Roombas, Stallone, and The Rock Fails Again | 071

46m · Sorry, We Tried. · 19 Feb 12:00

In this unplanned episode of Sorry We Tried, we're breaking in a brand-new studio space in style with another edition of Free Talk Friday On a Saturday Edited On Sunday But Comes Out On a Monday, or FTFOASEOSBCOOAM. This week, there's a lot of news to discuss as Dwayne Johnson (a perennial punching bag of this program) made headlines by trying (and failing) to take over yet another iconic entertainment company this week. First DC, now the WWE... where will he launch a failed, ego-driven corporate takeover next???

Also in this episode, Harrison's Roomba goes on an adventure. Robby doesn't want to make sustained eye contact. Spencer has an epiphany about the grim future of the MCU. And the guys delve deep into the mysterious, enigmatic behavior of one of Hollywood's most twisted and dark stars--- Sylvester Stallone. You will literally NEVER BELIEVE what he's known for doing in LA hotels. Seriously. You'll never guess.
