In our 45th episode of This F*cking Guy, Erin and Alyssa dive deep into the past of the wimpy blobfish himself, Ted Cruz. From his pedantic debate team days, to his impeccable vacation timing with natural disasters, to bending the knee to Trump after he degraded his wife, to getting dog-walked by Tucker Carlson, this may be our most craven guy, yet!
