This week, we’re talking to Ben Palmer, the internet’s favorite social justice troll and a comedian who’s mastered the fine art of getting corporations (and boomers) in their feelings. From fake customer service accounts to cease and desist letters, Ben shares how he uses satire, loopholes, and a little chaos to call out bad behavior online. We also dive into the dark side of comedy and content creation, what it means to stay authentic while making money, and why Medieval Times performers deserve better. Buckle up—this one’s a wild ride.
