Episode 24: Is “Karen” Really a Racist Term?
Available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeartRadio.
In this episode, we discuss the recent controversy about whether the term "Karen" is racist, sexist, classist, and misogynistic. We also talk about recent developments related to Tiger King on Netflix and discuss how we are handling social distancing.
Note: In the episode, Spencer said that Zach Braff was being considered for the role of Joe Exotic. He meant Dax Shepard. In his defense, there was a meme a few years back about Zach Braff and Dax Shepard looking alike.
