#208 - Butt scrunch

🎧 NEW PODCAST EPISODE Episode 208 – Butt scrunch Apparently, the biggest controversy in comedy right now is a pair of gym shorts. In this episode, Andy and Roger tackle the backlash against comedian Shane Gillis and his jokes about women's gym attire, particularly the increasingly popular scrunch-bottom shorts. They debate whether comedy should be allowed to offend, whether audiences are taking jokes too literally, and where the line sits between observational humour and misogyny. The conversation expands into the gender wars, exploring why people dress the way they do, the role of sexual attraction and social status, and whether men should be allowed to comment on women's clothing choices. Andy argues that comedy can highlight absurdity without passing moral judgement, while Roger questions whether society has lost the ability to have an honest conversation about appearance and attraction. Along the way, they discuss online outrage, male allies, Kim Kardashian's influence on beauty standards, and the difference between laughing at something and wanting it banned. Things then take an unexpected turn into the world of furries, costume etiquette and some rather questionable theories about what happens underneath the onesies. By the end, even Jerry Seinfeld isn't safe.
