It's the Hotties' second to last show of 2017 and they are ready to end this year with a bang, not a whimper. There's a fun twist on "Know Thy Enemy" this week – spoiler: there are a *lot* of trash men in the world [1:28]. Hey Facts Tho is brimming with new knowledge, and CT & KW prove their ever-growing mind-meld by having the SAME fact for the first time [15:19]. And while 2017 has been roundly garbage, your Hotties want to remind of the good that happened this year by sharing some of their most favorite bits [29:53]. As always, they have culture and other goodies for you to get involved with [47:50]. Join them, won't you?
