Tensions have been rising between the US and Turkey after strikes against the YPG in Syria, and Phil and Cooper are here to break it down. In addition, they discuss this week's Algerian elections (which no one there really cares about, since no one knows whether their president is alive). Also, Disney movies and the Met Gala.

Song: Cheb Khaled - C'est la vie
