. In a barnburner of an episode, Lisa Rinna takes the Lovett or Leave It stage to take us behind the scenes of Traitors - and explain what happens when the inner Housewife is released. Then Rachel Bloom is back and we fall in love all over again. And we wrap it all up with a few second thoughts that are second to none.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

438: Minnesota Breaks the ICE

Jan 31st, 2026 8:00 AM

Lovett brings the hot dish straight from Minnesota’s ICE protestors, Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem freeze in place, and the Trump administration is caught off guard by the bravery of nice people. This week, Andy Richter and Vic Michaelis join Lovett for a few rounds of Interview Roulette, and lend some constrictive criticism to Kristi Noem, the Melania movie, and one very fat, damp coyote. And we end with some Second Thoughts for our number one guy.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

437: Greenland New Deal

Jan 24th, 2026 8:00 AM

This week, Trump plays chicken with Europe and lays a big ol’ goose egg, Minnesotans dish it out hot while ICE agents freeze, and JD Vance brings his trademark mid to the Midwest. Kevin Nealon tells it like it is, and then apologizes immediately after.

436: Nobel Peace Prize, Gently Used

Jan 17th, 2026 8:00 AM

The Federal Reserve chair is forced to get less reserved, and Greenland gives America the red light. Robin Thede picks the ultimate rom-com bestie, while Michael Urie and Ted McGinley of Shrinking talk about acting with animals, babies, and Harrison Ford.  And we end the show with Lovett and our three fabulous guests expressing a few very recent second thoughts. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
