Long time listener of the pod, recent TL nosey hole, first time poster…
Firstly, I’m genuinely gutted for the galz and dyyyyying to know what went down!
Always found Jenny the more relatable of the two, Lindsey has always been a bit conflicting for me but she has provided most of the LOLs over the years…
And that’s the bit I wanted to comment on. At the heart of Itgalz is comedy but that’s not all it’s about. I sense L feels that apologising for offending goes against what she believes in as a comedian and in a way, I get that. What is comedy if it’s to be censored?
However with all due respect, she’s not Ricky Gervais. Stand up comedians don’t ‘build communities’ where they give relationship advice and discuss the psychological affects of being raised under a strict religion for example… expect to be taken seriously on these topics and then when a heavy topic like race comes up, lean in to their comedic side to cover their orses?
I think a break to gather herself on what her act / job is going to be going forward might have helped her avoid this spiralling negativity. It seems that trying to keep momentum has been a bit too much to handle.
I wish them both well and hope they both find happiness in whatever they end up doing
