Um. And it 92 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: kind of was like a Soviet stork derby. Let's start 93 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: with a little bit of backstory. So back in nine 94 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union was trying to do more to support 95 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: large families and pregnant women. Great goal, and so it 96 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: created some honorary titles four Mothers, which I guess the 97 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: first thing women are looking for when they're asking for support. 98 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: They're like, give me an honorary title. So my number 99 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: one concern I'll worry about the food and the water 100 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: and the shelter, but could I please have a title? Okay? 101 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: Try to respect me. I'd like a metal to pin 102 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: to my lapel. Alright, so the titles were listen, if 103 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: you had five to nine children, you could receive the 104 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: Maternity Medal. But there was also the Order of Maternal Glory, what, 105 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: which is pretty dope, actually so hard, And it was 106 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: organized into three classes, all right, so you could get 107 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: the Order of Maternal Glory. Third class meant you were 108 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: a woman with seven kids. Second class was when you 109 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: had eight kids, and then third class was for nine kids. 110 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: But the Mother of All Awards, Nina Niner was for 111 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: women who had ten or more children, and it was 112 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: called the Mother Heroine Award because the mother would need 113 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: some heroin after having ten kids just to get through 114 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: the day. For the milk of the poppy. Wow, that 115 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: is very intense. I mean, well, I grew up one 116 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: of four as a kid, and that that was a lot. 117 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: My mom deserved a medal for that. Well, all six 118 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: of us deserved a medal quite honestly, for putting up 119 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: with each other. We had one bathroom, damn one bathroom. 120 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: I do love the name, like Order of Maternal Glory, 121 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: It's so yes, totally, I can I can see the 122 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: propaganda poster. Now it's like a woman with just the 123 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: baby in the front, baby in the back, surround, surrounded 124 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: by children, and yet looking off to the distance the 125 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: brave future. There's some like fighter jets flying pastor is 126 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: dropping like storks. Yeah, but who is the metal for? 127 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: I mean, like, you know, I guess you point to 128 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: your kids and you see these these metal of glory 129 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: for pushing you little ships out. You got ten kids, 130 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: you're not getting out much to go show it off. 131 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: Very true. I guess they're like, listen, we're a society 132 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: who wants to share the labor, but you can never 133 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: share this labor. So you have to give her something. 134 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: I gotta give her something of her own. I don't know. Now. 135 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: Besides the honors themselves, the women were also entitled to 136 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: retirement pensions and a supply of food and other goods 137 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: to support their families. The state would even pay their 138 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: utility bills. Okay, so it's not just a stamp and 139 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: right certificate, which I kind of appreciate in a way 140 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: because it's kind of I mean, you know, we could 141 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: talk all day about how our country are. Our country 142 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: specifically is pretty hateful to two women with children. We 143 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: don't provide a lot of good childcare options. We don't 144 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: like maternity leave, we don't like paternity leave. We you know, 145 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: we really we want you to have a family, but 146 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: we don't want you to have a family get in 147 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: the way of your productivity and stuff. So it's like 148 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: kind of a hostile place to raise a family in 149 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: a lot of ways. They're like, you need to have 150 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: more babies, And then a woman comes up with like 151 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: seven babies. She's like, I had more babies, just like 152 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: you asked, And they're like, huh, who are you? But 153 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: please don't bother me irresponsible? Yeah, go and go off 154 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: and get your you get those children away from me. 155 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: What I need to be educated now that's not my job. 156 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: But yeah, so I was just kind of like, well, 157 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: this is sort of cool that they're you know, recognizing 158 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: motherhood is something that is a service to humanity in 159 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: a way. It is a very hard thing to put 160 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: your body through multiple times. I don't know that I 161 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: agree that you should after only ten children. His mother's 162 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: out there with four kids who are like, boy, I 163 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: could I could use a little while I feel tired 164 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: and broke. Now, nearly five hundred thousand women received the 165 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: Mother Heroin Award between nineteen four and the dissolution of 166 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union in d You do the math, how 167 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: many people? I will hang on that was, well, it's 168 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: just times ten, right, so five? Yeah, at least five 169 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: million people were born for this, for this medal, just 170 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: for that pretty good, a little boost. That's a boost 171 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: in your in your labor force. I suppose, and you 172 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: suppose each one of them had Mother Heroin ten children. 173 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: That's that's the that's too far from me. That's an exponent. Now, 174 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: there were stipulations for this award. It was given on 175 00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: the first birthday of the last child, but all previous 176 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: nine kids still had to be alive. Now, if the 177 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: kids died in either military service or like heroic circumstances, 178 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: or in a terrorist attack or any occupational diseases or injuries, 179 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: all those kids still counted. But if they just you know, 180 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, um, you know, rode their segway off 181 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: a cliff, that's sorry, it doesn't count, right, or or 182 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: kind of like our Stork Derby episode. We were talking 183 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: about how it was bad to set that prank on 184 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: people because you couldn't assume that they would have the 185 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: money they needed to raise a large family and like 186 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: actually take care of them and feed them. And we 187 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: even saw some like pretty bad stories about like rats 188 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: and on babies and stuff. So anyway, Russia was like, 189 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: I don't want you to just have these babies to 190 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: try to get this award and you don't take care 191 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: of them. I want you to actually take care of 192 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: your family and make sure they're alive and well. Now, 193 00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: when the Soviet Union dissolved in the award was abolished, 194 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: tons of mothers out there working on their tenth kid 195 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: are like, are you kidding me? I just missed the window. 196 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: But then in two thousand eight it was reinstated as 197 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: the Order of Parental Glory parental so they made it 198 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: less gendered. I guess. Oh. Now this was awarded to 199 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 1: parents or adoptive parents for raising seven or more Russian 200 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: citizens for, as the statute says, quote leading a healthy 201 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: family life, being socially responsible, providing an adequate level of healthcare, education, physical, 202 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:39,239 Speaker 1: spiritual and mortal development of the children, full and harmonious 203 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: development of their personality. Accepting on examples, to strengthen the 204 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: institute of the family and the child brearing in that 205 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: exact accent. They said it probably right, we're still hunting 206 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: for moosse and squirrel. I love full and harmonious development 207 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 1: of their personality. And I mean that, you know, not 208 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: not a bad No. I love it, I really do. 209 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: I'm like it's it really is like saying all the thing. 210 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: Where's like, if we're going to ask people to have 211 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: family members, if you want you to have family, we 212 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: need to recognize that service to the community, I mean 213 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: to society or whatever, And yeah, you should set an 214 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: example for others to be like, you should also be 215 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: into families. Like I don't know if it makes sense 216 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: to me in a weird way, don't just pop out 217 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: a bunch of babies and be like, here they are. 218 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: I have the units of babies that you're requested. Yeah, like, no, 219 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: I'm raising children to be full and individual people. And 220 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: the order of parental glory still exists. But this mother 221 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 1: heroin title was all but forgotten until August two, just 222 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, exactly very current events, when 223 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: President Vladimir Putin decided to reinstate this title, and it 224 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: had all the same stipulations in place about making sure 225 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: they're alive and wealthfare and educated and everything. But he 226 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: added a cash prize of one million rubles, which, let 227 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: me see, in according to the currency calculators here, earth 228 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: about sixteen thousand, six hundred and forty five dollars in 229 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: US currency. That sounds less like less of a sixteen 230 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: thousand not going to raise ten kids for you. It's 231 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: going to get like four kids through third grade. Maybe 232 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: maybe maybe it'll go buy their backpacks. Right, I will 233 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: pay for one students college textbooks thousand dollars. The Soviet 234 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: government is so generous that sixteen thousand dollars more than 235 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: we're getting. Very true. I mean, you know what, you 236 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: know what, that's a good boy. So listen, why is 237 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: Putin reinstating the Soviet era award right now? And there's 238 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: modern times? M hmmm, Well, apparently he's worried about the 239 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: Russian population common common complaint. I guess we're also worried 240 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: about our population here. Yeah, there's a lot of people 241 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: talking about it worldwide. I guess it's it's almost like 242 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: there's something going on where people don't want to have babies. Now. 243 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: I can't imagine why. So currently, let's do the numbers here. 244 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: Currently there are a hundred and forty five point one 245 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: million people living in Russia and that sounds like a lot, 246 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: but it's a huge country. And think about America. We 247 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: have at least three three million in our country. That's 248 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: not as many as I would have thought. I guess 249 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: it's like if you look at a population density map 250 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: of Russia, they're so so much of it is just empty, right, 251 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: completely blank. Which of course there's that there's like tundra 252 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: and desert, you know what I mean, Like they have 253 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: places where you would not just like we do. But 254 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: still like that, that is smaller than I would have thought. 255 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: And CNBC reports that the working age population has been 256 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: declining since UM. They estimate that the overall population would 257 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: contract by eight point four percent from its level by 258 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: So the real problem is that the working age is 259 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: not great. Everyone's getting older, there's not enough babies to replace, 260 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: so are are fresh young? Strong backs are few and 261 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: far between. I guess he's like no one wants to 262 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: be young enough to work anymore. And of course the 263 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: war with Ukraine is only exacerbating this problem with heavy casualties. UM. 264 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: The Moscow Times reported that the population fell by a 265 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: record eighties six thousand people a month from January through May, 266 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: and the previous record was fifty seven thousand a month 267 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: and two thousand and two, So that's pretty big deal, 268 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: that is, And I mean that's the Moscow Times reporting it. 269 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: I think the same I've heard. I don't obviously, I 270 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: don't know, and I haven't done any heavy research into 271 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: it myself, but we do see, like in terms of 272 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: like Ukraine is saying a lot more Russians are dying 273 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: than Russia is saying, right, So I don't, right, and 274 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: both sides need their propaganda, so it's hard to it's 275 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: hard to know who's who's conflating and who's deflating the 276 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: numbers for whichever reason. But those are pretty disturbing numbers 277 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: whichever way you look at it. But it's actually it's 278 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: not just the war that's the problem. The state the 279 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: Russian State Statistics Agency have show has showed a decline 280 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: in the number of deaths year over years, so fewer 281 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: people are dying, but Russian women simply are not having 282 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: enough babies and a lot of people are migrating out 283 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: of the country altogether, like give me a out of Russia. 284 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: So I guess he's like, let me put this honor 285 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: back and really encourage people to have large families, and 286 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: then we'll also support them having those large families with 287 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: you know this, this food supply and some money and 288 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: stuff like that. Books a few dollars and I mean, 289 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: maybe that'll work. Maybe people will be really into that, 290 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: I guess, but I don't know. In my opinion, Putin 291 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: and every other country should probably take a good hard 292 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 1: look at why people are not having children, why they 293 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 1: don't want to have children, and Putin maybe want to 294 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 1: see why people want to leave Russia area. They're just like, 295 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: get me out of here. There's a reason for that, 296 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: And it's not. It's not so I can have a 297 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: baby somewhere else, like I mean, or it is maybe 298 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: they're like, I ain't raised a kid here. I don't know. 299 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: We do see that here. I know a lot of 300 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,959 Speaker 1: people who have been looking at or or actively moving 301 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: to other countries. I just saw the number of Americans 302 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: moving to Portugal like tripled this year, um, things like that. 303 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think you're right. I think it's a 304 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: question of, like, well, why though maybe we solve nobody 305 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: ever wants to solve the root of problems. They really don't. 306 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 1: They just want to treat the symptom, yeah, instead of 307 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 1: curing the illness. Yeah, literally and figuratively. That is like 308 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: our whole m o as a species. It's just crazy 309 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 1: to be I know what is wrong with us. I mean, 310 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: it is hard work to dig down to a root 311 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: and everything, but it is so weird to be like, 312 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: let me dangle this carrot in front of your face 313 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: as ladies, don't you want to have ten berths um 314 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: for this metal, this five pointed star.

I don't want kids, 332 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: but I hate when people call them like crotch goblins 333 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: and stuff. It's so annoying, really gross. As as a 334 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: childless couple, I think we get real frustrated when other 335 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: childless couples like look down on kids or people who 336 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: have kids and look at you kidding me, like no, 337 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: we're the we're the suckers here, like you know, and 338 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: I recognize that. Um, but you know, people all have 339 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: their own reasons for not wanting kids. We've got our own, 340 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: you know. Some people can't. Some people there's a lot 341 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: of reasons. There's a lot. We could talk about that 342 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: for a whole other podcasts. But but yeah, I've just 343 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: seen thousand dollars is not going to change a lot 344 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: of their minds, you know. And even here, you know, 345 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: here you're like, oh, I have ten kids and will 346 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: eventually give you a million dollars. I feel like a 347 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: lot of people would not not go for it because 348 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: a million dollars to have pay for ten berths in 349 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: an American hospital either. So just throwing that out there, 350 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: And what concerns me, and this is a little elitist 351 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: of myself recognizing that in advance here, is that the 352 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: people who do go for it, the people who hear 353 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: the word a million dollars and they're like, yeah, I'm in, 354 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: let's do it, are not necessarily people who should be 355 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: having kids. Because I only say that because I'm like, 356 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: you're incentive for having kids shouldn't be the cash you 357 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: get for it, Like, if you don't want those kids 358 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: to begin with, are those kids going to have a 359 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: good life? Yeah? Isn't that a lot like being a 360 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: foster parent or something just for the check and you 361 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 1: treat the kids like ship because you don't really want 362 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: the kid. I'm not going to assume that's the most 363 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: a majority of foster parents. No, not at all. And 364 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: we know there are cases like that, and it's like, Wow, 365 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: what an ass If you're only doing it for the money, 366 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: how are you raising these great citizens a full and 367 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: harmonious development of their personality. Going back to what you said, 368 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: a lot of countries the world all over have got 369 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: to work harder at making it a better place to 370 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: have kids, in an easier place to have and raised children. Um, 371 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 1: why that is not the focus Beyond that's some like 372 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: climate change messaging could be all about having more kids 373 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: and a lot of jobs and healthcare costs, education, all 374 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: that could be an argument for we're trying to help 375 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: help people have families and that's what everybody wants, right. Well, 376 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: I know that's what's going on in Russia with the 377 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: mother heroine, mother heroine, mother heroine. I am a mother 378 00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: heroine hero wine. Well, I think that we'll take a 379 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: quick commercial break and we'll come back with the next story. Yeah, 380 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: welcome back to the show, everybody. So this month also 381 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: became a huge and historic moment for LGBTQ people in Singapore. Cool. Yeah, 382 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: But first we got to learn a little about the 383 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 1: history of the lgbt Q experience in Singapore. So we're 384 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: gonna take a quick fleeing with history. No one asked you. 385 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: In eighteen thirty three, in India, under British control of 386 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: the country, the colonial government formed the Indian Law Commission 387 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: under Chairman Lord Thomas McCauley. Now, of course, none of 388 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: these laws that the British government wrote reflected traditional Indian 389 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: laws or customs, you know. They didn't bring any local 390 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: consultants on they wrote this bill because under Buddhist and 391 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: Hindu law throughout most of Asia, consensual homosexual intercourse was 392 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: never a legal offense. But in this code the British 393 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: wrote section three seven seven, which criminalized quote carnal intercourse 394 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: against the order of nature. A gives the order of nature? 395 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: And you might think that that sounds super ambiguous. How 396 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: could you define what carnal intercourse is or what goes 397 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: against the order of nature? And a lot of gay 398 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: animals in nature, sure, yeah, and some that just switched 399 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: genders back and forth at will. Well, and they don't 400 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: even mention gay in this. They just say carnal intercourse, 401 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: which is a lot of intercourse with some great intercourse 402 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: has been cardinal, you know, and favorite intercourse and the 403 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: order of nature, like you said, I mean, it could 404 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: be defined as any number of things, because if you 405 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: want to do something, isn't that inherently natural? Well, anyway, 406 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: you might think this is super ambiguous, and it was. 407 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 1: They had no idea how to interpret it. Nobody knew 408 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: what had to penetrate what, who had to penetrate whom with, what, where, 409 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: when and why in order for it to be considered 410 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: carnal intercourse. Now, this same law was taken from India 411 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: and it was adopted over in Singapore, and of course 412 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: they just had the same problems over there. Yeah, there's 413 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: a bunch of legal hullabaloo in India and Singapore about 414 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:33,719 Speaker 1: the definitions of carnal intercourse against the order of nature. 415 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: And eventually the corpse decided it was actually any sex 416 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: that wasn't potentially procreated, So anal sex and maybe oral 417 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: sex between hetero or homosexual couples was outlawed um, which 418 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of a lot of dudes were like, 419 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: wait what and ladies do excuse me what? Yeah? This 420 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: there was apparently a heated debate in court about it. 421 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: But I like my husband to eat my ass. Well 422 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: it says right here, Lord Thomas McCauley wrote down plain 423 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: black and wines, no eating apps, Lord Thomas McCauley, I 424 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 1: signed all my bills sincerely that dearest people. All right. So, 425 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: by this narrow definition, it was an equally oppressive law 426 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 1: for everyone. So it was like, this wasn't specifically against 427 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: gay people. They were just like, no one could give 428 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: blow jobs, no one can have anal sex, you know, 429 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 1: which that argument is weak because if you say, well, 430 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: this is for everyone, I'm not discriminating against gay people, 431 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 1: and gay people are like, well what else can I do? 432 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: I can't have, you know, traditional heteronormative penetrative sex because 433 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: we don't have the two things between us that you're 434 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: talking about. And also like, I'm sure there were plenty 435 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: of like homophobic people who were like, yeah, yes, limit 436 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: their sex limited. I'm so happy. Wait a minute, Wait 437 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: a minute, wait a minute. Wait, you're saying I cannot 438 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: like that, like too much? Pull back, pull back, no, no, no. 439 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: Pulling back was very sinceanna. It also lumped in bestiality 440 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: into this lump in bestiality in with homosexuality, I know, 441 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: which is gross and kind ophelia too. They are not 442 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: the same thing. They're not the same category, very different categories. 443 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: There was even a case tried in India about a 444 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: guy who sucked a buffalo is nostril. Why didn't that 445 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: make it into our people in Pet's episode? Probably because 446 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to look into it. Well, I gotta say, 447 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: nostril or the story this was. I will say this 448 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: particular case was noted in Wikipedia with no citation, so 449 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: I was like, what the hell is this guy fucking 450 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: a buffalo's nostril? But you know, um, given some of 451 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: the stories we've heard and told, I'm not going to 452 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: go ahead and assume it's untrue. Right, Okay, maybe he 453 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: just never gave an interview for some reason about I 454 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: can't imagine why you didn't want to share that people. 455 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: I tell you, some dudes they see a whole and 456 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: they will just stick us. Dick finds a way. But 457 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,719 Speaker 1: later a court made a change to Singapore's opinions about 458 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: heterosexual oral Second, and it's very sexy, So put the 459 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: kids to bed and let's hear the deductive words of 460 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: the Singaporean Court of Appeals.

Appeal, appeal your honor. I swear this has 496 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: never happened before. I'm appealing my clothes off there it is. Wow. Yeah, okay, well, 497 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: this is your future. You've got to you gotta get 498 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: back into audio books, start reading smuts, starting erotic smut, 499 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: erotic legal cases. I would love to. I'm trying to help. 500 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:46,479 Speaker 1: It's like that topless tutors joke in Van Wilder. Did 501 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: you ever see that? No? I didn't. Wilder, Well, he 502 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: was trying so many hours to live, but I was 503 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: trying to help people graduate. So he made girls tutor 504 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: them with their tops off. Very early two thousand'ssatristic humor. 505 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: But that could be me for law students. I could 506 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: read a law book just like this. And now it's 507 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: time for Jamison first, the State of New Hampshire. I 508 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: don't know if that's the case. Uh I don't know either. 509 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: Who's our saxon? Uh Let? What did I say? Jamison 510 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: versus the State of New Hampshire? Is that a real case? 511 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: And what case would you like me to read in 512 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: a sexy fashion? All right? Getting back to the story here. 513 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, so they're saying that as long as you 514 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: give a blow job and it leads to penetrative sex, 515 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: that's cool. But if you don't, it's still punishable by 516 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: section three seven, right, then you're just being a dirty 517 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: pur But then, okay, it gets worse because in nineteen 518 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: eight they borrowed a term from the labou Share Amendment 519 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: in the UK's own Criminal Law Amendment Act of eighteen 520 00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: eighty five, and the term was gross indecency. Now, this 521 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: specifically criminalized any sexual activity specifically between two men in England, 522 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: and it said, quote any male person who, in public 523 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: or private, commits, or is a party to, the commission of, 524 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: or procures or attempts to procure the commission by any 525 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: male person of any act of gross indecency, shall be 526 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: guilty of a misdemeanor, and being convicted, shall be liable, 527 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: at the discretion of the court, to be imprisoned for 528 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: any term not exceeding two years, with or without hard labor, 529 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: hard labor, the hardness. No no, no, no, I didn't 530 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: say hard labor. I meant a difficult labor. And you 531 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: know it. I love this guy. You can totally see 532 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: him put his wig on the Total Disney cartoon. This 533 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: guy put my wig on to make this judgment. And 534 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: so they took the wording from the Labushare Agreement and 535 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 1: they put it into section three seven seven A, almost 536 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: identically in Britain's penal code for Singapore as well. And 537 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: then when Singapore won their independence in nineteen sixty five, 538 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: they opted to retain this ban on gay sex. They 539 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: were like, it was good enough for when we were, 540 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: you know, occupied by England, it's good enough for us 541 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 1: independently now who are used to it, So why not now? 542 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: A little over ten years ago, Singapore announced that it 543 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: wasn't going to enforce three seven seven A any longer. Great, 544 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: you know, that's sort of like us in Atlanta, the 545 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: City of Atlanta decriminalized weed because Georgia will not legalize it. 546 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: But Atlanta was like, we are so fucking sick. We 547 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,439 Speaker 1: don't have time clapping people into jails, little dimebags. We're 548 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: not time for this. It's been decades in Singapore since 549 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: anyone was arrested or prosecuted under this law. And while 550 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: in a survey found that fifty five percent of Singaporeans 551 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: wanted to retain the law, that number had dropped to 552 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 1: ten ten percentage points only a few years. That's pretty good. 553 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: Do the math, right, Yeah, oh sorry, you're so right. 554 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: Even even hey, I was an English major for a reason. 555 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: Singapore's highest scot even suggested that three seven seven A 556 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: should be repealed simply because it goes against the country's 557 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: equality rights because it only applies to men. But ultimately 558 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: they said they were not in the business of social change, 559 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 1: and they left the decision to parliament classic, which is 560 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: so annoying. It's like, well, you're legally punishing social behavior, 561 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,839 Speaker 1: so you kind of are in the business of social change, 562 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: but you would deal with it. What about the social 563 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: change that was made by making it illegal in the 564 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: first place and just thrown that out there. Then just 565 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: this week, Prime Minister Lesienne Long said the government would 566 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 1: officially repeal the law. He said, quote, I believe this 567 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: is the right thing to do and something that most 568 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: Singaporeans will now accept. Singaporeans still have different views on 569 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 1: weather homosexuality is right or wrong, but most people accept 570 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,280 Speaker 1: that a person's sexual orientation and behavior is a private 571 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 1: and personal matter, and that sex between men should not 572 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 1: be a criminal offense. Even among those who want to 573 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: retain Section three seven seven A, most don't want to 574 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: see it actively enforced. So finally, after any four years, 575 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:42,320 Speaker 1: the law is going to be completely repealed. Everybody's so 576 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 1: happy woo. Everyone's celebrating, so excited that Singapore is that 577 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: much closer to equality for gay people. And the Prime 578 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,479 Speaker 1: Minister says, now, hold on just a dang minute there, 579 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,879 Speaker 1: and everyone's like, wait what he continues his speech. Does 580 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 1: the government felt like they needed to appease both sides 581 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: of this argument, so he added quote even as we 582 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 1: repeal three seven seven A, we will uphold and safeguard 583 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: the institution of marriage. Under the law, only marriages between 584 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: one man and one woman are recognized in Singapore. Yeah, 585 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: and that he's actually going to propose a constitutional Amendment 586 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: to define marriage specifically that way in Singapore's constitution, he said, quote, 587 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: the government will continue to uphold families as the basic 588 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 1: building blocks of society. Every group must accept that it 589 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: cannot get everything at once, because it is simply not possible. 590 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 1: We must maintain mutual respect and trust that we have 591 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: painstakingly built up over the years and stay united as 592 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: one people. Blah blah blah blah blah. Which is that? 593 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,959 Speaker 1: I mean, it's such a tired argument, so many tired 594 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: arguments in there. Actually, let's break it down, because you've 595 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: got a the idea that families are the basic building 596 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: blocks of society, and that a family specifically has to 597 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 1: be heteronormative man, woman, child, and that a family can't 598 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: be anything else. We know that a family looks like 599 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:18,880 Speaker 1: many different things, and sometimes those families are terrible. So 600 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,800 Speaker 1: don't tell me that that's like the right way to 601 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: do it or the only way. Very true, that's very frustrating. 602 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 1: And then yeah, it's like appeasement. We've got to make 603 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 1: everybody happy. Now, you don't where somebody's gonna be mad, 604 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 1: you know. And here's the difference. Let's say I'm a 605 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: gay couple and I want to get married and you 606 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,320 Speaker 1: say that I can't. I'm very upset that I can't 607 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: do the things I want to do and be the 608 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,879 Speaker 1: person I want to be in this country. Let's say 609 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: I'm some bigot and I don't want gay people to 610 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,320 Speaker 1: get married, and they say gay people can get married. 611 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 1: I continue my life ex actually the same as it was, 612 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: and literally nothing changes at all. So how is this everyone? 613 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 1: We've we've balanced it out, so both sides are getting 614 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: something and losing something. That's not it, not at all, 615 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: there's not that's not a balance. But one day I 616 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: might have to be nice to a gay teacher or 617 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 1: a gay parents or something, and I don't want to 618 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 1: be nice to them, and not even that they already 619 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: changed that long. It was like one day I might 620 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: have to just know that two people are married. Oh god, huh, 621 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 1: what will I do? Also, this sacred institute of marriage 622 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 1: is such a false thing. That's pretty recent because marriages 623 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 1: way back in the day, we're just you're shacked up 624 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,800 Speaker 1: for a while, and pep, we're like, great, you're married, 625 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: and then if somebody left, a few years would go 626 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,799 Speaker 1: by and one guess not coming back. Can you marry 627 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 1: someone else, like you just you did not have all 628 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,240 Speaker 1: of this hullabaloo about it, and so it's so funny 629 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,800 Speaker 1: that we create a marriage for legal reasons. Literally, we 630 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,319 Speaker 1: were like, who do you want to leave your it too? 631 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 1: And that is it. They added some religious stuff and 632 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 1: now it's this sacred institution, but that's really just to 633 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 1: get you to spent sixty dollars on your part. Well, 634 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 1: and then yeah, there's these people that are like, well, 635 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: we were okay with the law existing, we don't want 636 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 1: to see it enforced, but then why have it? Then 637 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 1: why have it a Well, it's it's the same on 638 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 1: both sides, because the pro lgbt Q movements were saying, 639 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,839 Speaker 1: I know you're not enforcing this law, but just having 640 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,760 Speaker 1: it on the books is oppressing us. It's giving people 641 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: the firepower and the ammunition the foundation to say, but 642 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 1: what you're doing is wrong technically illegally. I know we're 643 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 1: not enforcing it, but I know I'm learning that it 644 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,279 Speaker 1: says right there in the law that your existence is wrong. 645 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 1: And the people who were like, keep the law of 646 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,919 Speaker 1: the books, just don't enforce it feel the same way. 647 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: They're like, I love to be able to point to 648 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 1: the books and say I know that I can't to you, 649 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: but I know that legally you're wrong, I guess to me. 650 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 1: My immediate thought was that I will. I do want 651 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: it to be selectively enforced. There are certain people that 652 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: I would like you to use this law again. It's 653 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: there if I need it exactly, exactly definitely. UM. So 654 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 1: maybe it's it's probably you're right, and it's a combination 655 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,719 Speaker 1: of both, but more consciously it's probably that I just 656 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: like to be able to say you're wrong and I 657 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 1: know it. New York Times says that Singapore is quote 658 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,840 Speaker 1: famously known as a nanny state, and the government often 659 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 1: interferes and even small aspects of people's personal lives, so 660 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 1: they have strict and aggressive punishments for things like minor 661 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: drug possession that, for example, we in America are increasingly decriminalized. Um. 662 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,720 Speaker 1: There are a lot of strict conservative religious action groups 663 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,800 Speaker 1: that have been pushing for three seven seven A to 664 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,839 Speaker 1: not only stay on the books, but to be more 665 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 1: aggressively enforced. And meanwhile, l g B t Q community 666 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: groups have been celebrating the repeal but pushing back about 667 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 1: this idea of the amendment, saying, quote, we urged the 668 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 1: government not to heed recent calls from religious conservatives to 669 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: enshrine the definition of marriage into the constitution. Such a 670 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 1: decision will undermine the secular character of our constitution, codify 671 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:23,279 Speaker 1: further discrimination into supreme law, and tie the hands of 672 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 1: future parliament. Right right, very good point. Absolutely putting it 673 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 1: right there into the constitution is going to make things 674 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,479 Speaker 1: very hard, Doneline, which of course I assume is the point. 675 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 1: It's kind of like putting like into your constitution, like 676 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:39,359 Speaker 1: we abolish slavery except for punishment of a crime. It's 677 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: almost like when you do that, you sort of create 678 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 1: a criminal class for yourself so that you'll have a 679 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 1: lot of free labor. I don't know, just sit balling. 680 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 1: It's like a totally hypothetical. Yeah, I can't imagine anyone's 681 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: ever done that. Um yeah, that's that's really tough that 682 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,279 Speaker 1: they're going through that, because it is it's got to 683 00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,840 Speaker 1: be such a what dichotomous moment. You're are very excited 684 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 1: and also like, oh, but that's a big step back too, 685 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 1: because if it was just like we're gonna decriminalize homosexuality 686 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,359 Speaker 1: and we're not gonna allow gay marriage yet, that's one 687 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 1: thing and that already kind of sucks. You're like, you're 688 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,439 Speaker 1: this close, just do the whole thing. But they said, 689 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,400 Speaker 1: and we're specifically going to write down that you can 690 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 1: never get married. YEA, let's just get ahead of this 691 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 1: and stop you before you can even start. That sucks. 692 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 1: That does suck. What I guess, I'm glad that people 693 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 1: will not be getting blackmailed and arrested and so on, 694 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 1: because I think we did learn that a little bit 695 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 1: too about the British law was that it was really 696 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 1: just used to blackmail people. Um a lot of the time. 697 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,799 Speaker 1: It was not enforced unless you were like, I can 698 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: go tell the cops about you, so give me what 699 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: I want, right, So, still a long way to go 700 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,359 Speaker 1: for the LGBTQ community in Singapore and the world over, 701 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure, yeah, but but a big step forward also, 702 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 1: like one really good thing that we're all are excited about. 703 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 1: Keep the triumphs in there, yeah, absolutely for sure. Well, 704 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 1: we've got one more story to tell, and it's got 705 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,480 Speaker 1: a big old dick in it, so let's take a 706 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 1: quick commercial break and come back and deal with that. 707 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,399 Speaker 1: All right, Welcome back to the show. This is such 708 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 1: a fun story. I have it Parana since us this 709 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,640 Speaker 1: on Instagram, So thank you, Parana. I ken looking out 710 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:30,399 Speaker 1: for us on our Getting Bag episode events. So we're 711 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,959 Speaker 1: going to take you to the small town of Missantla 712 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:37,160 Speaker 1: in the eastern state of Vera Cruz in Mexico, where 713 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,400 Speaker 1: a woman named Katerina or Duna Perez recently passed away 714 00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:46,880 Speaker 1: at nine years Vice reports that she grew up in poverty. 715 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 1: She never attended school, but through hard work and determination, 716 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:55,360 Speaker 1: she became an influential person in Missantla, with politicians often 717 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 1: making a point to like stop by and court her 718 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,839 Speaker 1: and talk to her and a game with her because 719 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,320 Speaker 1: they knew how much clout she had. They're like, I 720 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 1: got you wanna you wanna be somebody in Massantla. You 721 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,840 Speaker 1: gotta get Donya Katarina on your side. Yea. And throughout 722 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,400 Speaker 1: her life she made a point to tell her children, 723 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: her grandchildren, and her great grandchildren how special they could 724 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 1: be and how they could accomplish anything they set their 725 00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 1: minds to. Her grandson Alvaro mote Lemon told Vice quote, 726 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 1: she always said, in the Mexican sense that we were 727 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:33,920 Speaker 1: very gas vigas. That's beautiful. I love this Vergas. That's 728 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,680 Speaker 1: one of those words that just it seems to me, 729 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 1: just makes me think I never took Spanish. But it's 730 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 1: it's lovely. I love this word. Let's let's read on here. 731 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:45,360 Speaker 1: Let's see. Virgas is a slang word in Mexico that 732 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 1: it can apparently translate a few different ways in English. 733 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:55,279 Speaker 1: The word that it's closest to is cock. How all right, 734 00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 1: but that's a bold word, Grandma, call me a dick today. 735 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: Is a big dick today. But that's not the only meaning. 736 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 1: Virgas can also be used to tell people to go 737 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:16,160 Speaker 1: funk themselves, La viga, remember that one. If I really 738 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,640 Speaker 1: want to get into a fight in Mexico, I'll remember 739 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,640 Speaker 1: that one. Well, don't forget. You can also tell them 740 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:25,880 Speaker 1: that they ain't ship by saying valas virga viga. But 741 00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: something called virga can also mean cool or badass, and 742 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 1: don't you Katarina always meant it like that. She referred 743 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 1: to her family as virgas to mean that they had 744 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,680 Speaker 1: moral strength than fortitude, or that they had, as Alvaro 745 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:45,439 Speaker 1: told Vice, quote, integrity, courage, passion, and at the same 746 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:49,359 Speaker 1: time love and joy just like a dick, a lot 747 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:55,400 Speaker 1: like a penis. Yeah, that's what I think of integrity, courage, fortitude, passion, 748 00:46:55,600 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 1: love and joy, and maybe stubbornness occasionally uh misguidance. Well, 749 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:12,759 Speaker 1: Alvaro points out that yes, yes, stick in your head 750 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 1: where it don't belong, sometimes like a like a buffalo's nostril. Well, 751 00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:27,400 Speaker 1: Alvaro points out that in a country quote steeped in machismo, 752 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:32,719 Speaker 1: she managed to instill enough Big Vargas energy into her 753 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,040 Speaker 1: family that a lot of them went onto wide ranging careers, 754 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,720 Speaker 1: like Alvaro's sister got her doctorate degree, and Alvara himself 755 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,880 Speaker 1: completed two master's degrees and was even mayor of Missantla 756 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,480 Speaker 1: for a while. How do you think he courted Donya Katarina. 757 00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,720 Speaker 1: He had to come over, bring some cookies and grandma. 758 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 1: He's like, hello, I'm the only virga running. So now, 759 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,880 Speaker 1: over the years, Donya Katarina told her family and the 760 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 1: people of Missancla that when she died, she wanted her 761 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:09,800 Speaker 1: tomb adorned with a giant penis. She's like a bold, spunky, 762 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 1: playful kind of woman. So Alvaro and most people thought 763 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:17,160 Speaker 1: it was just a joke. Donia Katza making her dick 764 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,280 Speaker 1: jokes again, but then close to her death. Alvaro asked 765 00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 1: her about it again. He's like, do you really mean that, 766 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,600 Speaker 1: because now we're actually planning, you know, is that just joke? 767 00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,320 Speaker 1: And he told Vice that she explained, quote, it was 768 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 1: her desire so that no one would forget her and 769 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:37,440 Speaker 1: that everything we loved about her would be remembered more easily. 770 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,759 Speaker 1: She's not wrong about that. It'll be hard to forget 771 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,839 Speaker 1: a lady with this this monument, for sure, I love. 772 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:47,440 Speaker 1: She's like, oh no, I meant that ship. They all 773 00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,919 Speaker 1: thought it was joking. No, no, no, no, I don't 774 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:54,880 Speaker 1: joke about That's one thing I'm extremely always been serious, 775 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 1: and it tracked with her personality. She was quote always 776 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:03,560 Speaker 1: very avant, hard, very forward thinking about things. She wanted 777 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,319 Speaker 1: to break the paradigm of everything Mexican, where things are 778 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 1: sometimes hidden because of not having an open mind. That 779 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,960 Speaker 1: was again Alvaro talking to Vice, which I think is 780 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,239 Speaker 1: interesting because if if if they're one of their definitions 781 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: of Virga is cool or badass, that kind of makes sense. 782 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,720 Speaker 1: It tracks if you're dicks are cool. Well, she's clearly 783 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,560 Speaker 1: like the cool, funky punk rock grandma, you know, like 784 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:32,840 Speaker 1: cool grandma. She seemed like a real just up minded, 785 00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,720 Speaker 1: like down for the party, definitely make a Dick jokes, 786 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,360 Speaker 1: which I love. I love seeing that was when in 787 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,720 Speaker 1: someone who had kind of a limited life and always 788 00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,919 Speaker 1: lived in a small town and like maybe didn't see 789 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 1: that much of the world, but for like, for some reason, 790 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:49,720 Speaker 1: they just have this expanse, you know, this this ability 791 00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:53,520 Speaker 1: to take it all in and and really enjoy enjoy life, 792 00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:58,200 Speaker 1: you know. So anyway, after she passed away on January one, 793 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,840 Speaker 1: Alvaro says, quote, we talked as a family and decided 794 00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,440 Speaker 1: to make her dream come true. What a family meeting that, 795 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,280 Speaker 1: all right, We got to meet about the giant Dicks statue. 796 00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,919 Speaker 1: Grandma want all right, everybody, I've got two jars here, 797 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,239 Speaker 1: Dick or no Dick. Everybody just put a slip of 798 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:18,560 Speaker 1: paper in one or the other, and we're going to 799 00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,120 Speaker 1: count them anonymous voting, yeah, if you want to keep 800 00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,279 Speaker 1: your name off. And they're like, oh my god. It 801 00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 1: was unanimous for But of course now they're dealing with 802 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 1: the logistics of it. Who out there could construct this 803 00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:38,760 Speaker 1: giant Dick statue. Alvaro called a local engineer named Cedro Lavonier, 804 00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:43,520 Speaker 1: who builds plastic products like water tanks, or children's play sets, 805 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,960 Speaker 1: and he made a request and hey, um, can you 806 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,920 Speaker 1: put the kids toys down and build me a giant penis? 807 00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:55,680 Speaker 1: Make me a grandma's toy? Uh huh, Cidro. Of course 808 00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,759 Speaker 1: he thought it was a joke to quote, because it's 809 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:02,200 Speaker 1: not very common to see these kinds of sculptures or monuments, 810 00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,680 Speaker 1: and even less so in the memory of someone who's deceased. 811 00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,440 Speaker 1: Nobody asked for giant dicks to be constructed out of 812 00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:13,520 Speaker 1: plastic products, but Alvaro persisted. He told him, no, I'm 813 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,920 Speaker 1: dead serious, we really want this dick grave. And finally 814 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,320 Speaker 1: a Sedro was convinced because, after all, quote Donya Kata 815 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,680 Speaker 1: was someone who broke taboos. I wonder how many messages 816 00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,439 Speaker 1: he had to leave. Yeah, he was like, no, hello, 817 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,440 Speaker 1: this is it's me again. I'm very serious. Is not 818 00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,520 Speaker 1: a kid magan prank call? I really need to know. 819 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 1: So is Cedro got to work alongside. This was not 820 00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,920 Speaker 1: a one person job. He needed a carpenter, a sander, 821 00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:44,440 Speaker 1: a sculptor, and a carver to build this statue. Vice 822 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,800 Speaker 1: says quote. They got particularly delayed on the ball sack 823 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,120 Speaker 1: when the first attempt was disfigured and they had to 824 00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:55,160 Speaker 1: start the process again. Yeah, he's like, no disfigured testicles 825 00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,440 Speaker 1: for Dona Kata. Is Cedro explained that they had to 826 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,719 Speaker 1: melt down materials quote to give it the necessary amplitude 827 00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:08,080 Speaker 1: so that the testicles could be formed. I made some 828 00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:14,120 Speaker 1: bulk for this ball. So finally, on July two, more 829 00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,640 Speaker 1: than a year later, the completed monument was mounted to 830 00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:21,880 Speaker 1: Donna Katta's tomb and unveiled a five and a half 831 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:27,600 Speaker 1: foot tall, shiny pink cock and balls weighing nearly six 832 00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:33,600 Speaker 1: hundred pounds in quote, recognition of her love and joy 833 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 1: for life. I mean, look, if I don't know her, 834 00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,399 Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk back, walk by that grave and think 835 00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:44,359 Speaker 1: it's in recognition of her love and joy for dicks. Hey, 836 00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,759 Speaker 1: maybe she had that. She did love dicks. I mean, 837 00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:52,120 Speaker 1: clearly she had some respect for the date. She had 838 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,319 Speaker 1: a lot of respect to the date. And of course 839 00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,920 Speaker 1: this immediately went viral. I mean, you don't see a 840 00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,000 Speaker 1: five and a half foot tall pink and not take 841 00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:02,839 Speaker 1: a picture of probably in the story floating around there, 842 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:07,960 Speaker 1: um is Cedro received some interesting new commission. He got 843 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,080 Speaker 1: a request from a family of a guy who had 844 00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:13,680 Speaker 1: worked for years in the construction industry for a gravestone 845 00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:17,960 Speaker 1: shaped like a dump trap. So new new, new, novelty 846 00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:21,880 Speaker 1: gravestone business for this guy. But of course, you know, 847 00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,839 Speaker 1: plenty of people don't appreciate seeing a giant penis out 848 00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:29,280 Speaker 1: of nowhere. Alvaro told Vice, quote, of every ten people, 849 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 1: I think that around seven see it positively. And if 850 00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,239 Speaker 1: they don't see it as a good thing, they at 851 00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:38,480 Speaker 1: least respect Donya katsis wishes. There are others who, in 852 00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:43,160 Speaker 1: their conservative values, are very closed minded, very square, who 853 00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:47,040 Speaker 1: see it poorly. Um, I like, he's like these squares 854 00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:55,359 Speaker 1: old loved It's how old are you get your life right? 855 00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,360 Speaker 1: But as Vice reports, the family had discussed that ahead 856 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,000 Speaker 1: of time, probably when they made their unanimous jar decision, 857 00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,200 Speaker 1: and they were prepared for any criticism or amount of backlash. 858 00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,759 Speaker 1: To respect Donna Katarina's wishes, They're like, well, go through 859 00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:14,080 Speaker 1: it for her. We don't care. Vice concludes, quote, after all, 860 00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:20,640 Speaker 1: the family is made up of gas bowls. They don't 861 00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:25,640 Speaker 1: mind resting their way into the new world. They're like, 862 00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:30,480 Speaker 1: no matter what happens, we will remain turgient. That's right. 863 00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,399 Speaker 1: What a story. It's so and it's worth bull Look 864 00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,920 Speaker 1: for sure that the pictures are very amazing. If you 865 00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,080 Speaker 1: didn't know what was there would definitely be a surprise 866 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:46,920 Speaker 1: amongst all the angels with like trumpets, you know, like, 867 00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,960 Speaker 1: wait a second, what's that in the distance? Did they 868 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,000 Speaker 1: know that that looks exactly like a big dick? Oh? 869 00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:58,319 Speaker 1: Do we we fixed the balls? In fact? Well, I'm 870 00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:02,880 Speaker 1: thinking about Victor Noir his like small pants bulge that 871 00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,600 Speaker 1: people lose their minds over what's going to happen to 872 00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:09,640 Speaker 1: this dick? Okay, And it's like thrusting vertically into the air. 873 00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,040 Speaker 1: So I'm like, you could see people do a pole 874 00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:18,319 Speaker 1: dance on that.
