Kill The Computer

We talk about Keffal's ~*interesting*~ interview with Keemstar which opened us up to discussing the experience of being a trans person online, Vtubers, how to talk to people about police brutality, then end the episode with a quick Skinamarink review, seeing as we are a very serious film podcast.

The Kabooksters (minus Caleb, get well soon Bird) are joined by Gen-Z TikToker. The conversation centers around faith and the ideas of belief in a higher power. Christian goes in deep on his faith and his thoughts around internet fame. This will be part of an ongoing series of discussions with religious people who exist in online spaces (a specific fascination of Whack's as he is a dirty heathen for whom God will show no mercy). Catch Christian at Oxford Area High School at 705 Waterway Road Oxford, PA on January 20th for a free show if you're in the area. And follow his instagram (mistermccartney.official) and his TikTok (mister.mccartney) Follow the rest of them as well, please: @JUNlPER @WhackNicholson @BirdRespecter

We're joined by Harvard attorney, human trafficking expert, & media person Alejandra Caraballo. We discuss Andrew Tate's feud with Greta, pizza box mishaps, and more.

The dark mistress of journalism pirouettes into our digital studio to discuss her newest story on everyone's favorite liar. We also discuss the discourse and complete the Ableism/Problematic region of the worst posts of 2022 bracket.   This one's got it all. I promise your grandma will call you instead of complaining that you never call her after you download this. This episode is a gift from Krampus and he's usually pretty stingy. All claims made in podcast descriptions are provably false. I am your real father.    Follow them all: Taylor Lorenz Bird Respecter Juniper Whack Nicholson

Caleb wanted to call this episode "Milk Crimes" and that bodes well for his title naming talents, but Phase 2 is here now and you need to be made aware.   Phase Two of Western Kabuki is here. We say goodbye to Nicolas Cage (for now) and hello to our new co-host, Pulitzer prize winning NYT columnist Juniper.   We then tease Bird's upcoming interview with the infamous Cybersmith, discuss the politics of Star Wars, Nazi-furs, Andrew Tate’s influence on schools, and more.   We have a mailbag: leave us a voicemail or text us at (971) 374-2265.   Follow us at: @WhackNicholson @BirdRespecter @JUNlPER

Yeah... I'm thinking this is another episode. Its a covid ep so Whack and Bird are very grateful for Emily carrying the show.   Follow us on twitter: @IHateNYT @BirdRespecter @WhackNIcholson
