E46: Lindsey Graham Unfurls the Snake Within!

This week, we took a break from liftin’ weights at Tobin’s with our pal Squi to dissect Lindsay Graham’s attempt to win a Tony Award (and perhaps a VP slot on the Trump 2020 ticket) in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. We also shut down another insane Lindsay--La Lohan--getting punched in the face after posing as an Arab man; a vomiting cannibal snake in India; Scrabble’s perplexing new additions to its dictionary; the first-ever robot brothel in Houston; Silicon Valley moguls’ ill-conceived Kiwi escape plan; and finally there’s Brexfit, the Brexit-inspired workout craze sweeping the UK.
