S1 E11 Are These Just Jokes?
We’ve enjoyed the good use of humor when it is something that everyone is in on and is not at anyone’s expense. We’ve also been in a room during the uncomfortable or ugly moment when someone is the brunt of a joke meant to hurt or put someone down. In a society where roasting someone is seen as perfectly acceptable fun, or where cultural norms such as playing the dozens or giving family members nicknames that aren’t always flattering are just a part of the culture, where do we draw the lines? Join Dr. Lynne and Justin as they give their takes on where humor and conflict intersect both positively and negatively.
