Episode 100 is HERE - and it went absolutely nothing like we planned.

What started as a chaotic YouTube live stream malfunction turned into the most unhinged, emotionally raw, funniest, and somehow deeply insightful episode in the history of The Line Has a Podcast. Jimmy, Promise, and Alyssa stumble through a broken intro, a pee break before the show even starts, and then quickly devolve into one of the most awkward yet hilarious live moments the show has ever produced - all before getting to a single news story.

When things finally settle, the crew covers a packed news slate: Kash Patel's seemingly inevitable exit from the FBI, the Obama x Zeran Mamdani event and what it means for left-wing politics, Zayn Malik punching Louis Tomlinson into a concussion (yes, really), the Hitler-Trump reincarnation theory, and a deep, nuanced discussion on cheating, consent, and rape culture that doesn't pull any punches. Also: Jada Pinkett Smith "humbling" Will Smith, why 62 million hits on a CSAM site should terrify everyone even if the number is wrong, and YouTube watch time vs. subscriber counts explained in a way that actually makes sense.

Promise also drops in to remind everyone to pre-order her book Gospel of Lies - available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and through your local bookstore. This book belongs in the religious section of every bookstore, and if you need more motivation to pre-order it, just do it out of contempt for religion. Jimmy pre-ordered two copies (one for Luthien). Take the hint.

This is episode 100. It's messy. It's real. It's exactly what this show has always been. Subscribe, leave a review, and join the Patreon at patreon.com/calltheline for the extended episode and bonus content.
