Keri begins by recounting an experience with a passive-aggressive mask Karen at her local store, and then Carter mockingly celebrates the return to “normalcy” marked by Biden’s airstrikes against Syria. Next, they discuss Rand Paul’s “disgusting” and “transphobic” but completely reasonable and necessary questions to Rachel Levine during this week’s confirmation hearings for the Assistant Health and Human Services Secretary nominee. They contemplate the moral state of a society that forbids questioning the appropriateness of foisting unproven and potentially dangerous medical procedures on children, and then Carter discusses the importance of not tying your identity to your conclusions. They end with a few superchats, touching on Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Superman reboot, the recent Texas energy crisis, and Tiger’s pedigree.
