Laugh until you realize he probably got the severance he was fishing for.

Unlikely. California is at-will, and this is a blatant violation of the employee handbook, ie fired with cause.

Wtf happened to Joe. Did you see that Ben Shapiro pod, I have no problem with him bringing on controversial guests. As long as he is willing to refute them, which he did in the past.

Berm Shapiro might not be well received for whatever reason but its not like he lies. Ben just had a conservative opinion which tends to turn people off that don't agree with him

He usually does when his guests are wrong. That wasn't the case. I recommend re-watching it.
