Trends Like These

This week, we talk about–you guessed it–the worldwide surplus of Unicorns and jellybeans! Okay, that was a bit of wishful thinking, it’s more like COVID-19, Bernie vs. Biden, the Utah Earthquake, and other not-so-upbeat stories. But Courtney surprises Brent with a dramatic reading and we talk about cat buttholes in a way you may want to sit down for!

Today we're talking about the Coronavirus, Super Tuesday, and Courtney's got a powerful tribute to Elizabeth Warren for you.
