Episode 188: “Outrage is the nutrient of activism.”

Welcome to the 188^th episode of Our Hen House, featuring Steve-O [transcript].
In today’s episode, we discuss the latest examples of brain-dead behavior from various members of the meat industrial complex. We’ll also tell you about our film shoot for our forthcoming video, “A Vegan Taste of Chinatown.” You won’t believe some of the truly hidden gems we found. Also today, we’ll chat about the meaning of the word vegan; the meaning of the word hypocrisy; and the new meaning we found in a super special kale juice. We may never think of kale the same way again.
Joining us today is comedian, TV host, and “Jackass” star, Steve-O, who will tell us why he’s a passionate vegan, let us in on what items he had to jump through hoops for to get leather-free, and, shockingly, he’ll apologize for some previous behavior involving animal exploitation. Learn why your angry comments to Steve-O changed him forever. Absolutely do not miss this inside scoop. But be forewarned: You may just fall in love with Steve-O.
For our review today, Mariann and I will give you our thoughts on a recent Academy Award Nominee for Best Documentary, If A Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front.
All that, vegan banter, and of course, current events from the world of animal rights.
