644: Pink Jeans, Catfishing, and Violent Art

Published: Sept. 1, 2022, 4 a.m.

b"Today begins with a hilarious story about pink jeans that neither one of us saw coming, but, boy, are we glad it did. And it made us wonder if you keep an array of jeans' sizes or just one size for every day. Susie discusses the documentary about Manti T'eo who was catfished by a trans woman and it almost ruined his life. We talk about the reasons it happened and why Manti was victim blamed. Susie's mom had an experience in a unisex bathroom that got her furious about urinals, and we need to hear your opinion on the matter. We learn about a Black couple who had their home appraised and then reappraised after removing any evidence of Blackness from the space, which resulted in a near double appraisal value. A Brainiac told us about an artist who allowed people to use various items on her body in any way they wanted, and how it devolved into a mob mentality. We discuss how that happens, and why it made them not see her as an actual person. Susie describes a new documentary on Princess Diana, and how messed up the British monarchy can be.
