CS 142: Pod Damn Comedians feat. Jake Flores (@Feraljokes) (12/30/2018) *Double Length* (Patreon)

Another double-length premium episode. Today we wlecome Jake Flores (http://twitter.com/feraljokes) from the podcast Pod Damn America (https://www.patreon.com/poddamnamerica). We discuss the legacy of aughts comedy and how its need to be edgy and "equal opportunity" politically incorrect has or hasn't aged badly. We get into how edgelord and iconoclastic aughts figures from Gavin McInnes to Louis CK to Ricky Gervais to Chris Rock to Sarah Silverman have hasd trouble adjusting in a more ostensibly "woke" era.

Discussed in this episode, including articles evidencing McInnes's many years of open, public racism (and unconvincing backtracks):
