Drink of the day: Water! We’re so responsible. 
Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta are talking about the extreme weather and natural disasters that have been rocking the country. From the Iowa derecho to California wildfires and the hurricanes bearing down on us from the sea! It’s intense. 
We’re also catching up on all that Bravo good good and talking a little mess in Criminy River!
