Hasan and Will are back at it this week, telling us about a tech company that’s been criticized for “digital blackface” after using using white actors to portray people of color to help build — no joke— racial sensitivity. And while we’re on the subject of companies currently under fire for inexplicable conduct, the boys give us their take on the online mortgage lender whose CEO fired 900 employees on a Zoom call. Then Will gives Hasan the lowdown on the time that Kanye West dropped a bomb of a comment on the Katrina Telethon on Live Television back in 2005.
