    #763 - Coleman Hughes - Bringing An End To Race Politics

    Coleman Hughes is a writer, an author and a podcaster.
    The state of race relations in America seemed to be improving for decades, then crashed and burned over the last 5 years. What's going on? Why is everyone so obsessed with race again and how can we move beyond race politics?
    Expect to learn why anti-racism is just neo-racism, the difference between being colourblind and actually being racist, why your social class is more important than your ethnicity, whether MeToo hurt women more than helping them, if there is a realistic case for DEI, whether any race-based policies have ever worked and much more...

    #762 - Mark Normand - Secret Hollywood Rituals, Shane Gillis & Toxic Masculinity

    Mark Normand is a podcaster, actor and a comedian.
    Is Hollywood a secret cabal of child-eating sorcerers? It might be. Mark has spent enough time in its orbit to know. And if nothing else he can riff on some good theories for 2 hours with me.
    Expect to learn what Mark thinks of the downfall of NYC and Bail reform, why the resurgence of Shane Gillis on SNL might not be the death rattle for woke culture, how Mark remains positive in the middle of negativity, if he's worried about being deplatformed, his thoughts on what is considered offensive in Hollywood, the one word you can never say to an American and much more...

    #760 - George TheTinMen - Why Does No One Care About Men’s Mental Health?

    George TheTinMen is a content creator, a writer and a pro-men’s advocate.
    Men's mental health is in the toilet. 80% of 18-24 year old suicides are men and 15% of men say they have 0 close friends to call on in an emergency. So why does it seem like the world doesn't care and just thinks that men are still the benefactors of a patriarchy they no longer feel a part of?
    Expect to learn why Drake's dick pic leak was such an important cultural moment, whether Billie Eilish is right that men don't receive criticism for their bodies, the reaction online to a new study saying that men need 2 guys' nights per week, what Are We Dating The Same Guy is, whether men have reproductive rights and much more...

Red_loves_ChrisWillX ,

The best show.

This show is the best.
Thx for it.

Love Red.

Amara 85 ,

Dr Phil? C’mon!

Generally a big fan of the content Chris covers but whatever Dr Phil was spouting tipped the scales. Much of it was factually inaccurate and the rest was nothing but hysteria.

Chopper_1942 ,

Awesome show

Such an awesome show, Chris is such a great host. Very informative and inspiring.
