On this week’s episode I talk the media’s obsession with issues that most people don’t care about, specifically the ludicrous amount of coverage for Dave Chappelle’s special V.S very import world events that are missing from some major media institutions.  I also talk about Alec Baldwin.  This is a great example of people being human beings.  People are calling for an investigation into the incident but showing sympathy for Alec Baldwin.  That’s accountability culture.

My guest this week is Chris Robinson.  We discuss if it’s possible for comedy to go to far.  Do we have our own limits?  Does too soon really matter?  And, navigating safe space rooms, and racial issues as comedians.
