Episode 74: Toxic Dish—Sinéad O'Connor Was Totally Justified in Her Pope Moment

Last week, phenomenal singer, songwriter, political activist and survivor Sinéad O'Connor passed away. In 1992, she ripped up a picture of the Pope John Paul II on SNL and shouted "Fight the real enemy!" It caused a hullabaloo because, omg, God. But she had her reasons. Good ones. Jenna and Amanda discuss. 

We're also talking about Prager University, not a university, whose tagline is "Make kids racist again" and its infiltration into Florida elementary schools. 

And finally, a court in Italy ruled a 17-year-old wasn't actually sexually assulted because the school janitor's in-pants groping of her only lasted about 10 seconds and apparently, only 11 seconds of touching causes trauma. Courts! So smart!  

If you're a victim of sexual assault, please consider reaching out to the National Sexual Assault Hotline online or by calling 800-656-4673.
