Fan Gets Nico FIRED, Kim Fails the Bar, Dude STEALS a Bus & Clanker is a Slur w/ Mattie Conaghan
FOLKS - it’s another week on Al Gore’s Internet and we covered it all. What else do you expect??  This week, Mattie Conaghan came through to help us recap all the news that’s fit to podcast. We covered Kim Kardashian failing the bar, the firing of Nico Harrison, new IRL Netflix experiences, and of course, the man who stole a bus because he got tired of waiting. There was a LOT of impressions in this one, so buckle up.  Then Dan and Chris Powers stopped by and we quizzed them on the meaning of Harper’s Dictionary’s top 10 words of the year. The brainrot is strong with this one.  Don’t miss our weekly Friday Awards, where we discuss long-distance kissing apps, teen drinking, the world’s largest mouth and a lady who streamed non-stop for 4 years straight.  PS - WELCOME TO THE PODCAST, NEW PRODUCER IZZY!!!
