The Hipster (derogatory) Grifter (complimentary) Part 1

Kari reveals she is The Hipster Grifter. Henry talks about starting antidepressents and mistakenly says Don Cheadle was the principal in the movie Mean Girls(0:00). Youngmi and Henry quiz Kari on Korean words that are borrowed words from English(24:40). In part 1 of the interview, Kari talks about the events in her young life that led her to becoming the main villain of New York City in the aughts(39:58). In an era where genpop did not know what 'hipster' or 'grifter' meant, Kari became the introduction to both of those words for many people. The hosts discuss how different the perspective was back then, because Kari- a struggling young Korean girl who stole very small sums of money from white trustfund artworld nepo baby dudes- was painted as a villain by Vice Magazine (derogatory), when in today's political climate, she would be seen as a folk hero.
