ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Comedian Michael Regilio, host of Regilio v Everything, joins Lou to talk about being dumb, young, and punk (which for Michael meant being a young Republican in high school), Trump's executive order on flag burning, and the time Lou got canceled in Dallas.

We also get into the Dumb Punks of Little Neck, Queens, why you can't be offended by a show you didn't attend, Michael's new special with Jack Vaughn, Lou's sketch "Don't Make Me Defend Trump," the FCC, CBS, and Stephen Colbert, defunding NPR and PBS, AI and self-driving trucks, NASA's carbon-monitoring satellite shutdown, prepping and sourdough, and where Lou still finds hope.
