Summary
Three days of a juice diet has had an unexpected affect on Luke. He and Andrew discuss their favorite political musical parodist, Bob Dylan's Nobel-level reticence, and a high-level Instagram copycat (who is probably not a troll, even though Andrew hopes she is.)
Special thanks to James De Pietro and Kat Schmidt for making today's show possible.
