Show Summary
Adam, Gina, and Bryan open today’s podcast discussing a poorly covered news story about Lady Gaga’s dogwalker being shot. Bald Bryan also talks about his daughter Tessa, which leads to a conversation about traditional gender roles. From there, Chris Laxamana returns with some more Trending Topics to discuss, including updates on the Muppets content warnings, and Fry’s Electronics closing all its stores. Before the break, the guys talk about everyone buying things online without seeing the items in person.
Tiller Russell returns to the podcast at the top of Part 2. The guys talk about his new film ‘Silk Road’, which is based on the true story of Ross Ulbricht and the creation of the internet’s first unregulated marketplace. They also discuss the history of Bitcoin, as well as adapting one of his past documentaries into a feature film. Later, Gina reads a breaking story about another gymnastics coach charged with a multitude of crimes, as well as stories about the Saudi Crown Prince greenlighting a murder, the end of Borat, and Post Malone covering a Hootie and the Blowfish song. As the show wraps up, the guys discuss Mr. Potato Head going gender neutral.
