Show notes

Welcome to The Sour Lemon Special! Every week, we break down the most outrageous, corrupt, and downright awful behavior from the people in power—and this time, we've got a stacked lineup of contestants. Who will take home the title of this week's Sour Lemon? You decide!

Here are the nominees:

🍋 The 10 Democrats Who Voted to Censure Al Green – Bipartisan bravery at its finest: 10 Democrats who saw injustice and said, 'Eh, let's punish the guy calling it out instead.'

🍋 Pete Hegseth – Fox News' most enthusiastic history eraser, now proudly leading the war on pictures.

🍋 Gavin Newsom – California's slickest politician thought, 'Who would be a great first podcast guest? A guy who thinks my entire state is a communist wasteland.' Bold move, Gav.

🍋 Brian Glenn – The fashion cop of right-wing media, doubling down on his hard-hitting suit agenda while wearing whatever that is.

🍋 Markwayne Mullin – Oklahoma's finest geography expert, who thinks Canada is just North Dakota with a fancier mayor.

🍋 Karoline Leavitt – Living proof that you can fail upward as long as you yell 'fake news' loud enough.

🍋 Sean Duffy – Blames DEI for plane crashes but somehow still trusts pilots who were hired under it to fly him home. A man of principle… just not good ones.

Who deserves the title? Who was the absolute worst this week? Join Don and comedian, actress, and writer Yamaneika Saunders to break it all down!
