Join us - JB Jones, Alain Simic, and Amy Elliott - for, well, politics. Listen, we know you come to Rough Cut for a cheap laugh and a bad dick joke, so we don't blame you for skipping this one; we actually encourage it! There is just too much happening in the world and we felt the need to do this... why? We don't even know, but here we are.
This episode was recorded on Thursday, July 18th and, as you'll hear, it turns out we are a little bit psychic on recent events! We will be back to our regular dog and pony show next week on Tuesday, July 30th, so if you don't want to hear our musings on the state of our democracy, wait until then!
Goodnight and good luck!
