Summary

Negin is joined by Bob the Drag Queen and Youngmi Mayer as they discuss a group of camels who were disqualified from a beauty contest because of Botox usage (i.e. our google search, Attractive Camels). Then the panel discusses the CEO of Better.com's decision to fire 900 employees over Zoom and why Jeremy Strong's profile in the New Yorker reminds us that method acting is a group project.
