This Week In Outrage episodes

  • #32: Criticism = Hate speech
    On this weeks episode I talk about Chelsea Clinton being confronted by university students about her criticism of Ilhan Omar.  Apparently calling out anti semitism means you are also Islamophobic.  I also do a little speculation after the Mueller report wraps up, as well as my Trump Round Up, and Micro Aggressions segments.

  • #30: Wait a second...Michael Jackson was a bad guy?
    On this weeks episode it's movie review week!  I talk about the Leaving Neverland documentary.  How eye opening was it other than just confirming details of what we already knew happened.  I also dive into the critics of the film.  Then I discuss Captain Marvel.  The trolls, the politics, and above all else, the fact that it's just a super hero movie.  I then leave a little time to discuss Antisemitism.Follow me on Twitter: @Nick_Beaton

  • #29: We Did It! But We Still Can't Have Nice Things
    On this weeks episode I talk about the recent campaign to keep the Just For Laughs radio station Canadian.  I also talk about how one comic almost derailed it, why it was awful, but also, why it was handled as well as it could be in the after math.  The Momo challenge, as well as my "Trump Round Up" and "Micro Aggressions" segments.  Follow me on Twitter: @Nick_Beaton

  • #28: #JustForMoney
    On this weeks episode I talk about Jussie Smollett.  And although I thought that was going to be the biggest thing of the week, it turns out Canadian comedy is dying!  Just for Laughs purchased the XM station Canada Laughs, and is replacing original Canadian content with their back catalogue.  I talk about the impact this will have on every comedian in Canada.Please email [email protected] me on twitter: @Nick_Beaton

  • #27: Chair Girl. What else can I say?
    On this weeks episode I talk about the now infamous "Chair Girl."  The blatant stupidity of it, and I dig in a little to talk about a few of the deeper issues it brings up.  I also talk about Ilhan Omar being accused of anti-semitism, as well as my weekly "Trump Round Up" and "Micro Aggressions" segments.  Follow me on Twitter: @Nick_Beaton

  • #26: Don't Throw Out The Liam Neeson With The Bath Water
    On this weeks episode I talk about Liam Neeson and his completely unprompted comments.  Is this a clear cut issue of racism, or is this a teachable moment?  I also talk about Canada being named by a New York Times OpEd as being, "The Moral Leader of the World" but I feel like they missed a couple things.  All that plus my new segment, "Trump Round Up" and as always my "Micro Aggressions".Follow me on Twitter: @Nick_Beaton

  • #25: Let's Talk About Bell
    On this weeks episode I talk about Bell's campaign for mental health.  It isn't all bad, but it isn't all good, either.  I also talk about letting actors act, crazy idea, and The Northam photo.  Follow me on twitter: @Nick_Beaton

  • #24: You Brought a MAGA Hat to a Drum Fight
    What a week!  A kid wearing a MAGA hat looks like the aggressor in a pretty gross video, then when it turns out he wasn't, this information doesn't seem to really matter to the people who still think he's a piece of shit.  I also talk about the government reopening, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and why certain people hate her.

  • #23: The Best Returns A Marketing Move Can Get.
    On this week's episode Nick talks about the new Gillette ad.  There is a good message, there is also some bullshit, and perhaps it's time we stop letting these companies play us like fiddles.  He also talks about the pathetic Michael Cohen, and Ghostbusters 3.
