0:00.0 | Hey guys, welcome back to the show and thank you so much for tuning in. Today we are going to be looking at |
0:12.6 | Hannah Gadsby's latest Netflix special and the increasing racial |
0:16.0 | tensions in the United States. |
0:18.1 | Big yikes, just two very serious and unfunny topics right there. First off, Hannah Gadsby, she is of course the comedian who released Nanette, |
0:26.0 | and a while ago we did do an entire segment on that special. |
0:29.0 | If you haven't seen Nanette yet, I really don't think you need to. It's pretty much just |
0:34.4 | Gadsby yelling at her audience about how sexist and bigoted she thinks the |
0:38.6 | world is. If you ask me, it's actually less of a stand-up comedy special and more of a one-woman |

1:20.4 | funny thing about this segment usually when I review these |
1:23.4 | cringe comedy specials I do watch them in their entirety my tolerance level is pretty high |
1:28.9 | but with this one |
1:31.2 | i just couldn't stomach it i had to bail out part way through which I think is a pretty good |
1:36.1 | indication of its overall quality but before we get into it I want to tell you folks about the |
1:40.8 | CLT or classic learning tests. |
1:42.8 | So the SAT and ACT are usually thought of |
1:45.4 | as just these annoying tests that high schoolers, |
1:48.2 | juniors, and seniors need to take a few times, |
