Episode Thirteen of Safe Spaces is here… feeling lucky? We wouldn’t bet the kid’s college funds on those “sure thing” lottery tickets just yet, but lucky listeners are in for one hell of a show where anything can and often does happen. Well, as long as our brave hosts aren’t hauled away for crimes against humanity. Don’t jinx them.

The sad saga of comedian Bill Cosby sets the tone; regardless what side of the disgraced Jell-O Pudding Pop pitchman’s ongoing legal troubles you fall on, there’s no doubt of his influence on not just the world of comedy, but race relations in America. None of this could possibly end well.

Anton shares updates to past Safe Spaces favorite Laci Green, the online feminist and ‘sex expert’ who recently swallowed the Red Pill by daring to engage with MRAs – Men’s Rights Activists. Apparently, not only has Laci found new inspiration from having dialogue with others, but she’s also found love. True happiness is in short supply in SJW (social-justice warrior) circles, and it seems the predictable online villains are dead set on tearing that down by any means necessary.

But the updates aren’t over yet – not by a long shot. Nate updates listeners on the critical status of Warner Bros’ blockbuster Wonder Woman, whose box-office and absurdly praised reviews may have been slightly exaggerated by the mainstream media. That’s not to say the film’s performance isn’t note-worthy (hint: it is), but the guys discuss how the desire to over-exaggerate in the name of misguided feminism actually degrades whatever goodwill a crossover icon like Diana Prince might otherwise (forgive the pun) engender.

Attention 2017 movie “critics” and activists: Sigourney Weaver and Linda Hamilton would like a few words; those with frail constitutions may want to skip this part.

Our final big story of the week goes to none other than the hilariously ill-named Reality Winner, a 25-year old contractor with the NSA charged with ‘willful retention and transmission of defense information’ for allegedly releasing classified documents to online news outlets. Incredibly, it was only after her arrest that things really started to get really crazy. Like, crazy, crazy.

The government alleges Ms. Winner not only stole classified documents about possible Russian interference, but may have horded other classified information she’s stashed away. But it’s Winner’s own words that may come back to haunt her, including an online presence that could only be called “nuts”, and at the very least disqualifying for government clearance in a sane world. Ms. Winner’s rants also (again allegedly) include sympathizing with Islamic terrorists, showing allegiances to foreign governments, and even an aside about blowing up the White House. Hmm, where have we heard that before…?

She also seems to have anticipated her self-inflicted martyr status, suggesting plans to play up the “cute, white female” angle to help make herself more sympathetic in the media. She even cites the public case of fellow celebrity leaker Chelsea Manning, who’s own 35-year sentence for leaking classified material was considerably shortened by outgoing US President Obama. Stay tuned!

A quick wrap-up includes such wide-ranging influences like gaming development god Shigeru Miyamoto (Super Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong) and journalistic polymath Arthur Koestler’s 1960 travelogue The Lotus and the Robot. Bill Cosby, The Terminator, and existential religious comparisons; where else would, nay, could you possibly get that kind of range on a little ole podcast?
