EP. 830: CONFESSIONS OF THE HIPSTER GRIFTER ft. KARI FERRELL

Adopted at a young age by a Mormon family in Utah, Kari struggled with questions of self-worth and identity as one of the few Asian Americans in her insulated community, leading her to run with the “bad crowd” in an effort to fit in. Soon, stealing from superstores turned into picking up men (and picking their pockets), and before she knew it, Kari had graduated from petty theft to Utah’s most wanted list. Though Kari was able to escape the Southwest, she couldn’t outrun her new moniker: the Hipster Grifter.

THE CHAMPAGNE ROOM: LEFT APOLOGIA FOR EMPIRE & CONVICT CUTIES
The hosts dive into the absurdity of leftist defenses of Trump's actions in Venezuela, lampooning Geopolitics and their critics.

The panel debates the ethics of sharing videos featuring incarcerated women, examines societal norms surrounding violence and punishments, and reflects on the strange obsessions with true crime. They also discuss body image and the evolving dynamics of dating and money in relationships.
