E94: Joe Biden Chokes on a Corn Pop!


Listen Later

This week, we learned that Joe Biden’s idea of a sick burn is to call someone “Esther,” as in Esther Williams, the late swimming star of the silver screen, whose heyday was in the 1950s. In Australia, a fire at a farm caused a massive bull semen explosion. The New York Times broke a bombshell story about Brett Kavanaugh, but completely botched the rollout, yet again. Disgraced White House press secretary Sean Spicer made his debut on “Dancing With the Stars” in a pirate shirt on the same day that Netflix announced a deal to stream the “Seinfeld” library. Coincidence? We think not. A New Zealand man brought an emotional support clown to his layoff meeting. And a new Natalie Portman film about the astronaut who drove 900 miles wearing adult diapers so she wouldn’t have to stop to pee premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, and it was sadly missing the diapers. Thanks for all the feedback. We here for you.
