The State of Our Union is … long, apparently, with Trump holding court for close to two hours. It was an evening of hyperbole, hockey players, trolling, so many medals and about 5-10 too many guests. Our hearts go out to the fact-checkers.

Also discussed:

* Nancy makes no apologies for her hairdo (but really should)

* Without the hyperbole, Trump’s SOTU would have 20% shorter

* Hottest! Country! Ever!

* Isn’t the emphasis here supposed to be on union?

* “Seven pounds of Botox.”

* Melania’s tight miserable smile

* “Third term” ???

* The Men’s US Hockey Team players were made in the Nancy factory

* Medals! Medals! Medals!

* The BAFTA dust-up

* That Atlantic essay on the measles sure did stir the pot!

* Some 10,000 Maniacs love

Plus, will the most caustic word in the English language always remain caustic? An invitation for listeners to write the addendum The Atlantic should have written, Nancy has her greatest hot box ever, and much more!
