This week, host Gabe González is talking about the past week in headlines which include some encouraging news from a Texas election, a predictably ridiculous take from a homophobe just in time for Pride month, and the interview Ricky Martin is still thinking about from over 20 years ago. Plus, we're joined by an incredible guest, stand-up comic Gina Yashere who joins the conversation to talk about her new book, going from working as an elevator engineer to a comedian, and "The Piers Morgan Effect."
