  • In NOT NORMAL News, Trump thinks he should get an extension on his abysmal first term, and Lindsey Graham supplies the excellent judicial advice of ignoring a subpoena.
  • AP Choice has us considering whether we’d adopt a plant-based diet, heartbeat bills, and how to remove our data from Google.
  • During Surprise Bitch! we play a game that’s trending online with listener Danielle. Good luck with those highlights, girl!
  • Think of your daughters before naming them Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lady of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, Lady of Dragonstone, Queen of Meereen, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons.

  • If we enter the next ice age, will lenders track down our iced corpses demanding repayment? Probably.
  • Farmer Pat is back to tell us about another food marketing scheme: organic foods.
