A lawyer, a host, and a comedian decide to get to the root of this week’s topics. This episode they discuss why the death of a captive gorilla has become a national news story; the social and historical significance of the History channel’s new ‘Roots’ miniseries and whether we will be watching Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian’s new E! docuseries. If you consider yourself a conversational mixologist, then hit play, until the bartender cuts you off.
