Ted Danson | File N' Out Nov 19, 2025

Show notes

All the talk about Jeffrey Epstein seems to be getting to President Trump, who behaved in a disgusting way towards a female reporter on Air Force One. Perhaps he was cheered up today by welcoming Saudi Arabia’s leader to the White House and giving an hour-long speech at a McDonald’s convention. Emmy-winning actor and activist Ted Danson stars opposite his real-life wife Mary Steenburgen in a show that pokes fun at some of the inescapable indignities of growing older.

Newly-released emails show Jeffrey Epstein found Donald Trump to be the worst person he’d ever met, and the documents hint at a sexual exchange between Trump and someone named “Bubba.” Faced with the prospect of Republican lawmakers voting to release the DOJ’s files on Epstein, President Trump flipped his stance and posted “I don’t care!” to social media.
