Desus Nice chats about the latest news, including Clarence Thomas not reporting a $250,000 forgiven loan on his tax returns and New York having one of the lowest bullying rates in the country, and Ronny Chieng chimes in on the list of worst first dates according to women. Desus then dives into the trend of billionaire franchise owners building stadiums that cost taxpayers lots of money, and for little benefit, in this week’s Long Story Short. Also, Grammy-nominated rapper D Smoke stops by to talk about his experience collaborating with his brother SiR on their latest single “Work Hard Play Hard,” how working as a public school teacher informed his new YA novel, and his advice for new artists.
