EP40 - To Laugh or Not to Laugh: Comedians, the Modern-Day Prophet

[This episode with Joey Svendsen, Amy Alderman, Hayne Griffin, Robbie Madison, and Stoy Prioleau, was produced by Joey Svendsen]

The three videos discussed in this episode can be found here: video, video 2, video 3.

Some deep sharing on this episode, Hayne talks about the anger he lives with and Robbie shares how as a child he was discouraged from being proud of anything.  The five talk about standup comedians, Hayne likening them to modern-day prophets, highlighting their importance in society.

Joey presents a couple of jokes he saw on instagram, one was a story by a comedian about a family member with down syndrome, the other was a black male mocking the voices and facial expressions of white college, female students. Can comedy go too far?  Is every topic fair game to laugh at?  Is there a "right way" to make fun of anything?  Recently on a text feed amongst the podcast host team, Amy thought Hayne made a "fat joke" about her and even though he didn't, Amy shares why she wouldn't have objected.
