The duo share their thoughts on the controversy surrounding Ed Sheeran in light of Macklemore being removed as the opening act for a portion of the English performer’s Loop Tour in the USA.

Ep 111 - Love in an Elevator

This week Josh and Sean share their staggering lack of knowledge when it comes to feminist activist, Gloria Steinem. When it comes to discussing facts about Steinem following her death, Josh and Sean prove little else apart from the fact that Sean knows that she was the stepmother of Christian Bale and founded Ms. magazine. Sean rants about his pet peeve when it comes to the general population not understanding how elevators work. You need to push the up button when you want to call a lift to take you up, people! The episode also checks in on the pair as they continue to come to terms with the sad death of music, movie, and philanthropic megastar Dolly Parton. Will Josh have processed enough grief in order to visit Dollywood next month?
