Today we're looking into a recent story about a college volleyball player who claimed that someone in the crowd continuously yelled a racial slur while she was playing. The problem? It didn't happen. Then, we talk Meghan Markle's interview with the Cut, in which she seems to compare herself to Nelson Mandela, and explain why she should stop trying to play the victim and the hero at the same time. We discuss how the American Academy of Pediatrics is still saying that kids should be wearing masks in schools despite all the evidence to the contrary. We look at the devastating long-term speech issues that forced mask-wearing has created for children. Lastly, we'll take a look at two women who claim that if you have a problem with your spouse going to strip clubs, you're the problem. We explain why this is a terrible, sad take.
