Toxic Masculinity And The Autocado

Peach Fish Productions
About this episode

Striking writers have deprived Americans of late-night weather-related jokes, evil characters, and pat narrative. Soon-to-strike UPS drivers will deprive Americans of consumer goods. Which negotiation would you prioritize? Mike has a thought. Also, part two of our conversation with Lexicon Valley's John McWhorter about terms like "toxic masculinity," and how we are now arguing over the words instead of the concepts they define. And finally, Chipotle's "Autocado" is poised to free its employees from … employment.


Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
