Topic: Chippendales

In a comparison of political entertainers, the hosts recalled Senator Marco Rubio's past as a member of a high school dance troupe described as a hybrid of the Village People and Chippendales. They argued that Rubio possesses superior comedic timing compared to Pete Buttigieg, citing his "small hands" jokes during the 2016 campaign. The discussion suggested that Rubio's showmanship was almost too effective, potentially undermining his credibility as a serious legislator.

A formal knighting ceremony is held for several high-level donors, including Molly Kincaid and Richard Harriman. The hosts discuss expanding the "Round Table" traditions to better include the growing number of "Dames," settling on a new celebratory theme of "Chippendales and Champagne."

The hosts discuss a trend of women making a specific "war hoop" or "woo" sound during award acceptances and sporting events. They question the cultural origin of this behavior, wondering if it began with Howard Dean or at Chippendales shows.
