Langston Kerman guest hosts the last What A Weekday until Father… we mean, until Lovett gets home. This week, Trump narrows down which conservative ghoul shall receive his vice presidential rose. What happens in Vegas, stays in the belly of a shark. Mark Robinson’s train of thought flies off the rails. There’s a conspiracy afoot, and since it’s Alex Jones’s foot, you know just the sight of it is gonna make you puke.
