  • Decent show but so woke

    I liked listening a bit but the show quickly devolves into calling everyone and everything racist with nothing stated to back up the claims. Holier than thou attitude and then proceeds to also mercilessly mock and make fun of people herself.

Q: Can you walk me through what that change looked like and why it happened?
