Hello and welcome to the waves for Thursday, December 5th, the so long Kamala edition.

I'm Christina Kauderucci, a staff writer at Slate and host of the Slate Podcast Outward.

I'm Marcia Chathland, a professor of history at Georgetown University. I'm Nicole Perkins, writer and co-host of Thursday 8th, and I'm Gene Thomas, Senior Managing Producer of Slate Podcasts.

Before we get started today, I want to remind all our listeners to call in for our annual

call-in show.

We're going to be answering your Is It Sexist Questions?

Please leave us a voicemail at 973-826-0-318.

You can also, if you must, email them to thewaves at slate.com. The deadline for those is

December 15th. We've already gotten a couple good ones. And I'm looking forward to seeing what

y'all send in. All right. Our topics this week, we are going to start with Kamala Harris,

who dropped out of the Democratic presidential primary this week, just yesterday, actually, as of this taping.

Then we're going to review Frozen 2, the new sequel to one of the most popular princess movies of all time.

And finally, we'll talk about Black Friday, the ever-expanding holiday where we celebrate reduced price retail.

And Nicole, what is our Slate Plus segment this week?

For Slate Plus, we're going to ask is sassy mom gear sexist.

And for those who are unfamiliar, sassy mom gear is t-shirts, apparel that says stuff like this mom runs on coffee, wine, and Amazon Prime.

So here's a clip from that.

It's very hard for me as someone who, until I was about 35, always wore a t-shirt with like a slogan on it to be like too judgy about this.

Was it like, L-O-L. I need a margarita.

That kind of thing.
