But he's uh, 29 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.480 he's good now, Like, didn't hear a peep. I think 30 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:48.680 he's terrifying. That's the way we like it. But that's 31 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:49.599 what keeps it fresh. 32 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:52.400 I'm very uncomfortable this morning. I'm trying not to move 33 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.159 too much because you'll hear the jangling of my mammoth tusks. 34 00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.760 I mean, yeah, that's that the term you use for 35 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.879 though Yeah, yeah, okay, all right, never heard them called that, 36 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:07.400 but that Ross had to build a time machine to 37 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.639 get those.

He has a man bun 56 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.199 or a top nutt thing going on. He doesn't really 57 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.400 turn his head so that I throw that out there 58 00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:31.400 just to get the h the desires flowing. So resist 59 00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:38.240 those urges. Okay, resist those urges. Here we go with 60 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:39.759 mister Morales. 61 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.159 And that happens at the same time as the myths 62 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.039 around America that we grew up with that we as 63 00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:50.599 men are expected to be protectors and providers are going 64 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.159 out into economy that doesn't really allow for that, especially 65 00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:58.479 for working class folks, and sort of like compounding on that, 66 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.639 you know, masculin as a trope has been co opted 67 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.439 by the maga write is something that feeds into and 68 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.319 exacerbates the loneliness epidemic as well as the mental health 69 00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:11.680 crisis that many face that end up leading to really 70 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:12.759 destructive behaviors. 71 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:14.199 We aren't the. 72 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.079 Only ones that are hurt by these things. Black and 73 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:21.079 brown people, lgbt QIA plus people, especially trans women and 74 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:25.519 Indigenous people, and you know, all sorts of other folks 75 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:29.800 in our society open historically and often still today are 76 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:35.600 marginalized in being hurt, demonized, and you like marginalize even furthers. 77 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.279 I don't know. By the way, I just built an 78 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.079 a frame. While he was talking, Russel backed me up 79 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.079 on this. What yep, Yeah, I'm working on my PhH 80 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.920 Now he's trying to build a bigger one. 81 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:55.480 I'm working on my forge back here making some swords. 82 00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.839 That is awesome. That's a that looks like the Klingon weapon. 83 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:05.199 Yeah yeah, it's it's a bat left oh man swinging 84 00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:06.199 that hammer. 85 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.639 Needs some fire sound effects. What is the what are 86 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.560 you talking about? Sir? Now? Look at look he's now. 87 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.800 When he wants to talk about the ability within the 88 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.680 economy for there to be a single worker to support 89 00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:22.800 an entire family, it is more difficult. The math bears 90 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:31.319 that out. But the manhood trope, what is the manhood trope? 91 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:35.519 I need to know, I know what is the manhood trope? That, 92 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.879 by the way, has been hijacked from you. So what 93 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.240 he's saying is he is the epitome of manhood. But 94 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.160 now when people think of manhood they think of you know, 95 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:50.360 Ross with his forge, me with my a frame. The 96 00:05:50.519 --> 00:06:00.240 idea that a man can be a protector, it's it's 97 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.560 it's sheer absurdity. And this isn't the is what is 98 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.040 the stupid trend? On tick train? Remember the New York 99 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:08.360 Times did they did a big piece over the weekend 100 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:11.839 because some woman used to be a ballerina and then 101 00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.000 she married a dude and they had like eight kids, 102 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.199 and they got a ranch out in the middle of nowhere, 103 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.720 and they're all smiling and happy and doing their thing, 104 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:22.240 and she's beautiful and he's tall and handsome, and they're 105 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.240 too airyan looking for the New York Times and that 106 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:30.120 they did a feature on these people, and absolutely it 107 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.240 was a weekend of just trashing on him. She was 108 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:39.800 a Juilliard He made her give up her dreams, like 109 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.879 like it was some sort of Handmade's tale come to 110 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.000 light right and instead you just yeah, I read a 111 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.199 little bit of it because it's paywalled, but I saw 112 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:54.480 some of the excerpts. Everyone sounds happy. Everyone sounds happy. 113 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:59.319 You know why, because sometimes you take a different direction 114 00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:03.519 in life and it requires you to not continue on 115 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.160 a direction you were going, and you have to make 116 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.519 that decision. As an adult, you make that decision, do 117 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.240 you all? Do you regret it? Sometimes? Yes? I didn't 118 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.399 get the impression they did. But this guy claiming that 119 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:21.000 they had a lot, you know, a lockdown on manhood 120 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:25.040 and then it was the trope. But by the way, 121 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.199 it's not a trope, it's a thing. It's not a 122 00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:31.600 trope that they had a lockdown on manhood and then 123 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.639 the right came along and stole it and bastardized it 124 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:38.079 and made it something that wasn't. And this is not 125 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.639 to say, by the way, that people who who are 126 00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:46.720 Trump supporters can also be people that you would consider 127 00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:54.399 how do I say this? More traditionally manly or have 128 00:07:54.680 --> 00:08:01.120 you know, would would exude manhood or manliness which, by 129 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:04.920 the way, manliness is almost something different than manhood. It's 130 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:07.199 more of a manifesting of it. Whereas when I think 131 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.199 of manhood, I think of people who it's not about 132 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:15.360 understanding a role, but they understanding the importance of filling 133 00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.759 that part of it right, and whether it is in 134 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.800 a relationship, whether it is in society, whether it is 135 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:28.160 in you know, interacting with friends around them. And there's 136 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.920 a lot of things that can be manly that watching 137 00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:34.519 people do them, it doesn't look very manly. And there's 138 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:39.240 things that aren't traditionally manly that can be I guess 139 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:42.519 or at the very least not detract from it. Like 140 00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:45.639 I made fun of this due with a top knot. Okay, 141 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.759 he looks like he looks like a loser with a 142 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:55.799 top knot. But there's some guys who can pull it off. Whatever. Fine. 143 00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.639 I know, forget Jason Momoa a politics, but that dude 144 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:04.080 walks into a room wearing a top knot. You're not like, 145 00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:06.879 look at the little girl, right, And that's just the 146 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:11.080 physical outwardness. But I'm talking about what it means to, 147 00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:14.360 you know, be a provider if you need to be 148 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:18.559 the provider or one of the providers, but also the protector, 149 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:25.480 to be chivalrous when necessary, a trait that is being 150 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:29.879 beat out of men many times by the women who 151 00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:32.480 this guy would attempt to surround himself with, who put 152 00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:36.320 him in the friend zone. Over at the Purple Hair rally, 153 00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:39.200 somebody wrote online that this guy could get friend zoned 154 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:44.519 in a brothel. I laughed, that's funny because it's true. 155 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.679 But I don't need a lecture from you know, Captain 156 00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:51.159 manbun here about what it is, because it's not the 157 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:55.159 same thing for everybody. It's like that judge said about pornography. 158 00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:58.600 You just know it when you see it. But they're 159 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:02.159 wanting to create this, this divide because it wasn't just 160 00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:06.720 this lunacy yesterday. No no, no, no no. It was 161 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:12.279 also people who are now having a problem with the 162 00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:16.440 rights kind of manliness, and they decided that the person 163 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.519 they want to attack for all the wrong reasons, as 164 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.120 though he is the lone arbiter of manliness is Hulk 165 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.200 Hogan because he was at the Trump rally, which, by 166 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:32.559 the way, the owner of the Detroit Lions had Hogan 167 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:35.240 at some event, some charity event, and a bunch of 168 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:37.440 moonbats came out mad as hell because they want to 169 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.720 cancel Hulk Hogan. The irony, of course being you guys 170 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:45.159 could have canceled him for things over the years. You didn't. 171 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:49.720 It wasn't until he and Peter Teel destroyed Goker that 172 00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:51.360 he was really back on your radar. 173 00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:53.480 They've been trying to destroy Hogan forever. 174 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:54.320 Yeah. 175 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.159 The problem is you get him down the mat and 176 00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.120 you're like it's over, and then he starts to hulk 177 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:00.240 out and he starts to shake you ever seems shake 178 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.039 like this, Yeah, I have stand at somebody stares at 179 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.200 you and he's shaking. He's moving his head back and 180 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:10.240 forth and yeah, yeah, boom dropped the big leg. Good luck. 181 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:18.240 How how triggered are you by Hulk Hogan? I will 182 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:20.960 share a story with you. The answer is apparently very 183 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.639 triggered because he was he was at the Trump thing. 184 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:26.360 He was. 185 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:29.399 It's so dumb, like like, listen, Hulk Hogan. 186 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:33.559 It's like he's he's a character. 187 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:35.480 He's I was about to say, it's like saying you're 188 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.759 getting triggered by like some other big hero from the 189 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.799 eighties like Optimist Prime. I'm sure I'm triggered by he 190 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:42.720 Man or Lionel. 191 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:51.120 Mmmm mm hmm. Well, I mean he Man is right 192 00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:54.960 there in the th Man, right he Man, I mean 193 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:59.879 the sheer audacity of having two male descriptors as your name. 194 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:04.639 That has to be triggering to the women. You know, 195 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:10.679 the purple haired protests women, They just can't deal. This 196 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:13.200 is so stupid. And if this is who is your 197 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:14.840 arbiter of manliness? 198 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:17.960 And that happens at the same time as the myths 199 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.720 around America that we grew up with that we as 200 00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:24.559 men are expected to be protectors and providers. 201 00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:31.919 You know what, Let's put this dude in a field 202 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:35.080 and I don't know, pick one of the women from 203 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.399 the women's event, and we'll put some wolves in there, 204 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.919 and we'll see who she expects to handle the wolves. 205 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:46.000 He won't because he won't have any idea. But I think, 206 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:49.000 all of a sudden, I think when there's wolves about, 207 00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:56.159 people's preconceived notions tend to fall by the wayside. Seammy 208 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:57.840 looking at him, like, what do you gotta do something? 209 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.600 We got wolves. Shit, they're so dumb they'd probably try 210 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:03.440 to take a selfie with them. But there you go. 211 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:08.159 All right, ladies, I'm gonna ask you this, those of 212 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.559 you who haven't, you know, left your families to go 213 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:15.279 find this guy to be with him, would you rather 214 00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:20.960 pretend you're single and ready to mingle. Okay, there's a 215 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:24.720 thought exercise, and you can either go to the the 216 00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:32.480 White Men for Kamala fundraiser last night, albeit virtual, but 217 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:34.480 let's say it was in person. You can either go there, 218 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:38.440 you know, to find yourself a bow. Or you can 219 00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:46.159 go to the RNC after party where Hogan and Kid 220 00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:48.320 Rock and all of them are hanging out. Plus you 221 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:53.799 know the whatever dudes were attending there. Let me know. 222 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:59.639 I'm I have a prediction, but only time will tell. 223 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:01.320 All Right, gonna get Ross to build me a sword. 224 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.440 We'll be right back, apparently. The hijacking by the Right 225 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:12.039 of It Okay, and hul Cogan, David French, who's an 226 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:15.840 absolute lunatic. He's he was kind of leading the charge 227 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:17.600 on Twitter the other day, but he's not the only 228 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:20.679 one they've been. They've been very upset over Hogan, like 229 00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:27.720 he went to like a kid's Yeah kids cancer fundraiser 230 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:34.159 in Detroit. He's he's showing up to raise money for 231 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:38.080 kids with cancer, and they protested him. And then they 232 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:41.200 want to protest the Detroit Lions, which I would understand. 233 00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:48.519 Screw the Lions. Sorry Vikings fan here, but you can't 234 00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:54.559 you protested a kid's cancer thing. I guess people don't care. 235 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.159 I don't know if you heard during the uh the 236 00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:04.120 Israeli football sizes me soccer match, the crowd screaming Hyle 237 00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:09.080 Hitler during it at the Olympics yesterday. So this is 238 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.679 where we are absolute lunatics. But yes, David French very 239 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:19.200 upset and Hull Cogan because he showed up at the 240 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:23.960 RNC because he tore his shirt off. Whatever he is now, 241 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:27.919 he now has to be canceled. And as Ross pointed out, 242 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:30.279 good luck, good luck with that. What are you gonna 243 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:32.919 hit Hogan with? And one of the things, if you 244 00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:36.360 don't know the story, it's delicious. It's one of my favorite. 245 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:41.960 It's up there with the why is his name escaping me? 246 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.440 This war? Who had the stupid flag? That four chair 247 00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:48.960 Reddit tracked Shi La Buff? Yeah, look excuse me Lebouf 248 00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:52.720 Shilah Buff story with what happened with his we will 249 00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.200 not we will not submit stuff. That's that's one of 250 00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:03.000 my favorite stories. And then that and then the well 251 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:06.360 I was gonna say the the dude with the dolphin story, 252 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:08.840 but that's just my favorite recurring audio. And if you 253 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:10.840 don't know what that is, weight it will eventually be 254 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:14.039 presented to you. But for those of you who don't 255 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.440 know what happened to Gawker, which was an absolute rag, 256 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.879 was Hulk Hogan and Peter Teal. You know how much 257 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:25.960 say hate Peter Teal because he is a tech bro, 258 00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:29.639 he is a Trump guy. He was given a cabinet position, 259 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.639 except he was not recognized because we have to do 260 00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:36.159 these things as the first gay cabinet member, right the 261 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:39.679 Biden administration decided the Buddhajic was and so did the media. 262 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:44.360 Even though Peter Teel is incredibly gay and he's out, 263 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:48.919 but he wasn't always out, and because there was, there 264 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:53.000 were inklings for years the till was both gay and 265 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:58.320 also conservative. Gawker just couldn't deal with that. And so 266 00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:01.600 what did they do? They him, which I thought was 267 00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:06.319 a major offense. They outed Peter Teel years ago and 268 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:10.839 he's a billionaire, and you know what he did. He 269 00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:16.240 waited and he sat there and every day he had 270 00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.920 a team of lawyers combed through the crap that Gawker 271 00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:24.319 was printing until they could find a case that they 272 00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:30.160 knew could be used to destroy them. This is evil, 273 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:35.359 genius crap, but all earned Okay, says, and then they 274 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:37.400 just hammered on till and they did a Teal and 275 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:40.720 they did this, and then one day Goker got a 276 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:44.599 hold of the Bubba the Love Sponge whole Cogan video. 277 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:50.039 And if you don't know what that is, basically, Bubba 278 00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:53.039 the Love Sponge's a radio host down the Tampa area. 279 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:57.599 He was friends with Hogan who lives in the Tampa area. 280 00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:02.279 And Bubba's ex wife was there and Hulk got with 281 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:04.640 her and there's video and all that. So it's like, 282 00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:09.880 it is what it is, okay, and they they put 283 00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:12.480 the video out, they did all this stuff, and that's 284 00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:15.759 when till just A Teal decided, you know what this is? It? 285 00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:19.839 So Teal and his lawyers reached out to Hulk Hogan 286 00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:23.799 and said, hey, you should sue him into oblivion. And 287 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:25.680 Hulk's like, I don't have the kind of money to 288 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:29.240 fight these guys, and and then Teal's like, I'd like 289 00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:33.960 to introduce myself. I'm a billionaire. And Teal funded Hulks 290 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:43.000 lawsuits and destroyed Gawker. Ah, such a refreshing story. Sorry, 291 00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:45.599 I love it. I love it. And you be like, oh, 292 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.279 you hate the media, Yes, a lot of them. I do. 293 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:51.440 But in this case, I don't even consider goker media. 294 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:54.559 That's a gossip rag and it's a dead gossip rag. 295 00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:57.680 And every one of those writers over there, if you like. 296 00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:01.200 I used to comb through it day during my prep 297 00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:03.720 cycle and it was like it was like you drop 298 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:05.759 something in the trash and I got to dig through it. 299 00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:09.119 That's what it felt like. So they earned everything that 300 00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:14.039 they got. So if that didn't destroy hul Cogan, good 301 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:20.279 luck with that. Trump is masculinity is rooted in grievance 302 00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:24.720 and anger. David French rights, a democratic alternative should be 303 00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:28.920 honor and courage. Do you think honor and courage don't permeate? 304 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:36.440 Are you familiar with the quote unquote rights relationship with 305 00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:38.440 the military, And when I mean the military, I mean 306 00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:45.480 the real military, not having to sit there and piecemeal stuff. 307 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:47.720 And it has to be a very selective slice of it. 308 00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:49.720 And let's throw a bunch of people out who we 309 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:51.640 now are trying to recall. I don't know if you 310 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:55.200 know this. They're basically willing to re implement Navy seals 311 00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:59.720 who were booted or other special operators, and it basically 312 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:02.440 bunge the whole. He wouldn't take the vaccine thing from 313 00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:05.200 the record, which makes a lot of people very nervously 314 00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:07.240 Why you're getting all these guys back all of a sudden, 315 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:13.599 like you changed your mind on this stuff. But the left, 316 00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:16.920 when you get into the honor and courage thing, that 317 00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:20.119 is not a hallmark of the of the left traditionally. 318 00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:25.960 It doesn't mean that there are not honorable people getting 319 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:29.799 harder to make that argument sometimes, but if you wanted to, 320 00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:32.319 when you want to discuss it as a hallmark of 321 00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:35.480 a large group of people, who's going to be showing 322 00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:39.920 up for the veterans fundraiser, probably a bunch of people 323 00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:43.599 who are Trump voters. That's the reality. I've been to 324 00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:46.920 one hundred of these things. Even when they're built, they're 325 00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:49.559 not even build politically, not even through my show or 326 00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:53.279 something like that. They're just build very generically. It's almost 327 00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:59.960 exclusively people on the right showing up solutely. This is 328 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.960 the revisionist history that you saw with the audio we 329 00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:07.480 played to open the show from the Captain manbun There. 330 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:12.920 Whether we're going to reinvent masculinity is about two things. One, 331 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:17.720 it's it's about revenge. I think in some cases, I 332 00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:21.279 think Captain manbun So wanted to be masculine and it 333 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:23.440 just never worked out. So now he's got to destroy 334 00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:26.559 what he he never was able to achieve. But that's 335 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:30.519 a personal thing, and I'm throwing accusations there. I don't 336 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:36.720 know if that's what motivates his week behind. But the 337 00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:41.759 other thing is, if they control what is masculine, anyone 338 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:44.799 who is appearing to be more masculine must be an 339 00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:47.720 absolute terrorist and a problem. And the guy kind of 340 00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:50.279 says it in there, right, And then they turn into 341 00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:54.799 loaners who were running around and white supremacists and they 342 00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:58.640 all moved to Courtelaine, Idaho, and it's all crazy and 343 00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:01.880 that's going to be a heavy ironically enough, and I 344 00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:04.160 don't see him getting there. But if this is where 345 00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:06.920 they want to start, I'm here for it. From the 346 00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:09.519 New York Times, if you ever wondered whether the Republican 347 00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:13.480 Party sees itself as the party of men, I invite 348 00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:18.319 you to rewatch the r NC Prime Time featured a 349 00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:22.920 rousing speech by Hulk Hogan, a song by Kid Rock, 350 00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:27.799 and a speech by Dana White. Then they give descriptors 351 00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:31.400 of them chief executive of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Those 352 00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:34.680 were the warm up acts. Before Trump delivered his acceptance speech. 353 00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:40.839 It also included a speech by Peter Teel and a 354 00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:47.000 speech by Franklin Graham. And who was the woman who spoke? 355 00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:49.079 There was a woman who spoke in there, and I 356 00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:50.839 forgive me on I had the list in front of me. 357 00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:54.960 But but those are the three you seeeson? Okay, but 358 00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:58.039 what kind of men were featured? They're all rich and 359 00:22:58.200 --> 00:23:02.160 powerful in a long time I'm fan of professional wrestling, 360 00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:06.279 or as a longtime fan of professional wrestling, do you 361 00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:10.440 believe for a moment that David french is along was 362 00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:13.400 down with Hulkamania in the eighties? 363 00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:15.319 Right? 364 00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.680 Do you think he was cheering on Andre the Giant? 365 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:22.400 I don't believe you. I don't believe you for a moment, 366 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.480 But whatever. I loved watching Hogan as a kid, But 367 00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:28.680 none of them are the kind of men I want 368 00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:32.279 my son to be. White was caught on video slapping 369 00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:35.799 his wife. Kid Rock has his own checkered past, including 370 00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:39.160 a sex tape and an assault charge. Yeah, he got 371 00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:43.000 into a fight at a strip club with another dude, 372 00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:46.880 and I think the dude hit him, was his claim, 373 00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:49.720 But there was I can't remember the whole story, but whatever, 374 00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:56.319 Hogan faced his own sex scandal. Yes, because your allies 375 00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:58.640 in the media got a hold of his tape and 376 00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:03.519 published it, which led to them being sold for parts 377 00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:08.960 you absolute goon. So yeah, this is They're coming at 378 00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:11.759 it from a bunch of different directions, and I guess 379 00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:16.119 a Whole Cogan and Kid Rock and Dana White are 380 00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:18.839 everything that's wrong with it. And here's the irony. You 381 00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:20.720 don't have to like any of them. You can have 382 00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:22.799 a problem with that Dana White video a lot of 383 00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:27.920 people do. You can. You can have a problem with 384 00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:34.519 Whole Cogan based on steroid use, which you know, I 385 00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:38.119 would understand that you can have a problem with Kid 386 00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:43.839 Rock based on that haircut previously, whatever it is, but 387 00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:48.880 that wasn't the totality of it. And this idea that 388 00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:51.319 all of a sudden you're going to redefine it and 389 00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:54.200 people like this idiot are going to be the arbiters 390 00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:55.599 of manliness, and. 391 00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:58.640 That happens at the same time as the myths around 392 00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:02.160 America that we grew up with that we as men 393 00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:05.680 are expected to be protectors and providers are going out 394 00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:09.200 into economy that doesn't really allow for that, especially for 395 00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:13.440 working class folks and sort of like compounding on that. 396 00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:17.559 You know, masculinity as a trope has been co opted 397 00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:21.240 by the magarite is something that feeds into and exacerbates 398 00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:24.680 the loneliness epidemic as well as the mental health crisis 399 00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:27.680 that many face that end up leading to really destructive behaviors. 400 00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:29.960 So why is it, by the way, that when you 401 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.839
