    Regarding Frankie's first Harry Potter joke, there are some fan theories on the web that say Harry Potter is actually suffering mental trauma from child abuse in the Worsley house, and so Hogwarts is just a fantasy where his mind mentally 'escapes' in order to cope with living in a cupboard and being mistreated.

      The comedians get the topics for Scenes We’d Like To See before they go in the show so they’ve got stuff ready. They know roughly what news topics will be discussed, and when they do the Wheel Of News most comedians incorporate a little bit of their recent stand up into it. It’s not fully scripted but they’re given a lot of time to prepare.

      what "bigoted crusade"? Because she won't lie and tell them they're literally the same as actual women who have lived their entire lives as women and have been socialized as women? Sorry, but the trans activism the US is pushing is anti-reality and constantly lies about and demonizes women who are hurt by them to portray themselves as victims.
