Trump crashes out over his helipad, Seth Mouton goes low in Massachusetts, and a Republican Congressman falls in love with being creepy as hell. This week, we have a an absolutely stacked show! Adam Conover goes toe-to-toe with Claude. Sarah Tiana gives us the 411 on 1001 sports controversies, and Dan Taberski helps Lovett craft the perfect manifesto. And we'll add that to our list as we flip through a library full of Second Thoughts.
