Episode 14: Surfing with a Joe Rogan superfan? Fmr Obama Speechwriter David Litt tells all in his new book
Former Obama speechwriter and bestselling author David Litt joins Lowlights to talk about what happens when things go hilariously wrong—on stage, on the page, and in the Atlantic Ocean. We dive into his new book, It’s Only Drowning, which chronicles how his pandemic-era struggles with mental health led him to pick up surfing with an unlikely buddy. From speech fails to surf fails, this one’s about learning to ride it out—even if you eat it on the way down.
After the interview, Gevin and Dave recap this week's sports highlights, from Cal Raleigh earning his first MLB All-Star nod, to the Indiana Fever clinching the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup. Dave tests Gevin on his music trivia knowledge, and Gevin returns the favor by quizzing Dave on which bagel flavors Americans love the most. Spoiler: don't talk to Dave about blueberry bagels.
