Rehoboth Beach Commissioner Suzanne Goode dropped 10 voicemail messages on her city manager in the span of 24 hours demanding that he edit or unpublish an official public meeting from their YouTube account. Why? Because another commissioner publicly shamed her for being toxic and abusive toward fellow commissioners and staff at a subcommittee meeting to discuss a Civility in the Workplace policy after she was outed for suggesting the city manager was they mayor's whore. In these voicemail messages, which we share with you to listen for yourself, Goode argues she was slandered and defamed and suggests she may sue. That is -- when she is not getting cut off by the recording a la Jon Favreau's character in Swingers.

According to recent reporting by Taylor Lorenz in Wired, a secretive dark money group is funding influencers to post pro-Democratic Party messaging on social media services - paying them up to $8,000 per month to do so and holding them to a secretive contract that prevents them from even revealing their relationship to the organization Chorus, backed by the Sixteen Thirty Fund.Some of those named as affiliated with the program including Brian Tyler Cohen, Olivia Julianna, David Pakman and Pod Save America's Jon Favreau have posted uncannily similar response statements and videos attacking everything except the facts of the article. Kenneth Walden, behind the account 2RawTooReal, wasn't even listed in the article but posted an attack video saying “Apparently, we're not allowed to bash Democrats or actually give them any type of constructive criticism. However, I swear I be on damn Bernie Sanders' ass like flies on —.” The ironies abound, and the dismissals of the story have fallen flat.Democrats fully recognize that they need to appeal to young voters, those who are most influenced by social media.  According to Berkeley Political Review, “Biden won youth (ages 18 to 29) voters by 24 points [in 2020], but Harris only led Trump by 11 points [in 2024].” The damning statistics don't necessarily reflect that young people are actually getting more conservative, but likely that they're more aware of a corrupt system in which both parties promote more cops, defend genocide and send ICE after innocent people.Support the show

Today, we go back to where it all began with The Mandalorian Chapter 1... the premiere that launched Disney+ and redefined Star Wars for a new era. Before the MandoVerse expanded into spinoffs like The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and The Mandalorian Season 3, there was just one story: a lone bounty hunter navigating the galaxy far, far away. We're taking a trip down memory lane to revisit what made The Mandalorian's first episode so special — from Pedro Pascal's stoic performance as Din Djarin, to Jon Favreau's western-inspired storytelling, to Dave Filoni's direction that perfectly balanced mystery, action, and heart. And of course, we can't forget the iconic debut of Grogu (Baby Yoda), a moment that instantly became a cultural phenomenon. Looking back, it's striking how fresh and focused the series felt at the start, before Disney+ leaned fully into interconnected spinoffs and the larger “MandoVerse.” This discussion isn't just a review of The Mandalorian Chapter 1, but also a reflection on what it meant for Star Wars in 2019, a time when fans were optimistic and the future of Star Wars TV felt wide open post-The Rise of Skywalker.

Pete Buttigieg—former South Bend mayor, 2020 presidential candidate, and Transportation Secretary—sits down with Jon Favreau to discuss how much of the status quo Democrats should aim to restore (if any) if they win in 2026, what the party needs to change to effectively message around Trump's broken promises, and what Pete thinks of JD Vance's rapid ascent to power—and the values he's abandoned along the way. Then, Lovett joins Jon to answer listener questions about building a Democratic Project 2029, our nation's new gerrymandering war, and whether Barack Obama is right about ketchup's place on a burger.

In an episode inspired by a game review code we received, Andrew returns alongside Ben, who's been buying a single movie multiple times for SOME reason. Ben has given up on “Sucky Assassin's Creed” for now, but he sees promise in an “FRPG” game he's been playing recently. Andrew has been doing something incredibly constructive with his pent-up frustration from the consistent misrepresentation of autism by the Department of Health and Human Services; he's also been working on constructing a companion deck of cards for his ADHD book. Next, they think about their oddly numerous and influential puppetry-related experiences in their lifetimes.

We made it, ya'll. One hundred days of President Donald Trump's second term down. Only 1,362 to go…. not that we're counting (we're definitely counting). While the White House is pushing the narrative that Trump's early days have been an unmitigated success, the American public clearly feels otherwise. A bunch of new polls show the president's approval rating hovering around 40 percent. He's also underwater on every issue respondents were asked about, from the economy to immigration. Jon Favreau, co-host of Pod Save America and founder of Crooked Media, stops by to help make sense of the 100-day wreckage and where we go from here.And in headlines: Spain and Portugal entered a second Dark Age amid a massive power outage, Virginia Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly announced his retirement, and Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a unilateral temporary ceasefire in May in honor of the Russian holiday Victory Day.Show Notes:Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Roy Choi is a legend in LA. He was one of the first chefs to start cooking out of a food truck, and one of the first to mashup different cuisines in the way that's become so popular. His Kogi korean beef taco truck was a sensation in LA when he debuted it in 2008 -- it later inspired the movie “Chef,” starring Jon Favreau. Roy wrote a bestselling cookbook and memoir, LA Son, in 2013, and now he has a new cookbook, The Choi of Cooking. In some ways, it may seem like Roy's success was preordained, like all this was destiny. But as you'll hear, for many years it wasn't clear he was going to survive, let alone thrive. The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Kameel Stanley, Jared O'Connell, and Giulia Leo.
