001 - I Can See Your Weakness and You Can See Mine
Chicory and Zero dissect a scene at a role-playing gaming table. They explore racist accents in gaming, media and society, social capital, group dynamics, racism in general, public vs private conversations, freewill and picking your battles, locker room talk, safe spaces, shared vulnerabilities and risks, family in-jokes, and quite a bit of star wars references.
