After some followups and corrections involving J.K. Rowling’s new book and Jesse’s heaving knockers, Jesse tells Katie about a New York Times article which attempts to partially pin the blame for the travails experienced by the Women’s March — a super competent, super well-run organization that has never generated any controversies — on *RUSSIAN TROLLS*. Then the hosts take listeners’ advice for the very first time. Few lessons are learned, other than that Jesse is extremely dumb.
