Episode 30- Uncivil War (ft Rachey)

It’s the thirtieth episode of the Plunge, and we’re still serving up the freshest content consisting of the most pungent stories in politics, pop culture, and even our own lives. Be sure to follow the show on Twitter, subscribe, rate, and review us on iTunes, and tell all your friends about us. All three of them. This week was another cascade of crappiness, with cops complaining about seasoning, columnists howling at Susan Sarandon, and pernicious arguments about civility for fascists roaming around the vast expanse of online. In pop culture, we’re talking about James Woods, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, and the latest Netflix hype magnet, Nanette, with Hannah Gadsby. Rachey will stop by for a roundtable take on this not-so comedic comedy special, and we’ll close out with a blockbuster, legally hypothetical tale that we call: grand theft succulent. As always, we’re bringing the freshest takes on the worst stories, opinions, and TV products out there.
