Say what? today seeks to define another of the Right's favorite insults, the RADICAL LEFT, and both Johnny and Sue learn something about themselves in the process. Then we begin a discussion on The Dead Internet Theory, and in Whatcha Watching, we have another amazing documentary recommendation for those who are nostalgic for the nineties.
