Our big New Year's resolution was to have an amazing episode with Yassir Lester and after today we're pretty much done for the year! We talk about the medical diagnosis of a "sunday scary," why being a Yaris driver is one of the most powerful political statements one can make, and, of course, whether or not Allison Williams ever got tired of having to be Marnie. Plus, can straight people figure out how to use the bluetooth speaker or do they deliberately choose silence?
