And finally, we discuss the decline of the straight white male novelist and whether or not its cause for alarm. Comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by comedian Leah Bonnema, who you've seen on Colbert among many other things and comedian Fabrezio Copano who's new special is available on YouTube on July 29.

Today we're recording a bonus episode all about Brad Pitt. What are we going to say? I don't know, but it's happening.
