It’s no big secret that Kirk hates brunch, so Lindsey decided to bring in her best friend and co-host of their hilarious podcast F**k You, I’m Smarter, Kelly Wallace Barnhill, to see if they can change Kirk’s mind. The three discuss the proper time (and amount of time) for brunch, Mimosas vs. Bloody Marys, should dim sum be considered brunch, and Kelly calls Kirk (big shock), “inflexible.”
