Linguist Dr. Caitlin Green joins me for a very cathartic vent session about the mealy-mouthed statements that came out during the long ago times of MacklemoreGate.

In pt 2 we take a closer look at Ed Sheeran’s hollow talking points, and his very funny ‘I am not complicit’ proclamation.

We also take a look at billionaire Robert Kraft’s statement — and in the extended version, we break down both Ricky Gervais’, and Bill Maher’s hypocritical BS on the topic.

After so much vague waffling, we also take a moment to admire Ms. Rachel’s clear & concise words on the topic.
