The Fellas Go to Parti-Gras

When Lori is away the dudes will…talk about the government shutdown before starting the show and then ramble about how gambling is fun and good but also probably really bad. Join us for a mostly unstructured conversation about television, betting apps, and eventually some of the more absurd stories in the news from the last couple of weeks that we haven’t yet discussed. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it on Facebook or Twitter, leave a comment on the show’s page on our website, or you can send us an email here.
