WEBVTT - It Got My Stem's Attention 0:00:08.860 --> 0:00:12.720 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:12.740 --> 0:00:17.770 George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong 0:00:17.820 --> 0:00:18.570 and Getty. 0:00:18.710 --> 0:00:24.230 And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.870 Sarkeesian and Rowe making headlines with the head coach appearing 0:00:33.909 --> 0:00:36.160 to blow her off during a post-game interview. 0:00:36.260 --> 0:00:38.590 That interview moment going viral on social media. 0:00:39.020 --> 0:00:43.100 Then sparking a fake AI video showing Sarkeesian backhanding Rowe, 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:46.979 knocking her to the ground. Manning apologizing on Instagram, saying, 0:00:47.090 --> 0:00:49.210 I know my words and actions were hurtful to a 0:00:49.229 --> 0:00:52.089 lot of people. I specifically want to apologize to Holly 0:00:52.150 --> 0:00:54.350 Rowe for what she has personally had to deal with 0:00:54.410 --> 0:00:56.670 because of my comments, adding, I have a ton of 0:00:56.710 --> 0:00:59.620 respect for her and appreciate her showing me grace in 0:00:59.770 --> 0:01:00.300 this moment. 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:05.700 Arch, Arch, Arch, Arch, Arch, don't ever apologize to these people. Don't. 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.179 No, he has to. You know, I wish we had 0:01:08.220 --> 0:01:11.580 the audio of what he said. We have it. 0:01:11.709 --> 0:01:14.970 Oh, we do? Here we go. You all seen that one? 0:01:14.990 --> 0:01:25.630 How's it going? Of him slapping Holly Roe? A college 0:01:25.730 --> 0:01:29.470 kid laughed at a meme. Oh, my God. 0:01:29.490 --> 0:01:33.640 An AI video of somebody he knows doing something he 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.940 would never, ever do in real life. And the 20-year-old 0:01:37.020 --> 0:01:39.699 man or whatever this kid is, whatever his age is, 0:01:40.230 --> 0:01:43.250 he laughed and said, oh, that's a good one. And 0:01:43.310 --> 0:01:45.610 now we all have to come out with our statements 0:01:45.670 --> 0:01:47.070 that violence against women is. 0:01:47.010 --> 0:01:50.010 Abhorrent, which, of course, it is. Blah, blah, blah. 0:01:50.030 --> 0:01:53.580 See, I would be a bad public relations manager because 0:01:53.620 --> 0:01:56.220 I would dig in. I would say, no, we're not 0:01:56.260 --> 0:01:57.360 apologizing for this. 0:01:59.300 --> 0:01:59.700 I laughed. 0:01:59.740 --> 0:02:02.240 It didn't mean anything. Of course, I don't promote violence. 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.430 It's funny because it's over the top. That's why it's funny. 0:02:05.470 --> 0:02:07.450 It's funny because nobody would ever do that. That's what 0:02:07.490 --> 0:02:10.609 people are laughing about. It's so outlandish. That's the point 0:02:10.650 --> 0:02:11.190 of the joke. 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:12.850 Right, right. 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:13.580 And. 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:16.460 I'd forgotten about it until this. Yes, Katie? You have 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.240 an opinion on this? Oh, no, I thought the. 0:02:18.180 --> 0:02:20.100 Video was hilarious, and I bet you there are other 0:02:20.139 --> 0:02:21.060 chicks that thought it was. 0:02:21.020 --> 0:02:23.040 Funny, too. You know who laughed at it? Practically everybody 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.400 who saw it. Yeah, come on. And him laughing at it? 0:02:25.500 --> 0:02:29.220 A college kid, of all things, laughing at it. Official 0:02:29.300 --> 0:02:29.820 on-air meeting. 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:31.980 We've got to come up with, and I know we 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.480 have it somewhere in the archives, the Ricky Gervais bit 0:02:34.580 --> 0:02:37.960 about why people laugh at things they find abhorrent. What's 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:44.150 going on psychologically? And this pretense... that the moral would 0:02:44.190 --> 0:02:47.570 be moral superiors use that he laughed. Therefore, he thought 0:02:47.590 --> 0:02:49.790 it was funny. Therefore, he is a bad person. And 0:02:49.870 --> 0:02:51.890 as a good person, I am now above him and 0:02:51.910 --> 0:02:53.690 will lecture him at length and make him grovel at 0:02:53.730 --> 0:02:55.630 my feet because that's what's going on here. 0:02:55.930 --> 0:02:59.130 And to make him say the words, I apologize for 0:02:59.190 --> 0:03:02.130 all the hurt and pain that I've caused. No hurt 0:03:02.270 --> 0:03:05.740 and pain was received by that reporter. 0:03:06.460 --> 0:03:07.040 Good Lord. 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:11.230 And then I liked this angle particularly. Because it's one 0:03:11.250 --> 0:03:13.929 of my favorite Saturday Night Live bits of all time. Hey, 0:03:13.990 --> 0:03:17.310 his uncle, Peyton Manning, remember when they had that bit 0:03:17.350 --> 0:03:19.770 for the United Way where he was a quarterback with 0:03:19.810 --> 0:03:21.490 a bunch of little kids out in a field and 0:03:21.510 --> 0:03:24.090 he was drilling them in the face with a football saying, 0:03:24.370 --> 0:03:25.790 come on, catch the ball. 0:03:25.950 --> 0:03:28.290 What do you want to lose? I mean, it was 0:03:28.310 --> 0:03:33.700 just hilarious. Because it was so outrageous and out of character. 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:34.300 Right. 0:03:34.340 --> 0:03:34.780 Duh. 0:03:35.060 --> 0:03:37.880 But, Jack, that attitude doesn't allow you to come off 0:03:37.970 --> 0:03:39.410 as the moral paragon. 0:03:39.430 --> 0:03:41.530 That was one of the funniest things, Sarah. The fact 0:03:41.570 --> 0:03:44.450 that Peyton Manning agreed to do that is so funny. 0:03:45.150 --> 0:03:47.210 So funny. Stuck the kid in the outhouse. 0:03:47.490 --> 0:03:48.030 I remember that. 0:03:48.070 --> 0:03:49.670 Yeah, he put the kid in the outhouse and made 0:03:49.710 --> 0:03:51.530 him stay in there because he couldn't catch the ball. 0:03:53.130 --> 0:03:56.910 He's firing just BBs across the field at these little kids. 0:03:56.970 --> 0:03:58.650 And then he hits on a woman in the park 0:03:58.690 --> 0:04:03.700 in front of the kids. Hi, I'm Peyton. So good. 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.140 Two more quick football things before we get serious about 0:04:06.180 --> 0:04:06.880 this sort of thing. 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:10.720 A quick note, and this will factor into our McLemore, 0:04:10.980 --> 0:04:14.360 Ed Sheeran, Palestinian discussion at the bottom of the hour. 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.200 And I just re-came across this. Kevin Williamson was writing 0:04:17.230 --> 0:04:20.430 about something else. But Cicero said this, and my Latin 0:04:20.450 --> 0:04:23.490 pronunciation is non-existent, and I never took it. But esse 0:04:23.550 --> 0:04:29.919 quam videre, to be rather than to seem. We have 0:04:30.060 --> 0:04:32.640 such a online look at me, look at me, look 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.479 at me society. Everybody's crafted their lives around. 0:04:35.339 --> 0:04:39.560 What they seem to be. And nobody bothers being whatever. 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:43.039 It doesn't matter. Oh, God. That whole tiresome. 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.400 Somebody makes a joke about something. You think it's funny. Oh, 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.810 so you think violence against women is funny. You think 0:04:49.850 --> 0:04:50.910 hitting a woman is funny. 0:04:51.570 --> 0:04:54.230 Oh, my God. That's such an easy thing to do. 0:04:54.250 --> 0:04:54.330 Yeah. 0:04:55.529 --> 0:04:59.090 Oh, that's so weak. Yeah. Couple of things. 0:04:59.130 --> 0:05:02.190 Speaking of the Mannings, I never watched the Manning cast. 0:05:02.210 --> 0:05:03.770 I don't know if you all know this exists, but 0:05:04.170 --> 0:05:08.039 Peyton and his brother Eli both won two Super Bowls. 0:05:08.630 --> 0:05:10.640 They sit there in their living rooms and watch the 0:05:10.660 --> 0:05:12.600 game and comment on it. And you can you can 0:05:12.620 --> 0:05:15.100 watch it. Well, anyway, so I was watching a little 0:05:15.140 --> 0:05:18.420 bit of that yesterday. Actually, it was a tweet that said, 0:05:19.430 --> 0:05:22.270 if you think you understand what's going on in the game, 0:05:22.310 --> 0:05:25.570 listen to this. And it was it was an interception. 0:05:26.430 --> 0:05:28.990 That Bo Nix threw against the Chiefs on Monday Night 0:05:29.029 --> 0:05:34.560 Football and Peyton and Eli explaining what happened there. It 0:05:35.100 --> 0:05:39.560 almost makes me embarrassed to ever comment on anything that 0:05:39.620 --> 0:05:40.380 ever happens. 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.480 Yeah, I love the Manning cast. I watch it more 0:05:43.540 --> 0:05:45.800 than I watch Monday Night Football, which is what they're 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:50.760 commenting on. And it's absolutely showed me how little I 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.900 know about the NFL, which is an incredibly complex game. 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.740 Especially for the quarterback. And so if you're yelling, what'd 0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:01.110 you do that for? Actually, there's a pretty funny clip 0:06:01.140 --> 0:06:03.870 of Bo Nix in the post-game conference. He had to 0:06:03.890 --> 0:06:05.970 be feeling pretty bad because they had a really good 0:06:05.990 --> 0:06:07.669 team and they got embarrassed on Monday Night Football. 0:06:07.690 --> 0:06:11.830 But explain the interception. I dropped back and I threw 0:06:11.870 --> 0:06:16.200 it to the other team. Oh, I love him. 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.490 Yeah, I'm a fan. He was not in a mood 0:06:18.550 --> 0:06:20.730 for that sort of thing. This is not sports, but 0:06:20.750 --> 0:06:22.910 this is funny. So on Monday Night Football, of course, 0:06:22.930 --> 0:06:24.870 Taylor Swift's up there in the suite doing her thing 0:06:25.110 --> 0:06:27.070 with some other celebrities, I guess, because it was Monday 0:06:27.110 --> 0:06:30.099 Night Football. Tom Cruise is sitting there next to Taylor Swift. 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:34.120 and having long conversations with her about something. But anyway, 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.920 the meme going around on Twitter was a picture of 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.630 Tom Cruise just talking endlessly and Taylor Swift nodding her 0:06:40.650 --> 0:06:42.089 head kind of with that. Uh-huh. 0:06:42.490 --> 0:06:42.850 Uh-huh. 0:06:42.990 --> 0:06:47.700 You know, I, you know, okay, sure. Uh, And Tom Cruise, 0:06:47.740 --> 0:06:51.060 according to this meme, was saying Xenu was an alien 0:06:51.100 --> 0:06:54.420 dictator from 75 million years ago who transported billions of 0:06:54.460 --> 0:06:57.280 beings to Earth, placed them around volcanoes and killed them 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.450 with hydrogen bombs. Anyway, I think you and Travis would 0:07:00.470 --> 0:07:01.230 be great members. 0:07:01.250 --> 0:07:09.650 Scientology pitch. Really funny. That is really funny. Tried to 0:07:09.710 --> 0:07:14.490 recruit Taylor and Travis to Scientology, which he may have done. Yeah, yeah. 0:07:14.570 --> 0:07:16.770 He's one of the biggest stars on the planet, but 0:07:16.850 --> 0:07:20.710 I've bored attractive women before, and I could see the 0:07:20.730 --> 0:07:22.850 look on her face was, you know, everybody in the 0:07:22.930 --> 0:07:25.210 world wants to talk to me, and you're talking to 0:07:25.250 --> 0:07:27.010 me too much, and it's getting boring. 0:07:27.310 --> 0:07:29.600 And I kind of want to watch my husband play. Yeah, 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.080 so shut up, would you? And you're shorter than you 0:07:32.100 --> 0:07:34.360 look on screen. Everybody says that, I know, but you are. 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:36.820 I'm significantly taller than you, which is interesting. 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.990 Speaking of attractive women, and the next person to send a, 0:07:40.060 --> 0:07:42.480 I don't think she's hot at all, email, oh my God, 0:07:42.540 --> 0:07:42.930 grow up. 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:48.760 Sidney Sweeney derangement syndrome has become a thing. Is your 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.320 goal to just make me tired today? Yes, yes. This 0:07:51.340 --> 0:07:54.020 is making me tired.

That I just can't shake the fact 0:08:13.570 --> 0:08:15.290 that I have to do this. 0:08:16.970 --> 0:08:20.190 If I were not in your position of having two 0:08:20.290 --> 0:08:24.050 children to raise, I would seriously consider hurling myself off. 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:27.360 A cliff. 0:08:27.420 --> 0:08:30.060 I mean, the cost of it alone, let alone trying 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:33.470 to make decisions and Each one of them being very expensive. 0:08:34.770 --> 0:08:35.170 Oh, boy. 0:08:35.990 --> 0:08:38.410 Speaking of expensive, so is your car. And your car 0:08:38.450 --> 0:08:41.450 can be a spy. True story. True story. 0:08:41.690 --> 0:08:44.819 Guy's car insurance jumped over 20%. Had no accidents, no tickets. 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.340 So he started digging into it to find out who 0:08:47.380 --> 0:08:49.820 reported him. It was his own damn car. Every hard break, 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.000 every fast merge, every late night taco run. His automaker 0:08:53.059 --> 0:08:55.320 logged it all, sold it to a data broker, and 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.400 the broker sold it to his insurance company. 0:08:57.690 --> 0:09:00.610 He requested his file. It was hundreds of pages. 0:09:01.309 --> 0:09:05.970 So General Motors just agreed to pay $ 12. 75 million to 0:09:05.990 --> 0:09:08.670 the state of California over this exact sort of thing. 0:09:08.710 --> 0:09:11.890 The lesson is data brokers aren't only selling your address anymore. 0:09:12.290 --> 0:09:14.690 They're selling your habits to anyone who wants to buy them. 0:09:15.350 --> 0:09:16.610 That's why we use Incogni. 0:09:16.670 --> 0:09:18.890 It's the online service that forces data brokers and people 0:09:18.929 --> 0:09:22.040 search sites to delete your information.

The 0:09:48.850 --> 0:09:51.850 Democrats just pulled out a stunt in the House signing 0:09:51.850 --> 0:09:55.680 on to some... Proposed legislation around AI that I find 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:59.600 just slated stunts hilariously ineffective, but we'll get a lot 0:09:59.620 --> 0:10:00.360 of attention. 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:04.650 Is now an apropos time to listen to the allegedly 0:10:04.970 --> 0:10:09.880 raunchy pumpkin. Or should we do that after the pause? 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:15.060 Set up the pumpkin thing again? Where's the pumpkin? Pumpkins 0:10:15.100 --> 0:10:16.060 don't talk. 0:10:16.140 --> 0:10:16.860 Not generally. 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.430 This is a TikTok video, and basically the deal is 0:10:19.550 --> 0:10:23.229 it's a mother, and this is just a recording of 0:10:23.270 --> 0:10:25.150 the doll. But the whole point is this is an 0:10:25.250 --> 0:10:27.170 upset parent saying, how could this toy come out with 0:10:27.190 --> 0:10:27.610 this song? 0:10:27.630 --> 0:10:32.140 Latest in a long line of alleged obscenities or sexual 0:10:32.179 --> 0:10:33.500 commands by various toys. 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:34.540 Yeah, okay. 0:10:34.780 --> 0:10:35.020 All right. 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:39.510 Very good. Let's hear the Jabberin' Jack children's pumpkin toy. 0:10:39.970 --> 0:10:41.209 Who wants to be wicked. 0:10:40.970 --> 0:10:41.730 For one night? 0:10:41.750 --> 0:10:45.110 I have a kiss for you, and it tastes like 0:10:45.210 --> 0:10:46.450 pumpkin pie. 0:10:46.890 --> 0:10:54.820 We'll be wicked for one night, morbid and nefarious. 0:10:55.280 --> 0:11:00.990 And when When the sun goes down to morning, it 0:11:01.150 --> 0:11:03.830 will just be. 0:11:05.870 --> 0:11:06.050 Us. 0:11:06.270 --> 0:11:07.210 How would you like. 0:11:07.030 --> 0:11:08.390 To scream all night? 0:11:08.470 --> 0:11:08.870 What? 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:12.640 I'll fill you full of fright. 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:14.580 What? 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.020 Guide you in the darkest deeds. 0:11:17.820 --> 0:11:18.740 What the hell? 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.990 And spoil you with my roasted pumpkin seeds. 0:11:23.650 --> 0:11:28.770 That sounds good. So that's pretty funny if it's for adults. 0:11:30.210 --> 0:11:33.250 Pretty funny. But what's the intended market for it? Is 0:11:33.290 --> 0:11:35.860 it actually a children's toy? Well, they did change it. 0:11:35.910 --> 0:11:37.470 I guess that was an earlier version. 0:11:37.530 --> 0:11:39.870 It has been changed since. Well, for adults, it's perfectly 0:11:39.910 --> 0:11:40.690 fine and kind of funny. 0:11:40.910 --> 0:11:44.080 And I can see that giving to a friend or. 0:11:44.429 --> 0:11:47.640 Yeah, this could easily be a piece of Halloween decoration 0:11:48.020 --> 0:11:51.179 in an adult's house like this isn't just marketed for kids. 0:11:51.300 --> 0:11:54.230 But it's not for kids. I'm going to fill you 0:11:54.270 --> 0:11:58.750 with my pumpkin pie or whatever. The seeds. 0:11:59.250 --> 0:12:04.429 I think the mom bought this for her kids, but 0:12:04.450 --> 0:12:06.100 it isn't being marketed as such. 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:07.080 Right. Okay. 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:10.680 So any outrage is feigned. But just before you buy 0:12:10.740 --> 0:12:14.900 the Jabber and Jack pumpkin, don't do. 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:16.180 It for your kids. We're going to wake up. It's 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:20.230 going to slow jam you right into bed. We're going 0:12:20.250 --> 0:12:22.550 to wake up alone. Hide your kids, hide your wife. Yeah, 0:12:22.570 --> 0:12:27.230 no kidding. That is one damn sexy pumpkin, though. Oh, 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.940 it is. Kind of turned me on. Yeah, yeah. 0:12:30.540 --> 0:12:34.300 Speaking of sexy pumpkins, Sidney Sweeney derangement syndrome coming up 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:35.120 in a moment or two. 0:12:35.340 --> 0:12:38.560 Got my stem's attention. Tell you that. Oh, no, no. 0:12:38.660 --> 0:12:40.460 Too much. You never know when to stop. I don't. 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:41.079 Oh, my. 0:12:41.100 --> 0:12:42.180 Okay, all that on the way. Stay here. 0:12:43.750 --> 0:12:53.030 Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:12:59.990 --> 0:13:03.390 I think Caitlin Flanagan is right. There's such a thing 0:13:03.590 --> 0:13:08.750 as Sidney Sweeney derangement syndrome. If you don't know who 0:13:08.809 --> 0:13:10.870 she is, I mean, well, good. 0:13:10.980 --> 0:13:17.000 Congratulations. Beautiful blonde woman, impossibly built. One of a million. 0:13:17.020 --> 0:13:19.420 There are a dime a dozen, though. How did she 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.160 elevate herself to the I'm the one? 0:13:23.570 --> 0:13:23.910 I don't know. 0:13:23.970 --> 0:13:24.910 She's extra sexy. 0:13:24.950 --> 0:13:25.250 I don't know. 0:13:25.290 --> 0:13:26.600 Nobody can reason this stuff out. 0:13:27.090 --> 0:13:28.810 Although, I tell you what, I'm in love with Caitlin 0:13:28.830 --> 0:13:32.910 Flanagan's intellect, and it occurs to me I'm half a polygamist. Now, 0:13:33.010 --> 0:13:35.290 I love my wife, and I'm faithful to her, but 0:13:35.630 --> 0:13:40.280 I'm in love with Caitlin Flanagan, Kim Strassel, Peggy Noonan, 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.699 and I'm missing one, which is going to be really 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:47.720 embarrassing when I see her again. Anyway, we have so 0:13:47.740 --> 0:13:50.219 many great women thinkers that are breaking through, and I 0:13:50.220 --> 0:13:50.760 appreciate that. 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:51.140 I know. 0:13:51.860 --> 0:13:52.660 It's funny you bring that up. 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.059 I saw some woman on some YouTube channel the other 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.350 day who was some sort of AI expert talking about 0:13:57.370 --> 0:14:01.150 all this stuff recently, and that was so attractive to me, 0:14:01.630 --> 0:14:04.010 the fact she was attractive and an AI genius. 0:14:04.630 --> 0:14:07.470 Megan McArdle, another home run hitter. Love her. So much 0:14:07.550 --> 0:14:11.240 more than Cindy Sweeney. doing her thing. And I don't 0:14:11.260 --> 0:14:12.660 know what, how smart she is or whatever. 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:16.020 But it's not about her at all. 0:14:16.220 --> 0:14:18.520 It's about the derangement syndrome. I love this. 0:14:18.540 --> 0:14:22.180 Caitlin Flanagan writes yesterday morning in time square. I saw 0:14:22.210 --> 0:14:24.610 a suited man come close to death because his eyes 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:30.150 were transfixed, transfixed on Sydney Sweeney's bare ass. And she, 0:14:30.650 --> 0:14:32.690 and she tells a story, but that's just actually the 0:14:32.810 --> 0:14:40.530 introduction to the, the derangement syndrome story. And, uh, it's 0:14:40.610 --> 0:14:44.330 about this ad for one of your sports betting dealios. 0:14:44.870 --> 0:14:48.250 And in it, and she writes, she watched it and 0:14:48.290 --> 0:14:52.210 thought maybe she watched the wrong one because a lot 0:14:52.230 --> 0:14:55.590 of women's sports stars are going crazy over this ad. 0:14:56.930 --> 0:15:00.550 She is a naked or near naked with her nether 0:15:00.630 --> 0:15:04.470 regions in, uh, what, uh, Caitlin Flanagan says, uh, in 0:15:04.490 --> 0:15:06.750 a device worthy of Benny Hill at the height of 0:15:06.810 --> 0:15:07.470 his powers. 0:15:08.110 --> 0:15:09.430 Now I'm really in love. 0:15:09.450 --> 0:15:13.920 Um, with sports equipment covering her nether regions as she 0:15:14.060 --> 0:15:17.320 feigns playing these games, all encouraging young men to bet 0:15:17.380 --> 0:15:17.880 on sports. 0:15:18.100 --> 0:15:21.380 I did see one picture that I thought, where are 0:15:21.420 --> 0:15:26.510 they showing this? That's just her boobs. I was shocked 0:15:26.530 --> 0:15:27.670 at how much it was. 0:15:28.270 --> 0:15:32.330 Yeah, none of the critical boobble parts are shown, but, 0:15:32.370 --> 0:15:37.410 I mean, it's a lot of skin. And so, and then, 0:15:37.770 --> 0:15:39.330 you know, Olympic swimmer Ariane Pagani. 0:15:39.740 --> 0:15:40.940 Titmuss, good Lord. 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:41.380 What? 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.000 I know. It's not my fault. I didn't name her. 0:15:48.490 --> 0:15:54.710 Maybe I should pre-read the rest of this. You know, 0:15:54.730 --> 0:15:55.110 it's funny. 0:15:55.150 --> 0:15:56.850 I read it, but until I said it out loud, 0:15:56.890 --> 0:15:59.570 it hadn't occurred to me. Anyway, the lovely and beautifully 0:15:59.630 --> 0:16:02.670 named Arianne Titmuss said the ad was a, quote, kick 0:16:02.710 --> 0:16:05.190 in the face to every woman who has dedicated her 0:16:05.230 --> 0:16:06.580 life to perfecting her craft. 0:16:07.290 --> 0:16:09.600 Meanwhile, Jim Scrotum disagrees. 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.820 The Female Athlete Project, which describes itself as a community 0:16:14.860 --> 0:16:18.120 of advocates, allies, and athletes, posted on Instagram that there 0:16:18.140 --> 0:16:20.450 are so many versions of women in sport, and the 0:16:20.490 --> 0:16:23.170 new ad with Sidney Sweeney does nothing to genuinely represent 0:16:23.190 --> 0:16:23.810 or support them. 0:16:24.030 --> 0:16:26.330 The Athletic pretended to be outraged. The New York Times 0:16:26.390 --> 0:16:27.490 pretended to be outraged. 0:16:27.810 --> 0:16:32.150 It's a huge step backward in women's sports, blah, blah, blah. 0:16:32.510 --> 0:16:37.350 So anyway, Caitlin Flanagan writes, According to the central tenet 0:16:37.410 --> 0:16:41.090 of 17th wave feminism, a woman has every right to 0:16:41.150 --> 0:16:43.710 dress or undress as she wants. And if she walks 0:16:43.750 --> 0:16:45.770 through the Mall of America in a pair of pasties 0:16:45.820 --> 0:16:48.720 and a G-string, anyone leering at her is the one 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.620 with the problem, not her. 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.480 So what's with all the slut shaming? Feminism is a shapeshifter. 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:58.290 It's not logic and reason that determines its positions. It's 0:16:58.330 --> 0:17:00.370 how well it serves the current cause. 0:17:00.470 --> 0:17:04.020 Only a woman can say that, but that is clearly true. Oh, yeah. 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:08.760 It's an opportunity to have a grievance. And it's funny. 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:10.980 I was so lucky, so, so, so lucky. 0:17:11.020 --> 0:17:13.260 I grew up in a very happy family that seemed 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:18.160 pretty functional. And I've come across a lot of people 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:19.150 in the world who did not. 0:17:19.210 --> 0:17:20.850 God bless them. Perhaps it's y'all. 0:17:22.210 --> 0:17:27.070 In which whoever had the grievance was the most powerful 0:17:27.130 --> 0:17:29.090 person in the household that day. 0:17:29.410 --> 0:17:33.120 And that was the culture. And a lot of political 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.760 activism is that these days. 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:38.920 I hate that we're talking about this. It's a good 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:43.330 topic in general. But I hate for whatever company Sidney 0:17:43.350 --> 0:17:48.830 Sweeney is representing to get attention by this ridiculous caveman-like gambit. 0:17:49.430 --> 0:17:49.970 I'm hot. 0:17:50.350 --> 0:17:53.150 Here's the product. I don't like that. I don't like 0:17:53.190 --> 0:17:55.490 being let around like that. So I hate the fact 0:17:55.530 --> 0:17:58.230 that it's getting all the attention because of it. 0:17:58.800 --> 0:17:59.260 Please. 0:17:59.660 --> 0:18:02.260 Final note from Caitlyn. I don't think there's a single 0:18:02.340 --> 0:18:05.440 person who saw Sweeney obscure her large breasts and thought 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:10.700 she must play professional football. The ideas behind the ad, 0:18:10.740 --> 0:18:14.369 like the ideas behind all good ads, were simple. Sports, betting, 0:18:14.810 --> 0:18:15.550 sexy girl. 0:18:16.530 --> 0:18:18.590 Yeah, shocking. You ever been to a sports bar? 0:18:18.650 --> 0:18:23.510 Yeah, yeah, unbelievable. So Macklemore and company quit Ned Sheeran's tour. 0:18:23.530 --> 0:18:26.700 They're absolutely wrong on the Palestinian thing. 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.560 On the facts. Stay with us. It's not a genocide? 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:33.399 Is that what you're saying? Among other things, yeah. 0:18:44.350 --> 0:18:46.090 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:55.030 Sheeran's most recent tour grossed nearly $ 900 million. In addressing 0:18:55.070 --> 0:19:04.750 the fallout today, he posted, In a statement, McElmore said 0:19:04.790 --> 0:19:08.010 that Sheeran told him New England's Patriot owner Robert Kraft 0:19:08.050 --> 0:19:11.270 had rallied other stadium owners and said if McElmore stays 0:19:11.330 --> 0:19:13.540 on the tour, then they wouldn't be allowed to play 0:19:13.580 --> 0:19:16.199 in their venues. CBS News reached out to Kraft for 0:19:16.220 --> 0:19:19.340 a response to that allegation and the promoter, Messina Tori Group, 0:19:19.780 --> 0:19:21.220 but did not hear back before airtime. 0:19:22.380 --> 0:19:24.919 Now, I don't even care who's the opening act in 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:27.860 bands I love. And Ed Sheeran's a great songwriter. This 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:29.820 is not about which band is playing on his tour. 0:19:30.700 --> 0:19:37.659 It's about Macklemore, the rapper singer guy, making harsh screeds 0:19:38.180 --> 0:19:41.200 in favor of the quote unquote Palestinians and against Israel 0:19:41.530 --> 0:19:43.490 from the stage on Ed Sheeran's tour. 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:46.720 Ed is not a political guy, at least not on stage. 0:19:47.109 --> 0:19:48.389 And not just, I don't know if we have in 0:19:48.410 --> 0:19:51.540 the audio, Macklemore. what he's saying on stage, but not just, 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:56.020 you know, oh, by the way, pro-Palestine, and people cheer, 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:57.119 and then you go back into your song. 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:02.120 Long screeds about it. And demanding the agreement of the audience. 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:03.220 I'd walk out on that. 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:03.880 Yeah. 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:04.960 I'd walk out on that. 0:20:05.510 --> 0:20:09.070 So promoters and venue owners said, we're not having that. 0:20:09.250 --> 0:20:11.330 You can't have Macklemore if you're going to play our hall. 0:20:12.070 --> 0:20:15.450 And so the business people said, Macklemore, you've got to go. 0:20:15.490 --> 0:20:16.550 Why do you. 0:20:16.270 --> 0:20:19.910 Think that happened, that the owners of these stadiums drew 0:20:19.930 --> 0:20:22.540 a line there? Because, I mean, I saw Bruce Springsteen. 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:26.060 I've seen lots of bands say lots of political stuff. 0:20:26.420 --> 0:20:27.700 Where did this cross the line? 0:20:28.100 --> 0:20:30.240 Great question. I don't know exactly. 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:33.540
