In my one and only episode of listening to them, in the first three minutes they said "Taylor Swift announced she's battling an eating disorder", and the other host chimed in with "yeah, I thought she'd been looking fatter".
I mean I think their audience is just idpol idiots who are sick of being "tone-policed" or believe the world is too PC now. Nonsense of course but if you want to hear someone see how offensive they can be while calling it social commentary this is the podcast for you. That genre of "being mean is actually just being honest" comedy is so grating to me. Any harm they do is erased by them claiming to be ironic or not political or whatever the fuck. The eating disorder stuff is the most personally offensive to me honestly because you can pretend nothing matters and everything is fake but why weaponize that to scar the psyche of young woman who listen to your podcast. IDK it's bullshit.
I'm with you. It's unnecessary cruelty in a world that isn't exactly kind to begin with. And the edgy "I'm gonna say the gamer word" humor is deeply uncreative.
Totally. Also literally everyone else either developed empathy and never had that phase of humor or got over it by HS. It's incredible how delayed the mean = funny is in these people.

That set the tone, for sure.

That's a bad look.
