They talk about the history of the take and why it’s become a running bit, and why it shouldn’t be taken too seriously.  Then they address bad takes, and why “cancel culture” isn’t coming for comedians the way it did a few years ago (12:30), why Jerry Seinfeld’s comments were tone deaf, and they debate how it’s affecting the current era of comedy (19:00).  Finally, Colin explains why Caitlin Clark doesn’t need the media to protect her (27:30) and why the WNBA will finally “arrive” into more mainstream sports culture (34:00) Don’t forget to check back for part two of the conversation with Nick!
