We are talking to the actual founder of the Free Britney movement, Babs Gray!!! She also happens to be the only non-Jew at the JCC, and a genius comedian and podcaster and "woman in body." (Her words.)
We Yenta about:
- Incredibly niche Jewish internet feuds
- Where is Britney now???
- How did we free Britney??
- Empathizing with mysogynist comedy
- Very controversial takes about Jewish scandals (ie Carlebach)
