Episode notes

Listen to our previous episode, episode 21, our graduate school, when Tamler goes on his rant about this sorority girl. It's a celebratory, celebratory spiel with lots of emotion. He calls her a civil rights visionary. Usually I don't find you all that funny. But if you remember the Lenny Bruce clip and we played this on our episode with Dmani McDowell. The reason he wants to use it is to drain all the poison out of it.

In what might very well be the last episode before we're pulled off the air, Tamler outlines his data-free "theory" of what makes something offensive. What makes a joke about race, ethnicity, gender, disability funny sometimes, and deeply hurtful at other times? What makes Louis CK so goddamn funny and Andrew Dice Clay just...an asshole? Is Family Guy racist? Throughout the episode, David defends the victims of hatred and is a voice of empathy and reason, while Tamler drops the c-word multiple times, jumps to racist conclusions, and makes fun of David's partial Arab heritage.
