On TV Talk Tuesday, the boys ran through a handful of the latest shows they’ve been watching and had some thoughts.

Meanwhile, a man from Trumbull, Connecticut is facing some serious accusations after authorities say he managed to scam Amazon out of about $3 million.

Air travel also provided one of those “only on a plane” moments recently.

Instead of simply putting on a pair of earbuds or turning the volume down, the situation escalated into shouting, and she was eventually removed from the flight.
