Ep 601 - Gen Z Whiteboy (feat. Devan Costa & Conner McNutt)

A British man with Tourette's syndrome shouted the N-word at the BAFTAs, sparking widespread debate. The hosts discuss public reactions, with some black commentators believing the slur was intentional despite his condition. They also highlight that other controversial statements (like 'Free Palestine' or homophobic slurs) were edited out, suggesting a selective broadcast choice.

The guest details the Tourette's guy's history of controversial outbursts, including calling the Queen a 'cunt.' The discussion notes that the broadcast edited out other offensive remarks but kept the N-word, leading to speculation about media intent.

The hosts observe a trend among Gen Z, particularly young white men, of casual and widespread use of the N-word online, especially in gaming and streaming contexts. They frame this as a form of nihilism or a deliberate 'taking back' of the word, contrasting it with older generations' outrage.

The hosts discuss how young white dudes 'rip the N-word on the internet' constantly, suggesting it's 'trickling down' and becoming part of a 'say anything' culture. They note that if a 22-year-old white man doesn't say it, it's 'kind of gay.'

A guest details an elaborate scam he ran while working for Uber Eats and Postmates. He would accept large orders, drive a short distance, then call support to report a 'car breakdown,' getting paid for mileage and keeping the food. He did this nightly for months, justifying it by knowing the restaurants were still paid by Uber.

The guest explains, 'you take get an order and then cancel the order and then eat a meal.' He would call Uber support, claim his 'car broke down' or 'engine is smoking,' and receive mileage pay while keeping the entire food order.

A guest recounts his brief, miserable experience working at Abercrombie & Fitch. He was forced to purchase an expensive uniform, then instructed by a gay manager to wear shirts several sizes too small to achieve a 'tighter' look, even posing for an 'employee catalog' in uncomfortable attire. His eventual resignation was met with a condescending remark.

The guest describes being made to buy a $140 outfit, then told by the manager, 'It's not small enough.' He was forced into a small shirt where his 'arm's like cutting circulation off,' and the manager said, 'Perfect.' Upon quitting, the manager asked, 'So, I heard you're too good for the fitch.'
