Joseph Baena, Mackenyu Maeda & Hilary Duff?

April 7, 2026·1 hr 13 min·5 clips

Joseph Baena, Arnold Schwarzenegger's once-denied son, is now winning bodybuilding competitions naturally—but will he follow his dad's steroid path?

Sponsor copy runs the room here. Rula gets sold as therapy that works with insurance, and the hosts bend the lunch-money line into a New York aside before moving on. Then come the sheets. Coyuchi turns into a whole bedding daydream: natural fibers, no questionable chemicals, subtle sheen, nature colors, robes, calm, more calm. Powers That Be gets its promo too, with Peter Hamby promising context on politics, economics, media, who benefits, and what's at stake. Suddenly, it is seventy degrees. That is enough for Lindsey to conjure Quince linen shorts and an Italian crossback swimsuit. Sure, she's getting in the water. The ad turns into a tiny lifestyle sketch, all breathable spring pieces and strangers asking where everything came from. By the end, the actual show pokes back through. A half-heard bit about someone being twelve becomes a gripe about Twitter and fan sites celebrating every six months. Twelve is not an age. The joke is cranky, neat, and very online in the dumbest way. Then the closing gears start turning. Listeners get sent to 619-WHO-THEM for the Friday call-in show, Patreon for bonus episodes, Discord, commentary tracks, and audio only access. Katie and Eric get thanked. Timmy, the research and editorial assistant, heads toward Coachella weekend with a tidy goodbye. It is mostly connective tissue, but it still shows the house style: ads as improv fuel, little phrases repeated until they wobble, and business handled at a sprint.
