#448 - A Hot Mess (w/ Kat Rosenfield)
The title says it all. The three lads were together, in the same studio, for the second time in as many months. And it’s possible that the start of this particular episode was, for whatever reason, a bit chaotic. But as we settle in with our friend novelist and journalist Kat Rosenfield, we ultimately managed to discuss a few things like…
* Kat’s cancellation story
* Her great New York mag piece from 2017
* Wait, what is sex trafficking?
* Did Kat steal a sled from a kid? Or is that kid a filthy liar?
* Revisiting Christine Blasey Ford
* Firing or cancelling?
* The sacking of Rona Romney McDaniel…Romney
* The Trump bible
* Kat is meh on Cormac McCarthy
* And much, much more
