Wait wait don’t tell me
This is amazing it’s comedy and news in one
Hilarious
I love this 'mock the week' & 'whose line' mashup, including audience members & call in listeners. Glad to have found it, it's comedy brilliance! This needs to be a chart topper for more to hear it.

Horribly irresponsible
Hi I was horrified by the irresponsible reporting saying that chiropractors are not doctors in this episode. They are very much doctors- doctors of chiropractic. In the 1980s the AMA was found guilty of trying to wipe out the practice of chiropractic with slander like this so I would do more research. Chiropractors spend more hours on nutrition and anatomy then a medical doctor does and has to complete board exams. They do not just treat back and neck problems- they are looking at how your whole body functions. I found it really irresponsible for you to make jokes about something that actually helps people and yes that does include children. Full disclosure, I am not a chiropractor, but have been happily treated by them for many years.
