Vivek's October Surprise: Being Disgusting

About this episode

JD Vance paints Trump as a saint, while Vivek Ramaswamy goes as low as humanly possible to save his flailing campaign in Ohio. This week, LA mayoral candidate Nithya Raman joins to talk about her race against Mayor Karen Bass, and the alluring myths and legends of Los Angeles. Then Brennan Lee Mulligan aligns himself with the nerds and bards of Dungeons & Dragons. The Rant Wheel has us spinning about mosquitos, putting people on the spot, and wedding speeches. And our Second Thoughts are second to none. Hate listening to ads?
