Food Delivery Apps
This week's main story is about food delivery apps. How they function, why they're not as profitable as you may think, and one thing about them that could definitely keep you from getting into heaven.
Lethal Injections
This week's main story is an update on lethal injections, who is supplying the government with the newest drugs used to carry out executions, why those drugs sales may violate drug laws, and what we think The Property Brothers do behind closed doors.

Public Libraries
This week's main story is about libraries, why so many books are being challenged, and how you really spell "Berenstain." Trust us, it's not how you think.
Opioid Settlements
This week's main story is about how governments are spending opioid settlements, why there's still time to make sure they're spent in better ways, and which invention is the greatest in human history. Undeniably, the greatest.
Corn
John Oliver discusses the financial and environmental impact of corn in the U.S., recent commencement ceremony mishaps, and the rise of the far-right AfD party in Germany.
Indian Elections
This week's main story is about the Indian elections, how to eat a mango, and what the exact opposite of a snake would look like.
Deep Sea Mining
This week's main story is about deep-sea mining, whether it's worth doing, and what John has in common with Henry Kissinger (unrelated, but still important to note).
Trump's Second Term
John Oliver discusses the plans for Donald Trump's second term, an interesting campaign choice from a conservative congressional candidate in Michigan, and the bakery that has very successfully turned John into a cake bear.
UK Elections
This week's main story is about the UK elections – who's running, who's recently stepped down, and why the Tories don't seem to have even one charismatic candidate. We don't have an answer for that last part, just plenty of proof that it's true.
Migrant Crime
John Oliver discusses the wave of conservatives claiming there is a wave of "migrant crime", covers highlights from the RNC, and encourages us all to make suggestions for next year's World Games.
The West Bank
John Oliver discusses how The West Bank settlements came to be, a rumor about J.D. Vance that we cannot prove is false, and whether or not Jake Tapper is Brat.
RFK Jr.
John Oliver discusses RFK Jr.'s potential to sway the 2024 U.S. presidential election, controversies at the Olympics, and Donald Trump's recent puzzling comments about Kamala Harris.
Hawai'i
This week's main story is about Hawaii, the various groups making it harder and harder to live there, and why we all have to stop mailing them rocks. Seriously. You'll see.

School Lunch

Federal Courts
John Oliver discusses the impact Donald Trump had on the federal courts, how New York City's mayor was indicted for allegedly taking bribes from foreign sources, and why it's unforgivable that NYC's Rat Czar is not a rat in a top hat.
Traffic Stops
This week's main story is about traffic stops, the amount of power given to police during those stops and, of course, what Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce talk about at dinner. We're happy for them, just admit you have no idea what they talk about. We're all happy for them! Just, please, admit it.
Election Subversion 2024
This week's main story is about the attempts made by Donald Trump and his supporters to undermine the upcoming election, why those attempts might seem valid to someone you know, love or are related to – all different – and what we can expect after election night.
Mass Deportation/Lee Greenwood
This week we did something a bit different. We covered two main stories, both related to immigration. One is about mass deportations, and the other is about the man behind one of America's most popular anthems, "God Bless the USA," but they're both — at their core — about Mountain Dew Baja Blast. Because any story about America is sort of a story about Mountain Dew Baja Blast.
Trump's Businesses
This week's main story is about how Donald Trump's businesses have changed since his term as president, what could happen if he's reelected, and how badly we want Reba McEntire to go on Hot Ones. Please, Reba. We need this.
Trump's Reelection
John Oliver discusses Donald Trump's reelection, what happens next, and why the whole thing is – arguably – Katy Perry's fault.
TikTok Ban
John Oliver discusses the looming TikTok ban in the US, Donald Trump's controversial nomination of Matt Gaetz to be Attorney General, and how to bring 2024 to a close.
