Speaker 1: How do you not explode?
Speaker 2: I had? This is me at half the amount that
Speaker 2: I'm normally on. I'm normally fucking suited. That's why the
Speaker 2: last time I was on here it went so well
Speaker 2: because I just scored like a lot of shit. I
Speaker 2: don't even remember it. It was kind of a hallucination
Speaker 2: whole thing to me.
Speaker 1: Well, we have it on the ball.
Speaker 2: I made up a bunch of news stories that I
Speaker 2: told you were real, that I thought were funny.
Speaker 1: I'm titling this episode today.
Speaker 2: Jane, are you still there?
Speaker 1: Hello listeners, Welcome to minnisode number four. This week, Janey's
Speaker 1: danger is here with me again. She actually never left.
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Jane.
Speaker 2: I need I need help. I've been in this closet
Speaker 2: for a week. Please, this like isn't a bit.
Speaker 1: I have been feeding you, and I have been keeping
Speaker 1: the lights on a daylight.
Speaker 2: I cannot live off of goldfish, but I appreciate that
Speaker 2: you have been feeding me.
Speaker 1: But Okay, I do have a feedback form that you
Speaker 1: are welcome to fill out when I release you.
Speaker 2: Did the other prisoners get to fill out one of
Speaker 2: those because all of them are dead. I sleep on
Speaker 2: a pile of bodies at the bottom of a well.
Speaker 2: Let me out.
Speaker 1: I am Samara and you're in my well. No, it's
Speaker 1: almost been seven days. Okay, it has actually spooky uky,
Speaker 1: so apparently I can't do this show about you anymore.
Speaker 2: Thank you for being It's good to know. But how
Speaker 2: have you been?
Speaker 1: How was your week?
Speaker 2: Ben? What have you been in I went and skated yesterday.
Speaker 2: That was fun. I got did some tricks. I literally
Speaker 2: don't remember a single other thing I did. Did you
Speaker 2: wear protection like a condom?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Do you have a condom on when you skate?
Speaker 2: I would never do in the park.
Speaker 1: No, you wear your You wear a helmet of course, right?
Speaker 2: And no, why would I do that?
Speaker 1: You want the you want the blame?
Speaker 2: Not cool. Have you ever seen someone skating with a
Speaker 2: helmet and nee pads? Yeah? And all the textbooks I
Speaker 2: read exactly. No, you we gotta we gotta, I gotta
Speaker 2: turn you out and make you a ramp tramp.
Speaker 1: Oh turn me out, Mama.
Speaker 2: Yeah, have you have you sitting at the half pipe? Like,
Speaker 2: oh wow, how.
Speaker 1: I used to be that girl? Actually, can we talk
Speaker 1: about that firm?
Speaker 2: How do I get that?
Speaker 1: Or to stick to their legs? I used to be
Speaker 1: that girl? What was that park in Lawrenceville?
Speaker 2: Waker with that?
Speaker 1: Yes, Mama, I was at Bay Creek Park, Mama, And
Speaker 1: I was there looking at all the boys with their
Speaker 1: little skateboards. I had a skater boyfriend, really and nice nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's the top tier kind of boyfriends. He
Speaker 2: was okay as a boyfriend. Yeah, but they're all like
Speaker 2: the smelliest boy you've ever met, for sure.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I wanted to talk about the news, is it?
Speaker 2: Yeah? What you got? What? I'm curious what you have
Speaker 2: because I looked up, like what happened this week? And
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone remembers. Yeah, not a lot happened
Speaker 2: this week.
Speaker 1: Actually, it's kind of a blur, and I'm actually like,
Speaker 1: no news is good news, right, Well, there was some
Speaker 1: bad news, but there was some bad news and we
Speaker 1: are going to cover it. So first, yeah, we'll talk
Speaker 1: about why we fucking hate it here. And this is
Speaker 1: basically just like following up with stuff we've been talking
Speaker 1: about over the past couple of weeks. So Zoe Zephyr
Speaker 1: sued to get her place back in the Montana house,
Speaker 1: and the judge rejected that that just happened a couple
Speaker 1: of days ago. Then recently, both Zoe Zephyr and her
Speaker 1: girlfriend Aaron Reid, who is also yeah, Aaron Reid, were
Speaker 1: targeted in a swatting attack. What yeah, they were both swatted.
Speaker 1: So let's open the article really quick. It's a pink
Speaker 1: News article. Sorry, everyone, I fucking hate pink News.
Speaker 2: Maybe we did. They do pink news.
Speaker 1: You want to know my beef with pink News.
Speaker 2: They don't always say how beautiful you are.
Speaker 1: They don't always say how sexy, fly, cool and beautiful.
Speaker 2: I hate them too. I'm curious. I mean, most journal us,
Speaker 2: in my opinion, I'm kind of skeptical. It did some.
Speaker 1: Shitty journalism during the Colorado shooting of the Yes, exactly,
Speaker 1: they did some shitty reporting on the shooter when the
Speaker 1: shooter's lawyer.
Speaker 2: Said he was.
Speaker 1: Ye yung like they fell for it kind of Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: they absolutely and reported it as fact without really even
Speaker 1: kind of.
Speaker 2: Like, that's insane. That is insane.
Speaker 1: It's completely insane and it's like literally doing the job
Speaker 1: of these fascists.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, So.
Speaker 1: That is why I have beef with Pink News.
Speaker 2: I feel like any like oddist like person covering that
Speaker 2: should just be like he's lying. Like it's like like, no, no,
Speaker 2: there's no part of like being trans that says humans
Speaker 2: can't lie, Like yeah, exactly, Like I think generally like
Speaker 2: ninety nine percent of the time you should trust people
Speaker 2: on what they say their gender identity is. But people
Speaker 2: will lie sometimes, like that's just true, like and in
Speaker 2: this case, this is one of those obvious like lies
Speaker 2: to like own the fucking lift like ever, like that's
Speaker 2: that's crazy, right.
Speaker 1: And then there's also like been other examples of like
Speaker 1: literal men claiming to be trans women, like going into
Speaker 1: women's like causing a fuss just to like cause a fuss.
Speaker 2: Right, It's like someone who can't find any examples of
Speaker 2: trans women going to the gym and causing a rucket.
Speaker 2: So it's like I'm just gonna cross dress and be like, oh,
Speaker 2: excuse me, sir, I got my nuts in your face.
Speaker 2: Can you spot me? I'm a woman, by the way,
Speaker 2: And it's like that's not happening. You're doing that, that's.
Speaker 1: You exactly, so exactly that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So Aaron Reid tweeted this was tweeted on May second.
Speaker 1: Somebody just attempted to swap me for my reporting on
Speaker 1: transgender legislation and events. This is the part that I
Speaker 1: was like, huh. Thankfully, I've worked closely with the police
Speaker 1: in community in my community anticipating this, and the attempt failed.
Speaker 1: I will never stop advocating for my community and will
Speaker 1: never be silenced.
Speaker 2: I'll let it pass. I mean, I think when you're
Speaker 2: like life is in danger, like you know, that's that's
Speaker 2: maybe like the one time where it's like okay, maybe.
Speaker 1: No, And what they really mean is like they've literally
Speaker 1: told police like right, right, yeah, we're probably going to
Speaker 1: be a target for people to swatter. Yeah, And I
Speaker 1: think that's a perfectly reasonable thing to do in their
Speaker 1: situation because it could go horribly wrong otherwise.
Speaker 2: I think that's different than being like, this guy's making
Speaker 2: me uncomfortable. Can can you guys come down and shoot him? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Swatting's bad, They'll kill your dog. Swatting's bad. There's a
Speaker 2: lot of beauty translated official stance swatting is bad unless
Speaker 2: they do it to you, because I need to be
Speaker 2: set free. I don't know how you're getting away with this.
Speaker 1: Please set Janie free.
Speaker 2: Get me out of the well.
Speaker 1: Do we want to talk about the pronouns Bill in Florida?
Speaker 1: Basically Florida, Okay, Florida passed a fucking bill.
Speaker 2: The pronouns Bill in Florida. I feel like they do
Speaker 2: that and they wake up in the morning and they
Speaker 2: make a pronouns bill.
Speaker 1: So now teachers are required to identify their students by
Speaker 1: the sex they were assigned at birth, the pronouns and names.
Speaker 2: This is all. This is all just leading to penis
Speaker 2: inspection Day. That is that is the Republicans, That's what
Speaker 2: they want because if you have to ref to the
Speaker 2: students like assigned gender at birth, and you've got some
Speaker 2: like Andrew asked, like students in there, then what else
Speaker 2: can you do but penis inspection day to know their
Speaker 2: assigned sex at birth.
Speaker 1: Like I would be that girl. I would be in
Speaker 1: the penis inspection line. They would say, get that girl
Speaker 1: to the penis and.
Speaker 2: Would be so excited for penis inspection that something right
Speaker 2: about that girl. I'd be at the front of the line,
Speaker 2: like i'd be like, get getting back in line, Like
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if they really got a good look.
Speaker 1: Putting on like a grapho marks classes or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wearing a wig like yeah, but.
Speaker 1: No, you're right, that's like literally what this is all
Speaker 1: leaning up to. And it's fucking insane.
Speaker 2: Next week it's going to be maybe not next week,
Speaker 2: maybe not the week after, but eventually you'll have me
Speaker 2: on we'll be talking about Florida's penis inspection day law.
Speaker 1: I hope it's I hope it's a lot further away
Speaker 1: than we think, but it feels like it could be
Speaker 1: in like three day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, straight up. Yeah, that's what's gonna what's gonna get
Speaker 2: DeSantis the nomination. He's gonna be making a speech. Ye,
Speaker 2: I inspected all the genitals of all the children, and
Speaker 2: everyone's gonna be like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got to make sure they were correct.
Speaker 2: We got we got the just like we have the
Speaker 2: best orange juice, we have the best children's genitalia.
Speaker 1: That is why that is the platform he's running down
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four and I'm horrified.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna lose, he's washed. It's over for him.
Speaker 1: It's over all, right, let's take a break. I think
Speaker 1: that's enough of why we fucking hate it here. When
Speaker 1: we come back, we're gonna celebrate that, and we're back,
Speaker 1: all right, listeners. So one thing I wanted to celebrate
Speaker 1: that I saw happened this week was transactivist Dominique Morgan
Speaker 1: has been appointed by Mayor Andre Dickens to the City
Speaker 1: of Atlanta Human Relations Commission. So I think that's pretty
Speaker 1: fucking cool. We have a black trans woman in that office.
Speaker 1: So let's celebrate that. Let's celebrate that, all right, Jennie,
Speaker 1: what do you have?
Speaker 2: Okay. The big news that I saw, like kind of
Speaker 2: couldn't escape this week was the writer's strike. Oh yes,
Speaker 2: I can tell the writers are overworked because there's too
Speaker 2: many shows. There's too many shows. Yeah, there's so many shows.
Speaker 2: There's so many How they make any shows? I mean,
Speaker 2: we're on a show but doesn't have a writer, does it?
Speaker 2: Have you been you scripted this?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: Not very well?
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, you're right. That has been the main event
Speaker 1: of this week is the writer Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like, I've seen a lot of videos of people like
Speaker 2: Seth Meyers, even like Jimmy Fallon and all these people
Speaker 2: who normally seem like AI generated are are just like
Speaker 2: you know, kind of tacitly in support of it. And
Speaker 2: that's just interesting to me because like that's not something
Speaker 2: you ever see with any other union like labor organization
Speaker 2: of anything. Like the fucking train workers got denied like
Speaker 2: everything runs on a goddamn train, like and like they
Speaker 2: got nationally like snubbed. But the writers are seem to
Speaker 2: be getting like pretty well supported across their respective field.
Speaker 1: So and the big thing they're pushing for is no AI.
Speaker 2: Oh I fully support that. That's insane. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: I have a feeling I wouldn't be surprised if they
Speaker 2: like use this as a means to like try it out. Wow, absolutely,
Speaker 2: while the writers are like picketing on shore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's like going to produce some of the
Speaker 1: worst content ever because let me tell you, you want
Speaker 1: to know something. First week I got my peppy. I
Speaker 1: was really tired, and I logged into chat GPT and
Speaker 1: I said, Chat GPT, write me some vo form my episode.
Speaker 1: It sucked.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Right.
Speaker 1: It's kind of just like a magic trick. Really yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like a cool it's like a cool like computer trick,
Speaker 1: like look you with this computer.
Speaker 2: Car, right, right, And I wouldn't be surprised if there's
Speaker 2: people that get incredibly uh lazy and start like relying
Speaker 2: on it. But I don't think it's uh, I I
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't see that being something that, even
Speaker 2: if it tricks a lot of people, being something that's
Speaker 2: like sustainable in the long run, because people want they
Speaker 2: want that feeling of like, oh, this person suffered and
Speaker 2: went through this, and I feel like this and now
Speaker 2: I'm hearing a song that like makes me feel better
Speaker 2: about what I'm going through, you know, and people they
Speaker 2: want to hear the human yeah, and the inverse, like
Speaker 2: the artist wants to like turn that into like music movies,
Speaker 2: Like you said, like even if a robot like fucking
Speaker 2: could do that, it's just not who cares.
Speaker 1: I think right now, I think people are caught up.
Speaker 1: I think I think right now it's just caught up
Speaker 1: with like, oh it's cool, like we can do that
Speaker 1: sort of Like in the early two thousands, I feel
Speaker 1: like we were doing a lot with CGI like in
Speaker 1: movies that was like completely unnecessary and over the top.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean that is an art form though,
Speaker 1: like people are actually oh yeah, yeah, for sure, But
Speaker 1: to say like, I think it was just like a
Speaker 1: fascination with like the new technology type of thing, and
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of what's happening, And I don't
Speaker 1: think it's actually going to produce results that people connect
Speaker 1: with in the long run, you know. Same, Well, that's
Speaker 1: not something to celebrate. But we had a lot to
Speaker 1: fucking hate today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't know what else to celebrate. It's okay,
Speaker 2: I'm kind of uh, yeah, I don't know. That's okay.
Speaker 1: We don't have Yeah, we're depressed. We are out of
Speaker 1: serotonin today. Uh, you know what we can celebrate? I
Speaker 1: turned thirty this month.
Speaker 2: Happy birthday.
Speaker 1: Turned thirty this month, and I've been reflecting a lot
Speaker 1: on my place in the world as a woman in society,
Speaker 1: as a trans woman in the trans community, as a
Speaker 1: fucking podcaster, and all of this. And I'm really excited
Speaker 1: for what this next decade of my life has to
Speaker 1: has to bring, you know, So, God, why am I
Speaker 1: so emotional today?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: Do you have anything to promote?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I only have one show for the same show. Well,
Speaker 2: I've got to Actually, I've got one in Greenville, South
Speaker 2: Carolina at the Artistry Gallery. I believe it's called on
Speaker 2: May tenth, and I'm going to be doing a solo
Speaker 2: set on June twenty first at No tomorrow and Underground Atlanta,
Speaker 2: And if you come to that, I'm going to be
Speaker 2: playing some new songs and it's going to be just me.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be doing kind of a Molly Nilsen thing,
Speaker 2: so period. Yeah, if you want to hear some new stuff,
Speaker 2: you'll come to that, and some songs that I've never
Speaker 2: gotten to play live before.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 2: I should.
Speaker 1: I really need to come out and see you. I
Speaker 1: think it would make me feel better.
Speaker 2: You said.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well that is all for our miniso this week.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being here with me, Janey
Speaker 1: of course, and yep, we'll be back on Wednesday with
Speaker 1: another full length episode of Beauty Translated. My guest next week.
