If you wanna attend the University of Nonconformity, first you're gonna have to learn the rules
After Katie asks Jesse if she did a cancel culture, she takes him on a disturbing and nonconsensual journey involving conservative and possibly Nazi-sympathetic furries. Then the hosts discuss the newly launched University of Austin and the reaction to it from very sane people online.
