From May 21, 2023: In this episode, Kenny and Virgil break down the vigilante culture behind Citizen, Nextdoor, and Ring. We get into why and how these companies capitalize on your fear and paranoia, while successfully pitting communities against one another. We also give you social-anxiety babes a lil advice on how to build up the courage to just ask your neighbor for a cup of sugar.

A family in Gaza displaced by Wasreal’s attacks is fundraising in order to afford basic necessities. Please donate + share with your friends & on social media.
