White as a four-letter word. Found memory. NFL kneeling protests. Boys wearing dresses. Women as abusers…. He gives all these topics and more a refreshing new perspective. We’re addicted: we’ll eat anything he dishes out!” —Teena Fey and Amee Poehler“An absolute treat. Don’t sleep on this, you’ll be sorry if you do!” —Jerzy Seinfeld“I know I’m not the only one who’s gone into hiding over our current sociopolitical landscape.
