It’s been a BIG week. People are feeling some kinda way. We understand. And today’s episode is our official call to UNITY.
But first, we’re gonna have to make fun of some of you just a little bit.
Actually, we’re gonna be calling out the losers and the winners, because making fun of everyone equally is the American way.
Our Gen X listeners can handle it. We’re a resilient bunch.
That’s not a question, by the way. We’re telling you what’s new right now - with us, the country, the world, pop culture. According to the news and online trends, there are all sorts of things we’re supposed to care about at the moment. We looked into these ridiculous things so you don’t have to.
