How To Survive Thanksgiving & LGBT Politics - Scott Capurro - #405

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Howdy friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Scott Capurro. He's a comedian, writer and an actor. We're talking about how to survive Thanksgiving and LGBT politics. I needed some advice on how to get through my first Thanksgiving in America, and also to try and make sense of what I've been seeing since I've been out here. Scott started shouting things about the British, but I do think he tried his best to help. Today, expect to learn why Scott got banned from australian TV, why the Women's March sent out a problematic email, how the internal politics of the LGBT community are messed up, why a focus on race is causing people to ignore real issues of class, the best way to avoid causing a ruckus during the holidays, and much more. Don't forget that if you enjoyed Monday's episode with Adam Lane Smith, then I put a full list of all of the uncomfortable truths that we went through, including a breakdown of them, on the Modern Wisdom Locals page, so you can join now for free by going to modernwisdom.locals.com.
