Who's getting canceled! I need to know this. It's important to know who that is happening to! Because I assume it is a lot of people. Presumably it is, right? It's only a few or several years later. And nothing has really changed since then. Plus there's a game about it, which usually indicates some level of relevance. Yep. All in all, I'd say someone is getting canceled. God, I hope it's no one I care about! The consequences, we assume, would be dire. Well anyway on today's show there's that kind of stuff. And some Catholic stuff (don't write in saying you're Catholic I don't want to hear none of that mess).
