11/16 Awkward Thanksgiving Reunions 2017 w/ Janeane Garofalo

November 16, 2017

On today’s show, the one and only Janeane Garofalo joins us to talk about how to deal with your conservative family at Thanksgiving…or not! Plus: Al Franken’s sexual harassment allegation, that story about the “fuck Trump” bumper sticker, Trump’s dry mouth, Sean Hannity’s attempts to save face over his treatment of Roy Moore, Janeane and Michael argue about Ayn Rand, and Janeane and Jamie argue about the media’s coverage of sexual misconduct. Oy!

On the “fun” half: Senator Chris Murphy discusses the crisis in Yemen, more on how to spend Thanksgiving with assholes, Janeane critiques Sam’s sartorial choices, some callers get froggy, and a brief nod to the idea of changing hearts and minds.
