Episode 3- Pizzagate 2.0- Papa John's Race War

Hey all you plungeheads,
On this week’s edition of terrible takes, we’ll give you the lowdown on a sectarian conflict brewing within our very nation. We’re talking about the clash between Papa John Schnatter and the scourge of his bottom line, the NFL protesters. You’ll find out which side Pizza Hut is on, and we’ll learn a little about the shady causes Little Caesars’ founder’s money goes to. You’ll hear about why everyone’s so mad at the NFL, and we’ll close out the segment with a musical number. For our next segment, we’re going to open up the idiot box and pull these naked beasts for all of you to see, at least until their gangrenous flesh starts to erode our protective gloves. First up is still-governor Chris Christie, head of Trump’s opiate commission, last spotted gasping for air on a secluded beach, where sadly no one was present to roll him back into the surf. Next up is Sam Clovis, the walking double chin who recently bowed out of consideration for a top US Department of Agriculture post, and is connected with some Russian skullduggery alongside George Papadopoulos, who has assured his mom that getting charged with conspiracy is a perk of his sweet government job. In our third segment, we’ll catch up with Barack Obama and learn that having a multimillionaire ex-president on your jury is the greatest privilege the accused can ask for. In the pop culture corner, we’re talking about the resistance’s favorite TV shows. We’ll talk about Larry David’s liberal a**h*le fantasies in Curb Your Enthusiasm, and we will reveal how Saturday Night Live has Donald Trump on the brink of impeachment. As we always do, we’ll finish up the show with this week’s story time, and I’ll be telling you about the joys of holding your neighbors close. Then we’ll close out with some sensuous nuggets of wisdom from David Brooks, this show’s spiritual, moral, and sexual guide.
