Show Notes

A couple weeks ago I took to X – and this show – to go after the YouTuber Ms. Rachel. I called her a slop peddler for toddlers. Everything I said about her is accurate: she talks down to her audience, speaks to kids in a way that literally no one ever did just a few decades ago. Her content is garbage and so are her political views. You should keep her as far away from your kids as you can. But it turns out not everyone agrees. We got quite the response. We’re going to go through some of them.
