Join us this week for segments aplenty as we dive faces first into ACB and Catholicism in our new segment 'Keep the Faith'; Trump's Tax Troubles in our other new segment 'Controversy of the Week'; AND YET ANOTHER new segment called 'Cut me, Mick', where we very large sigh attempt to break down the first Presidential (if you can call it that) debate, and afterwards, Rob takes another shot at everyone's favorite game show 'Is this a quote from the first Presidential debate, or just a thing I made up?' Don't worry, we didn't forget the topic of the week: Voting and Voter Fraud, which is chock full of information with J's 'Buzzed History', this week's 'Bonehead of the Week', and we give our new editor-in-chief of the forthcoming 'The Intermediary' a call to discuss this topic as well. Yep, we think it's all a hot mess, inside a dumpster fire, inside a train wreck too, let's jump in, shall we?
