Episode 5: Katie And Jesse Decide Who Is Valid: After Katie almost destroys the podcast with her wanton use of the worst slur in the English language (or any other), the cohosts discuss an outrage story about Canadian military pronouns and Alex Berenson's coronavirus contrarianism. Jesse then tries to unpack Online Validity Discourse, leading the cohosts to discuss questions like "What does it even mean to be valid?," "How many people can you have sex with before you're not asexual anymore?," and "Would Jesse dress better if he were gay?" The show ends with a brief chat about the show's possible Patreon future. by Blocked and Reported
