Episode 11: Two For One

5/29/2017

​Two of our friends join this week, Ihsane Aziz and Alexis Kanter.  We ask what exactly feels so wonderful about Tom Holland's Lip Sync Battle performance?  What does Michael Cohen's tweet showing his daughter in lingerie demonstrate about our male political leaders' attempts to talk about their wives and daughters?  And do Melania and Ivanka's Trump wardrobe choices in Saudi Arabia respect or challenge that culture?
