Episode 33 - No Time to be Offended

Time to start a new week, and the Dudes want to help you get through Monday with some knowledge and some laughs. 

The New York Daily News publishes a cover featuring President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on the back of a horse, and members of the LGBT community are outraged.  The Dudes tackle people being professionally offended and the outrage people are looking for on purpose.    

Ricky Gervais is back at it, and this time he’s being called out for telling jokes about rape and talks about people being outraged at things he tweets.  The Dudes offer an insight, people are taking too many things personally, as if the world revolves around them.  Remember, you can control your reactions to things that may upset you, and despite the notion to the contrary, the universe doesn’t revolve around you.

Animal House is turning 40, and the Dudes talk about how a movie like it cannot be made today. 

A lawyer for former Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner argued this week that his client's attempted rape conviction should be overturned because he was practicing "sexual outercourse," which the lawyer described as a form of "safe sex."  Nick Vicious feels some sympathy for the kid.  Kids can ruin their lives very quickly, and they should think about things before making stupid decisions.
