037: The Rise of Erika Kirk

Jared and Mike detailed what they know about Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk who has emerged as an overnight celebrity in MAGA-land. From Erika’s start as a beauty pageant competitor to her fondness for “submitting” to her husband, she has always been a Christian influencer — priming her for this moment in the spotlight. The guys also discuss other mutations that popped out in the aftermath of Kirk’s assassination, including AI-generated memorials, fantasies about sending tanks into The New York Times building, and David, the commander of “soldiers,” who stood up and cheered after the shooting took place.

Mike’s album recommendation: Stereolab, Dots and Loops, 1997
