Not For You

On this week’s special Step Brothers-themed episode of Not For You, Kristen and Kato discuss mammoth meatballs, Gen Z retroactively canceling Friends, plus two newly added segments, Word Association, and our weekly Judy Greer Update (with a bonus John C. Reilly update).

The first new segment we’re introducing this week is the Balloon Knot! This week’s BK is the school shooting in Tennessee. Related topics include the stigma of mental illness, serial killers, the identity of the shooter, accountability, gun control, anti-drag legislation, the cyclical nature of hate, visibility, and other light topics to bring to your next family party.

Our other new segment this week is the inaugural edition of Ray Carroll Reviews. This week Ray reviews: the new ‘We Love NYC’ logo.

Join us this week in having a brief moment of appreciation for Linda Sinrod, Guinness World Record holder and Virginian badass. Play along at home and let us know what State you would remove from the United States. Also, more from our favorite weekly segment: The Judy Greer Update.

Other tangents include oddly accurate definitions of swatting, Miley Cyrus' "Flowers", Youth Pastor Kato, starting a Not For You-themed dispensary, Cocaine Cat, respectful rage-quitting brought to you by former Mayor Frank Hibbard, Cher's new boyfriend, and giving Maine to Canada to make up for Seward's Folly.
