OSNAP #30: Mmmm… Popeyes

OSNAP: Mmmm… Popeyes
Before diving into poop and looking at porn, Merrill kicks off the show by sharing his utter confusion at a pleasant compliment at work. Kevin agrees that is terribly confusing, and he assures Merrill he will never confuse him that way again. Kevin then reminisces on his more-than 10-year career writing about movies. In the middle segment, things take a serious turn when Kevin launches into a rant about rape culture and what he characterizes as the collision of the bystander effect and reality TV. But don’t worry because things lighten up again at the end when they skewer Justin Bieber and check out some wacky news stories, with topics that include orgasmic fried chicken and whether size really does matter. Oh, snap!
