After a stop in St. Louis to discuss everyone's new favorite muzzle-challenged avatars of racial panic, the saucy boys turn to the main topic of the week: the "Karen Phenomenon". First, Chris interviews educator -- and partner-in-quarantine -- Jenny Padgett about the necessity of self-reflection, education, and listening for those who wish to de-Karenize themselves and then Josh attempts to historicize the phenomenon with a look into the "colonial Karens" of the imperial past. In the end, Karens existed in the colonies and continue to exist now because they serve the interests of a patriarchal, racialized power structure that requires collaborators who can "defend society from itself."
