159: r/changemyview Part II : An in-depth discussion about the semantics of 'White Trash' in America (seriously)
10/18/20 • 74 min
As promised, on this episode we follow up part 1 of r/changemyview with a more thorough understanding of the sub by way of one of the community's rising stars - u/itsyerdad. Since part 1, dad posted a CMV that became quite a lightning rod for the community, so in this episode, we discuss what we learned from the discussion, what we find powerful about the community because of the discussion, and ultimately the topic itself, CMV: The term "White Trash" is under-discussed for how truly offensive and derogatory it truly is in woke/class-aware culture.

158: r/changemyview Part I, and Brad Pitt smells bad but also maybe good according to u/myfreeday's wife
CMV : Brad Pitt Looks Like He Smells Like An Old Bottle of Brut. That is the kind of stuff you will find on the absolute powerhouse of a subreddit r/changemymind, where truly civilized debate takes places among the many perspectives that walk the halls of RedditHS. In this, part 1 of our look at r/changemy view, we explore some of the culture behind the very popular sub, some of the commentary, and set the stage for a second episode focussed on our own CMVs (hint, u/itsyerdad's went slightly viral this week). Plus, a brief mention of Pence's fly, and an alternate theory to the Pit bread empire's testy family drama.

160: r/commercialsihate, leave Lily from AT&T alone, and weaponized eyesight.
In this episode, DYR put their day jobs at risk to complain about Lexus ads. We all have a commercial or two we hate, and a commercial star we deeply crush on, and r/commercialsihate is the perfect outlet for the former. Plus, itsyerdad weaponized his eyeglasses to seek revenge on myfreeday for an unknown act of treason. This episode brought to you by Lexus, whose cars can successfully slip on bananas, or something.
