In our K-pop segment Sunday night, while arguing that 'Jungkook can get it,' we featured a fancam that inadvertently also contained a shot of Kai from EXO. We're fixing the error for future broadcasts, but to be clear: Kai can also get it. They can both. Get. It.

CORRECTION: In our show on October 16, 2016, we raised the possibility that Joe Exotic might be "the perfect candidate" for the presidency. In light of subsequent events, we must regretfully concede that he was, in fact, the second-least-perfect presidential candidate that year.
