It Ain’t Easy Being Bean

This episode was originally supposed to be a Patreon exclusive, but Whack's on vacation so you're getting a look behind the scenes. We finally finish off the insane discourse tweet bracket, which leads to Caleb opening up about a dark moment from his past.

Drama Alert

We talk about Keffal's ~*interesting*~ interview with Keemstar which opened us up to discussing the experience of being a trans person online, Vtubers, how to talk to people about police brutality, then end the episode with a quick Skinamarink review, seeing as we are a very serious film podcast.

Bonus: A Conversation with Christian McCartney (mister.mccartney on TikTok)

The Kabooksters (minus Caleb, get well soon Bird) are joined by Gen-Z TikToker. The conversation centers around faith and the ideas of belief in a higher power. Christian goes in deep on his faith and his thoughts around internet fame. This will be part of an ongoing series of discussions with religious people who exist in online spaces (a specific fascination of Whack's as he is a dirty heathen for whom God will show no mercy).
Catch Christian at Oxford Area High School at 705 Waterway Road Oxford, PA on January 20th for a free show if you're in the area. And follow his instagram (mistermccartney.official) and his TikTok (mister.mccartney)

The Brothers Tate ft. Alejandra Caraballo

We're joined by Harvard attorney, human trafficking expert, & media person Alejandra Caraballo. We discuss Andrew Tate's feud with Greta, pizza box mishaps, and more.
