Jimmy Kimmel’s INDEFINITE SUSPENSION was short enough to have come and gone between recordings of this podcast, but we’re here to talk about it anyway. Lots of other silliness, too, including Trump trying to pronounce acetaminophen, Strassmann looking for human connection in a California run club, and a pretty lady looking for another sort of connection at a sports bar. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it by joining the conversation on our Substack or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
