We discuss Scaramucci, the replacement for Sean Spicer, as well as the vote on Wealthcare, and the Senators who helped kill the bill. We talk about all of the shit Scaramucci got himself into this week and Priebus's resignation. Our topic this week ended up being fat-shaming because our friend (and former nutrition major) Lianna showed up at my house and we asked her to record with us!

Also we are now a part of the Ace Podcast Network!!
