"Unmistakable Latin Flavor"

September 20, 2022 C.K. Taverner

This week we’re following the National Football League’s lead in appreciating Hispanic Heritage Month, yapping about terrible football games, trying to figure out what the hell is going on inside Lindsey Graham’s head, and wondering why Ron DeSantis is the way that he is, which is very obviously bad. 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. Enjoy!
