This episode was made for video for a visual component, but the commentary is all here! Bella and Melissa play "match that bio to the Tinder profile". Don't worry, we left faces and names out and chose different cities across the US. Then we go through the app store and found some 18+ apps that were quite eye opening. Profiles include: bragging about eggplants, submission holds, asian pen pals, failed comedy, cats and a "proud creator of 6 single moms". Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for...

F, Marry or Vote: Obama, Trump, and Biden. You know the game. But we switched it up to avoid a visit from the FBI and used "vote" as the third option.

Melissa and I talk showbiz offenses and the rules that have changed since the 2000s. Comedy can be hard to defend for some, but for us, it is all about context. You can't cancel ALL the moments in pop culture that are definitely offensive today, but a movie from 2008 versus a movie released in 2023 has so many more rules to avoid the public backlash that could result in boycotts, apologies and broken endorsements. Some can be defended, others… definitely not. But as long as people learn and acc...

We aren't there just yet, but it seems to be moving way faster than it started. Bella ...

Chris Rock made Netflix history with his highly anticipated stand-up special, "Selective Outrage", as the first comedy special to be streamed live on the platform. "Selective Outrage" was also highly anticipated for another reason - revisiting the infamous Oscar moment where Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. It had everything to be expected from a Chris Rock stand-up special - good, bad and ugly. JP joins me for a conversation about the topics covered through the jokes, as well as the role of "wok...
