co-host and friend Mark Garigos, a criminal defense attorney to the stars. We're going to get

0:15.9

into the Harvey Weinstein rape trial going on in New York right now and later journalists and co-host of the

0:21.6

Drop Dead Serious podcast, our friend Ashley Banfield, will join us to discuss the latest on the

1:52.0

So Mark and I were very easy with him and the questions and we didn't want to push.
