Shownotes Transcript

Jordan Klepper covers Trump’s anti-DEI fallout, including the Pentagon’s erasure of Jackie Robinson and The Enola Gay. Plus, Troy Iwata joins the Republicans' campaign to revive Tesla stock and keep Elon Musk rich.

With many Americans preparing for doomsday, the apocalypse has become good business. Michael Kosta visits Fortitude Ranch, a post-apocalyptic survival community where preppers can wait out the end times in country-club glamour with their own rooms, artillery, and food supplies…for a hefty amount of cash.

Legendary musician, artist, and New York Times best-selling author Peter Wolf joins Jordan Klepper to talk about his new memoir, “Waiting on the Moon.” The former J. Geils Band frontman recounts the era in which he wrote their album “Full House,” and how he strived to write a “not-boring” memoir by sharing vignettes about the people he idolized. Plus, he tells some stories from the book, including when he drank Bob Dylan’s wine and the time Muddy Waters became his houseguest.
