No Joking with Sen. Tom Cotton

The trio is back in action this week, and after a few weeks off, Rob is in full force! We've got Senator Tom Cotton to keep our attention (R- AR) where it should be: on Afghanistan. He then takes us through what was yesterday's Wuhan lab conspiracy theory but which has since become today's news. Cotton also breaks some news about Nancy Pelosi's future ambitions - you don't want to miss this! Our hosts scrap a bit about the California recall but enjoy nothing but unity on Norm Macdonald and comedy, even in our politicized and polarized society™. Music from this week's podcast: Make 'Em Laugh by Donald O'Connor (from the Singing in the Rain soundtrack.)
