Corporate Gossip

Coming up this week on the ⁠Patreon⁠ Robby and I discuss Aaron Sorkin's Stinker, the Social Reckoning. It deviated so much from the source material that I was motived to re-edit our Facebook episodes into this supercut that sets the record straight on the two worst people on earth: Sheryl Sandberg (3:00) and Mark Zuckerberg (1:00:00)!

We'll be back later this week with all of our thoughts about Nathan Fielder's You Can See Everything - until then!
