Mouthy Messy Mandatory

Latest Episodes:

1:22 Roseanne, Everlane, and "Real Folks." Apr 13, 2018

Show notes

Roseanne and Everlane are both selling the idea of "REAL people," but Katie and Ronit aren't buying it.

What is it about companies and networks that use "real" people that rubs the Mouthy team the wrong way? What is Game of Thrones for Kids? And what the heck does Horky Navorky mean? All that and more on this special Friday the 13th/Spring Break ep of MMM.

1:21 Sinclair: YOU CAN DEFINITELY TRUST US Apr 06, 2018

Show notes

In light of the chilling video proving that Sinclair Broadcast Group is distributing propaganda masked as news to at least 40% of American homes, Ronit and Katie take a minute to dig into who SBG is, why this news takeover is scary and worth resisting, and how news organizations can earn - or break - our trust.

PLUS, Ronit drops a bona fide F-bomb on the WaPo essay about 2 culturally Jewish men who didn't marry Carey Purcell (spoiler alert: It was the Jewishness that ruined it! It was all the Jewishness's fault!)

1:20 Who's Afraid of the Parkland Kids Mar 30, 2018

Show notes

Between media-savvy minors and a shame-proof Stormy Daniels, the establishment is BabaSHOOK!

Katie and Ronit don't know why the GOP thinks picking on students is a smart way to drum up support for guns, but Parkland students and their supporters have clearly hit a nerve.

Also! Katie's kids make a cameo in this ep again (#Childcare #TheStruggleIsReal), and we ask ourselves one of the biggest questions in Mouthy history…

1:19 Is Digital Blackface a Thing? Mar 23, 2018

Show notes

Ronit and Katie tackle the idea of "digital blackface." Is it okay for white people to send out gifs and emojis of people of color? Is it "segregation" to ask white people to only use gifs with white people in them? Why do we gravitate toward gifs with black people, anyway?

Also, it's looking STORMY outside! Kickass news from an unexpected source leaves the Mouthy crew cackling over the idea of the mood in the Conway house tonight. PLUS! Hallelujah, male birth control is on the horizon, and stick around until the end for a round of Actual Real-Life Presidential Porn Star Names.

1:18 Are We Bad Feminists? Mar 16, 2018

Show notes

Ronit & Katie ask hard questions like: - What happens when a woman ascends to a position of leadership, but we just don't like her? Are we bad feminists? - Should we just forget about the waterboarding in Gina Haspel's past? - Why are we so quick to pick apart prominent women? - Why is there cheese in our hair?

PLUS! Snapchat comes for RiRi and the Mouthy crew is not having it.

Also, shout out to the student activists who DGAF if they get suspended for marching for their lives! #MarchOn

1:17 Hop Aboard the Woman Train Mar 09, 2018

Show notes

In honor of International Women's Day Katie and Ronit zoom up close on #MeToo and what it looks like outside of Hollywood and white privilege, explain why men aren't stupid, try to fathom how 13 could ever be a reasonable age of consent in France, and revisit Margaret Atwood's "bad feminism". Plus native authors you can read who aren't Sherman Alexie.

1:16 Bitches are Back Mar 03, 2018

Show notes

Monica Lewinsky and Rachel Crooks are back in the news, this time on their own terms, and Katie & Ronit are here for it. These boss babes are done getting steamrolled by handsy Presidents, done getting cyber bullied by Chads with halitosis, done with silence. Yassss queens!

Also, Hope Hicks, mean girls, Ronit's mom and we reveal our top-secret plan for Ryan Seacrest on Oscar Sunday!

1:15 The Mouthy Messy Mandatory Olympics Feb 24, 2018

Show notes

Katie & Ronit go head to head in their own podcast Olympics featuring prank calls, tandem bicycles, Olympic mascots, Billy Graham, candy bars with nougat, the new Black Panther movie and the amazing teenagers of Florida.

1:14 We Love You, We Love You Not Feb 17, 2018

Show notes

Ronit & Katie do some day drinking and discuss problematic favorites from Hollywood to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the Olympic slopes.

Should crappy people be banned from doing jobs that they're really, really good at doing?

Do abusers need to suffer professional consequences for their personal faults?

How do you choose between your values and your heroes?

When did TV and snowboarding get so ethically stressful?!?!

AND WHY CAN'T ALL THE NICE PEOPLE MAKE ALL THE GOOD ART FOR THE LOVE OF MISTER ROGERS?

1:13 A Rose Can't Grow in Terf Feb 10, 2018

Show notes

Rose, we know you're one of the architects of #MeToo and we are thankful. But it's time for you to pass the torch.

***We care deeply about respecting the identities of transgender people and always strive to use appropriate pronouns. In this podcast we discuss allegations made against Andi Dier during a time before she transitioned. We did some research on which pronouns to use in this situation, and after reading conflicting guidelines, used male pronouns. We are 100% open to your feedback if we made the wrong call. Thank you!***

Stick around for a full-blown rage stroke about Quentin Tarantino and our new podcast nemesis.
