Your Friday night hang. We take FIVE of the week's most notable & newsworthy topics and spend 8 minutes covering each one. Five 8-minute segments. Three minutes of evolving animation by CHUNK. Two revved-up hosts. One comic interlude. One special guest (and sometimes more). Plenty of curse words. And as many cocktails as we require. Join the party. 5pm/8pm Fridays.
