Summary
Today! We're talking about congress, and how so much of it doesn't make sense, we're asking if men need purpose more than they need respect, and we're talking about how robots are now replacing television hosts. And what a panel we have today to break all of that down: Joel Stein (journalist and host of podcast, 'Story of the Week' ) and Samantha Bee (Full Frontal, Daily Show)!
