Greetings, Zoners. It’s been quite the week, hasn’t it? On Tuesday we officially began a new U.S. administration and so far both Stephen and Jon have demonstrated that they’ll find a way to snark on these new political figures. And it will be funny. I have a feeling that Stephen is going to struggle with an attraction to the new president… and I hope he shows another remix soon. The black light face paint had me falling off the couch laughing. Stay warm everyone, and enjoy the roundup!
