It's where you pick out a particularly 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:56.960 wacky member of you know, the other ideology and feature them. 0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:59.960 But this one, I just think number one, there's so many, 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:03.720 any of these, And the setup is you're not supposed 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.640 to say, Wow, that's a person with real mental problems 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.360 who needs help.

I will devote myself, heart 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:47.600 and soul to their aftercare. And I want to be 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.960 the first trans woman to have an abortion. 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:57.000 You are full on mentally ill and evil? Yeah.

That's somebody who has 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.400 terrible mental problems. Then you're right. 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.280 It is not picking to a certain extent, it's taking 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.680 like an extreme example of the people you don't agree 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.840 with in kind of act and then trying to pretend 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:18.760 sometimes that. 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.239 It represents a large point of view, which I'm sure 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:21.760 this does not. 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:26.880 But though Joe Biden met with that poor unfortunate Dylan 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.520 mulvaney character to show how down he was with the 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:30.639 trans folks. 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.600 Absolutely, and uh well and bud Light. 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.000 Thought it was important enough to make it part of 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.720 their advertising campaign to their demise. But where did that 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.600 video audio come from? I mean, how what platform was 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:42.440 that on to even. 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:46.720 Be They posted it online on I think was TikTok wow, 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:53.520 and the people who compile crazy progressives, you know, re 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:54.800 retweeted it or whatever. 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.880 There's a lot of things that go into this phenomenon 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:03.760 that's happening right now. But part of it is everybody 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:08.600 needs to be famous or you know, seen or liked 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.959 or whatever, and you know it's getting harder and harder 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.040 to do. It's a crowded field, so you have to 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:19.359 be so out there to get some attention. And well 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.280 you talk about it's leading attention. 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:26.919 Well, and he's talking about a willing trans masculine man. 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.760 So is that a woman who's becoming a man who 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:31.160 doesn't want her puss anymore? 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.720 Yeah? Correct, Yes, I don't. 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:34.400 Math like this. 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:35.520 This isn't working in my head. 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.920 Yeah, well I got to admit at some point, and 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.000 I'll bet I'm not the only one. As he was 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.760 describing who he was going to do what with and 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.200 that they were trans this and masculine, I was I 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.840 was like, I need a chart. I'm losing track of, 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.080 like who's who's going to bring the sperm to this party? 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.600 Because I'm lost. 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:58.640 For instance, he's bringing the sperm and the bonus hols 0:03:58.680 --> 0:03:59.480 to this party? 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.240 Oh oh boy again with that term I love uh 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.320 oh oh. So I saw a bud Light commercial. I 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.280 think it was during the All Star Game which as 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.640 we record, this was last night, and I didn't watch 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.320 much of it because my beloved Giants have angered me 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:17.599 and I'm just not a baseball fan anymore. But the 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:21.160 bud Light commercial, and they never enunciated it, but it 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:27.360 was like people screwing up a guy, you know, dropping 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:28.839 the meat on the way to the grill, I can't 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:33.640 remember the specifics, and somebody spilling something, and then somebody 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.440 breaking something, and then it went to bud Light. 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:41.200 So easy to drink, so easy to enjoy, And. 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:45.280 It didn't occur to me until I was like, oh, oh, 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.520 they're making light of the fact that they really fed up. 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.120 And their commercial theme is look at everybody, everybody f's 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:53.680 up now. 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:57.680 And again, Yeah, dropping the ribs on the ground is 0:04:57.760 --> 0:04:59.839 not the same as making a decision. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:00.880 I'm sure there were. 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.560 A half dozen or more people involved in of a 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:06.960 giant marketing campaign. 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.120 Yeah, not to take this too serious. Leave it very briefly. 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.599 What the bud Light is a beautiful example of is 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.400 that Anheuser Busch, or at least the people involved in 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:20.760 the bud Light marketing became convinced, perhaps because they're personally 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:24.360 down with it, but became convinced that that very tiny 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:28.279 but outsized minority of Americans who pitches all this radical 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:35.000 gender theory stuff represents most people. They got fooled and 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:39.520 then reality, which Bat's last speaking of baseball said not 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:45.200 so much. We'll drink any other beer, literally, any other beer. Well, 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:52.360 let's keep cleaning out the Suffridge's. Thanks metal guy. Ah, 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.279 let's see. Oh, Michael, do you want to introduce clip eleven? 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:56.320 Is there anything we need to know? 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:57.320 Oh? 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:57.560 Yeah. 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.760 A kid goes into Dunkin Donuts and four dollars with 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.520 him and he wants some strawberry donuts and uh. He 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.760 basically ends up wanting to get a few donuts and 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.120 ends up with the whole box. Okay, so he explains 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.760 how how he got them. 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.280 Because they didn't have the type of donut I wanted. 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:14.440 She gave me a deal. 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.000 I could get bol strawberry donuts for the price of one, 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.400 and I decided, can I get two for that deal? 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.440 So I could surprice my money. 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.239 So I wanted some munchkins, but they didn't have that either. 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:31.120 She gave me the right if you all of them, 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:40.520 there is a tool. 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.720 That is one very pleased woman with the number of 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.279 cheap donuts you got wow. 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.520 Our sun drives a hard bargain.

I'm asking for the manager, please. 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:00.960 Karen, and making yes. 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.360 Exactly how are you gonna make this right? It's because 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.320 I'm black, right, or a child or a woman or something. 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.240 You being racistly out of munchkins. 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.760 He's gonna end up running a hedge fund or something. 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:13.240 Keep an eye on that. 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.480 You send them trans didn't you, And that's why you 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:19.200 wouldn't make more of these? Would you like me to 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:23.080 go publicize? Oh God, give him as many donuts as 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.960 you want. Just get him out of here, Michael, let 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.520 any introduction necessary to twelve. 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:30.680 Katie might be able to relate to this. This is 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.520 when a guy gives you mixed signals. 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:36.040 Is why he's giving you mixed signals. He's either unsure 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.840 about you, the relationship, or both. If he's truly interested, 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.400 he'll put in the effort consistently. So don't waste your 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.720 time on a guy who's indecisive. Your job is not 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:48.160 to convince someone, but to find someone who doesn't need convincing. 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.640 If a guy stop talking to you, remember this quote. 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.640 If your absence doesn't bother them, your presence never mattered 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:56.960 to them. You don't belong with someone who doesn't want you. 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.120 He's done you a favor by eliminating himself. 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.600 Good ones spitting truth. I know my reaction is duck. 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.160 Yeah, well, that's one of the best things that Sex 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.320 and the City ever came up with. That whole he's 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:12.280 just not that into me. Thing as opposed to torturing 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.400 yourself for both men and women, as opposed to torturing yourself. Well, 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.520 why somebody is you know, didn't call you back or 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:22.520 they always I've just been so busy, don't don't you know, 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.880 don't tie myself into knots because I've done this over it. 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.280 They just don't dig you that much, So move on. 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.840 Yeah, I'm not shocked to hear you say that, Katie. 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:33.840 We don't know you well, we've only worked together a 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.600 fairly short time. But you do strike me as more 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:40.120 tethered to reality as opposed to what you wish were 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.199 reality than some folks. 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.360 Well, I mean, I appreciate that, and I feel like 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.280 if you're dating somebody and they aren't calling you back, 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:50.360 and this is the fifth time that he says. 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.440 Oh, I was busy. Hello, wake up. 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.319 But I think it's pretty obvious he doesn't want to 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:54.640 talk to you. 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:56.960 It's tough, though, if you really really want something to 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:58.640 be true though, to let go of that, I mean, 0:08:58.640 --> 0:08:59.839 that's easier said to done. 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:01.440 Yeah. 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.800 Oh yeah, that's why you have to like rededicate yourself 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.480 to clinging to reality over and over again in your life. 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.640 If he isn't being bothered by your absence, he didn't 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.360 care much about your presence.

He 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.280 he walked in the store and he sees this guy 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.240 and he wonders what's going on, and he figures out 0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.000 he's got a book to selling on and he watks 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.680 back out to his car and he says to himself, 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.760 wait a minute, I keep thinking about this guy. 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:06.360 I'm gonna go back in and talk to him. 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.400 And so he talked to him, and he videoed him, 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.480 and as he said in the caption, he said, you 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.240 know what, let me put this on my TikTok. Maybe 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.800 we'll get you some love. The guy describing his book 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.520 and everything think rockets to the top of the best 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:23.680 seller lists, The freaking power of the Internet. 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.400 Is a book any good bottom role? Or is it 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:32.000 just a whole bunch of people feeling like you were describing? 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:33.719 Where we feel bad for the old guy tried to 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:35.560 write a novel. It's it's a dream, you know what. 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.160 It happened so quickly, I would imagine they probably went 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.120 straight to Amazon and gave him a high rating. But 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.120 his books did sell out that day as well. 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:44.920 It was a dark and stormy night, Lee Howard and 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.160 the Ghosts of Simmons Pierce Manner. 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.400 Sounds good. Are the hardy boys? Isn't it? Sounds like 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:50.280 the hardy boys are in it. 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:54.720 That would be a copyright infringement, Jack, But it's a ghost, 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.719 an orphaned girl who uses the help of ghostly companions 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:00.680 to solve the murder of her parents. 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:05.439 All right, it's apelling stuff, man, all the execution. Obviously 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:09.400 pelling stuff. Okay, that's ultimately a story about kindness and 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.760 the kind spirit of a humanity. 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.320 That's what it is. I think it is. 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.240 Unless it turns out this TikToker dude demanded a cut. 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:19.280 Oh, somebody is going to the Internet's gonna get a 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.240 hold of the old guy and find out anything he's 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:22.560 ever done untoward in his life. 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:24.160 No change his story around. 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.600 No nursery store is a weird spot for a book signing, 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:29.880 it is, That's what I'm saying. You're trying to reach 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:31.960 the pickles, and this guy's sitting there with his books 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:32.680 the table. 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:34.439 So I walked by the one table says can you 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:35.880 give us some money for youth sports? And then I 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:37.480 got to the other table. It's a guy with a 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:38.520 novel I don't know. 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.760 And then on the way out you're being sold chocolate bars, 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:41.760 right exactly. 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.680 Well, but inside the story even you're thinking, yeah, I 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.360 got to get some some ground beef for the hamburgers tonight. 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.960 You gotta get buns and ketchup, and probably ought to 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:53.520 find a good summer beach rade too. An obscure novel, 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.839 said nobody, but sounds good. I mean they solved the 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.240 murder of her parents. Surely in favor of that, all right, 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.320 if it gone unsolved, it'd be disappointed. Well, right, yeah, 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:05.600 I guess these sound fridge is now reasonably clean. 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.360 Yeah, that mayonnaise was past its to date.

I believe it's karmically unacceptable. 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:06.920 It's just, you know, I don't belong to any religion 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.240 that forbids me from eating any particular foods. But I've 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.600 crafted my own set of beliefs, and I will not 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:16.680 eat another man's even if it is a cow man. 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.479 I will not eat another creature's testicules. 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:25.080 What about juggling them, I asked, because I I did that. 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.480 I juggled pig testicles for charity. Oh, really I did. 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:29.960 They were quite slick. 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:36.160 Mm.

They were quite slick. 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:43.240 Yeah. 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:47.680 The feed lots in western Kansas used to once a 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:49.800 summer they have what they called a ball fry because 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:51.960 they had such a so many of them built up 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:56.520 over a year of castration, had a ball fry, and 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.760 that's everybody would come out. And that's how you go 0:15:58.840 --> 0:15:59.840 through them all. 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:04.440 Well, suppose it is putting them to use as opposed 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:09.200 to just throw them yea wasting uh. 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.000 Or juggling them like some sort of savage. 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.280 It was entertaining. So now we played tug war with 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:14.320 the intestines after. 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:17.000 It was a long day. Oh my lord. Yeah.

Uh So 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:46.760 this reminded me of a Saturday A Live bit from 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:50.640 Saturday Night The idea because these uh rocky Mountain oysters 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.760 you could get him with your cheeseburger where you got 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:56.520 fries or that or whatever, and they did you see 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:58.640 the shrimp tower skit on Saturday Night Live? 0:16:59.120 --> 0:16:59.520 I did not. 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:01.760 James Roland, That's what makes so funny.

Anyway, he called it 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:17.040 the thinking Man's mozzarella Stick, which I. 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:29.879 Thought very funny. That is dryly hilarious. That is funny. 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:31.320 I'll have to seek that out. 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:42.200 Strong and Giddy Show featuring our podcast One More Thing, 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:46.080 download it, subscribe to it wherever you like to get podcasts. 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.280 At one points, as a child, for some reason, I 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.399 thought it would be a good idea to stick my 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:52.600 finger in a pencil sharper. 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:54.240 I don't remember. 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.800 I don't remember how old I was, But anyway, I've 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:01.640 got one finger that the fingernail on top still has 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:05.040 white spots on there from that. They never went away. 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:08.159 The fingernail continues to grow. But the cuts that I 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:10.960 put deep into my fingernail, causing me great pain from 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.119 the finger from the pencil sharpener still on my fingernail. 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:18.480 Do you think you're like seven or seventeen.
