Katie and Jesse are purportedly against cancel culture, and yet they’ve cancelled this show. The hypocrisy is stunning.

I don't want to engage in any crazy speculation but I think it was aliens

Since cancel culture doesn’t exist, I’m assuming this was a case of antisemitism and homophobia.

I think you mean Islamophobia (for Katie).

I was really surprised that any elite private college would have been willing to host Katie and Jesse in the first place, so I am VERY eagerly awaiting the fuller story here.

"We did some back of the Google Map napkin research and concluded that to get to fucking Dartmouth college which is in Hanover New Hampshire, requires driving through fucking Lyme, Grantham and the borough of Backdildo, New Hampshire which is inhabited by gun wielding furries on acid. We must inform you that Katie has concluded that she would rather stab herself in the temples both sides simultaneously whilst also putting literal darts through her literal mouth on the road with Jesse to Dartmouth than to actually spend all that time with Jesse in the same vehicle on the road to Dartmouth. So, we canceled the show before they could cancel us." #fixed

Cancel culture strikes again.

I clicked as fast as I could, but I knew I didn't get here in time to tell this joke. To be fair, if they were actually cancelled, it would make for a great episode.

I booked my flight and hotel for the Arlington shows. Zoomer brats better not derail my mf plans. I’ve already got my Katie costume assembled.

I'll be in Arlington too! It better not be canceled.

Here I am assuming things. I’m a cynic, what can I say.

I think a lot of us around here are!!

I'm hoping for a benign explanation for this cancellation (i.e. Carole Hooven has a can't miss dental appointment ) but that is likely just wishful thinking. Having followed such matters closely the last few years, my unfortunate supposition is:

1. Student group (or sometimes a University department/program) invites a heterodox or "conservative" speaker

2. Woke students start complaining, saying that Dartmouth should not offer a platform for transphobia/racism/misogyny/homophobia etc. etc.

3. Woke students announce that they will protest at the venue

4. University administration starts worrying about a repeat of Charles Murray at nearby Middlebury (a faculty member was physically injured running from the mob)

5. The administrators don't want to be the bad guy who bans campus events so they come up with this weaselly way out: "In order to have your event, you must pay for additional security officers - here's the quote for an outrageous amount of money that you don't come close to having, especially a student group"

The "cost for additional security" excuse has become popular among university administrators who mouth the right platitudes about academic freedom and freedom of expression. But when the rubber hits the road, they decide it's not worth it to stand up to the woke mob.

Universities really need to start suspending students for literal harm and physical violence/destruction.

Sources say there's a warrant out for Jesse in NH. He is alleged to have stolen my heart.

Katie got busted driving through the Midwest? Because that was a huge worry for a friend driving back east in the fall from a pot farm in CA. His van had to be outfitted with specific compartments.

Expand full comment

Did you start fighting in the way there and turn the car around?

Expand full comment

very plausible theory, see my note below

Expand full comment

Katie’s van broke down and jesse got food poisoning from a college vegan food truck

Expand full comment

You guys are so negative, maybe something beautiful in their lives happened. Maybe Katie found and adopted an orphaned Alpaca and Jesse met a girl and got laid. Priorities, people!

Jesse already has a horse—I MEAN girlfriend.

Expand full comment

Who, if I remember correctly, also has a PhD in modelling!

Expand full comment

Yes, she lives in a group home for troubled supermodels.

Expand full comment

I think he said his horse lives in Canada

My plausible theory: maybe they ran away together to live in one of those coffee igloos wearing bikinis. So now they're a family of soyboy cis man, lesbian badass, and unneutered AMAB dog who has decided they want to transition. It was the only way...
