Caller: I laughed at one of Donald Trump’s tweets.

Caller: I made lasagna for dinner and then me and my boyfriend ate it and he said “thanks for cooking dinner” like it was the 1950’s or something.

Caller: I got into a Facebook argument today with someone in the comments section of a Westworld post.
