'2 Dope Queens' Is on The 100 Best Podcasts of All Time
For nearly three years in the late-2010s, BFF comedians Phoebe Robinson and Jessica Williams hosted 2 Dope Queens, the Webby Award-winning comedy podcast produced by WNYC Studios that tackled subjects like race, gender, and sex in hilarious ways. The unfiltered conversations the pair would have alongside guests, who ranged from comedian Michelle Buteau to former First Lady Michelle Obama, would focus, often very loosely, on a running topic like 'Hair' or 'Fifty Shades of Matthew McConaughey' or 'Hot Peen,' the title of a 2018 episode featuring Tituss Burgess in which they chatted about the men they lust after. The goal of the podcast, which grew out of their weekly live comedy show, was not only to make these thorny subjects feel less taboo, it was also to pass the mic to comedians and storytellers from marginalized groups—women, people of color, the LGBTQ+ community—who did not often get the chance to appear on the late-night shows hosted by straight white men. 2 Dope Queens ' commitment to helping others feel heard resonated with listeners, who turned it into one of the most popular and critically acclaimed shows of its time, spawning a series of HBO live specials, many of which were directed by frequent guest and bad advice giver Tig Notaro. By the time Robinson and Williams ended 2 Dope Queens in 2018, they had broken the podcast landscape wide open, giving way to an entire genre of shows that blend comedy, social commentary, and female friendship. Extremely dope.

Bill Maher slams woke mob over Sydney Sweeney jeans ad controversy
HBO 'Real Time' host Bill Maher ripped into the woke mob for branding actress Sydney Sweeney a Nazi — all because she joked about having 'great jeans' in a new American Eagle ad. 'In other uncomfortable racial news, sad news, we found out this week that Sydney Sweeney is a Nazi,' the late night funny quipped Friday night. 'No she's not, but you've seen the ad … This a very important ad that we're seeing now, there she is dressed like Jay Leno in all blue denim.' HBO 'Real Time' host Bill Maher slammed the woke mob Friday for claiming actress Sydney Sweeney is a Nazi — because she boasted about having 'great jeans' in an American Eagle ad. AP 'And she talks about the fact that she has blue eyes and then says she has great jeans, you know, because she's wearing jeans!' goofed Maher, referring to the ad's pun of the word 'genes' made by the blonde-haired, blue-eyed 27-year-old Euphoria star. 'But according to the woke people this means she's a white supremacist.' Actress Sydney Sweeney shows off her 'great' jeans in American Eagle ad. American Eagle Then Maher landed a savage blow. 'It also doesn't help that her bra size is 36KKK and that the name she gave her tits is the 'Proud Boys,'' he said. 'I also like it's pretty funny that all the online social justice girls are like 'it's racist, there is no such thing as good genes. Right, and then you go on Tinder and swipe left on every bald guy.' American Eagle's stock rose more than 10% immediately after Sweeney's campaign launched July 23. The White Lotus actress has yet to respond to the backlash caused by the new 'Great Jeans' campaign.
