Glad you uploaded a video. Interesting topic. I always hear Navajos have the best jokes, but no one ever translates them when they do a joke in Navajo.
Laughter and making others laugh is something that's always been important to me, so I'm happy you can feel how special this episode was for me too! -Chey
Great episode! It really speaks to me because I also use laughter to help cope with trauma. Also, I gotta admit that I laughed way too hard at the chicken "(rap)" joke! 😂
can we get a breakdown of that bingo card? how those issues should be addressed and reported on instead? what are more important issues to report on? and, what cultural highlights need to be brought to mainstream media instead. what education is needed. and how we can solve the issues while promoting culture in a way that is not trying to distract from the action needed. lets imagine a situation where NONE of the bingo topics are talked about.... that's erasure of A LOT of the consequences of colonialism. we where is the proper balance of reporting?
Feel free to cover and address the issues from the result for colonization but also throw in coverage that curves the stereotype. This whole series came from a place of wanting to represent Indigenous communities from a modern perspective. We all have histories and understand the consequences of colonialism, but we're tired of having every story of our people come from a place of trauma. Why can't we have a story of thriving communities without being considered an 'other'? - series director
I didn't laugh once. There was plenty of stoicism on display. I watch black comedians and I laugh hard. None of the humour is tasteful and it 100% effective. Jews have a monopoly on dark humor. I don't dark humour is tasteful either. I think comedy has to be as obscene as the conditions that inspire it. Comedy is not about tasteful good manners. I hope Native Americans have their own Richard Pryor.
Beautiful and nuanced piece of journalism! Bravo
I love this episode! Learning so much from this whole series. And the host, Cheyenne, is so relatable.
The bingo card is so versatile, an excellent tool of both analysis and humor
Humour is ironic because it’s a weapon but it’s also disarming.
_Ayyyyy!_

My grandparents had the best jokes, but most of them would be lost in translation though.

"They only tease you if they like you or love you" yup if we're not laughing at/with you we don't like you.

I'm glad you enjoyed the episode and we all laughed a bit too hard when we we're recording.
Great episode

I always knew Patch Adams had the spirit of the indigenous people
can we get a breakdown of that bingo card?
how those issues should be addressed and reported on instead?
what are more important issues to report on?
and, what cultural highlights need to be brought to mainstream media instead.
what education is needed.
and how we can solve the issues while promoting culture in a way that is not trying to distract from the action needed.
lets imagine a situation where NONE of the bingo topics are talked about.... that's erasure of A LOT of the consequences of colonialism. we where is the proper balance of reporting?

0:36 Haha brilliant
When you laugh at something, it loses all power.
Great message at the end, but those jokes sounded like lame dad jokes Lol
They are laughing because they can't get any madder.
