Point of privilege: we are going to be talking throughout the episode. There is also some clapping, so keep in mind this episode may not be for the faint of heart. So yes, we do talk about that DSA video.

Did You Know? In the face of national tragedy, people still die from the flu. Thanks Neil deGrasse Tyson. People are letting this guy scoot by because he's a meme, right? Well, at least he isn't a dog-beating YouTuber.

All that, and YOUR listener voicemails? You better believe it- don't miss this episode!

We guested on the podcast Filler Content this week hosted by our good friends Hard Men Working Hard. Listen to find out what horrible thing Lakembra did.

People are mad that you need a "Bethesda account" to play the 1993 classic 'Doom' on the Nintendo Switch. But just kidding- that was apparently some kind of practical joke! Speaking of: Steve-O's twitter account got hacked to say very bad words. Cue Steve-O throwing up sound effect. Parody cartoons are mean no matter what, and we play some wild n' crazy listener voicemails!

We might have had a little too much Malört this episode, but that's never stopped us from doing our civic duty and doing it like a mother fucking sir. So, have a seat, this one's a wild one. Oh, but uh, before ya do, keep in mind chairs are gendered now too, and cock and ball torture is mandatory. So whether you got a man hole or something else, no one is safe.

Being that Brett is visiting, we need to discuss the problem with Chicago pizza elitists, and put an end once and for all to the thinkpieces about what a real Chicago pizza is. We don't play games here, and we aren't Monopoly truthers either. Pass go and tell your friends to listen to Thought Cops.

Neo-Chicago, we're in you! You beautiful cyberpunk city, I keep comin' back cause I just can't get enough of your sweet... ass?

Well, it's the summertime, and you know what that means. That's right, make sure to watch the dial on your air conditioner because cold temperatures may reinstate outdated gender norms. How?

We've got a lot of problems this week, and none of them are "smol" potatoes. Pokemon fans are upset their favorite 'mons might be left behind in a movement they've dubbed "Dexit"! In dumb people news: the bottle cap challenge is very popular.

5 words I've been waiting my whole life to say: The Dalai Lama Is Cancelled. That's right, folks. That news may be hard to swallow, so make sure to wash it down with a hearty swig of GamerGirl Bath Water. It's only $30 a jar.

This episode, Derrick helps us take down the thought criminals of the week, of which there are many. Louis CK performed at a ska festival called Skankfest and gave the audience a standing o. Or they gave him one. Oh god how do I find my way out of this euphemism.

Evangelion comes to Netflix, and everyone hates it. Because a boy doesn't tell another boy he loves him or something. And then he jerks off into his hand? While New York, New York by Frank Sinatra's playing in the background. Man, is anime weird.

Kim Kardashian tries to trademark the word "kimono" so as punishment we tie her to a chair and make her watch Andrew Dice Clay perform standup with Roseanne Barr. Shut the fuck up and take my money.

This week, we try not to let the existential dread kick in as we talk about ironically detached stock phrases, the lack of sympathy the internet has for people, and the litter all over the streets and sidewalks.

This week we also make Gaten Matarazzo get a real fucking job, we talk about Rachel Dolezal doing bisexual-face, and OJ Simpson's brand new Twitter account. We also narrowly avoid talking about Kyle Kashuv getting rejected from Harvard for saying the n-word, and something else about Anita Sarkeesian being in the news. Phew!

SPOILER ALERT. We put all the things we talk about in the episode IN THIS POST. Lurkers beware. This week, we challenge Justin Bieber and Tom Cruise to a pizza roll eating contest, and NEITHER of them take us up on it.

Bad news for clown frogs everywhere, the "honk honk" meme got banned on Facebook. Also though, it didn't. Looks like FAKE NEWS is a... REAL PROBLEM!

Also, hold off paying off your student loans until you're at the end of your life (65), because if you do, it will only cost you TEN DOLLARS. Looks like instead of food, my generation will be eating the old.

If you're not tired of us beating a dead horse by constantly deconstructing the increasing monopolistic stranglehold on audiovisual internet content by Youtube, you're in luck. Because this week Steven Crowder, aka "The Brain" from the Gay Rat Wedding Show on PBS goes head to head with Vox commentator Carlos Maza in who can use the most homophobic slurs and get their Youtube channel completely demonetized. You'll never guess who wins. If we never have to talk about the Youtube adpocalypse or "Voxadpocalypse" again, I'll stop drinking and clean up my act.

This episode we also plan our trip to Boston to celebrate Straight Pride, and we invent a new game for the parade that's kind of like the Mark Wahlberg version of pin the tail on the donkey. We also make fun of how the McElroy brothers look, women who put their middle name as their last name on Facebook, and too many stairs.
