While Chris Rock is widely known for pushing the comedic envelope, today's podcast discusses if his latest Netflix special, Tamborine, is on-brand or just offputting.
 
Today's episode discusses the psychology of Chris Rock, his commentary on social issues as well as walking the line of controversy in comedy. Our panel of Shrinks talk about their overall feelings on the comedy special, as well as opening up a further conversation on race relations in America.
 

 
"There needs to be a place, and I think comedy is one of the forefronts, where we can use exaggeration, hyperbole, and offense to speak to a larger truth about uncomfortable things that are going on in our world."
