THE POPE'S VISIT AND POLITICS He might have once been a devoted Catholic altar boy in Chicago but Jimmy Dore seems more about rebellion now. He’s a comedian and author who is a regular and welcome guest. Rebelling against religion and mainstream party politics, Jimmy always shakes up the conversation. He tells the story of being chased by a molesting priest and how that priest was ultimately handled by the community and the church. It’s religion and politics for sure but the crew gets to a lot of other things as well…Like the psychology of success and jockeying for position in life. Plus, now that Heather’s inmate lover is out (he was serving 5+ years in a federal penitentiary for a white collar crime), Jimmy is updated on her situation and shares some tough love with Heather. Josh gives Mark and Jimmy a hard time over their affections for the app PERISCOPE. You can find more Jimmy at jimmydorecomedy.com Heather Ankeny and J.Elvis Weinstein (Josh) join Mark Thompson |
