Not So Funny
Manage episode 230627179 series 2284959
Abby and Jim review things that have happened in the past week that aren't funny - notably Utah Senator Mike Lee's stand-up comedy routine on the Senate floor that featured tauntauns and Aquaman. Would he have been as condescending if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had been a middle-aged man? Jim also introduce Abby to a speech by Senator Lee's father Rex Lee that read like a primer on why you shouldn't vote for Mike Lee. The other unfunny event of the week, Joe Biden's gropey public behavior, also gets the once-over, and Abby and Jim assess what this means in the coarsening Age of Trump.
