Season 31 Episode 53: April 29, 2026 - Ali Siddiq

King Charles drops by Congress for open mic night, and Trump tries to out-tyrant His Majesty with yet another indictment of ex–FBI Director James Comey—this time for the “crime” of posting seashells that spell “8647”. Josh Johnson unpacks MAGA world’s feverish accusations, while Grace Kuhlenschmidt spots other treasonous beach messages. Islamophobia is having a moment, with public figures smearing Muslims as pork-fearing fanatics bent on world conquest; Muslim comedian Mo Amer has "notes". Then Ali Siddiq joins Josh to talk his NAACP Image Award-winning special, “My Two Sons”, staying in Houston, connecting with incarcerated people, protecting his independence, and leveling up from back rooms to sold-out arenas on his "Custom Fit" tour.
