Seven degrees. Yeah, 45 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.800 that's all I have to say about that. Seven degrees. Yeah, 46 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:45.319 yesterday we did drive around, we went and sell Kathy 47 00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.680 and it was fourteen degrees. The whole trip. 48 00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.280 Yes, Spur not a huge fan. 49 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:56.479 No me either. So it's been a minute. 50 00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.560 It has been a minute. Well, it's been officially two 51 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:01.719 weeks since we last. 52 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:06.800 Recording, I think. So. Yeah, we're recording here Sunday, February eighth, 53 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:11.000 in the year of Someone's Lord, twenty twenty six. Right, 54 00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:15.080 oh God, so lots has happened? 55 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:19.840 Yeah, has happened? Is happening going to happen? Well? 56 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.199 Yeah, I mean we keep saying, this is the design 57 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:31.400 to just exhaust you with absurdity. We don't be distracted exactly. 58 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:33.000 Eyes on the prize and all that. 59 00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.000 Keep asking for those files. 60 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:41.719 Yeah, the unedited ones, and we keep and the stuff 61 00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.319 that I have learned wish I didn't. 62 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:48.080 Know, right, you know, the one thing I saw and 63 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.199 I did not look into this at all, and I 64 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.199 think we will talk about a story. But doctor Ting, 65 00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:00.400 who is a renowned gender affirming surgeon and New York 66 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:05.919 I believe he works out of Mount Sinai. He is 67 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:10.439 apparently named right. There are some emails back and forth 68 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:15.199 or whatever, and I've heard a couple of different things 69 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.920 because so I again I didn't read it myself, but 70 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:20.480 Elizabeth and I were on the phone, and she said, yeah, 71 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.959 you know, his name came up, and immediately he said, well, yes, 72 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.920 I knew him. You know, I guess he had done 73 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.279 some plastic surgery because that is how he started out. 74 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.279 For either him or others in his circle, I don't know. 75 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:38.759 And you know, he was invited to Epstein's Island and 76 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:41.800 he said, I went there with my wife and children. 77 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.920 He wasn't even there, like at no time was I 78 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:49.000 ordering up you know, underage sexual partners. Anyway, that's what 79 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:54.279 he is saying. And you know, so Elizabeth was just saying, 80 00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:57.480 you know, it's like I wonder how many people are 81 00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:03.279 peripherally mentioned. And I had seen something similar about JK 82 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:08.399 that Shay had said. You know, it's not what people 83 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.920 are saying. It is as much as we hater, like, 84 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:15.079 let's not create news, right because because that's what they do. 85 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.959 Just because you're mentioned in the Epstein files only means 86 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:21.639 that your name came up. It could just be you know, 87 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:27.279 documentation of a conversation or an innocuous email like basically 88 00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.839 they're releasing everything. 89 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.279 Right and and you know this is and then I 90 00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:35.000 saw like right after that, it did come up, you know, 91 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:38.079 on our weekly call and we chatted a bit and 92 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.399 I just relayed what you know, Elizabeth had said to me. 93 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.399 But then I saw someone posting on Facebook who should 94 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.399 know better. You know, if you were planning on going 95 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.600 to doctor ting, you know, just cancel that surgery and 96 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:53.920 go hear here or hear And it's based on what right, 97 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.639 based on Like again, I you know, I need to 98 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.079 read more of it, but the thing I'm talking about 99 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:05.720 it at the moment is just that immediate. If the 100 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:10.279 name is there, right, it must meet. It all means 101 00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:11.759 the same thing, right. 102 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:13.519 Everything doesn't hold the same weight. 103 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.000 Right, And these are loss and lots of documents. They 104 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:19.759 all do not pertain to sex trafficking as far as 105 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:25.000 I understand it, because it's like all correspondents right, right, 106 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.120 That's what I'm saying. So yeah, so I'm sure at 107 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:30.000 some point, you know, I don't know, he emailed his plumber, 108 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.240 but he wasn't hooking the plumber up with thirteen year olds, correct. 109 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:38.040 He reserved that for Donald Trump well and others who 110 00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:38.839 we know that about. 111 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.920 It's because of all the extra nonsense going on that 112 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.720 the plumber's attention was necessary, I'm. 113 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.920 Sure, right, And again I didn't read King's statement. But 114 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.759 you know, the person who I certainly trust who did 115 00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:59.759 said this all makes perfect sense. You know that unless 116 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:04.639 they're proof otherwise, this is entirely plausible. So I just 117 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.879 don't want to see people, you know, doing that. M 118 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:13.879 Yes to say what because he he also solicited him 119 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:18.360 for donations to his transgender practice and clinic and all 120 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:23.519 of that, right, So that's burning the profits of our oppressors, right, 121 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:28.319 one can help, right? So yeah, I just as these 122 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.639 things come out, and hopefully they do, they're continuing because 123 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:33.879 even though that they've passed the legal time when they 124 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.560 were supposed to be released, you know, so every delay 125 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:42.759 is a problem and illegal. But uh, you know that 126 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:46.480 we take it in its totality and and you know, 127 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.800 but try not to comment on things we haven't read. 128 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.959 And I'm just saying, like, take a take a deep breath, right, 129 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:54.160 you know, because. 130 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.240 The ship that actually is being said it is bad enough. 131 00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.680 Oh absolutely, And I'm not saying that a lot of 132 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:08.240 it isn't salacious, but it is it is possible that 133 00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:14.120 all of it isn't right, you know. So, and I 134 00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.199 don't know, I don't know any of these people personally. 135 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.839 I just you know, ching has been a pretty excellent 136 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.120 surgeon for a long time, you know, for the trans community, 137 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.959 and to just try to eliminate him from the face 138 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.839 of the map because his name was mentioned and to 139 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:36.600 give him no credence at all seems much. Yeah, because 140 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:41.440 it's a broad brush and things are bad enough that part, 141 00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:44.279 when we're looking at the truth, we don't need to 142 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:46.759 embellish it, and we certainly don't need to create more 143 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:49.679 where it's not there. Yeah, And there's something. It was 144 00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:54.080 something about Jk's yacht or somehow you know. It was 145 00:08:54.159 --> 00:09:00.320 also evidently from again something I read in passing something innocuous, right, like, 146 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.679 I don't know she lent him her billion dollar boat 147 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:05.960 because his was in the shop. I don't know, something 148 00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:08.559 like that. But you know, it wasn't more than that 149 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:10.399 kind of a something, Right. 150 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:14.720 Just because she keeps shitty company doesn't mean that she's. 151 00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:16.840 Yeah, she gives us plenty of reasons to hate her 152 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.559 without having to manufacture at part. Don't have to manufacture 153 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.080 a thing that part. Yeah, we have had some some 154 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.879 notable deaths we have Lord. The first one at the 155 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:34.840 end of January, Shirley Rains, Yeah, was fifty eight. She 156 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:39.159 had a nonprofit called beauty to the streets. And she 157 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.639 was well known for distributing food and you know, personal 158 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:47.200 care supplies, et cetera to the homeless community on skid 159 00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:48.960 Row in Los Angeles. 160 00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:53.919 Yeah, I showed you a video of her that I 161 00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.440 came across on social media where she was she had 162 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:03.360 like containers take out container of prepared food in bags 163 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.600 with with napkins and plastic were and everything all tidy 164 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.200 and together. And she would just stop in an area 165 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.279 where there's a significant amount of unhoused people and let 166 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:17.080 them know she was there, and they would come up 167 00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:19.200 to the car and she would like, you know, give 168 00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:22.799 them some food and a and a kind word. And 169 00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:26.240 it was just a wonderful thing. Like at one point 170 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:28.559 she was like, I see you don't have to run. 171 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:30.519 I'm not going nowhere, like you know, she it was 172 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.559 just a beautiful thing. And that's what she that's what 173 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:34.879 she dedicated her her. 174 00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:38.679 Time to, right And I remember, you know, us kind 175 00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:42.360 of having that side conversation about is this exploiting people? 176 00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.919 You know, like, but it never felt like that to me. 177 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.399 It didn't when you when you kind of watched her 178 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:51.240 interact with folks. And I do believe a lot of 179 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:55.200 it was filmed, you know, to to increase both awareness 180 00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:58.159 and the humanity of these people, as you know, as 181 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.759 well as to keep the money flowing right to you know, 182 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.759 make this a bigger and broader effort. She was living 183 00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:09.240 in Las Vegas, I believe, you know, and also active there, 184 00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:12.360 really surprising to a lot of people. You know, she 185 00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:16.720 had quite a story on her own. And you know, 186 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.080 they would offer makeovers and stuff to women, unhoused women 187 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:26.399 to help to transform the way the public views the unhoused. 188 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:31.799 Yeah. I used to see watch those videos too, and 189 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:36.000 they were beautiful because you'd see these women who like, 190 00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:39.320 you know, the time they spent on the street, like 191 00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:42.759 it showed on their face, in the way they carried themselves, 192 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:47.279 and once they were able to see themselves on the outside, 193 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:51.960 the way they remembered themselves on the inside, it just 194 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.440 the energy just lifted. It was so beautiful, and you 195 00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:00.320 know she was able to do that for people. Mean, 196 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:02.440 it's not something that a lot of people would do. 197 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.600 Yeah, it was a wellness check that found her. One 198 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.519 of her daughters had been trying to get in touch 199 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.639 with her all day and called in a wellness check. So, 200 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:17.120 you know, rest in power there was one quote that 201 00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:18.799 I had wanted to read. One of the things I 202 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.279 wanted to do was change the face of homelessness, and 203 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:25.080 I thought I was going to do that through hair 204 00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:29.200 and all these things. She had told People magazine in 205 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:33.200 twenty twenty. But I soon understood we needed to change 206 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.639 the narrative of what homeless means. Just because they're without 207 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:42.440 a home does not mean they're without love. They are homeless, 208 00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:45.240 but a lot of them are not jobless, A lot 209 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:51.120 of them are not kidless, phone less, or family less. 210 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.440 There are many levels of poverty, as there are many 211 00:12:54.519 --> 00:13:00.279 levels of wealth. Yeah, yeah, so she really did try 212 00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.960 to do some good work. Just it was shocking, you know, 213 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:05.519 to a lot of people to hear this because she 214 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.519 was only fifty eight, I know, which is very young. 215 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:12.399 I know. I'm just going to say, especially from where 216 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:17.320 I am for real though, Catherine O'Hara, I know this one. 217 00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:19.240 Hit heard this one hurt me. 218 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:24.519 Yeah, she was seventy one. This was another shock, you know. Again, 219 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.240 at the end of January, all we know, I think 220 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:29.960 still all we know is there was some kind of 221 00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:32.480 a brief illness and she was taken to the hospital 222 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:38.279 where she died. You know, known for Shit's Creek and 223 00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:45.600 Beetlejuice Home Alone at mockumentaries like Best in Show, where 224 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:47.440 she also worked with Eugene Levy. 225 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:52.279 She was one of Christopher guests, like consistent players. 226 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.600 Like her in house. And you know it's funny because 227 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:59.919 she did come from Second City TV SCTV, right. Yeah, 228 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:04.840 she was Canadian born in Toronto in nineteen fifty four. 229 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:11.960 And yeah, the Second City Theater company she had started 230 00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:15.399 as a waitress there in Toronto, and you know, wound 231 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:19.759 up a player. You know. The theater's legendary talent includes 232 00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:25.559 Stan Ackroyd, Joe Flaherty, and Gilda Radner, yeah, who was 233 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:30.919 a family friend. When she auditioned, Flaherty had some discouraging feedback. 234 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.759 He said, keep up the good work your day job, 235 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.919 I mean waitressing. Wow wow. Yeah, she had told people 236 00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:40.720 she didn't listen, and she landed a spot when she 237 00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:45.799 auditioned again. She joined the company in nineteen seventy four. 238 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.080 One of her stage mates at that point was comedian 239 00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:53.159 Eugene Levy, who would become one of her closest friends 240 00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:54.679 and collaborators. 241 00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.240 I do think of them together in my head. 242 00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.759 Oh, because they were, you know, in so many things 243 00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:07.559 to other absolutely, absolutely, Yeah, it's uh that hit hard 244 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:08.639 for a lot of people. 245 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:12.200 She was another one of those people that whatever she 246 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:16.120 was in, no matter how good it might have already been, 247 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.480 was made better by her presence, you know what I mean. Like, 248 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.320 I think the first thing I actually remember her from 249 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:24.360 is Beetlejuice. 250 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.960 Okay, I remember her first?

Since since we last sat down to record, there 404 00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:14.440 was another murder by ice in Minneapolis, a white man 405 00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:21.680 Saturday the twenty fourth, Yes, a nurse, Alex Freddy. Again 406 00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:25.440 video there is video footage. He was trying to help 407 00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:31.559 another woman. He did have a holstered weapon, which he 408 00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:33.559 told them he had, which he told them he had, 409 00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:36.160 and which was legal. He had a permit to carry, 410 00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:40.000 to open carry and you know, remember good guys with 411 00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:44.559 a gun, remember all that. Yeah, So I. 412 00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:47.359 Saw the video and in the video his hands were 413 00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:51.359 up and away from that weapon. Then they shot him. 414 00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:54.440 They were not in danger, No, they were not. This 415 00:24:54.599 --> 00:25:00.559 was murder. This was homicide execution, Yes, as was the 416 00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:05.599 last one. Yeah, he was an ICU nurse, thirty seven 417 00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:09.400 years old. You know, so many lives came out of 418 00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:14.039 this administration directly after his death, you know. And it 419 00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:17.119 really is so Orwellian having them basically say, what are 420 00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:19.079 you going to believe your own eyes or us? 421 00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:20.160 Exactly? 422 00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:24.119 Because yeah, and so many mega idiots and bots and 423 00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:27.880 whatever the hell I'm saying on the internet, they will 424 00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:34.039 take any story and go with it, you know, and 425 00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:40.839 listen to these absurd justifications and twists and turns and 426 00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:43.440 then parrot them. And they just keep doing It's what 427 00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:46.200 they've been doing to trans people this whole time, and 428 00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:49.000 they've been doing it about that and it's absolutely imporrant. 429 00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:54.119 What has been interesting in the wake of all this 430 00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:59.119 is this has put the gun lobby at odds with 431 00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:02.519 the White House, uh, because you know, they tried to say, well, 432 00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:05.880 he had a weapon, as if having a weapon is 433 00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:09.279 a reason to be murdered in the street. Right, Yeah, 434 00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:12.759 that goes against everything you said you stood for, right. 435 00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:17.240 And interestingly enough, it didn't work the way they're used 436 00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:25.400 to it happening when the person that they've killed was black. Yeah, yeah, 437 00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:31.240 just saying, just saying. The actions of Trump's federal agencies 438 00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:37.279 have drawn fierce criticism, even from former presidents, who traditionally 439 00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:41.920 do not speak when they're out of office about current policy. 440 00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.000 But Barack Obama and Bill Clinton have both been loud, 441 00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:49.880 and so has George Bush at times. Yeah, but America 442 00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:52.880 is a powerful pro gun lobby, the NRA. 443 00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:57.960 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I never thought that I would agree 444 00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:01.640 with them about anything. They're consistent, and a lot of 445 00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:04.319 people said, where's the NRAA right? You know, you've got 446 00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:06.640 a sitting president. Basically he's saying he wants to take 447 00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:09.440 your guns. He always said it would be a Democrat. 448 00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:13.519 It's not right, No, it's it's this dude. You all worship, 449 00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:17.079 but the worship is changing. And you know, we've got 450 00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:19.240 a couple of stories that kind of show that because 451 00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:22.799 the way that that elections are going, et cetera, more 452 00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:25.160 and more people have had it with all this nonsense. 453 00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:31.039 And then the other people are really like doing yoga 454 00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:35.680 twists and turns to get themselves behind him at this 455 00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:40.559 point and still be supportive and say supportive things. It's insane. 456 00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:43.920 Since his killing, a lot of attention has focused on 457 00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:48.200 his gun. Carrying a handgun, whether openly or holstered, is 458 00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:52.319 legal in Minnesota, and Preddie had a license for his gun, 459 00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:56.319 so he was perfectly within his rights to be carrying it. 460 00:27:56.599 --> 00:27:56.839 Yep. 461 00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:00.480 Yeah, they never pictured liberals carrying guns, but some of 462 00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:04.400 us do, right, just like Keith Water. And there is 463 00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:08.039 nothing to suggest from the footage that he attempted to 464 00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:12.680 draw it or use it while being tackled by agents. 465 00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:14.319 But he was letting them know that he had it. 466 00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:18.720 They wouldn't be surprised, right, and also so that you know, 467 00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:21.680 no one could say, well, they planted it on him, No, 468 00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:23.119 it's mine, I have it. 469 00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:26.240 Yeah. In the United States, the right to keep in 470 00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:29.759 bare arms is the second Amendment of our Constitution. It's 471 00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:32.839 a pretty big deal to a lot of people, especially 472 00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:37.440 we thought conservatives. Right. So when various figures in the 473 00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:43.039 Trump regime suggested that the agents had been justified in 474 00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:47.839 shooting pretty because he was carrying a holstered weapon, that 475 00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:52.559 they provoked outrage from gun rights activists. Many of those 476 00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:57.359 people are usually on the same page as the White House. Yeah, yeah, 477 00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:02.480 they're not right now. First was FBI direct Cash bettel Ye, 478 00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:07.319 who told Fox News, you cannot bring a firearm loaded 479 00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:10.240 with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you 480 00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:14.839 want dead. Wrong, replied the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus and 481 00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:18.559 the group Gun Owners of America. You're legally entitled to 482 00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:19.920 bring a gun to a protest. 483 00:29:20.359 --> 00:29:21.680 Tell that to Kyle Rittenhouse. 484 00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:27.839 I know, and you know, their hypocrisy is just on 485 00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:31.680 full display the more of these things that happened. You know, 486 00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:35.039 do we all remember them celebrating Kyle Rittenhouse? 487 00:29:35.359 --> 00:29:35.960 They still are? 488 00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:40.519 Yeah? Yeah, And that was totally illegal, cross state lines 489 00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:43.519 with it. All of that was not okay. But oh yeah, 490 00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:44.400 they called him a hero. 491 00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:45.279 Yeah, they still do. 492 00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:49.680 He's a hero. What he was was a racist white boy. 493 00:29:50.160 --> 00:29:54.680 Another one, Yeah, yet another. A Trump appointed district attorney 494 00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:57.799 waited in arguing, if you approach law enforcement with a gun, 495 00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:00.759 there is a high likelihood they will beat LEA hadn't 496 00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:05.759 shooting you? What right? This did draw rebuke from the 497 00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:11.880 nra M. This sentiment is dangerous and wrong. Responsible public 498 00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:14.599 voices should be a waiting a full investigation, not making 499 00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:22.279 generalizations and demonizing law abiding citizens. Yeah, there's abundant video 500 00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:26.920 evidence that Prettie was not handling his gun. Irresponsibly. He 501 00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:31.319 was not waving it around, He wasn't threatening anyone, nope. 502 00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:33.680 In fact, he wasn't even touching it. 503 00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:35.039 Nope. 504 00:30:35.160 --> 00:30:38.759 He didn't approach the federal agents they appeared to pile 505 00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:43.119 on him, yep. And he was disarmed of his holstered 506 00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:46.359 weapon by one of them before. 507 00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:47.640 That was the other thing. 508 00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:48.440 He was killed. 509 00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:51.039 He had his hands away from his weapon the entire 510 00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:55.599 time they took it off of him and then shot. 511 00:30:55.359 --> 00:31:05.400 Him executions now, yeah, yeah, remember that tyrannical government that 512 00:31:05.880 --> 00:31:07.720 guns were supposed to protect us from. 513 00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:11.839 I don't yet. Yep. Y'all are part of it. That's 514 00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:16.240 the problem. You've aligned yourselves with said tyrannical government. So 515 00:31:16.519 --> 00:31:18.160 what a conundrument must be for you? 516 00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:18.759 Yep? 517 00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:21.359 Yeah, I hope you all sort that out. It's been 518 00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:25.960 an interesting conversation. We've got more about the Minnesota situation 519 00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:29.359 to shake up, et cetera. What I have seen come 520 00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:35.200 out of this is just community. Oh, you know, citizens 521 00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:40.680 everyday citizens banding together, you know, going to the grocery 522 00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:45.279 store for one another, or taking children to and from school. 523 00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:50.759 For those who are afraid of the ice occupation and 524 00:31:50.839 --> 00:31:52.920 afraid of being picked up in the streets. So we've 525 00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.960 seen citizens really, you know, band together and build community. 526 00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:00.279 And again I always say to let's look at the 527 00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:02.720 responses to the ugly. 528 00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:07.519 And community is frequently and often formed in times of strife. 529 00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:10.680 It is, It's true, and if not formed, then strengthened. 530 00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:16.400 Community like art is often formed in times of strife. 531 00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:19.799 Let's take a quick break and come back with some 532 00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.000 good news, because we've got quite a bit of it. Okay, 533 00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:44.960 we'll be right back, and we're back. We're back good news. 534 00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:49.319 Let's talk about good news. I'll let you strive. 535 00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:58.319 So this year marks the one hundredth anniversary of basically 536 00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:04.839 the celebration of Black history. In nineteen twenty six, Carter G. Woodson, 537 00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:09.680 also known as the Father of Black History, founded Negro History. 538 00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:11.519 Week, Okay, in February. 539 00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:18.799 And I think that that is amazing because Black History, 540 00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:23.680 of course is twenty four seven, three sixty five. But 541 00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:30.519 the idea of celebrating the achievements of black people in 542 00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:34.920 America and worldwide is you know, being one hundred years old. 543 00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:36.000 That's kind of amazing. 544 00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:42.079 Yeah, yeah, not new and important, more important now than ever. 545 00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:47.759 This was an Out in New Jersey article from February seventh, 546 00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:52.000 New Jersey yesterday, Right, New Jersey's illustrious history of Black 547 00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:54.160 LGBTQ CO. 548 00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:56.680 I know I saw this. I was like a word. 549 00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:57.319 I knew. 550 00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:01.160 Marsha P. Johnson I believe was born in yes, like 551 00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:04.599 Patterson or something or Elizabeth somewhere up there. But who 552 00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:05.640 else do we have here? 553 00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:12.000 Okay? So there's Gladys Bentley, gifted pianist and blues singer 554 00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:16.800 who was among the most notorious and successful African American 555 00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:21.960 lesbians of the Harlem Renaissance. Oh yeah, she briefly lived 556 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:25.960 in Jersey, married her white girlfriend in a civil ceremony 557 00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:28.920 in Atlantic City. Oh she did not give a fuck 558 00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:31.639 in nineteen thirty one. 559 00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:35.440 Yeah, yeah, nineteen thirty one in Atlantic Cudy, how about that. 560 00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:38.880 At a time when anti misagination laws. 561 00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:40.960 With the law of the land. Oh yeah, and. 562 00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:44.519 Same sex marriage would not be federally recognized until twenty fifteen, 563 00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:48.119 So yeah, they didn't give a fuck. Between McCarthyism and 564 00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:53.719 the Black Church, she came under fire. Purportedly, the Black 565 00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:59.239 Church basically forced her to conform and to embrace her 566 00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:03.280 respect ability. She was reported to have taken female hormones 567 00:35:03.320 --> 00:35:07.119 to cure her lesbianism. She published an article in Ebony 568 00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:10.360 magazine declaring, I am a woman again shortly after she 569 00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:12.960 married a man sixteen years her junior. 570 00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:19.079 YEA, what the fuck I mean? Yeah, so it was 571 00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:20.039 just a hormone thing. 572 00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:24.159 Right before James Baldwin, there was Richard Bruce Nugent, known 573 00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:27.400 simply as Bruce, who was a writer and a painter 574 00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:31.719 who stood in stark defiance of black bourgeois respectability, politics, 575 00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:37.239 and the ideology of racial uplift. Unapologetically out and proudly gay. 576 00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:41.639 Nugent's brashness challenged norms in both mainstream American society and 577 00:35:41.679 --> 00:35:45.360 within Black communities. I Love It. He produced some of 578 00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:49.960 the earliest American literature to depict homosexuality, bisexuality, and interracial 579 00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:56.760 desire in affirming ways. Oh His nineteen twenty six short 580 00:35:56.800 --> 00:36:00.840 story Smoke, Lily's and Jade predates Baldwin's nineteen fifty six 581 00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:03.880 Giovanni's by three decades Smoke, Lilies and Jade That is 582 00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:11.000 a foundational queer black piece. And renowned Philadelphia choreographer Zane 583 00:36:11.079 --> 00:36:17.079 Booker had a very popular black and queer focused dance 584 00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:19.920 and art showcase in Philly called Smoke Lilies and Jade, 585 00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:23.280 which is where I first heard the title, right, And 586 00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:25.400 then I found out that that was I found out 587 00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:27.880 about the literary work. And now I see how that 588 00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:29.239 all all ties in. 589 00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:33.199 How about them? Yeah, he spent his final years in Hoboken, 590 00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:36.760 so that is his tie to New Jersey apparently. And 591 00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:40.199 then the other person mentioned in the article, Whitney Houston. 592 00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:46.920 Oh yeah, yeah, everybody knew Whitney Houston was queer. Everybody knew. 593 00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:49.719 Everybody that knew her knew, right, I mean it was 594 00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:52.880 not it was an open secret. But but she. 595 00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:54.639 Wasn't allowed to be herself a right. 596 00:36:55.119 --> 00:37:00.320 That is correct. She was posthumously outed in the more 597 00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:02.639 a Song for You in My Life with Whitney Houston 598 00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:07.719 by Robin Crawford, and Robin was famously the family basically 599 00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:11.679 sent her away. Yeah, h they should just let her 600 00:37:11.719 --> 00:37:14.280 hang out because Whitney was way better off. But it 601 00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:16.559 was you know, they killed the goose. 602 00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:21.039 Yeah, a popular opinion, especially popular on this show. If 603 00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:23.039 they would have allowed her to be herself, she would 604 00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:24.079 probably still be alive. 605 00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:31.000 Yep, yep. But now yeah, now, Bobby Brown did write 606 00:37:31.119 --> 00:37:36.159 about Houston's lesbianism as an open secret. He told you weekly, 607 00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:39.559 I really feel that if Robin was accepted into Whitney's life, 608 00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:42.519 Whitney would still be alive today. And that's Bobby Brown, 609 00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:47.079 right saying that, and it's true. Right, you know, I've 610 00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:50.679 heard a lot of people say that, and I agree 611 00:37:50.679 --> 00:37:53.440 with that that, you know, if they would have just 612 00:37:53.519 --> 00:37:58.559 let them be because she was happy? Right? But no, mm, yeah, 613 00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:04.679 we have so many stories anyway, Let's keep going because 614 00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:08.320 there's so much here. I did, you know, just as 615 00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:12.599 a follow up to the story about Renee Good, who 616 00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:17.159 was also murdered in Minneapolis, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner 617 00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:20.719 classified her death as a homicide. I thought it was 618 00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:21.719 important to note that. 619 00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:25.119 Yes, so I mean du, but it's official. 620 00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:28.679 DU. But yeah, it's official, and I believe I just 621 00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:31.840 heard he was listed that way as well. 622 00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:33.440 Yeah, I believe you're right. 623 00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:38.000 Yeah, what else we got? Amy Klobuchar is launching a 624 00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:41.400 bid for Minnesota as Minnesota governor. She is an ally, 625 00:38:41.519 --> 00:38:43.079 so that's not a bad thing. 626 00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:44.000 I'll take that. 627 00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:46.800 She said, I love my job in the Senate, but 628 00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:51.280 I love our state more than any job. She announced 629 00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:54.000 that she because Tim Walls recently said he would not 630 00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:58.639 seek a third term. Right, I guess he could, right, Yeah, 631 00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:00.639 that's what it sounds like. But he he said he 632 00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:05.199 will not be doing that. So she is running and 633 00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:06.000 I could see that. 634 00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:08.719 Actually, yeah, she has a shot. 635 00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:15.039 Oh for sure. For sure. So that's some good news. Anyway. 636 00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:21.519 Oh here, water's what this was listed in them. February two, 637 00:39:21.639 --> 00:39:25.079 a federal court ruled that requiring the use of trans 638 00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:31.360 students pronouns does not violate the First Amendment. Adah Well, 639 00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:35.880 a Christian substitute teacher, first sued the school for having 640 00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:39.920 to use a transstudent's pronouns in twenty twenty four. This 641 00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:44.400 is a Maryland school district, and they can still now 642 00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:50.679 require staff to use trans students' personal pronouns, according to 643 00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:56.079 a federal appeals court ruling, And so the claim from 644 00:39:56.280 --> 00:40:02.639 the Christian person one First Amendment grounds was denied. Yeah. 645 00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:05.400 On January twenty eighth, i' three remember panel of the 646 00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:09.519 Fourth US Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a previous district 647 00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:14.719 court decision against Kimberley Polk, who first sued Montgomery County 648 00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:18.639 Public Schools in twenty twenty four. I am sure she 649 00:40:18.880 --> 00:40:23.519 had applied for a religious exemption from this policy, and 650 00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:26.840 good it was later withdrawn. Apparently it was going to 651 00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:29.719 be good later withdrawn as it should have been by 652 00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:34.280 the compliance coordinator. She asked for an injunction so that 653 00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:39.119 she could continue to teach, and they denied that. She 654 00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:43.840 appealed to the Fourth Circuit that was denied. It was 655 00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:45.079 a two to one decision. 656 00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:47.599 Everywhere she went she was rejected. 657 00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:50.519 Right, But you know, this is probably one that they 658 00:40:50.519 --> 00:40:52.639 want to take to the Supreme Court because they expect 659 00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:57.639 a different result there. So Judge Robert B. King, who 660 00:40:57.719 --> 00:41:00.280 was a Clinton appointee, wrote for the majority of folks, 661 00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:04.559 free speech claim fails before she can break out of 662 00:41:04.599 --> 00:41:10.960 the gate. Good, Yeah, there was a dissent. Fucking of 663 00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:19.360 course they may appeal because you know culture wars anyway, right, 664 00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:25.760 what's what she lost? So at least in some instances 665 00:41:26.199 --> 00:41:31.039 the courts are holding The Texas and M senior lecturer 666 00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:36.119 who was fired for acknowledging that trans people exist, Oh yeah, 667 00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:41.440 is fighting back. She has filed a lawsuit accusing the 668 00:41:41.519 --> 00:41:46.639 chief of staff of Greg Arrant of pressuring the university's 669 00:41:46.639 --> 00:41:50.000 now resigned president, Mark A. Welsh, the third to fire her, 670 00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:53.599 and also accused A and M's supervisors of telling university 671 00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:57.480 Provost Alan Sam's not to give her a required disciplinary 672 00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:03.199 hearing before her termination, So there were several missteps. She said, 673 00:42:03.239 --> 00:42:05.960 there's no satisfaction in doing this, only sadness. I hear 674 00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:07.679 that right, the fact that you have to do it 675 00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:09.360 at all. Yeah. I had hoped to keep doing this 676 00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:12.599 work for many years to come despite how I was treated. 677 00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:15.400 I still love the institution, my former colleagues, and the 678 00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:20.360 students of A and M. So Yeah. She says that 679 00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:23.039 she was fired even though she did not violate any 680 00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:28.199 law or university policy. She was terminated for exercising her 681 00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:32.559 academic freedom guaranteed under the First Amendment. That is what 682 00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:38.800 her lawsuit states. She seeks reinstatement to her position, punitive damages, 683 00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:45.159 back pay, another restitution good good. She is a member 684 00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:49.559 of the American Association of University Professors and the American 685 00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:55.679 Federation of Teachers, who are also covering her legal fees. Quote. 686 00:42:56.079 --> 00:42:59.440 Doctor mccoole's firing was the canary in the coal mine 687 00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:03.760 for Texas University. This is Brian Evans, president of the 688 00:43:03.800 --> 00:43:08.079 AAUP Texas Conference. They had a chance to stand up 689 00:43:08.119 --> 00:43:11.920 to the politicians seeking to meddle in Texas universities and 690 00:43:12.079 --> 00:43:20.360 instead they caved. Yep, sure, yep, and yeah, there was 691 00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:24.559 a student who recorded her and told her A Christian 692 00:43:24.599 --> 00:43:29.280 conservative student secretly recorded a class conversation where the student 693 00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:32.280 told her it was not legal to teach about gender 694 00:43:32.320 --> 00:43:36.599 ideology because according to our president, there's only two genders 695 00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:40.480 and mcool was actually teaching a course on children's literature 696 00:43:40.920 --> 00:43:45.239 that included mention of trans individuals. She told the student 697 00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:47.800 that if they were uncomfortable, they had the right to 698 00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:51.639 leave and to discuss their complaint with the department head. 699 00:43:52.159 --> 00:43:56.199 The student then recruited their subsequent conversation with Welsh, in 700 00:43:56.239 --> 00:44:01.000 which the student demanded that McCall be fired. Welsh refused 701 00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:06.880 and explained that the university's courses include LGBTQ plus content 702 00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:10.519 to train future educators and counselors who may work with 703 00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:15.199 individuals different from themselves. That was right, Yeah, And then 704 00:44:15.239 --> 00:44:16.000 it all went to home. 705 00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:18.840 The thing that it just jumped into my head And 706 00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:21.719 this is the question that I have asked many times, 707 00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:26.039 but I'm asking it again. Do stupid people know they're stupid? 708 00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:27.840 I don't think so. 709 00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:31.599 That whole ignorance is bliss thing. 710 00:44:32.159 --> 00:44:37.079 Yeah, kind of because goddamn right. Yeah. Last November, the 711 00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:41.719 university System's Board of Regents unanimously approved a new policy 712 00:44:41.760 --> 00:44:45.599 requiring the presidents of each of its twelve statewide campuses 713 00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:49.039 to sign off on any course that could be seen 714 00:44:49.079 --> 00:44:54.440 as advocating for race and gender ideology or topics related 715 00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:58.400 to sexual orientation or gender identity. What the actual fund 716 00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:02.519 that word ideology? Just y'a don't even know what that means. 717 00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:05.880 I know, I think that they're afraid that people will. 718 00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:10.360 You know, they're not creating enough bullies, I guess right, 719 00:45:10.840 --> 00:45:18.239 if there's the chance that they may learn information, it's 720 00:45:18.280 --> 00:45:28.480 incredible empathy, bad empathy, bad diversity, bad women, bad trans people, bad. Yeah, 721 00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:32.960 everything that isn't them. 722 00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:33.840 Craziness, like they're so goddamn great. 723 00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:42.039 Yeah. England's official LGBTQ Fans group will not attend the 724 00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:51.280 FIFA World Cup Games in unsafe US. Hey yep, huh. 725 00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:55.199 This was published January eighteenth. This is actually published the 726 00:45:55.280 --> 00:45:58.679 last time I recorded Three Lions Pride. 727 00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:01.920 Do you know how bad things have to be for 728 00:46:02.079 --> 00:46:06.960 queer folks to not want to go look at soccer players? 729 00:46:07.280 --> 00:46:10.920 Huh? I'm just saying, yeah, it's a three hundred and 730 00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:15.360 fifty member group, the official supporters group of the England 731 00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:19.039 football team, announced that they would not have a visible 732 00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:21.760 presence at the twenty twenty six World Cup in the 733 00:46:21.840 --> 00:46:26.880 United States, citing serious concern over fan safety, human rights 734 00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:30.920 and they approach to ticketing and accessibility. 735 00:46:32.920 --> 00:46:36.440 Yeah, until y'all fix this shit, and I'm doing a 736 00:46:36.719 --> 00:46:44.679 general sweeping gesture, we will not be attending. I imagine 737 00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:46.039 that's a chunk of revenue. 738 00:46:46.199 --> 00:46:48.239 Do you blame them? Hell no, I mean, do you 739 00:46:48.280 --> 00:46:54.320 remember when this the first time this bullshit came about. 740 00:46:54.360 --> 00:46:57.639 It was in North Carolina about you know, trans folk 741 00:46:57.760 --> 00:47:02.559 and bathrooms, right, and it was a disaster and they 742 00:47:02.639 --> 00:47:04.920 realized quickly it was a disaster and they were going 743 00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:07.280 to lose revenue and they were going to lose conferences 744 00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:10.320 and everything else. And a lot of corporations hammered them 745 00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:15.760 for it at that time. And that is happening right 746 00:47:16.039 --> 00:47:18.880 by the way. It still is happening. Like a lot 747 00:47:19.239 --> 00:47:22.840 less is going on in Florida these days because of 748 00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:28.159 these rules. You know, when your employees can't go to 749 00:47:28.239 --> 00:47:31.880 a conference because you know you're going to arrest them 750 00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:35.119 when they have to be. It's not a welcoming state 751 00:47:35.199 --> 00:47:41.920 for you know, business, right exactly. So, yeah, that was 752 00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:44.239 that was what happened with same things. So this is 753 00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:46.480 not a surprise at all because there is there seems 754 00:47:46.519 --> 00:47:52.519 to be sanity outside this country. Yeah. I can't blame them, right. 755 00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:53.440 Not even a little bit. 756 00:47:54.559 --> 00:48:02.360 Yeah, I wouldn't. Yeah that's saying something, you know that. 757 00:48:03.039 --> 00:48:09.760 Yeah, yeah, so especially considering you know, they're not going 758 00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:12.079 to put this in the brochure. But you know, there's 759 00:48:12.079 --> 00:48:15.800 a whole lot of people who go to soccer games 760 00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:18.480 and rugby games just to look at the players. Couldn't 761 00:48:18.519 --> 00:48:19.719 tell you a shit about the game. 762 00:48:24.119 --> 00:48:26.320 They're not gonna go Now. 763 00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:33.800 I've been saying if every queer person were to like 764 00:48:33.920 --> 00:48:40.079 remove themselves from like so much of mainstream society, it's 765 00:48:40.119 --> 00:48:43.880 on masks, and you realize exactly how many people that 766 00:48:44.079 --> 00:48:45.639 is y'all might pay attention. 767 00:48:46.119 --> 00:48:49.159 But you know, this was just kind of fun and 768 00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:53.880 I wanted to mention it. Chris Mattel or Matal, was 769 00:48:54.280 --> 00:48:58.960 the Republican trial or running for governor in Minnesota, and 770 00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:02.599 he dropped out of the race, yep, citing the violence. 771 00:49:03.199 --> 00:49:07.039 He said, you know, the federal immigration agent's actions in 772 00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:10.840 the state are unconstitutional. They've gone too far, and he 773 00:49:10.880 --> 00:49:12.840 said I could note he could no longer be a 774 00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:18.119 part of a party that excuses them. Right, good for him, Like, 775 00:49:18.199 --> 00:49:20.920 I ain't getting involved with that, thank you. Yeah, because 776 00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:23.119 this again a lot of so much of this is Look, 777 00:49:23.239 --> 00:49:26.559 this is well beyond parties, folks. This is really about 778 00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:34.159 you know, morality, decency. Yeah, way way past political parties. 779 00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:39.599 But yeah, he ended his campaign, did not. Yeah, he 780 00:49:39.639 --> 00:49:41.599 had just launched his bit in December. 781 00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:45.119 I guess it's hard to like be governor and be 782 00:49:45.199 --> 00:49:47.559 out in the streets protesting ice at the same time. 783 00:49:48.000 --> 00:49:48.280 M h. 784 00:49:49.119 --> 00:49:53.519 Yeah. His decision came after Trump's immigration goons, I'm reading 785 00:49:53.519 --> 00:49:58.719 from the Daily Curs shot and killed a second American 786 00:49:58.760 --> 00:50:07.239 citizen who had been filming ices violent and unconstitutional tactics. Yeah, yeah, 787 00:50:07.320 --> 00:50:12.800 so that was interesting, right good. I don't know how 788 00:50:12.960 --> 00:50:14.920 you can be a Republican and be a person of 789 00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:18.159 any kind of conscience at all. Well, part like, you know, 790 00:50:18.719 --> 00:50:22.639 I just they've been stripping themselves for quite some time 791 00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:26.400 of decency, you know, because they're left with the dregs 792 00:50:26.400 --> 00:50:30.800 of the religious right right and all of the insanity 793 00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:33.360 that that entails. And it's a lot and that's basically 794 00:50:33.400 --> 00:50:39.480 who's running this party at this point. So I do 795 00:50:39.599 --> 00:50:43.280 want to point out that, and this was also in January, 796 00:50:43.320 --> 00:50:49.599 the Democrats successfully stripped all anti trans riders from the 797 00:50:49.599 --> 00:50:55.280 final appropriations bills. The HHS and Education bills once contained 798 00:50:55.360 --> 00:51:01.199 the most sweeping anti trans provisions in congressional history, and 799 00:51:01.239 --> 00:51:07.159 now they contain none. So good. That was impressive that 800 00:51:07.159 --> 00:51:09.679 they got it all taken out of there. Yeah, that 801 00:51:09.880 --> 00:51:15.199 was great. I wanted to just mention that that happened beautiful, Yeah, 802 00:51:15.199 --> 00:51:19.239 because it was starting to look really ridiculous for the moment. 803 00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:23.000 We can breathe for the moment. Yeah. I mean, this 804 00:51:23.119 --> 00:51:26.840 doesn't mean that we're not still targets, but at least 805 00:51:26.920 --> 00:51:31.559 in terms of everything, all the bullshit that they put 806 00:51:31.559 --> 00:51:36.039 into appropriations, that's gone right, and it shouldn't be there 807 00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:39.239 in the first place. It's got nothing to do with appropriations. 808 00:51:39.519 --> 00:51:41.840 So you know, that's a win. I'll take it. I 809 00:51:41.920 --> 00:51:46.280 thought that was good news. Indeed, I also wanted to 810 00:51:46.280 --> 00:51:50.800 point out I love to quote Fox News polls, I 811 00:51:50.880 --> 00:51:51.320 really do. 812 00:51:51.679 --> 00:51:52.639 Okay, I do. 813 00:51:53.800 --> 00:51:57.039 It was a Fox newspoll done that tells US Americans 814 00:51:57.079 --> 00:52:04.719 prefer Democrats on transgender issues by twenty two points. Okay, Yeah, 815 00:52:05.079 --> 00:52:09.800 Virtually every subgroup surveyed, from mothers to black voters to 816 00:52:09.920 --> 00:52:14.760 even rural white voters, expressed greater confidence in the Democratic 817 00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:20.719 Party's handling of transgender issues in their latest polis January thirtieth. 818 00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:21.639 I'm reading from. 819 00:52:21.599 --> 00:52:23.639 Because Democrats go by facts and shit. 820 00:52:24.239 --> 00:52:28.599 Yeah, anti transgender politics appears to be losing steam with 821 00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:33.119 American voters. That trend was already visible in November, when 822 00:52:33.159 --> 00:52:36.920 multiple candidates who centered their campaigns on anti trans messaging 823 00:52:36.920 --> 00:52:42.199 were soundly defeated despite spending enormous sums on attack ads. 824 00:52:42.920 --> 00:52:47.360 Now there is fresh evidence from an unlikely source where 825 00:52:47.440 --> 00:52:51.039 voters say Democrats have a better approach to transgender issues 826 00:52:51.079 --> 00:52:55.679 by a wide margin. This year's long anti trans panic 827 00:52:55.760 --> 00:53:00.239 may finally be wearing thin among voters. It has been right. 828 00:53:00.760 --> 00:53:04.000 This is not voters wanting this shit. I mean, I've 829 00:53:04.039 --> 00:53:06.079 realized that, you know, some of them do get all 830 00:53:06.159 --> 00:53:09.840 lathered up, But by and large, it's not the public 831 00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:13.360 that's doing this. It's the pedophiles in the Republican Party 832 00:53:13.400 --> 00:53:16.639 that have been doing this right, and they're no buddies. 833 00:53:17.400 --> 00:53:19.519 We can just get folks to act right when they're 834 00:53:19.519 --> 00:53:20.280 actually voting right. 835 00:53:20.400 --> 00:53:26.199 The children's genital fetishists of the GOP. You know, that's 836 00:53:26.239 --> 00:53:30.000 been the problem. And you know, it is like becoming 837 00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:33.159 a not not just not a winning strategy, it's becoming 838 00:53:33.159 --> 00:53:39.760 a losing strategy. So yeah, but what do they have 839 00:53:40.880 --> 00:53:43.480 if they're not you know, what else are they going 840 00:53:43.559 --> 00:53:45.880 to focus on actually governing? That'll never happen. 841 00:53:45.920 --> 00:53:46.719 They don't know how to do that. 842 00:53:47.039 --> 00:53:48.599 They don't know how to do it. Well, they never 843 00:53:48.679 --> 00:53:52.880 really did. I mean, you know, small government, drown it 844 00:53:52.920 --> 00:53:55.840 in a bathtub. We haven't had much governing out of 845 00:53:55.840 --> 00:53:57.440 the Republican Party since the eighties. 846 00:54:00.159 --> 00:54:02.039 Way, what was that line in Hamilton? They don't have 847 00:54:02.039 --> 00:54:02.960 a plan. They just don't like. 848 00:54:03.000 --> 00:54:08.239 Mine exactly exactly. And they still don't right, you know, 849 00:54:08.400 --> 00:54:12.639 and and and their bullshit is wearing sin. But you know, 850 00:54:12.760 --> 00:54:15.400 I thought that the results were really interesting. I would 851 00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:18.119 like you to post this in the notes. That's from 852 00:54:18.719 --> 00:54:21.760 Aaron Reid Aaron in the Morning. Because it's fun. It's 853 00:54:21.760 --> 00:54:25.519 fun to look at Yeah, yeah, I love it when 854 00:54:25.559 --> 00:54:26.840 they're the ones who do the polls. 855 00:54:26.880 --> 00:54:29.960 And yeah, well. 856 00:54:31.199 --> 00:54:34.880 Oh more water is wet. By the way, this has 857 00:54:35.159 --> 00:54:38.039 just been coming out of the last few days. New 858 00:54:38.159 --> 00:54:42.920 research shows trans women have no athletic advantage over SUS 859 00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:43.519 gender women. 860 00:54:43.840 --> 00:54:45.400 Oh wow? Really? 861 00:54:46.440 --> 00:54:50.599 A landmark scientific review published this week or last week, 862 00:54:50.639 --> 00:54:53.880 I guess, has delivered one of the clearest messages yet 863 00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:58.039 in the global debate over trans inclusion in sports. Trans 864 00:54:58.039 --> 00:55:03.039 women do not demonstrate advantages over cis gender women after 865 00:55:03.199 --> 00:55:07.599 undergoing gender affirming hormone therapy. The findings, drawn from an 866 00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:16.079 extensive analysis of existing research, directly challenge widely repeated claims 867 00:55:16.440 --> 00:55:21.039 lies used to justify bans on transathletes. And most of 868 00:55:21.079 --> 00:55:23.840 the time, there aren't any transathletes to ban, or there's 869 00:55:23.920 --> 00:55:27.480 one or two, right maybe. The study was read by 870 00:55:27.519 --> 00:55:30.880 researchers at the University of Sal Paulo, and it was 871 00:55:31.119 --> 00:55:35.880 reviewed more than fifty studies, encompassing data from six four 872 00:55:35.920 --> 00:55:40.679 hundred and eighty five individuals, including nearly three thousand trans women. 873 00:55:41.000 --> 00:55:45.159 This large scale review examined a range of metrics, including 874 00:55:45.159 --> 00:55:51.119 body composition, strengths measures, and cardiovascular fitness before and after 875 00:55:51.480 --> 00:55:56.840 hormone treatment. Researchers found that while transgender women may retain 876 00:55:56.920 --> 00:56:00.519 differences in lean body mass compared with cisgender women, these 877 00:56:00.519 --> 00:56:07.119 differences do not translate into superior athletic performance. Damn it Instead, 878 00:56:07.760 --> 00:56:11.400 physical fitness indicators such as upper and lower body strength 879 00:56:11.559 --> 00:56:17.840 and maximal oxygen consumption converge closely with those of cisgender 880 00:56:17.880 --> 00:56:22.920 women within one, two, three years of hormone therapy yepe. 881 00:56:23.159 --> 00:56:28.280 These findings counter the long standing assumption that trans women 882 00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:32.639 inherently outperforms CIS women in sports contexts. I'm sorry, I 883 00:56:33.119 --> 00:56:38.280 disagree that that's a long standing assumption. I disagree because 884 00:56:39.079 --> 00:56:44.360 you know, we had things in place. This was not 885 00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:47.960 some hotly debated topic until Republicans made it one. 886 00:56:48.159 --> 00:56:49.039 That's this is true. 887 00:56:49.159 --> 00:56:52.400 Nobody was talking about it. You know when when Leah 888 00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:55.800 Thomas was swimming, you know, the rules were already there 889 00:56:55.840 --> 00:56:56.280 for her to. 890 00:56:56.280 --> 00:56:59.360 Follow, and she was following them, and she was following them. 891 00:56:59.760 --> 00:57:10.239 Yeah, exactly. But you know, losers got gotta makes any anyway. Yeah, 892 00:57:10.280 --> 00:57:14.639 I disagree with that particular sentence here. But evidence also 893 00:57:14.920 --> 00:57:19.440 demonstrates that functional performance, the type of performance that determines 894 00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:24.519 athletic competitiveness, is comparable across groups. Despite differences in raw 895 00:57:24.559 --> 00:57:29.000 muscle mass or body fat distribution, trans women show no 896 00:57:29.519 --> 00:57:35.199 significant differences in upper body strength, lower body strength, or 897 00:57:35.400 --> 00:57:42.920 aerobic capacity when compared with CIS gender women. Following sustained 898 00:57:43.280 --> 00:57:49.519 hormone therapy. This holds true even in studies involving thousands 899 00:57:49.599 --> 00:57:54.960 of participants, adding weight to the conclusion that physiological changes 900 00:57:55.440 --> 00:58:03.559 induced by gender affirming care effectively level the playing field. 901 00:58:03.880 --> 00:58:11.039 H yeah, we know we've been saying. And importantly, this 902 00:58:11.159 --> 00:58:15.440 new review challenges policy approaches that rely on claims of 903 00:58:15.800 --> 00:58:21.519 enduring male puberty advantage. While some anatomical traits such as 904 00:58:21.559 --> 00:58:25.159 height or skeletal dimensions do not change with hormone therapy, 905 00:58:25.599 --> 00:58:29.880 the researchers note that the current evidence does not support 906 00:58:29.920 --> 00:58:35.320 the idea that these traits provide meaningful or measurable sports 907 00:58:35.360 --> 00:58:40.480 related benefits for trans women after their physiology has shifted 908 00:58:40.800 --> 00:58:44.360 in response to treatment.

We can tell you a lot of shit changes. 913 00:59:01.440 --> 00:59:04.239 Of course, it changes, and I'm not going to pretend 914 00:59:04.280 --> 00:59:06.920 I don't get a little joy out of it sometimes.

We are 926 00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:49.599 seeing people trying to prove these things, and they're disproving 927 00:59:49.599 --> 00:59:51.800 them because they were never true in the first place, 928 00:59:53.159 --> 00:59:56.960 you know, so start getting cozy with the fact that 929 00:59:57.000 --> 01:00:00.199 you've been lied to.

Yeah, she their mother has not lost her mind, 1093 01:11:07.640 --> 01:11:14.000 but boy is he.

The headline 1103 01:11:55.640 --> 01:12:00.560 in the Daily Beast reads, border goonicked out of Las 1104 01:12:00.680 --> 01:12:12.000 Vegas bar to maintain safety. Uh huh. Yeah, he's developing 1105 01:12:12.199 --> 01:12:15.000 a habit of getting kicked out of places where he's 1106 01:12:15.039 --> 01:12:19.439 worn out. He's welcome. Just days after Gregory Bavino, the 1107 01:12:19.760 --> 01:12:24.000 CBP's a Commander at Large, was pulled out of Minnesota 1108 01:12:24.079 --> 01:12:30.479 by MP after overseeing a violent street immigration sweep that 1109 01:12:31.079 --> 01:12:35.039 last month led to the fatal shootings of two Americans. 1110 01:12:35.520 --> 01:12:38.880 He was kicked out of a Las Vegas bar to 1111 01:12:39.000 --> 01:12:42.560 keep its patrons safe.

Yep, 1117 01:13:04.439 --> 01:13:05.960 I love that. 1118 01:13:06.279 --> 01:13:08.000 We don't cater to your kind here. 1119 01:13:08.680 --> 01:13:14.239 I exactly, exactly. Yeah, he's been stripped of his role 1120 01:13:14.800 --> 01:13:17.520 in Minneapolis, and I guess he thought he was going 1121 01:13:17.560 --> 01:13:22.479 to go have a good time in Vegas, but they 1122 01:13:22.680 --> 01:13:28.039 went get out.

Actually, uh huh, there's so much here.

Wow, because you refuse to just 1171 01:16:58.479 --> 01:17:01.439 do the right things from the this this journal. Yeah, 1172 01:17:01.479 --> 01:17:05.319 they were on that list for Fortune's Most Admired Companies. 1173 01:17:05.399 --> 01:17:09.479 Target was on that list for twenty four years, not 1174 01:17:09.640 --> 01:17:13.880 this year. They have fallen off the list for the 1175 01:17:13.920 --> 01:17:15.720 first time since two thousand and two. 1176 01:17:16.800 --> 01:17:17.760 Good job, black. 1177 01:17:17.520 --> 01:17:20.000 People, right. 1178 01:17:21.239 --> 01:17:28.359 Right, I mean, they ain't much else to say. 1179 01:17:29.079 --> 01:17:31.520 Now they were on that list and now they're not, 1180 01:17:31.640 --> 01:17:39.199 and we know why and hahuh hah. Indeed, let's see, 1181 01:17:41.640 --> 01:17:44.279 speaking of Malany in the documentary, it's officially on course 1182 01:17:44.319 --> 01:17:47.760 for box office armageddon. Yeah. 1183 01:17:47.840 --> 01:17:50.279 I love how they tried to say that it was 1184 01:17:50.359 --> 01:17:53.000 standing room only in theaters. 1185 01:17:53.560 --> 01:17:55.119 Was that a theater without seats? 1186 01:17:55.319 --> 01:17:59.239 Well, first of all, so there's no such thing as 1187 01:17:59.279 --> 01:18:03.840 standing room only because it's not a concert venue. Each 1188 01:18:03.880 --> 01:18:06.840 ticket corresponds with a seat, and once there are no 1189 01:18:06.920 --> 01:18:10.960 more seats, they stop selling tickets. Yeah, so that's a lie. 1190 01:18:11.119 --> 01:18:14.399 And also unless they just kept selling tickets and people 1191 01:18:14.439 --> 01:18:16.399 were standing in the back as they had to see 1192 01:18:16.399 --> 01:18:17.239 it at that part to you. 1193 01:18:17.760 --> 01:18:22.800 Or they count the people that were leaving. Maybe that's 1194 01:18:22.840 --> 01:18:23.880 what it actually was. 1195 01:18:24.000 --> 01:18:27.239 Maybe, And you know who's buying the tickets. We don't know. 1196 01:18:27.399 --> 01:18:31.439 Yeah, just because your mama hit click twenty five times doesn't. 1197 01:18:31.119 --> 01:18:33.000 Mean exactly we don't know. 1198 01:18:34.359 --> 01:18:36.880 Let's see as many times as I've signed up for 1199 01:18:38.199 --> 01:18:41.039 a block of seats at Trump rallies just for the 1200 01:18:41.079 --> 01:18:44.760 intention of nobody being in those seats. You can't tell me. 1201 01:18:45.199 --> 01:18:48.399 It's expected to It was expected to bring in roughly 1202 01:18:48.439 --> 01:18:52.520 five million during its opening weekend. The figure pails in 1203 01:18:52.560 --> 01:18:56.199 comparison to others opening Send Help, which we will talk about, 1204 01:18:56.199 --> 01:18:59.359 which we went to see, was projected to rake in 1205 01:18:59.439 --> 01:19:03.399 fourteen to seventeen million, with an additional ten to twelve 1206 01:19:03.399 --> 01:19:06.880 million internationally for opening weekend. Where's it even? 1207 01:19:07.199 --> 01:19:08.279 Where's it even playing? 1208 01:19:09.520 --> 01:19:14.560 I don't know. Amazon of course financed the movie Millennia, 1209 01:19:14.640 --> 01:19:16.560 which costs about forty million dollars. 1210 01:19:16.880 --> 01:19:18.880 And this is what I'm saying, you make and they're 1211 01:19:19.119 --> 01:19:22.720 boasting five million, ten million. 1212 01:19:24.399 --> 01:19:31.479 I know this is it's so funny. It's it's just funny. 1213 01:19:32.159 --> 01:19:38.600 It's a flop. Boo boom. Yeah, no one cares, like, yeah, 1214 01:19:38.760 --> 01:19:39.479 who cares? 1215 01:19:40.920 --> 01:19:42.800 I don't really care, do you. 1216 01:19:45.199 --> 01:19:49.800 Right? Exactly? I don't really care. I love that. I 1217 01:19:49.920 --> 01:19:50.800 remember that, jacka. 1218 01:19:51.000 --> 01:19:51.399 I do. 1219 01:19:52.960 --> 01:19:57.079 Some showtimes and conservative strongholds appear to be filling up, 1220 01:19:57.600 --> 01:20:01.439 but ticket sales elsewhere tell a different story. Entire rows 1221 01:20:01.800 --> 01:20:05.119 were untouched, with no seats sold for the seven pm 1222 01:20:05.239 --> 01:20:09.079 showing as a wedessafe of opening day. So yeah, that's 1223 01:20:09.079 --> 01:20:12.960 how I would think it did perform. It opened in 1224 01:20:13.039 --> 01:20:18.039 more than fifteen hundred theaters. Screenshots of sparsely populated seating 1225 01:20:18.159 --> 01:20:22.399 charts have already begun circulating online. Yeah, it was. It's 1226 01:20:22.439 --> 01:20:24.720 been a joke basically. 1227 01:20:24.880 --> 01:20:26.800 I hope it gets a razzie as it. 1228 01:20:26.760 --> 01:20:31.760 Should have been a joke. It's a joke. Yeah, So 1229 01:20:32.439 --> 01:20:33.279 there's that. 1230 01:20:34.680 --> 01:20:39.560 Rumors are that at screenings of Milania, it was really 1231 01:20:39.720 --> 01:20:45.720 just becoming, because remember how she was supposed to please 1232 01:20:45.760 --> 01:20:46.159 your I. 1233 01:20:50.239 --> 01:20:52.520 Had actually shown it was really just becoming.

Oh that okay, Oh 1329 01:28:02.439 --> 01:28:05.840 that was that was? Yeah, that isn't that happened? 1330 01:28:06.119 --> 01:28:11.800 That's an anthem. Okay, a movement, a moment. 1331 01:28:15.199 --> 01:28:23.159 Alrighty, it's time, oh God for the cavalcade of nonsense. 1332 01:28:25.279 --> 01:28:26.279 And there's so much. 1333 01:28:27.039 --> 01:28:28.359 Let's go quickly, shall we? 1334 01:28:28.600 --> 01:28:31.239 Yeah, let's try. You want to get started. 1335 01:28:32.399 --> 01:28:38.560 Yeah, So Minnesota State Rep Elan o'mar, this is at 1336 01:28:38.560 --> 01:28:43.640 the end of January, was attacked some fool basically like 1337 01:28:43.880 --> 01:28:47.159 lunched adder and sprayed her with a liquid. 1338 01:28:47.920 --> 01:28:51.880 Yeah. I've heard subsequently that they thought it was like 1339 01:28:51.880 --> 01:28:53.399 apple cider vinegar or something. 1340 01:28:53.520 --> 01:28:56.359 Right, that's what I believe it ended up being, which 1341 01:28:56.399 --> 01:28:57.960 I don't understand. 1342 01:28:57.720 --> 01:29:01.279 Any any liquid the whole thing not okay, well correct, 1343 01:29:01.399 --> 01:29:02.319 not okay. Well. 1344 01:29:02.359 --> 01:29:05.479 I saw the video when it happened, and I was 1345 01:29:05.520 --> 01:29:09.640 immediately afraid it was like some kind of like biological thing. 1346 01:29:10.520 --> 01:29:12.640 And because you saw I posted everything. I just want 1347 01:29:12.640 --> 01:29:15.560 to know what he sprayed her with. The best part 1348 01:29:15.800 --> 01:29:17.960 of the whole thing is, you know, besides the fact 1349 01:29:18.000 --> 01:29:22.159 that I believe she is since been cleared and okay, 1350 01:29:23.039 --> 01:29:27.960 she immediately went into like I'm a bust Joe ass stance, 1351 01:29:29.399 --> 01:29:33.039 like they not only had to protect her from him, 1352 01:29:33.039 --> 01:29:37.840 but him from her. But what the fuck is going 1353 01:29:37.880 --> 01:29:42.600 on that folks are just attacking people in this manner 1354 01:29:43.319 --> 01:29:49.960 and apparently the attack was fueled by all of the racist, xenophobic, 1355 01:29:51.520 --> 01:29:56.680 islamophobic rhetoric. Like the first two words in the headline 1356 01:29:56.720 --> 01:30:03.680 were stochastic terrorism, which, as we have learned on this show, 1357 01:30:04.560 --> 01:30:10.039 is an act of violence, which is the direct result 1358 01:30:11.319 --> 01:30:17.640 of continued and persistent hateful rhetoric and calls for violence. 1359 01:30:18.079 --> 01:30:20.359 So good god, there you go. 1360 01:30:21.039 --> 01:30:23.199 This is what's happening, and it's a direct result of 1361 01:30:23.239 --> 01:30:24.920 the ass hat in the White House. 1362 01:30:25.079 --> 01:30:31.720 Absolutely. This next story comes from Florida. Yeah, it's chocking, right. 1363 01:30:31.960 --> 01:30:38.000 Republicans want to jail pharmacists now, as two new bills 1364 01:30:38.039 --> 01:30:44.479 targeting gender affirming care advance. Yeah. Yeah. One lawmaker said 1365 01:30:44.520 --> 01:30:47.720 the tougher legislation is needed to fight doctors who are 1366 01:30:48.319 --> 01:30:55.680 quote committing fraud in Florida, Representative Lauren Mellow, who is 1367 01:30:55.880 --> 01:31:02.399 insane obviously, right, yeah, said that. So basically, the bills 1368 01:31:02.520 --> 01:31:06.840 advanced out a committee late in January and They would 1369 01:31:06.880 --> 01:31:10.199 give the state attorney general more power to investigate and 1370 01:31:10.279 --> 01:31:14.840 press felony charges against healthcare professionals who provide gender affirm 1371 01:31:14.880 --> 01:31:19.680 and care in the state, including against therapists who discuss 1372 01:31:19.760 --> 01:31:24.560 gender issues with minor patients and pharmacists who fill prescriptions 1373 01:31:24.880 --> 01:31:29.600 that may be used as gender affirming care. Yeah. This 1374 01:31:29.640 --> 01:31:33.920 is the Criminal Justice Subcommittee in the Florida legislature. This 1375 01:31:34.479 --> 01:31:38.199 advanced on a twelve to five vote, and it would 1376 01:31:38.239 --> 01:31:42.800 allow the state attorney general to sue healthcare practitioners for 1377 01:31:42.880 --> 01:31:48.600 up to one hundred thousand dollars per violation for providing 1378 01:31:48.640 --> 01:31:53.840 gender affirming care to minors. Life saving care. Yeah, mainstream 1379 01:31:53.880 --> 01:31:57.119 medical organizations support gender affirm and care of course for 1380 01:31:57.199 --> 01:32:00.279 trans kids because it has been shown to be life 1381 01:32:00.279 --> 01:32:02.800 saving and saved, which we know, we know, we know, 1382 01:32:03.039 --> 01:32:05.399 we know, we know. But facts. You know, when you 1383 01:32:05.600 --> 01:32:07.640 when you have a bunch of pedophiles who are trying 1384 01:32:07.640 --> 01:32:10.920 to like throw throw you off their scent, this is 1385 01:32:10.960 --> 01:32:13.079 what you get, yep, this is what you get out 1386 01:32:13.079 --> 01:32:15.720 of the Republican Party. As we're learning more and more 1387 01:32:15.760 --> 01:32:18.239 of them, because I don't think a week goes by, 1388 01:32:18.520 --> 01:32:22.039 know and as off in Florida, where some puffy white 1389 01:32:22.159 --> 01:32:27.600 dude you know it is again arrests. A Republican politician 1390 01:32:27.680 --> 01:32:31.960 is once again arrested for child porn, for trying to 1391 01:32:32.000 --> 01:32:35.880 meet up with children at hotel you name it, you 1392 01:32:36.000 --> 01:32:40.479 name it. But they have the audacity to continue to 1393 01:32:40.560 --> 01:32:44.079 target us, even though rank and file Republicans are saying, 1394 01:32:44.159 --> 01:32:47.840 not get off already. Right, Yeah, it's just mind blowing. Truly. 1395 01:32:48.520 --> 01:32:51.000 Supporters of this new bill say that they are necessary 1396 01:32:51.039 --> 01:32:53.439 to further crack down on gender affirm and care in 1397 01:32:53.479 --> 01:32:58.880 the state for biblical reasons. What the actual fuck does 1398 01:32:58.920 --> 01:33:04.920 the Bible have to do with public policy? This is 1399 01:33:05.399 --> 01:33:10.600 or medicine or medicine scary on so many levels. We 1400 01:33:10.680 --> 01:33:14.239 have to uphold the principles and standards that made this 1401 01:33:14.399 --> 01:33:19.880 country great, Biblical constitutional law and order at all costs, 1402 01:33:20.640 --> 01:33:28.560 and sometimes that stings, said Representative Taylor Yourkowski at the hearing. 1403 01:33:29.720 --> 01:33:32.319 Taylor may have been arrested by now this was late January, 1404 01:33:32.359 --> 01:33:35.439 so God only knows how many kids that one's diddled, 1405 01:33:35.680 --> 01:33:39.279 Who knows, you know, But yeah, keep bringing the Bible 1406 01:33:39.520 --> 01:33:40.680 into public policy. 1407 01:33:40.800 --> 01:33:43.880 Why not they measured things in cubits in the Bible. 1408 01:33:44.199 --> 01:33:48.039 Yeah, And of course Lauren Mellow, who I said, you know, 1409 01:33:48.199 --> 01:33:52.439 is insane. Stressed pharmacists would be punished under her bill, 1410 01:33:53.319 --> 01:33:56.680 something she says is necessary because healthcare professionals are committing 1411 01:33:56.680 --> 01:34:02.319 fraud by prescribing gender firming care medications but recording the 1412 01:34:02.359 --> 01:34:09.399 purpose of the medications as something other than gender affirming care. Huh. Democrats, 1413 01:34:09.399 --> 01:34:12.600 of course, stress that the bill could have unintentional side effects. 1414 01:34:13.279 --> 01:34:16.760 It really is, you know, first of all, as a 1415 01:34:16.800 --> 01:34:19.600 power graph for the Attorney General to expand his power. 1416 01:34:19.720 --> 01:34:24.159 That's one aspect of this, giving one individual, maybe his 1417 01:34:24.239 --> 01:34:28.800 success or authority that they don't deserve and cannot manage. Yeah, 1418 01:34:30.159 --> 01:34:34.840 state representatives and apparently this is referencing Hope, Florida, which 1419 01:34:34.920 --> 01:34:38.159 is a scandal where state representatives are accused of laundering 1420 01:34:38.199 --> 01:34:41.119 money and committing fraud. Of course, right, they've proven they 1421 01:34:41.119 --> 01:34:45.840 cannot be trusted yet, no kidding. Doctors might be scared 1422 01:34:45.840 --> 01:34:48.800 from prescribing hormone and medications to people with severe menstrual 1423 01:34:48.840 --> 01:34:53.640 problems and symptoms, less to pharmacists misinterpret the reason for 1424 01:34:53.720 --> 01:34:56.760 the prescription. You're going to see doctors not wanting to 1425 01:34:56.760 --> 01:35:00.119 prescribe these kinds of medications. Yeah, it'll, you know, it 1426 01:35:00.479 --> 01:35:03.000 will be fucking with CIS people, but women, so they 1427 01:35:03.119 --> 01:35:11.680 why would they care? And it's you know, queer and 1428 01:35:11.680 --> 01:35:14.119 trans people are already leaving Florida and grows. Not the 1429 01:35:14.119 --> 01:35:17.359 white gays because they're they're fine, you know, they're fine. 1430 01:35:17.560 --> 01:35:20.920 But trans people are leaving Florida at a clip. Parents 1431 01:35:20.920 --> 01:35:24.279 with trans children, of course, have been leaving Florida at 1432 01:35:24.319 --> 01:35:29.800 a clip. Any decent, respectable, you know, organization that's having 1433 01:35:29.840 --> 01:35:34.039 any kind of conference last I heard avoiding Florida because 1434 01:35:34.840 --> 01:35:38.319 it's terrible.

Do not call 1459 01:37:18.720 --> 01:37:21.439 me cis gender. I am a woman.

Yeah, what 1464 01:37:46.479 --> 01:37:49.479 the fuck do Republicans really know about order? 1465 01:37:49.880 --> 01:37:50.520 First of all? 1466 01:37:50.680 --> 01:37:53.439 Yeah, I mean they don't govern. They worry about shit 1467 01:37:53.600 --> 01:37:56.840 like this. This is that, you know, govern come up 1468 01:37:56.840 --> 01:37:58.520 with some way to fucking govern. 1469 01:37:58.720 --> 01:38:04.039 And this whole one, this whole furre over the word 1470 01:38:04.239 --> 01:38:09.239 cis gender, I know, because it is such peak white 1471 01:38:09.279 --> 01:38:15.159 bullshit in that it didn't it didn't exist until they 1472 01:38:15.199 --> 01:38:16.279 started hearing about it. 1473 01:38:16.319 --> 01:38:20.319 Well, not entirely though, you got hoteps and shit out there. Oh, 1474 01:38:20.439 --> 01:38:22.880 I know, are also not happy with the terms. 1475 01:38:23.000 --> 01:38:26.159 Yeah, because white nonsense doesn't trickle down to non white people. 1476 01:38:26.199 --> 01:38:27.920 That's not a thing that ever. Of course it does, 1477 01:38:28.560 --> 01:38:31.279 of course, But my point is that's the whole thing. 1478 01:38:31.319 --> 01:38:33.520 They act like it's a word that just showed up 1479 01:38:33.560 --> 01:38:36.640 twenty minutes ago, because that's when they started hearing about it. 1480 01:38:36.760 --> 01:38:41.319 Yeah, and just for the record, the term cis gender 1481 01:38:42.279 --> 01:38:46.880 was popularized in the nineteen nineties, and the Oxford English 1482 01:38:46.960 --> 01:38:50.479 Dictionary added the word in twenty fifteen. 1483 01:38:50.880 --> 01:38:54.000 Right, yes, And I keep having this fucking argument with 1484 01:38:54.079 --> 01:38:56.760 people that I actually know, and I keep trying to 1485 01:38:56.840 --> 01:38:59.800 let them know that they don't sound as smart as 1486 01:38:59.840 --> 01:39:01.520 I thought them to be. 1487 01:39:03.000 --> 01:39:06.000 Yeah. See, they, you know, people like Haggy Man and 1488 01:39:06.680 --> 01:39:10.760 Elon Musk insist cis gender is a slur, right, meant 1489 01:39:10.760 --> 01:39:15.680 to attack non trans people because they attack us all 1490 01:39:15.720 --> 01:39:18.720 the time with the fact that we're transgender. So it 1491 01:39:19.039 --> 01:39:22.199 and all it means is you're not transgender, right, sweetie? 1492 01:39:22.399 --> 01:39:24.560 I actually had someone that I know. 1493 01:39:24.640 --> 01:39:26.079 But where the snowflake who I. 1494 01:39:26.039 --> 01:39:30.359 Thought was a thinking human being say, well, it is 1495 01:39:30.399 --> 01:39:32.319 a slur If I don't want to be called that 1496 01:39:32.520 --> 01:39:35.359 and you call me that, No, it's not like, what 1497 01:39:35.399 --> 01:39:37.399 the fuck does what you want have to do with? No, 1498 01:39:37.479 --> 01:39:39.880 it's the definition of a goddamn word. 1499 01:39:39.960 --> 01:39:48.640 Right, exactly exactly. Yeah, that's like saying, you know, I. 1500 01:39:48.560 --> 01:39:51.439 Don't like the word the so therefore the is a slur. 1501 01:39:51.520 --> 01:39:54.319 That's that's I don't want to call you live in 1502 01:39:54.359 --> 01:39:58.960 New Jersey. That's the word. Move like, for fox sake, 1503 01:39:59.199 --> 01:40:01.800 find a word you like better. But what the hell? 1504 01:40:01.840 --> 01:40:05.359 Because I've said many times cis gender is not a slur. 1505 01:40:06.920 --> 01:40:09.399 It doesn't matter how you feel about it. It doesn't 1506 01:40:09.479 --> 01:40:13.880 matter what you actually think. The word is what it is. 1507 01:40:13.960 --> 01:40:17.800 But you think we think the same way you do, right, 1508 01:40:18.359 --> 01:40:20.800 And the way that you spew the word trans and 1509 01:40:20.880 --> 01:40:24.920 transgender and transsexual, you spew those words as slurs, so 1510 01:40:25.000 --> 01:40:29.359 you assume, right, we use this word. 1511 01:40:29.760 --> 01:40:32.159 That's also what I always say. It's that you, with 1512 01:40:32.399 --> 01:40:36.000 sitting firmly in your cis gender privilege, are not used 1513 01:40:36.039 --> 01:40:41.439 to being labeled, but you you you only use labels 1514 01:40:41.439 --> 01:40:44.720 when you're using them to bully others or denigrate others. 1515 01:40:44.800 --> 01:40:47.439 So you assume that all labels are used to bully 1516 01:40:47.479 --> 01:40:49.960 and denigrade, So when a label is applied to you, 1517 01:40:50.039 --> 01:40:53.760 then you automatically take offense because you God. 1518 01:40:53.520 --> 01:40:55.720 Bless all the CIS genders. Now that we know who 1519 01:40:55.840 --> 01:41:02.239 self refer all, God damn it, and of course haggy Man, 1520 01:41:02.279 --> 01:41:06.520 and then we will move on. Claimed that gold medalist 1521 01:41:07.279 --> 01:41:12.840 cist gender boxer is it Amani Khalif. Yes Uh is 1522 01:41:12.880 --> 01:41:16.800 a transgender woman who beat the hell out of women 1523 01:41:17.560 --> 01:41:22.520 during the twenty twenty four Paris Olympics. Khalif, like representative 1524 01:41:22.960 --> 01:41:29.079 haggy Man, it's a cisgender woman, can't even get their 1525 01:41:29.079 --> 01:41:33.960 facts straight. But god damn you know they love to beat. 1526 01:41:35.399 --> 01:41:38.319 This is what bell Yeah, you're repeating a lie over 1527 01:41:38.359 --> 01:41:39.960 and over and over again. It will never make it 1528 01:41:40.039 --> 01:41:40.520 the truth. 1529 01:41:40.720 --> 01:41:44.239 This is what prompted my social media posts the other day. 1530 01:41:44.319 --> 01:41:48.479 I am so sick and fucking tired of arrogant stupidity. 1531 01:41:48.680 --> 01:41:53.680 I know, right, And that's the thing. They're so certain, right, 1532 01:41:53.880 --> 01:41:57.239 and they're so loud, and they're so fucking wrong.

I damn it. This happened in New 1538 01:42:18.199 --> 01:42:22.520 York City. This we're going back to January tenth. The 1539 01:42:22.600 --> 01:42:25.119 articles not quite that old, but there was a man 1540 01:42:25.159 --> 01:42:29.520 who suffered an anti LGBTQ subway attack after kissing his 1541 01:42:29.560 --> 01:42:34.000 trans partner. According to police, a man was kissing his 1542 01:42:34.039 --> 01:42:38.039 transgender partner aboard a six train earlier in January when 1543 01:42:38.079 --> 01:42:41.640 he was attacked by another passenger, who yelled a homophobic 1544 01:42:41.760 --> 01:42:46.560 slur and struck him with a sharp object. According to police, 1545 01:42:46.960 --> 01:42:49.880 the sudden attack, which unfolded just before eight pm on 1546 01:42:50.000 --> 01:42:53.920 January tenth, led to a verbal dispute that ultimately took 1547 01:42:53.960 --> 01:42:57.840 a dangerous turn when the unknown assailant allegedly attacked the 1548 01:42:57.880 --> 01:43:00.640 twenty eight year old victim on the right side of 1549 01:43:00.680 --> 01:43:05.119 his face, causing a laceration. No indication the trans woman 1550 01:43:05.199 --> 01:43:09.000 suffered any physical injuries. It took place as the six 1551 01:43:09.079 --> 01:43:12.680 train pulled into the twenty third Street station on a 1552 01:43:12.680 --> 01:43:17.119 Saturday evening, and the suspect fled the train at that station. 1553 01:43:17.800 --> 01:43:20.439 Of course, they fled like the little bitch that he is, 1554 01:43:20.520 --> 01:43:22.760 like the little bitch that you are. None of them 1555 01:43:22.800 --> 01:43:25.880 can stand by their convictions, Phie, I got to run 1556 01:43:25.880 --> 01:43:29.439 a nut anyway. The victim was transported to Bellevue Hospital, 1557 01:43:30.239 --> 01:43:34.199 and the alleged attacker, of course, fled the scene. Police 1558 01:43:34.239 --> 01:43:37.760 have yet to identify or find the suspect. 1559 01:43:40.640 --> 01:43:45.479 Yeah, yeah, I just wanted to put this here because 1560 01:43:45.479 --> 01:43:50.520 when I came across this article, it hit home for 1561 01:43:50.640 --> 01:43:57.840 me for obvious reasons. And you know, I'm as a 1562 01:43:57.880 --> 01:44:01.920 queer person. You know, I have been on my guard 1563 01:44:02.840 --> 01:44:10.600 in public for thirty plus years now, just being myself, 1564 01:44:10.840 --> 01:44:13.960 either by myself or with friends or with a partner. 1565 01:44:14.560 --> 01:44:20.239 And you know, I am married to a fabulous a 1566 01:44:20.279 --> 01:44:24.760 transgender woman.

But it was like, you too can 1574 01:45:00.600 --> 01:45:03.399 block the sun when you're walking side by side, So 1575 01:45:03.520 --> 01:45:07.079 somebody would be really stupid to try to fuck with you. 1576 01:45:07.399 --> 01:45:10.920 I mean, I agree, I mean I think people be 1577 01:45:10.920 --> 01:45:13.439 stupid to fuck with us like size bed anyway. 1578 01:45:13.600 --> 01:45:15.840 Yeah, I mean we've taught that lesson more than once. 1579 01:45:15.880 --> 01:45:21.119 But anyway, but yeah, I mean, I I had never 1580 01:45:21.199 --> 01:45:22.840 thought of it that way because I mean I was 1581 01:45:22.880 --> 01:45:26.520 bullied all through school. I was often taller and bigger. 1582 01:45:27.279 --> 01:45:29.840 They knew I wasn't gonna fight back, right, that was 1583 01:45:29.880 --> 01:45:32.279 the point.

But 1586 01:45:40.239 --> 01:45:42.680 I did realize that, and that was you know, early 1587 01:45:42.760 --> 01:45:46.039 on in bar ownership, and I realized I could use 1588 01:45:46.039 --> 01:45:48.199 that to my advantage sometimes. Right. 1589 01:45:48.920 --> 01:45:54.039 Well, I similar background for myself.

I you know, 1618 01:47:42.680 --> 01:47:45.560 I put this next story in because we have a 1619 01:47:45.560 --> 01:47:51.359 new strategy. Right, we know that democratic electeds tend to 1620 01:47:51.399 --> 01:47:57.039 oppose like transports bands more than Democratic voters do. Because 1621 01:47:57.199 --> 01:48:01.920 there's too many Democratic voters and some Democratic positions have 1622 01:48:02.039 --> 01:48:07.600 been infected by this constant barrage of lies and misinformation. 1623 01:48:07.880 --> 01:48:11.000 Maybe there's something to the right. So the electives who 1624 01:48:11.079 --> 01:48:13.600 have done the research and who we have worked hard 1625 01:48:13.640 --> 01:48:17.079 to educate, of course, you know, tend to be more 1626 01:48:17.119 --> 01:48:22.800 against it. So the new tact is anti transactivists are 1627 01:48:22.800 --> 01:48:28.600 turning in signatures in Maine for a sports fan and 1628 01:48:28.720 --> 01:48:32.720 what this will do is put it on the ballot. 1629 01:48:33.000 --> 01:48:36.720 That's what they want. Organizers from the anti trans group 1630 01:48:36.800 --> 01:48:40.760 protect girls' sports as if they they still don't give 1631 01:48:40.760 --> 01:48:43.800 a shit about girls sports. As we know they do 1632 01:48:43.840 --> 01:48:47.079 want to check their vaginas though they're anxious to do that. 1633 01:48:47.279 --> 01:48:50.159 That's because they are children's genital fetistists. 1634 01:48:50.439 --> 01:48:52.760 If it weren't for girls in shorts, they wouldn't give 1635 01:48:52.760 --> 01:48:53.479 a fuck. 1636 01:48:53.600 --> 01:48:58.880 Truly anyway, protect girls' sports says. They turned in over 1637 01:48:58.920 --> 01:49:02.439 eighty two thousand sign to the state Secretary of State's 1638 01:49:02.479 --> 01:49:06.159 office to put a trans sports ban on the November 1639 01:49:06.399 --> 01:49:10.800 ballot this year. Now, if something's unconstitutional, can you put 1640 01:49:10.800 --> 01:49:13.640 it on the ballot? I don't know. Uh, Their ballot. 1641 01:49:14.439 --> 01:49:18.119 I think you kind of can because member properly. Their 1642 01:49:18.159 --> 01:49:23.000 ballot initiative would require the entities that govern interscholastic sports 1643 01:49:23.079 --> 01:49:27.000 to designate all teams as male, female, or co ed, 1644 01:49:27.479 --> 01:49:32.560 and allow only students assigned female at birth to participate 1645 01:49:32.680 --> 01:49:38.239 in girls sports. The ballot initiative would also require restrooms, 1646 01:49:38.359 --> 01:49:42.560 locker rooms, and showers to be separated by sex assigned 1647 01:49:43.199 --> 01:49:49.000 at birth. Fucking build, you know, build bigger walls to 1648 01:49:49.079 --> 01:49:53.000 the stalls. These people are so fucking good. 1649 01:49:53.079 --> 01:49:56.880 God still no mention of the state trans boys though, 1650 01:49:56.960 --> 01:49:58.479 huh No never. 1651 01:49:59.000 --> 01:50:02.640 The state is now reviewing the signatures that they turned 1652 01:50:02.640 --> 01:50:05.640 in to see if at least sixty seven, six hundred 1653 01:50:05.640 --> 01:50:07.800 and eighty two of them are valid. That is the 1654 01:50:07.840 --> 01:50:12.720 minimum number of signatures from main voters required to qualify 1655 01:50:12.720 --> 01:50:16.800 an issue for the ballot. Quote it's necessary to put 1656 01:50:16.840 --> 01:50:20.920 on the ballot because sex based discrimination is happening right now. 1657 01:50:21.840 --> 01:50:27.039 Leland Strife of Protect Girls Sports told The Bangor Daily 1658 01:50:27.079 --> 01:50:30.479 News they often frame trans rights as an attack on 1659 01:50:30.560 --> 01:50:34.920 women's rights, not that there's any correlation. There needs to 1660 01:50:34.960 --> 01:50:38.960 be a solution for this right now. It is being 1661 01:50:39.000 --> 01:50:41.479 solved on a district by district level. And it shouldn't 1662 01:50:41.479 --> 01:50:49.479 be It should be solved on the state level. Uh huh. 1663 01:50:49.520 --> 01:50:53.279 This is the second state where anti transactivists have attempted 1664 01:50:53.439 --> 01:50:57.319 to get a sports ban on the November ballot. In January, 1665 01:50:57.439 --> 01:51:01.039 the group Let's Go Washington said that it turned in 1666 01:51:01.239 --> 01:51:03.479 more than enough signatures to put a sports ban on 1667 01:51:03.520 --> 01:51:07.119 the ballot in that state. The Washington ballot initiative will 1668 01:51:07.159 --> 01:51:12.039 also include authorization for genital examinations for girls who want 1669 01:51:12.079 --> 01:51:16.800 to participate in sports in school sports. Now, if parents 1670 01:51:17.359 --> 01:51:19.279 are going to vote for this and pass it, God 1671 01:51:19.319 --> 01:51:21.680 help us all, God help us all. 1672 01:51:21.760 --> 01:51:23.920 So you know what that means. That means. That means 1673 01:51:23.920 --> 01:51:30.640 that someone said the words out loud, genital inspections, and 1674 01:51:32.359 --> 01:51:35.239 it came out of the mouth and traveled through the 1675 01:51:35.279 --> 01:51:40.079 air and went into ears, and the ears said, yes, 1676 01:51:40.199 --> 01:51:41.800 that's what we need to do. And then they wrote 1677 01:51:41.840 --> 01:51:45.119 that down on paper, and then that paper was passed 1678 01:51:45.119 --> 01:51:48.000 to other people who read it and they saw the 1679 01:51:48.039 --> 01:51:51.920 words genital inspection and they went yes and moved it forward. 1680 01:51:52.359 --> 01:51:57.720 Anti trans organizers I are turning to ballot initiatives, likely 1681 01:51:58.560 --> 01:52:02.039 because every state that will pass a transports ban through 1682 01:52:02.079 --> 01:52:07.760 its legislature already has and Democratic elected officials tend to 1683 01:52:07.800 --> 01:52:13.479 be more opposed to transports bans than Democratic voters. So 1684 01:52:13.720 --> 01:52:17.039 a March twenty twenty five survey found that sixty four 1685 01:52:17.119 --> 01:52:22.640 percent of Main voters don't think transgender student athletes meaning 1686 01:52:22.800 --> 01:52:26.239 trans girls, let's not twist this should be allowed to 1687 01:52:26.239 --> 01:52:29.720 participate in school sports, and that sixty four percent would 1688 01:52:29.760 --> 01:52:34.000 have to include a large number, and that sixty four 1689 01:52:34.039 --> 01:52:36.520 percent would have to include a large number of Democratic 1690 01:52:36.600 --> 01:52:38.840 voters in the state of Maine. 1691 01:52:38.680 --> 01:52:40.960 And all of this is a much larger number than 1692 01:52:41.000 --> 01:52:43.159 the actual number of trans kids who are trying to 1693 01:52:43.159 --> 01:52:46.119 fucking play sports in excess guide there is just a mob. 1694 01:52:47.520 --> 01:52:51.960 A recent national survey found that a plurality of Kamala 1695 01:52:52.000 --> 01:52:59.600 Harris voters actually support transsports bands. I guess you know 1696 01:53:00.159 --> 01:53:02.960 information if you repeated enough, you know, if it does 1697 01:53:03.000 --> 01:53:07.520 become infectious. Yeah. A few Democratic elected officials have publicly 1698 01:53:07.520 --> 01:53:11.239 supported such measures, thank god. At least eight bills were 1699 01:53:11.279 --> 01:53:15.960 introduced in the main legislature last year to curtail trans rights, 1700 01:53:16.000 --> 01:53:20.319 including a sportsman, and Democrats defeated them all because it's 1701 01:53:20.399 --> 01:53:24.359 not governing, it's not good policy, and it's nothing but bigotry. 1702 01:53:24.560 --> 01:53:27.439 Right on its face. There is no evidence to back 1703 01:53:27.479 --> 01:53:29.920 any of this up. That is what is so galling 1704 01:53:31.119 --> 01:53:34.560 is that this isn't the ship that they're doing this for. 1705 01:53:35.159 --> 01:53:38.119 Is like a solution looking for a problem. The problem 1706 01:53:38.159 --> 01:53:42.239 does not exist, right, a problem. Right. Not only are 1707 01:53:42.239 --> 01:53:46.600 trans girls not you know, dominating every sport, They're not 1708 01:53:47.079 --> 01:53:50.359 being trands so that they can somehow assault little CIS 1709 01:53:50.479 --> 01:53:53.359 girls in the locker room. That's not happening, right. You're 1710 01:53:53.399 --> 01:53:58.399 afraid of CIS boys, actually, is what you're afraid of. 1711 01:53:59.680 --> 01:54:03.399 The Principles Association said it follows state law which bans 1712 01:54:03.439 --> 01:54:06.520 discrimination on the basis of gender identity, and pointed out 1713 01:54:06.880 --> 01:54:09.640 that there are very few trans girls participating in school 1714 01:54:09.640 --> 01:54:15.319 sports in thus state. Correct This jackass stressed he does 1715 01:54:15.359 --> 01:54:19.239 not want the legislature to solve this on our behalf, 1716 01:54:20.520 --> 01:54:25.600 likely because the main legislature has a democratic majority, you know, 1717 01:54:25.680 --> 01:54:29.439 and of course anyone with a conscience or any decent 1718 01:54:29.520 --> 01:54:34.319 human is criticizing the ballid initiative, pointing out that Protect 1719 01:54:34.399 --> 01:54:39.079 Girls' Sports has received nearly a million dollars from Republican 1720 01:54:39.119 --> 01:54:44.039 megadonnor Richard Yuleen and that the initiative would increase bullying 1721 01:54:44.399 --> 01:54:49.439 and harassment and cost local schools millions of dollars for 1722 01:54:49.520 --> 01:54:54.600 construction and litigation. These out of state billionaires pay for 1723 01:54:54.680 --> 01:55:02.520 the campaign, but main people pay for the fallout. Yeah yeah. 1724 01:55:02.560 --> 01:55:05.600 And of course last year, the Main governor, Janet Mills, 1725 01:55:05.840 --> 01:55:09.960 had a high profile battle with this administration over trans 1726 01:55:09.960 --> 01:55:13.880 student athletes. The president told us that she better banned 1727 01:55:13.880 --> 01:55:17.720 trans kids from participating in school sports, and she replied, 1728 01:55:17.800 --> 01:55:20.920 see you in court, and Main eventually won the court 1729 01:55:20.960 --> 01:55:25.079 battle that followed when the US Department of Agriculture attempted 1730 01:55:25.119 --> 01:55:30.119 to freeze three million dollars in funding. They're bullies, Yeah, 1731 01:55:30.199 --> 01:55:37.399 they're bullies, and nobody looks at transgender porn like Republican men. 1732 01:55:37.680 --> 01:55:37.960 Right. 1733 01:55:38.479 --> 01:55:39.039 Yeah. 1734 01:55:39.199 --> 01:55:43.319 I was thinking about recently, Kid Marrow diesuz A Marrow 1735 01:55:44.039 --> 01:55:48.079 was the one Rolling Stone podcast or interview or whatever 1736 01:55:48.319 --> 01:55:51.760 talking about Riley Gaines, and he was like, we need 1737 01:55:51.800 --> 01:55:54.800 to like he was basically speaking to Raley gains He's like, 1738 01:55:54.840 --> 01:55:58.960 we need to be real here. You're not mad at 1739 01:55:59.000 --> 01:56:03.039 the presence of a train. He said. The issue is 1740 01:56:03.079 --> 01:56:09.000 not a transgender swimmer. The issue is you suck your ass. 1741 01:56:09.279 --> 01:56:12.640 So stop focusing on bullshit, Stop focusing on things that 1742 01:56:12.640 --> 01:56:16.119 aren't a problem. But being concentrate on not being asked, 1743 01:56:16.560 --> 01:56:17.199 she would. 1744 01:56:17.039 --> 01:56:20.840 Have absolutely no relevance in this world. You would not 1745 01:56:21.000 --> 01:56:24.079 know her name in any way, shape or form had 1746 01:56:24.159 --> 01:56:30.359 she not capitalized on having, you know, swam with Leah Thomas. 1747 01:56:30.720 --> 01:56:34.920 That's it. That is it. She tied for fifth place, 1748 01:56:35.680 --> 01:56:38.239 and I guess wanted to be fifth place all on 1749 01:56:38.279 --> 01:56:42.439 her own. Whatever the fuck. Yeah, but otherwise you would 1750 01:56:42.439 --> 01:56:44.720 never have heard from this person. But Republicans are so 1751 01:56:44.880 --> 01:56:49.600 goddamned frothing at the mouth about our very existence that 1752 01:56:49.720 --> 01:56:53.399 they will pay and promote people like Riley Gaines. They 1753 01:56:53.479 --> 01:57:00.279 absolutely will to further this ridiculous, bigoted, nasty based US 1754 01:57:00.960 --> 01:57:04.039 agenda of theirs, because if you know, if you look 1755 01:57:04.079 --> 01:57:07.319 at the trans people, if you look at them, you're 1756 01:57:07.359 --> 01:57:08.640 not looking at what they're doing. 1757 01:57:08.760 --> 01:57:13.399 Biggots do love a participation trophy like the Confederate flag. 1758 01:57:13.520 --> 01:57:16.199 Yeah, they sure do so. Yeah, that is the new 1759 01:57:16.239 --> 01:57:19.880 strategy is to try to get is ballad initiatives, hoping 1760 01:57:20.000 --> 01:57:25.840 that we can't touch the hearts and minds of citizens. Right, 1761 01:57:26.039 --> 01:57:28.279 but you know, we also know how to fight a 1762 01:57:28.319 --> 01:57:35.079 ballat initiative. Ask Anita Bryant. We know how to fight 1763 01:57:35.119 --> 01:57:39.960 ballad initiatives too. Yes, we know how to turn hearts 1764 01:57:39.960 --> 01:57:45.239 and minds toward the truth of the matter. But Jesus Christ, 1765 01:57:45.640 --> 01:57:49.000 how ridiculous, how utterly, and what a waste of time. 1766 01:57:49.119 --> 01:57:53.399 We've solved every other problem in the world. So apparently 1767 01:57:54.760 --> 01:57:59.680 John lescal He slams JK. Rowling's transphobia and then defends 1768 01:57:59.680 --> 01:58:02.640 playing Dumbledore, right, uh huh. 1769 01:58:02.359 --> 01:58:06.600 Which is a testament to how talented John Liskow actually 1770 01:58:06.720 --> 01:58:08.800 is because he can talk out of both sides of 1771 01:58:08.800 --> 01:58:10.840 his face at the same fucking time, at the same 1772 01:58:10.960 --> 01:58:13.479 exact time. Yeah, that's brilliant. 1773 01:58:13.720 --> 01:58:15.520 I know, how about it. 1774 01:58:16.279 --> 01:58:20.000 That's really all. That's all that I wanted to just say, 1775 01:58:20.079 --> 01:58:22.000 Fuck John, lets go. It's a shame. I've been a 1776 01:58:22.039 --> 01:58:23.079 fan forever in a day. 1777 01:58:23.319 --> 01:58:27.920 So this is an upcoming HBO, upcoming Harry Potter television series. 1778 01:58:28.039 --> 01:58:30.560 Yeah, they're still making those shits and right. 1779 01:58:30.680 --> 01:58:33.680 So, while he will speak out against JK. Rowling her 1780 01:58:33.760 --> 01:58:38.399 rampant transphobia, he did defend his decision to take over 1781 01:58:38.880 --> 01:58:45.359 as Hogwarts headmaster in this new adaptation, saying it made 1782 01:58:45.439 --> 01:58:48.640 him uncomfortable and unhappy that people insisted he walk away 1783 01:58:48.680 --> 01:58:54.079 from the job, but he chose not to Yeah. He 1784 01:58:54.119 --> 01:58:57.359 spoke at the Rotterdam Film Festival, where he had a 1785 01:58:57.359 --> 01:59:01.720 film premiering asked how he felt about Rowling's hateful rhetoric. 1786 01:59:01.800 --> 01:59:06.079 I take the subject extremely seriously, just not seriously enough 1787 01:59:06.119 --> 01:59:09.359 to lose money. Correct. She has created the amazing canon 1788 01:59:09.399 --> 01:59:11.960 for young people and it has jumped and he can't 1789 01:59:12.000 --> 01:59:13.520 need the money that anyway. 1790 01:59:13.640 --> 01:59:14.159 I'm saying it. 1791 01:59:14.279 --> 01:59:18.399 Has jumped into the consciousness of this society. It's about 1792 01:59:18.439 --> 01:59:23.279 good versus evil, kindness versus cruelty. I find her views 1793 01:59:24.199 --> 01:59:28.239 ironic and inexplicable. I've never met her, and she's not 1794 01:59:28.319 --> 01:59:31.199 really involved in this production at all, but the people 1795 01:59:31.279 --> 01:59:33.039 who are are remarkable. 1796 01:59:33.600 --> 01:59:35.279 Uh huh, fuck them too. 1797 01:59:35.920 --> 01:59:41.880 Basically, it upsets me when people are opposed to me 1798 01:59:41.960 --> 01:59:45.520 having anything to do with this. But in the Potter 1799 01:59:45.640 --> 01:59:50.039 canon you see no trace of transphobic sensitivity. She's written 1800 01:59:50.359 --> 01:59:54.239 this mediation of kindness and acceptance. And Dumbledore is a 1801 01:59:54.279 --> 01:59:55.000 beautiful role. 1802 01:59:57.800 --> 02:00:00.399 Every non white character is a walking stay. 1803 02:00:00.760 --> 02:00:04.279 I'm the oldest person in the entire room, just turned eighty, 1804 02:00:04.920 --> 02:00:07.079 and yet I signed a contract I will be playing 1805 02:00:07.119 --> 02:00:10.239 Dumbledore for the next eight years. I absolutely have to 1806 02:00:10.359 --> 02:00:13.079 keep at it. I felt wow that means I will 1807 02:00:13.119 --> 02:00:15.319 live to be eighty eight. I have that in writing. 1808 02:00:16.399 --> 02:00:20.000 An audience member got up and left the room in 1809 02:00:20.039 --> 02:00:23.640 protest while he was talking and could be heard saying 1810 02:00:23.960 --> 02:00:27.720 things like these don't help, and the actor responded to 1811 02:00:27.760 --> 02:00:31.039 the abrupt exit by saying, I'm perfectly ready for collisions 1812 02:00:31.079 --> 02:00:36.159 of opinion. I understand it. Uh huh, yeah, you know. 1813 02:00:36.399 --> 02:00:41.119 I have such enormous respect for the people who actually 1814 02:00:41.199 --> 02:00:44.600 do need the money and turn it down anyway when 1815 02:00:44.600 --> 02:00:48.680 they learn, you know, and there was nothing to learn. 1816 02:00:48.960 --> 02:00:52.039 You know what Jaca does with that money exactly? Yeah, 1817 02:00:52.399 --> 02:00:54.039 but whatever, and. 1818 02:00:55.560 --> 02:00:57.159 John, let's go played a trans woman? 1819 02:00:58.079 --> 02:01:04.479 I know, I guess what what do we say? At 1820 02:01:04.560 --> 02:01:06.600 least he slammed or I don't. 1821 02:01:06.960 --> 02:01:09.560 Know, did he that didn't like a slam that was 1822 02:01:09.600 --> 02:01:15.000 barely a knock? Well, so someone who I was a 1823 02:01:15.079 --> 02:01:19.880 huge fan of turns out to be a double speaking hypocrite. 1824 02:01:21.000 --> 02:01:24.560 Well there's a lot of that. Yeah, yeah, there is, 1825 02:01:25.159 --> 02:01:31.039 there is. Let's take one more break, yes, so that 1826 02:01:31.119 --> 02:01:35.079 we can cleanse our palates with some pop culture. Yes, 1827 02:01:35.159 --> 02:01:35.920 we'll be right back. 1828 02:01:52.840 --> 02:01:55.279 We are back, We're back. 1829 02:01:57.520 --> 02:02:05.760 Wow, what's happening in pop culture? I've been in front 1830 02:02:05.760 --> 02:02:09.800 of the television. What's happening in otherwise it's been so 1831 02:02:09.920 --> 02:02:10.840 fucking could. 1832 02:02:11.000 --> 02:02:17.840 Right, Well, let's see, since we recorded last, the Grammys happened. Yes, 1833 02:02:18.319 --> 02:02:24.279 and there were two takeaways from the Grammys that I 1834 02:02:24.319 --> 02:02:26.800 personally care I did. We didn't watch the Grammys, we 1835 02:02:26.880 --> 02:02:30.479 did not, But there were things that happened that I 1836 02:02:30.560 --> 02:02:33.560 heard about and took to heart. First of all being 1837 02:02:34.079 --> 02:02:40.520 Eve finally received a Grammy for her verse in the 1838 02:02:40.600 --> 02:02:45.239 Roots song you Got Me after twenty seven years. 1839 02:02:45.479 --> 02:02:47.119 Okay, there was. 1840 02:02:47.079 --> 02:02:52.640 A Recording Academy Honors event and she was awarded a Grammy, 1841 02:02:52.880 --> 02:02:57.560 presented by the Black Music Collective. Okay, And it's crazy 1842 02:02:57.560 --> 02:03:01.840 because I only recently realized that that was her on 1843 02:03:02.039 --> 02:03:02.560 that song. 1844 02:03:02.680 --> 02:03:03.760 What was uncredited? 1845 02:03:04.239 --> 02:03:08.479 Well, yeah, And she wasn't like, she wasn't Eve yet. 1846 02:03:08.680 --> 02:03:13.840 She was just like a fierce Philly woman MC who 1847 02:03:13.920 --> 02:03:20.920 the Roots knew, right, just like Jill Scott wrote the 1848 02:03:21.000 --> 02:03:25.640 hook to the song. And she wasn't known yet. She 1849 02:03:25.840 --> 02:03:29.800 was just an up and coming, fabulous Philly performer. And 1850 02:03:29.880 --> 02:03:33.479 so they were told by their label that they needed 1851 02:03:33.800 --> 02:03:36.680 a name to be on the song if it was 1852 02:03:36.720 --> 02:03:38.439 going to be a single. And that is why Erica 1853 02:03:38.479 --> 02:03:43.520 Badou does the Hook and Erica has long since, you know, 1854 02:03:43.680 --> 02:03:49.199 given Jill her props for writing writing it and the 1855 02:03:49.279 --> 02:03:53.079 Roots come a live album Jill actually performed and it 1856 02:03:53.239 --> 02:03:59.600 is amazing. So yeah, it's so cool that Eve finally 1857 02:03:59.680 --> 02:04:03.319 received the recognition that she deserved. 1858 02:04:03.720 --> 02:04:05.239 Okay, you know cool. 1859 02:04:05.640 --> 02:04:10.039 And my one big takeaway from the main Grammys event 1860 02:04:10.159 --> 02:04:14.920 was Duran Bernard won a Grammy for Best Progressive R 1861 02:04:14.960 --> 02:04:20.479 and B Performance. Duran Bernard is he was a fifteen 1862 02:04:20.479 --> 02:04:25.000 minute fave a little while ago. Actually, I first discovered 1863 02:04:25.079 --> 02:04:29.520 him when he was primarily a backup singer for Erica Baidu. 1864 02:04:30.159 --> 02:04:32.600 It was a video of him. She gave him a 1865 02:04:32.640 --> 02:04:37.840 solo and he just went off. That man can sing 1866 02:04:37.960 --> 02:04:42.840 his little queer ass face off. He is an amazing 1867 02:04:42.960 --> 02:04:46.600 talent and like, just based on that one solo, I 1868 02:04:46.720 --> 02:04:49.159 was like, oh my god, who is this person, Duran Bernard? 1869 02:04:49.279 --> 02:04:51.720 Let me follow him, let me just know all I 1870 02:04:51.800 --> 02:04:56.439 can because that voice. And he finally got a Grammy. 1871 02:04:56.479 --> 02:05:02.600 He'd been nominated several times for a peering on people's music, 1872 02:05:03.239 --> 02:05:06.560 but this was his first time winning of his own accord. 1873 02:05:07.199 --> 02:05:14.039 And I want to read his acceptance speech because it 1874 02:05:14.079 --> 02:05:18.000 is wonderful. First of all I love like. He comes 1875 02:05:18.520 --> 02:05:23.920 trotting up from the back like a cartoon character, because 1876 02:05:24.000 --> 02:05:25.520 he said he sat in the back of see anything 1877 02:05:25.560 --> 02:05:31.760 he's gonna win. So he says, Happy Black History Month 1878 02:05:31.800 --> 02:05:34.399 for the rest of my life. That's how we opened, 1879 02:05:34.520 --> 02:05:34.680 did it? 1880 02:05:35.039 --> 02:05:37.279 Okay? Okay? 1881 02:05:37.680 --> 02:05:40.960 He said, listen, I want to remind everyone that we 1882 02:05:41.039 --> 02:05:43.880 are all we got and we know who I'm referring to. 1883 02:05:43.960 --> 02:05:47.720 So please give yourself some grace and extend your kindness 1884 02:05:47.920 --> 02:05:51.039 to your neighbor who needs it, to all the independent 1885 02:05:51.119 --> 02:05:53.920 artists out there, and to every butch queen who has 1886 02:05:54.000 --> 02:05:56.960 ever made to feel like they were too much. I 1887 02:05:57.000 --> 02:05:59.439 am the proof that you needed and the sign you've 1888 02:05:59.479 --> 02:06:04.039 been waiting for, be yourself. And his mother and his 1889 02:06:04.079 --> 02:06:07.640 father were up on stage with him. It was so cool. 1890 02:06:07.760 --> 02:06:08.199 I love that. 1891 02:06:08.479 --> 02:06:14.239 Yes, And there's a small list of people who I 1892 02:06:14.319 --> 02:06:18.800 feel like I discovered, which basically means I found out 1893 02:06:18.800 --> 02:06:20.960 about them just a little bit before it became popular, 1894 02:06:21.199 --> 02:06:24.439 and I predicted all these things for them, and they've 1895 02:06:24.439 --> 02:06:27.760 come to fruition. First it was Dual Lipa, then it 1896 02:06:27.840 --> 02:06:31.319 was Bob the Drag Queen, now Duran Bernard. It's like 1897 02:06:31.920 --> 02:06:34.880 everything I see, I've seen for these people has come 1898 02:06:35.000 --> 02:06:36.680 to fruition and I love it. 1899 02:06:36.760 --> 02:06:39.479 Let it, let it, let it, love it. Okay, okay, 1900 02:06:40.159 --> 02:06:44.399 what do we have next? Oh, Wendy and Lisa have 1901 02:06:44.520 --> 02:06:50.720 revealed a new supergroup replacing the Revolution. Yes, oh, it's. 1902 02:06:50.600 --> 02:06:53.520 Gonna be Lisa, Wendy and Annie Lennox. 1903 02:06:54.119 --> 02:06:54.479 Wow. 1904 02:06:56.039 --> 02:06:58.760 Wow, that's what I said. 1905 02:06:58.840 --> 02:07:05.960 Oh my yeah, okay. Of course they worked with Prince 1906 02:07:06.640 --> 02:07:11.520 right the harmonic backbone of the Revolution, Wendy and Lisa 1907 02:07:11.640 --> 02:07:15.479 helped sculpt to the emotional architecture of Purple Rain, forever 1908 02:07:15.560 --> 02:07:19.239 etching their names into pop history. But now, in a 1909 02:07:19.319 --> 02:07:22.880 move that few saw coming, they're officially stepping out of 1910 02:07:22.920 --> 02:07:27.239 the Purple shadow, and they're doing it by starting over 1911 02:07:27.760 --> 02:07:32.079 with a collaborator just as iconic as their former band leader. 1912 02:07:32.520 --> 02:07:36.319 How about that. I love it. That's going to be interesting. 1913 02:07:36.640 --> 02:07:37.920 That's a powerhouse trio. 1914 02:07:38.680 --> 02:07:43.680 I know. I'm excited. Apparently it all started because they 1915 02:07:43.720 --> 02:07:46.520 were seated together at a Joni Mitchell concert. 1916 02:07:46.800 --> 02:07:47.319 How about that? 1917 02:07:47.479 --> 02:07:50.079 And they just started like talking and like hanging out, 1918 02:07:50.159 --> 02:07:51.720 and it became a thing. 1919 02:07:52.159 --> 02:07:55.359 Do you realize it's going to be ten years since 1920 02:07:55.399 --> 02:08:00.000 we lost Prince this year? I know, And I'm still 1921 02:08:00.760 --> 02:08:02.239 I know, damn time flies. 1922 02:08:02.520 --> 02:08:06.520 But Wendy and Lisa, they they got props, but they 1923 02:08:06.560 --> 02:08:10.119 never got the props that they actually deserve. Like. It 1924 02:08:10.159 --> 02:08:14.319 wasn't until very very very recently after Prince died. I 1925 02:08:14.319 --> 02:08:17.960 think it might have been when we saw the Revolution perform. 1926 02:08:18.119 --> 02:08:21.319 Right, we did, and and they were great. 1927 02:08:21.199 --> 02:08:25.760 They were fabulous. But one of the iconic guitar solos 1928 02:08:26.760 --> 02:08:31.039 in uh, I want to say, Let's go crazy, it's 1929 02:08:31.079 --> 02:08:34.640 either let's go crazy or Purple Rain. I always thought 1930 02:08:34.680 --> 02:08:35.239 it was Prince. 1931 02:08:35.399 --> 02:08:38.119 It was Wendy. 1932 02:08:37.840 --> 02:08:41.600 Because they said at the beginning of the concert that 1933 02:08:42.319 --> 02:08:44.520 they were all doing their own parts. There was no 1934 02:08:45.199 --> 02:08:47.680 lead singer. The audience is going to be the lead singer. 1935 02:08:47.960 --> 02:08:51.000 Well, right, they did have a singer album, they had 1936 02:08:51.039 --> 02:08:55.119 they had guests, certain who certain of the prints. 1937 02:08:55.359 --> 02:08:59.760 Yeah, lyrics, yes, but for the most part, you know, 1938 02:09:00.119 --> 02:09:02.560 is like sing along with the Revolution. 1939 02:09:02.800 --> 02:09:03.439 It really was. 1940 02:09:04.119 --> 02:09:06.760 And when what a great show it really was. And 1941 02:09:06.800 --> 02:09:09.079 when she came out and hit that solo, I was like, 1942 02:09:09.520 --> 02:09:10.920 oh my god, that was your part. 1943 02:09:11.119 --> 02:09:12.199 How about that bitch? 1944 02:09:13.640 --> 02:09:17.000 Which is a testament to how fabulous of a guitar player. 1945 02:09:18.119 --> 02:09:21.439 If I thought it was Prince and it could have been. 1946 02:09:22.920 --> 02:09:26.800 So amazing talent. So this is going to be something. 1947 02:09:26.840 --> 02:09:29.880 Yeah, I can't wait to see because Annie Lennox has 1948 02:09:29.920 --> 02:09:34.000 always been amazing except for when she sang strange Fruit 1949 02:09:34.039 --> 02:09:34.920 on that one album. 1950 02:09:35.399 --> 02:09:40.000 Yeah, but that's while. 1951 02:09:40.479 --> 02:09:43.840 While it's not a small misstep, that's the only misstep 1952 02:09:43.840 --> 02:09:44.439 I can think of. 1953 02:09:44.680 --> 02:09:53.600 Just say no, just say no, you know. Yeah, And 1954 02:09:53.760 --> 02:09:57.039 do you remember David Underwood telling us that story. I 1955 02:09:57.079 --> 02:10:00.319 do when he was playing a tavern on Kameack and 1956 02:10:00.399 --> 02:10:02.960 someone asked for strange Fruit and wanted to sing along. 1957 02:10:02.960 --> 02:10:05.600 It was a way, dude, and he said, absolutely, not right. 1958 02:10:06.119 --> 02:10:07.880 I don't care if they fire me. I don't care 1959 02:10:07.920 --> 02:10:09.399 what they do. I don't get no. 1960 02:10:09.680 --> 02:10:12.920 Yeah, not even no. Didn't want David to sing it, 1961 02:10:13.239 --> 02:10:16.760 didn't want to sing with David. Wanted David to accompany 1962 02:10:16.800 --> 02:10:18.840 his white ass while he sang strange. 1963 02:10:18.520 --> 02:10:21.760 Fruit, and David said, that will not happen. No, it 1964 02:10:21.800 --> 02:10:24.159 will not, and it didn't. 1965 02:10:24.560 --> 02:10:27.600 I will step on your foot and walk away first. 1966 02:10:28.119 --> 02:10:32.520 Other than that part, an amazing talent, and I don't 1967 02:10:32.600 --> 02:10:36.520 think that they would let her sing it again when 1968 02:10:36.600 --> 02:10:39.039 in Lisa, No, I don't think they would allow that. 1969 02:10:39.119 --> 02:10:41.680 So I think I think moving forward were good. 1970 02:10:44.000 --> 02:10:46.359 But yeah, this one's for you. 1971 02:10:46.520 --> 02:10:51.159 I know this one upset me. Dame Prue Leith is 1972 02:10:51.279 --> 02:10:54.920 leaving The Great British Bake Off. I know she's been 1973 02:10:54.960 --> 02:10:57.880 there for almost a decade as a judge. She is 1974 02:10:58.000 --> 02:11:02.880 eighty six years old, so you know fair anything she 1975 02:11:02.920 --> 02:11:05.399 wants to do at this point is more than fair. 1976 02:11:06.079 --> 02:11:08.359 She replaced Dame Mary Berry. 1977 02:11:08.640 --> 02:11:14.520 Right on the series in twenty seventeen, appearing alongside Paul Hollywood. 1978 02:11:14.720 --> 02:11:17.039 So there was a shake up. At one time it 1979 02:11:17.119 --> 02:11:20.479 was on BBC and then moved to Channel four, right, 1980 02:11:20.960 --> 02:11:23.079 And apparently when it moved to Channel four, like the 1981 02:11:23.199 --> 02:11:24.319 cast changed. 1982 02:11:24.720 --> 02:11:28.039 Okay, And I guess I only was paying attention from 1983 02:11:28.039 --> 02:11:29.800 that point four because it's always been proved for me. 1984 02:11:30.079 --> 02:11:33.199 It's always been proved for me as well. Anyway, that's 1985 02:11:33.199 --> 02:11:36.600 a shirt. She already had stepped down from the celebrity 1986 02:11:36.680 --> 02:11:40.319 version of Bakoff in twenty twenty four, replaced there by 1987 02:11:40.439 --> 02:11:46.359 Lady Caroline Waldegrave. Looks like sure, Allison Hammond and Noel 1988 02:11:46.439 --> 02:11:51.079 Fieldling continue to be the presenters. I like Alan. I 1989 02:11:51.119 --> 02:11:55.479 assume Paul Hollywood is not going anywhere she but I 1990 02:11:55.520 --> 02:12:01.600 will miss her, Yeah, I really will miss her. What 1991 02:12:01.760 --> 02:12:05.640 an interesting person and. 1992 02:12:05.319 --> 02:12:07.159 So fabulous, just fabulous. 1993 02:12:07.239 --> 02:12:12.079 Yeah, just fun and colorful and fabulous. And her critiques 1994 02:12:12.079 --> 02:12:13.479 were not mean spirited. 1995 02:12:14.199 --> 02:12:15.520 I mean none of them words. 1996 02:12:15.600 --> 02:12:17.920 Well, I mean, Paul Hollywood can get a little uh, 1997 02:12:18.560 --> 02:12:22.359 you know, make you question your birth. But you know, 1998 02:12:22.439 --> 02:12:24.880 she really never did. But she, you know, would kind 1999 02:12:24.880 --> 02:12:26.840 of say, you know, that could be better, or I 2000 02:12:26.880 --> 02:12:29.479 can't even taste that part, or you know, I'm sorry 2001 02:12:29.479 --> 02:12:31.800 that's anyway. I like the way that she did it. 2002 02:12:31.840 --> 02:12:35.039 She wasn't humanizing about any of it. And I love 2003 02:12:35.119 --> 02:12:37.600 how she she can be funny. Oh tell you, Yeah, I. 2004 02:12:37.560 --> 02:12:40.439 Was gonna say, I love how she leans into the 2005 02:12:40.479 --> 02:12:41.840 fact that she likes to drink a little. 2006 02:12:44.920 --> 02:12:48.520 Yeah, that's an ongoing thing, is her. 2007 02:12:48.760 --> 02:12:50.439 I made it extra boozy just for. 2008 02:12:50.439 --> 02:12:57.000 You, for you. I added some extra just for Prue. Well, 2009 02:12:57.359 --> 02:13:01.840 we will miss her. She's fabulous, right, but we will 2010 02:13:01.880 --> 02:13:06.880 have reruns. Yeah, we'll always have those. Yeah. So let's 2011 02:13:06.880 --> 02:13:10.680 talk about what we've watched so we You remember so 2012 02:13:10.760 --> 02:13:11.640 much better than I do. 2013 02:13:11.840 --> 02:13:12.760 Yeah, some of the stuff. 2014 02:13:12.800 --> 02:13:14.760 We watched The Roses a while ago. 2015 02:13:14.840 --> 02:13:18.000 Yeah, the Roses was refreshed me. 2016 02:13:18.880 --> 02:13:21.760 It was not the War of the Roses, but its similar. 2017 02:13:22.439 --> 02:13:27.880 Okay, So the Roses is based on the book. It's 2018 02:13:27.920 --> 02:13:31.560 a more direct adaptation of the book that War of 2019 02:13:31.600 --> 02:13:36.920 the Roses was also right adapt and adaptation though it was, 2020 02:13:36.960 --> 02:13:39.800 but it was more direct and Dervido took a little 2021 02:13:39.840 --> 02:13:43.079 bit more creative license with his. 2022 02:13:43.159 --> 02:13:46.560 Version and a dark, twisted ending, which this one didn't have. 2023 02:13:47.920 --> 02:13:53.319 Differently, yeah, differently, okay, but this was a Benedett Cumberbatch. Yeah, 2024 02:13:53.319 --> 02:13:54.680 and Olivia Coleman. 2025 02:13:54.520 --> 02:13:56.600 That's right, Olivia Coleman played the wife. 2026 02:13:56.640 --> 02:13:56.920 It was. 2027 02:13:57.199 --> 02:13:58.039 It was entertaining. 2028 02:13:58.159 --> 02:14:02.000 I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed War of 2029 02:14:02.039 --> 02:14:02.520 the Roses. 2030 02:14:02.560 --> 02:14:05.279 I love that movie, and I think it's so dark. 2031 02:14:05.600 --> 02:14:07.000 Well that's why. 2032 02:14:08.680 --> 02:14:11.680 You've never been divorced, fabulous director. Now I have. 2033 02:14:13.600 --> 02:14:15.359 And it came out right around the time of my 2034 02:14:15.439 --> 02:14:18.439 first divorce, as I recall, or I saw it around 2035 02:14:18.479 --> 02:14:19.560 the time of my first warce. 2036 02:14:19.600 --> 02:14:21.399 So it just didn't say, well, I was gonna say, so, 2037 02:14:21.439 --> 02:14:23.800 your feelings are not necessarily the movie's fault. 2038 02:14:24.319 --> 02:14:26.479 No, because I watched it much later, because I had 2039 02:14:26.520 --> 02:14:30.920 actually I told someone that they needed to watch that movie, 2040 02:14:31.680 --> 02:14:36.319 and I thought that they would find it instructive. I'll 2041 02:14:36.319 --> 02:14:39.279 just leave it there, and they did, and so I thought, 2042 02:14:39.359 --> 02:14:41.279 let me rewatch it, but. 2043 02:14:41.520 --> 02:14:44.720 This version was actually more laugh out loud funny to me. 2044 02:14:45.000 --> 02:14:47.840 It was funny. Yeah, parts of it were really funny. 2045 02:14:47.880 --> 02:14:50.760 The performances were wonderful, the cast was great. 2046 02:14:51.119 --> 02:14:54.520 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. 2047 02:14:54.960 --> 02:14:59.920 Love Is Strange, Yeah, that was the film with a John. 2048 02:15:00.119 --> 02:15:00.439 Let's go. 2049 02:15:02.039 --> 02:15:05.720 It was John Lithgow and Alfred Millina. They play an 2050 02:15:05.760 --> 02:15:10.239 older gay couple and they have this wonderful life together 2051 02:15:10.279 --> 02:15:13.000 in New York until af Millina loses. 2052 02:15:12.680 --> 02:15:14.760 His job because they get married. 2053 02:15:14.960 --> 02:15:18.760 Because they got married, right, and. 2054 02:15:18.479 --> 02:15:21.079 So they're heavy and he taught in a Catholic school. 2055 02:15:20.880 --> 02:15:23.520 Right, which is a story that we've seen before. Oh 2056 02:15:23.600 --> 02:15:27.600 yeah we have, and they've had they had to like 2057 02:15:27.960 --> 02:15:30.560 temporarily move in with their younger friends. 2058 02:15:30.960 --> 02:15:32.680 Yeah, and the high jinks. 2059 02:15:32.399 --> 02:15:34.840 That ensued because of it. 2060 02:15:35.600 --> 02:15:38.279 A good character study. I thought it was. It was 2061 02:15:38.319 --> 02:15:41.119 a great movie, really sweet, It really was. I enjoyed it. 2062 02:15:41.199 --> 02:15:45.239 John Lithgow being a two faced hypocrite has nothing to 2063 02:15:45.279 --> 02:15:47.680 do with the fact that he's always been a talented act. 2064 02:15:47.640 --> 02:15:50.920 That is true. There you go, like it was, yeah, 2065 02:15:50.960 --> 02:15:52.680 and it was. It was a good movie. 2066 02:15:52.960 --> 02:15:56.199 Yeah, that was When did that come out twenty four. 2067 02:15:57.359 --> 02:16:00.800 I think, yeah, twenty fourteen of fourteen. 2068 02:16:00.960 --> 02:16:04.880 It was that old. I didn't realize that. Okay, Okay, 2069 02:16:05.000 --> 02:16:06.880 I don't know where we heard. I think it was 2070 02:16:06.920 --> 02:16:09.880 something came up as you know, you might like in 2071 02:16:09.920 --> 02:16:12.000 the suggestions or whatever, and I was like, how do 2072 02:16:12.039 --> 02:16:12.800 we miss this one? 2073 02:16:12.920 --> 02:16:13.079 Right? 2074 02:16:13.119 --> 02:16:16.079 Okay, So it's older than I thought I was. But 2075 02:16:16.119 --> 02:16:16.680 it was good. 2076 02:16:16.800 --> 02:16:21.279 It was good. I recommend it, even though, you know, hypocrite. 2077 02:16:21.920 --> 02:16:28.199 Anyway, someone told me I simply must see I saw 2078 02:16:28.239 --> 02:16:29.319 the TV Glow. 2079 02:16:29.800 --> 02:16:33.879 Yeah, and that had been on my to watch list 2080 02:16:34.600 --> 02:16:37.840 since it came out, because it is twenty twenty four. 2081 02:16:38.280 --> 02:16:42.879 You know. I kept hearing all these trans people mention 2082 02:16:43.120 --> 02:16:46.639 this movie, and I guess, if you squint, it's a 2083 02:16:46.680 --> 02:16:49.399 trans allegory. I guess. Yeah. 2084 02:16:50.399 --> 02:16:53.520 All I heard was that it was so fabulous. It 2085 02:16:53.600 --> 02:16:58.840 was a horror movie and it had a positive trans representation. 2086 02:16:58.920 --> 02:17:00.680 That was literally the only thing see it. 2087 02:17:01.520 --> 02:17:08.000 I mean, eh, we hated it, yeah, because it's it. 2088 02:17:08.239 --> 02:17:12.280 There's no one has ever stated to be trans. We 2089 02:17:12.639 --> 02:17:14.079 can kind of infer. 2090 02:17:14.079 --> 02:17:17.319 No one is stated to be anything, and no one 2091 02:17:17.520 --> 02:17:22.440 said anything, and they spoke really slowly when they said nothing. 2092 02:17:22.559 --> 02:17:27.280 It was odd. I did not. The only thing I 2093 02:17:27.280 --> 02:17:29.360 remember thinking at the end was that time I'll never 2094 02:17:29.399 --> 02:17:32.399 get back. And when you you know it once again, 2095 02:17:32.479 --> 02:17:36.239 it's that if it's so cerebral, it goes over my head. 2096 02:17:36.319 --> 02:17:38.600 Well, this is what I'm saying. There is a difference 2097 02:17:38.639 --> 02:17:44.959 between making a film that is an allegory and filming 2098 02:17:45.000 --> 02:17:50.760 an allegory. Okay, because let's take for instance, the Matrix. 2099 02:17:50.840 --> 02:17:54.840 The Matrix is a trans allegory. However, if you don't 2100 02:17:55.079 --> 02:17:58.200 catch any of that, if you don't notice any of that, 2101 02:17:58.440 --> 02:17:59.479 it is still. 2102 02:17:59.719 --> 02:18:01.879 A movie in your opinion. 2103 02:18:02.639 --> 02:18:05.799 Yes, in my and many many many other people's opinions. 2104 02:18:05.840 --> 02:18:09.479 But for purposes of this conversation, it's just the two 2105 02:18:09.479 --> 02:18:13.840 of us in the room, and you're not stating both 2106 02:18:13.920 --> 02:18:16.479 opinions when you say that that's all. 2107 02:18:18.120 --> 02:18:22.680 I but this was just like they just like I'm 2108 02:18:22.680 --> 02:18:25.399 going to make a trans allegory and they forgot to 2109 02:18:25.440 --> 02:18:26.040 make a movie. 2110 02:18:26.719 --> 02:18:29.280 Kind of That's how I felt about that. 2111 02:18:29.239 --> 02:18:30.440 That's what they did, and. 2112 02:18:30.399 --> 02:18:33.799 I was like, you know, I saw where Okay, I 2113 02:18:33.799 --> 02:18:37.360 guess the themes, you know, it's sort of what was happening, Like, yeah, 2114 02:18:37.360 --> 02:18:39.280 I guess you can kind of sort of compare it 2115 02:18:39.319 --> 02:18:44.680 to being trans I guess, I guess, sure, right, but 2116 02:18:45.280 --> 02:18:47.760 that it touched me and spoke to me so deeply 2117 02:18:47.959 --> 02:18:53.719 like nom and the acting was not superlative in my 2118 02:18:53.799 --> 02:18:56.799 humble opinion, and that always takes me out of a 2119 02:18:56.840 --> 02:19:01.239 story when I want to give them directions, I'm like, 2120 02:19:01.680 --> 02:19:05.360 this is not finished, Like y'all are still rehearsing. I 2121 02:19:05.559 --> 02:19:07.920 it did give that, Like there couldn't have been a script, 2122 02:19:08.680 --> 02:19:12.280 y'all just all ad lived right, and then threw it together. 2123 02:19:12.319 --> 02:19:14.000 And oh, there was a few times when I was like, 2124 02:19:14.000 --> 02:19:14.879 who the fuck wrote this? 2125 02:19:15.280 --> 02:19:17.079 Yeah, it happened more than once. 2126 02:19:17.399 --> 02:19:19.360 Well, and here's the thing, like, at least the one 2127 02:19:20.440 --> 02:19:24.159 lead actor, I know that he is a good actor 2128 02:19:24.200 --> 02:19:27.159 because we've seen him in other things we have, so 2129 02:19:27.680 --> 02:19:31.719 you know these were obvious choices. Yeah, but god damn. 2130 02:19:32.479 --> 02:19:33.120 Yeah. 2131 02:19:33.360 --> 02:19:39.319 It's that thing that choreographers do that I hate when 2132 02:19:39.840 --> 02:19:43.239 they have their core idea that the piece is about, 2133 02:19:43.440 --> 02:19:47.639 and then they abstract the idea, and then they abstract 2134 02:19:47.680 --> 02:19:50.719 the abstraction and then they put that on stage. Yep, 2135 02:19:51.760 --> 02:19:52.799 that's what this felt like. 2136 02:19:52.959 --> 02:19:56.440 And many people are left going feeling stupid because they 2137 02:19:56.440 --> 02:19:59.159 didn't get it, and it's like, well, you couldn't have 2138 02:19:59.239 --> 02:20:01.799 without a road map in a fucking flashlight. There was 2139 02:20:01.840 --> 02:20:05.959 no getting that is often the case, right, because yeah, yeah, 2140 02:20:06.079 --> 02:20:10.760 time and again, and that's just how I felt about this, Like, and. 2141 02:20:10.719 --> 02:20:13.319 That's it the roadmap you need. You got to give 2142 02:20:13.360 --> 02:20:15.120 me something to hold on to. 2143 02:20:15.600 --> 02:20:20.159 Yeah, it really didn't hold. I kept waiting for it 2144 02:20:20.200 --> 02:20:23.719 to go somewhere right, and it just. 2145 02:20:25.159 --> 02:20:28.479 Yeah.

Mariah Carey sang, and there's a lot 2330 02:30:47.639 --> 02:30:51.040 of queer athletes who are kicking ass and taking names, 2331 02:30:52.120 --> 02:30:54.399 but we haven't really watched them because you're stuck in 2332 02:30:54.479 --> 02:30:56.120 Chicago and I'm busy. 2333 02:30:56.200 --> 02:30:59.840 Yeah at work.

But that's what 2343 02:31:26.040 --> 02:31:26.559 that looks like. 2344 02:31:28.120 --> 02:31:31.760 Right, Teaching it how to I don't know, do what stuff. 2345 02:31:32.399 --> 02:31:36.319 It's weird yeah to my fan, yeah, but some of 2346 02:31:36.319 --> 02:31:37.399 it it's fun. 2347 02:31:37.520 --> 02:31:39.920 Yeah.

It reminds me 2355 02:32:12.840 --> 02:32:18.920 that Robin Williams bit like, that's like what crazy Austrian 2356 02:32:19.040 --> 02:32:21.239 came up with it. It's like I'll stick in an ice 2357 02:32:21.239 --> 02:32:23.760 skate up my ass and wear a skin tight onesie 2358 02:32:23.760 --> 02:32:25.120 and go flying down the. 2359 02:32:25.079 --> 02:32:25.600 Slough of it. 2360 02:32:25.799 --> 02:32:28.799 Basically, it's like how do you steer? They'll do kekels 2361 02:32:29.600 --> 02:32:34.440 ye well, and as far as I can tell, that's 2362 02:32:34.440 --> 02:32:35.639 what that is basically. 2363 02:32:36.799 --> 02:32:42.520 Basically. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't have a story. I'm not 2364 02:32:42.559 --> 02:32:44.159 into it. Yeah. 2365 02:32:44.159 --> 02:32:46.959 I like the Olympics, but I only like the things 2366 02:32:46.959 --> 02:32:47.399 that I like. 2367 02:32:48.159 --> 02:32:52.520 So it's competition and it's just now that. 2368 02:32:53.799 --> 02:32:57.440 The big thing is apparently some white boy did a 2369 02:32:57.479 --> 02:33:01.559 backflip and everyone's losing their ship. It like that's the 2370 02:33:01.600 --> 02:33:04.399 first time that any figure skater has ever done a backflip. 2371 02:33:04.719 --> 02:33:07.559 Like Sarria Boni Ley didn't do it like thirty goddamn 2372 02:33:07.639 --> 02:33:11.680 years ago, but she was black, so no one cares. Yeah, 2373 02:33:11.719 --> 02:33:14.719 when she did it. It immediately became disqualified because whenever a 2374 02:33:14.760 --> 02:33:16.920 black athlete does some shit that everybody else can't do, 2375 02:33:16.920 --> 02:33:21.280 they disqualify the shit. So no fair, that was right, 2376 02:33:21.559 --> 02:33:23.239 so fair that was the big thing. 2377 02:33:23.479 --> 02:33:26.319 It's not fair. I'm worthless, right? 2378 02:33:26.440 --> 02:33:30.040 And I saw the still shots and his back flip 2379 02:33:30.079 --> 02:33:32.239 wasn't even as fierce as hers, and she landed on 2380 02:33:32.239 --> 02:33:38.399 one fucking foot, so anywhow wow, wearing fierce blue eyeshadow. 2381 02:33:39.120 --> 02:33:44.159 There you go, him or her she was, And then they. 2382 02:33:44.040 --> 02:33:46.680 Gave her silver. I remember this, I watched this in 2383 02:33:46.719 --> 02:33:49.399 real time. Yeah, she did that shit. And then they 2384 02:33:49.440 --> 02:33:52.120 gave her silver, and they gave some bitch that she 2385 02:33:52.239 --> 02:33:54.639 was better than the gold. And she stood there and 2386 02:33:54.680 --> 02:33:57.479 she snatched her or her metal off her off her neck, 2387 02:33:57.639 --> 02:33:59.559 and she just stood there while they booed her. And 2388 02:33:59.600 --> 02:34:04.000 she was like what right? I loved that woman and 2389 02:34:04.040 --> 02:34:05.319 they did her so dirty. 2390 02:34:05.840 --> 02:34:11.920 Yeah, well, you know, shouldn't be surprised, not but yeah, yeah, 2391 02:34:12.520 --> 02:34:16.479 speaking of sports ball. 2392 02:34:15.159 --> 02:34:19.520 Oh yeah, the the thing that happens before and after 2393 02:34:19.639 --> 02:34:21.079 the concert. 2394 02:34:21.440 --> 02:34:24.360 Yes, that's what's it called the It was the super Bowl. 2395 02:34:24.440 --> 02:34:26.040 Oh yeah, I was going to say that the dish 2396 02:34:26.120 --> 02:34:27.239 that's great or something. 2397 02:34:27.680 --> 02:34:29.479 This was Super Bowl sixty. 2398 02:34:29.760 --> 02:34:33.559 Yees, super Bowl sixty.
