Sometimes it feels like racism and double standards are everywhere. Oh wait, they are! On this episode of Mouthy/Messy/Mandatory Katie and Ronit talk Starbuck’s not-terrible apology, how real change will take more than a one-day workshop, (Tammie Jo Shults and her nerves of steel), and why football players apparently can’t be trusted around women. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Roseanne and Everlane are both selling the idea of “REAL people,” but Katie and Ronit aren’t buying it.

What is it about companies and networks that use “real” people that rubs the Mouthy team the wrong way? What is Game of Thrones for Kids? And what the heck does Horky Navorky mean? All that and more on this special Friday the 13th/Spring Break ep of MMM.

In light of the chilling video proving that Sinclair Broadcast Group is distributing propaganda masked as news to at least 40% of American homes, Ronit and Katie take a minute to dig into who SBG is, why this news takeover is scary and worth resisting, and how news organizations can earn - or break - our trust.

PLUS, Ronit drops a bona fide F-bomb on the WaPo essay about 2 culturally Jewish men who didn’t marry Carey Purcell (spoiler alert: It was the Jewishness that ruined it! It was all the Jewishness’s fault!)

Between media-savvy minors and a shame-proof Stormy Daniels, the establishment is BabaSHOOK! Katie and Ronit don’t know why the GOP thinks picking on students is a smart way to drum up support for guns, but Parkland students and their supporters have clearly hit a nerve. Also! Katie’s kids make a cameo in this ep again (#Childcare #TheStruggleIsReal), and we ask ourselves one of the biggest questions in Mouthy history…  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ronit and Katie tackle the idea of “digital blackface.” Is it okay for white people to send out gifs and emojis of people of color? Is it “segregation” to ask white people to only use gifs with white people in them? Why do we gravitate toward gifs with black people, anyway?

Also, it’s looking STORMY outside! Kickass news from an unexpected source leaves the Mouthy crew cackling over the idea of the mood in the Conway house tonight. PLUS! Hallelujah, male birth control is on the horizon, and stick around until the end for a round of Actual Real-Life Presidential Porn Star Names.

Ronit & Katie ask hard questions like:

 - What happens when a woman ascends to a position of leadership, but we just don’t like her? Are we bad feminists?

 - Should we just forget about the waterboarding in Gina Haspel’s past?

 - Why are we so quick to pick apart prominent women?

 - Why is there cheese in our hair?

PLUS! Snapchat comes for RiRi and the Mouthy crew is not having it.

Also, shout out to the student activists who DGAF if they get suspended for marching for their lives! #MarchOn

In honor of International Women’s Day Katie and Ronit zoom up close on #MeToo and what it looks like outside of Hollywood and white privilege, explain why men aren’t stupid, try to fathom how 13 could ever be a reasonable age of consent in France, and revisit Margaret Atwood’s “bad feminism”. Plus native authors you can read who aren’t Sherman Alexie. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Monica Lewinsky and Rachel Crooks are back in the news, this time on their own terms, and Katie & Ronit are here for it. These boss babes are done getting steamrolled by handsy Presidents, done getting cyber bullied by Chads with halitosis, done with silence. Yassss queens!

 

Also, Hope Hicks, mean girls, Ronit’s mom and we reveal our top-secret plan for Ryan Seacrest on Oscar Sunday!
