Topics include public health, plagues and floods, the PEI election, and extremist chat rooms. Plus, Mary's Game of Thrones obsession continue's unabated, Gill teaches us about Vanderpump Rules, and everyone wants the best for Britney Spears.

Comedians Nat Armstrong and Mary Green discuss people, things, and institutions who are blowing it, and a few who aren't. This week it's white nationalists, Justin Trudeau, the province of Alberta, vandals on PEI with unclear motives, and whoever thought a Joker origin story movie was necessary. Not blowing it? TV shows The Twilight Zone and What We Do In the Shadows.

Comedians Nat Armstrong and Mary Green discuss people, things, and institutions who are blowing it, and a few who aren't. This week it's all levels of government, the Premiers of both PEI and New Brunswick, Justin Trudeau, and Jason Kenney, among others. The only people not blowing it are Netflix and the band Mötley Crüe, and even that is up for debate.
