About this Episode
This week, things get a bit more controversial than normal - Steve is quite the bad one and decides to rant and rave before announcing that he's 1/16th Native American. Things calm down after that, and we and chat about weird historical events before diving into Oscar drama (including some discussion around past allegations of Casey Affleck committing sexual assault).
