Charlie Kirk, Epstein's Birthday Book & Phillies Karen

This week on Copeland’s Corner, Brian Copeland is joined by comedians Cathy Ladman, Ritch Shydner, and Blaine Capatch for a lively and thoughtful roundtable. The episode opens with a somber reflection on the breaking news of Charlie Kirk’s shooting, sparking a nuanced discussion about political polarization, violence, and the state of free speech in America.

The panel then dives into a variety of current events and cultural topics, including:

• The viral “Phillies Karen” baseball incident and the dangers of internet mob justice
• The release of Jeffrey Epstein’s 2000 birthday book and its implications for Donald Trump
• The cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show and the intersection of politics and media
• Florida’s controversial stance on childhood vaccine mandates
• The rise of AI, job loss, and the changing economic landscape
• The “locked-in effect” of divorced couples living together to keep low mortgage rates

The gang also share personal stories, career reflections, and plenty of laughs, from mistaken identity tales to memories of the stand-up comedy boom.
