[ download ] [ transcript ] 

Joshua Malina and Hrishikesh Hirway (collectively, “The Hosts”) have been served a subpoena to appear on this episode of the podcast, to testify in regards to the above television episode. Pursuant to this agreement, you (“Listener”) are required to listen to our nonsense. Failure to do so may result in missing out on some dumb thing that gets called back later, like a reference to a 2004 movie about dance battles.

7.01: The Ticket

[ download ] [ transcript ] 

It’s the Season 7 premiere! Which begins, naturally, with a scene from the Season 10 premiere! Suspense hovers over this episode, like a space station in need of maintenance—or a baker about to be sent home from the tent—as Josh and Hrishi sort through both the wise and foolish acts of our heroes.

CORRECTION: I got a thing wrong in this episode: I forgot that Leo didn't know about the MS during the campaign. I was thinking about how when Leo was told, he didn’t push to disclose the information immediately. Anyway, getting rusty. My bad. — Hrishi
