Officer, I know you found that half-empty 40 in the center console of my car, but my heart tells me I haven't been drinking tonight, you know?

I obeyed the speed limit at all times. I wasn't going 16 to 50s.

Hey, everyone. I'm Ed Helms, and this is Snafu, the show about history's greatest screw-ups.

People should certainly check out the one on Curtis Yarvin that you guessed it for.

That was a particularly interesting one.

Robert, thank you so much for coming back.

Separately, the U.S. imposed an embargo on Iran due to their support of the group Hezbollah, a U.S. designated terrorist group that had taken 25 Americans hostage in 1984.
