Hello and welcome to The Precap, a daily show podcast where we sit down with this week's host and we preview what's coming up, recap some of the news we missed on the latest news. I am Kat Radley. I am a writer here at the show and I'm joined today by our host for the week, Michael Kosta.
I'm Michael Kosta. I'm the host for this week. Let's precap it.
Let's get precapped.
Precapped. You've been at the show a long time and we've worked together on so many different things.
So many things.
And I love working with you.
You're very fun to work with and really fun to write for. I think writing for you is very fun because we can get away with a lot of jokes we can't for others that are just a little more goofy, a little more dark, which is like comics. We love being able to write some dark stuff, but still very funny. Thank you. And I'd say your acting chops are really good, and they really sell the shit out of the jokes when we bring you down like dark spirals.
Well, those are very fun to do.
I could have sworn I think I saw tears in your eyes for one of them.
It's possible, but I had, I was just, I haven't told anybody this, but I was actually fired before that. I don't usually access tears when I'm hosting The Daily Show, but it doesn't mean I'm not feeling emotions. This is my dog, Walter, everybody. You want to come up here, buddy? You want to come? Come on. Get up here, you big shithead. Get up here right now.
This is how we talk to the staff.
No, but it's great to be here on the pre-cap with Kat Radley. Have we ever done a pre-cap before?
No, but we've done, when we used to do kind of like deep dives into pieces, I feel like we did a few of those. I think we probably talked about water or whatever the shit it is usually like to talk about. I love water. Yeah.
I love water. And I use it every day.
I've started dabbling in it.
Yes. What was the last field piece that we may have worked on together?
Oh, man.
I feel like... You get called in a lot on some of my film pieces. I get called in and I feel like it's been... Did you do Haunted Dolls?
Yes. I did some Haunted Dolls. I did... I mean, one of the prepper pieces you did. Psychic Pets.
Yep. That one just got... That one just aired.
It just aired, right?
Where he had his mind read. That was a fun one because... I posted a clip of that thinking everyone would be like, hey, you're being mean to this pet psychic. But just like the Internet always surprises me, half the people were like, good job, Costa, you got her. And the other half was like, she's a wonderful psychic. She read that dog's mind. It's like, OK, yeah, everyone just sees what they want to see.
Do you think that she got Walter right?
I don't believe in psychics, but I do believe, though, that we all need connection, and how we find that connection varies from person to person. Yeah.
Well, we are here to talk about psychics today. So we're going to talk about things that we missed this past week.
Yes.
The news cycle is just moving faster and faster. So there's a lot of stories that we might want to get to cover, but they'll be out of the news cycle by next week.
