Sessions Problems, Real Medical Costs, LA 92 and O.J.'s Juice: The New Fifth Column

Watch Michael Moynihan get his junk checked, and listen to Kmele Foster wax poetical about his family's immigration.

Last week on HBO's Vice News, former Reasoner and current Vice person Michael C. Moynihan, one-third of the weekly podcast (and Sirius XM radio show) The Fifth Column, let a series of doctors probe his sensitive areas while he attempted to ask them questions about costs, paperwork, and distortions in the medical market. The results are amusing and interesting, and you can watch them here:

We talk about that experience, in the context of Obamacare repeal's latest failures, on this week's episode of the podcast. Other topics include Vegas trips of yore, involving a singer named "Cheese."

* O.J. Simpson and his penis.

* Jeff Sessions and his many problems.

* Reflections on John McCain.

* An immigration report card six months in to Donald Trump's presidency.

* Advancements in and structural impediments to forensic science, and reforms thereof.

* The acclaimed new doc, LA 92.

Listen right here:

Reminder: Over the weekend you can listen to an hour-long version of The Fifth Column on Sirius XM POTUS (channel 124) Saturdays at 11 a.m. ET then Sundays at 1 a.m. and 3 p.m. And you can always find more Fifth Column at iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, wethefifth.com, @wethefifth, and Facebook.

Mr. Welch jumped into the confessional, and it was…you know…what happens people jump into confessionals.

I enjoyed watching Moynihan pay men to fondle his junk.

[Jerry on the sea]

Only $100, but no happy ending?

[Hugh Akston]

Vice’s health plan doesn’t cover happys out of network.

[XM]

Universal health care – where doctors are encouraged not to specialize and go into general practice because the government pays them so much!

[GILMORE?]

I need a rating on the Drunk-Level of this podcast. Scale of 1-to-Harrison Ford @ The Golden Globes

[Crusty Juggler :)]

1, although I got the sense that Welch was stoned.

I got the sense that Welch was stoned.

you mean ‘extra’-stoned? i assume Welch is always at least a little baked. I don’t think you can end up editing a libertarian magazine unless you’re been ‘kinda high’ for a decade or so.

[Crusty Juggler :)]

He jumped on the nostalgia train to the before times, so, he did whatever takes him there.

However, I did enjoy the LA riot stuff from all of them.

[Fist of Etiquette]

What do you suppose the mood was like in the recording booth when they all realized the Sirius deal meant they’d actually have to do this thing every week?

[GILMORE?]

contemplation of the long-term liver-damage?

[Think It Through]

Are you kidding me it’s against the rules to masturbate in prison in your own cell? I would think it would be ENCOURAGED. Very very strange.
