Is Shia LaBeouf canceled?
03/02/21 • 53 min
If you're vaguely aware that Shia LaBeouf has been up to some outright heinous behavior but you can't be bothered to Google his name, Ramneet's got you covered. Our hosts also channel their lifetimes of wisdom to wax philosophical about the nature of forgiveness.
This episode includes descriptions of intimate partner violence, including physical abuse and sexual assault. Do what's right for you. For some people, that could be listening with a friend, listening in a familiar and comfortable environment, or skipping this episode altogether.

Are memes canceled?
Meme responsibly! There's more to memes than meets the eye, as Jared and Ramneet will explore herein. Jared talks painfully slowly in parts of this episode, so play at 1.25x speed if you must.
- Buzzfeed's Internet Live event in 2019
- The Alma article referenced about the alt-right origins of a popular meme
- The Teen Vogue article referenced about digital blackface
- A Time profile of Brittany "Broski" Tomlinson (in which the details differ slightly from what Jared shares)
- Jared ended up going in a more obvious direction with his "There She Goes" meme idea, and it did not go viral. Oh, at all.

Is RuPaul canceled?
"Based on the judges' critiques, I've made some decisions. RuPaul: In the TV Legend maxi-challenge, your rising tide lifted all boats. But tonight on the runway, you left us capsized in the Hudson. I'm sorry, my dear, but you're up for cancellation."
After discussing RuPaul's messy history with trans inclusion, fracking, and weird egotistical nonsense, will Jared and Ramneet tell the legendary drag queen and reality host "Shantay, you stay," or will he be asked to sashay away once and for all?
* A messy RuPaul interview in The Guardian
* The "trains" tweet is gone, but screenshots are forever.
* The Buzzfeed profile featuring the iconic "capsized in the Hudson" anecdote
* Gayest Episode Ever's excellent interview with writer Stan Zimmerman
