Pags and the crew start off having some fun—from Canadian bacon and shrimp to Joe admitting his name may have been dropped to police once or twice over the years—before remembering ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard following his death at 77 and celebrating the incredible legacy he leaves behind. Then President Trump posts a map labeling the Strait of Hormuz as U.S. territory, and Pags says the presidential troll is officially on a roll. Things somehow get even stranger when a Massachusetts mayor facing fraud charges goes viral over questions about his ability to speak English—and the crew can't help themselves when he attempts to prove the critics wrong. Then NewsNation's Robert Sherman joins Pags from Doha, Qatar, for an incredible firsthand look at the Middle East. Who really has rights to the Strait of Hormuz? Is it open or closed? How does this conflict actually end, and what's happening with the Iranian people behind the headlines? Sherman also pulls back the curtain on what everyday life is really like in Qatar, giving listeners a fascinating perspective you don't normally hear from someone actually there.Learn more about your ad choices.
