    Mal's in a rush this week, so it's a short(ish) and sweet new episode covering a terribly dark SVU case. S17E4 "Institutional Fail" guest stars the amazeballs Whoopi Goldberg, and Mal's story about how the wonderful comedian introduced her to--let's call it humor-question-mark--explains so, so many of Justin's sighs at her expense. They also talk about their terrible memories when it comes to 90's dad names, police ranks, and whether or not they've covered episodes of the show with appearances from Orange is the New Black actors. *sigh* Share, subscribe, rate and review on Apple Podcasts.

It's got racism, guns, child murder -- y'know, the things this podcast finds entertaining-question-mark? It's a rough one, but the amazing MGH is there to...well, listen and find out.
