The Gist - Jeff Ross Got Bored, So He Got Political

On The Gist, President Trump’s judicial nominations are starting to look ridiculous.

In the interview, comedian Jeff Ross got a little tired of his shtick as a go-to roast guy for Comedy Central’s famous Friars Club sendups. So he started skewering not people, but places, ideas, and institutions. His latest special, ­­Jeff Ross Roasts the Border, takes viewers to Brownsville, Texas, a city along the U.S.-Mexico border where a huge steel fence is meant to keep migrants from crossing into the United States.    

In the Spiel, bidding farewell to the legendary sports radio host, Mike Francesa.

Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - Charles Manson is Dead, Part 2

When authorities arrested members of the Manson Family for the Tate-LaBianca murders, they'd intended it to be the final chapter of a terrifying story. However, as the trial progressed, it quickly became evident that this was only the beginning of a much longer, stranger saga.

So do any of these theories have a grain of truth? Join the guys as they separate fact from folklore in the conclusion of this two-part series.
