We return with the completion of the very exciting conversation that took place between last week's guest, Leah Kayajanian, and our hosts. All four continue to jockey for position, discussing the very important elements of free speech, and determining where, and if, a line should exist at all. Sprinkled in as usual are some of the coldest roast jokes recorded on the planet, featuring Leah herself. The crew picks up where it left off talking about battling on the road in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with an epic showdown between our co-host Pat and guest Leah.
