We also discuss YA fiction, Harry Potter, The Fast and the Furious, Kids, Euphoria, The Left Hand of Darkness, and more!

People are mad at Jake for making fun of a rich comedian who blocked him online for undiscernible reasons. We talk about that, as well as Jake's overall theory of the multi-level-marketing-scheme-esque dynamics that cause comics to turn a blind eye to shitty behavior in the "community."

The One Where Jake Gets Attacked Again

Guy Debord's Society of the Spectacle, a little Latour, serial killers, the Oscars, EEAAO, Nope, Chris Rock's Selective Outrage, Marlon Wayans' God Loves Me, and what really is comedy anyway?

The Spectacle of the Slap

Recorded October 26, 2023 with Sameer Mon and Gabriel Pacheco of Halal Cartels (@halalcartels)

The response from Israel post October 7th has been devastating on civilians, especially children in Palestine. Gabe and Sameer have Luisa (their favorite guest) from Why You Mad podcast to talk about the current climate in the United States and abroad.

They discuss the immediate McCarthyist attempts at silencing people who question the indiscriminate killing of civilians by Israel as "self defense" in the entertainment industry (among many others). Also up for discussion: various attempts at pink-washing and delegitimizing protest to attempt to force Americans to acquiesce and allow a genocide. 

We urge you to do the reading regarding this subject matter, the kind one used to do at a library, not the kind people do on Instagram via memes.

Sameer talks about how Joe Biden spit in the face of Muslims and Arabs across the US and how, as a community, he has seen them vow not to vote Democrat ever again.

They also discuss the article from the New Yorker about Hasan Minhaj and how it was a hit piece along with his response video with receipts.

Some immediate moves you can make to help:

Demand an immediate ceasefire by calling an writing to your reps. https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/resource/call-congress-support-ceasefire/

Educate your family and friends about the evils of the occupation.

March at protests, speak up online.

Donate to families in Palestine https://irusa.org/middle-east/palestine/
