Smother of Exiles

Lovett Or Leave It asks “why so Sirius?” as we welcome a whole new cast of jokers to our stage. GOP candidate Tim Scott’s very real girlfriend (Lisa Gilroy) stops by to discuss their wonderful, extremely plausible relationship. Sam Sanders and Danielle Schneider discuss the most important news of the week, both Real Housewife and original flavor. Morgan Jay finally answers the question that has plagued philosophers for centuries: would you have sex with this alien?
