We've been vamping for five solid minutes. 66 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: Well about time to go to ads. Then talk about 67 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: the news here? What's up in in general? I mean, like, 68 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: not exclusively, is this jogging your memory at all? But 69 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: what we do here? What? What do we do? Who 70 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: are we talk about the news? Mostly? Okay? So the 71 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: Tonk and Gulf. A lot of people are debating whether 72 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: or not, you know, we should invade Vietnam, and I 73 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: don't think we have any choice, uh, Cody, Okay, I 74 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: would say we probably have a choice, but um that's 75 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: just me. I'm uh. I would say we definitely have 76 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: a choice. Well, and the choices do it? Yeah? Fast 77 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: forward a bit. There's some more current events that have 78 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: happened in between then and now. Cody explained to me 79 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: the Superman. I understand that he's by now, and some 80 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: people are very angry. People like me are going Superman Fox. No, 81 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:26,559 Speaker 1: they are rightfully angry. Can I read what Garrison wrote 82 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: for us? Because I think it's really good? Okay, the 83 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: new comic book Superman, Jonathan Kent, Clark and Lewis's son 84 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: loves to kiss boys. That's all he does now, fly 85 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: around and fight cute boys to kiss. That's the whole comic. 86 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: Because this is based and cool. It's obviously triggered the 87 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: little Gama snowflake cons who get grossed out by hot smooching. 88 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: And I thought that was just really good in dicinct 89 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: way of phrasing it. Yeah, come along, I'm so glad 90 00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: to see him. Um yeah, finding his own and that incredible. Yeah. Yeah, 91 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: Superman's by now. But also like Superman is Mark's son, 92 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: my question, being an alien, is Superman even by or 93 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: or do Superman might not have a sexuality that registers 94 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: on traditional human scales because he's not a human. Uh well, 95 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: I've got so many things to say, but I wish 96 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: I didn't have so much to say about bisexual Superman 97 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: um because Superman is an alien um and but he's 98 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: a male alien and he likes to women, and that's 99 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: important human women. Okay, he likes Um, yeah, he had 100 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: a son who's sexual. Actually, there's an exceptional exceptional science 101 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: fiction short story. Um, who is it by? It's it's 102 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: it's the one analyzing what super how Superman's come would 103 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: function and pointing out the fact that, based on the 104 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: other things we know about him, his semen would penetrate 105 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: low Us Lane fatally and then continue out on throughout 106 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: the universe like endlistening, definitely life. It's a fact from 107 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: all rats. It's called Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex. No, 108 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: it's by Larry Niven Google Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex. 109 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: It's an incredible tonest I might not see fiction writer. Um, 110 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: but that's so like, but that's all that's also so 111 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: that's like kind of beside the point. But it is 112 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: like because he's an alien and she's a human woman, 113 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: and do you have a problem with that? No? Okay, 114 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: all these all these dorks love Star Trek, all the 115 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: aliens and humans are fucking and sucking in that. Like 116 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: there's it's whatever, Um, And I wish we didn't have 117 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: to talk about this, but politicians are because that's just 118 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: where we're at. That's what we talk about now, that's 119 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: what people running for office and people in office complain about. Um. 120 00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: Wendy Rogers and Arizona State Republican who has uh spread 121 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: election disinformation in the past. Her tweet reads Superman loves 122 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: Louis Lane. By the way, did not did not correctly 123 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: say Lois Um.

Man bisexual d C 166 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: comic book toy that was announced today that that comes 167 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: after a gay Aquaman, a bisexual boy Wonder Robin, and 168 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 1: a gender fluid Loki. Call me when they have a 169 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: gender stable aisle with superheroes whose sexualities we know nothing about. 170 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: Why are they sexualizing superheroes? You know, I was a 171 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: Batman and a Superman, Spiderman kid. I love those heroes. 172 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: We just wanted them to get the bad guys, not 173 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: a venarial disease. Anyway, leave our comic book heroes alone. Lord, 174 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: we don't want to hear any more about what they do. Okay. 175 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: I have so much to say about this. This is fascinating. 176 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 1: It's unbelievable the worldview these people pretend to have so. 177 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: First of all, the idea that we have not ever 178 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 1: known the sexuality of any superhero is laughable. The idea 179 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: that we only want superheroes to fight crime is laughable. 180 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: Stories require an emotional human element. That's why every single 181 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: one of these fucking characters has a love interest. You know, 182 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: Superman loves Lois Lane. You know, spider Man wants to 183 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: marry Mary Jane, and they end up doing it, and 184 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: you cheer for them because they did it. They got 185 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: their romantic interest. It's the most famous scene from the 186 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: first spider Man movie. It has nothing to do with 187 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: Spider Man's powers and everything to do with him doing 188 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: that upside down kiss with What's that's what we want 189 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: out of these If it was just one fighting crime, 190 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: boring as fuck, what would be watching sexualized superhero Well, 191 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: actually we very much do. Two of the most famous 192 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: superheroes are Batman, a billionaire playboy, and iron Man, a 193 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: billionaire playboy. Their character description is that they fuck women constantly. 194 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 1: We aggressively know what their sexuality is. It is unbelievable. 195 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: Don't tell me that, like Catwoman isn't some sort of 196 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: fetish old Batman movie, cat Woman, absolutely Fox. They all 197 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: fuck and we all know who they fuck. So they're 198 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: not actually saying we don't want to know their sexuality. 199 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: They're saying we want them to be straight. We don't 200 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: want them to be gay. We don't want to see that. 201 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: We want them to be ignored. We want to put 202 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: them all away, associating um, you know, diseases. That's a 203 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: whole other Yeah, that's straight. People don't have straight sex 204 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: doesn't won't get me v D. Yeah, it's it's unbelievable. 205 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: Talk to talk to Nicki Minaj's cousin's friend about that 206 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: is remarkable because when you were first pitching this as 207 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: a topic, I was like, I don't think there's that 208 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: much meat there, but here we are. There's lots to 209 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: chew on. It's this one clip. This one clip like 210 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: says it all. It's what they're doing. One of the 211 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: things that pisses me off most about this, as someone 212 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: who doesn't even like comics as a general rule, Superman 213 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: has been a cobby, and he has been I'm fairly 214 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: certain a zombie. He has been a fascist. He has 215 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: been every single possible thing other than bisexual at this 216 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: point in the factions of Superman comics there and it's 217 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: a sons whatever, man, I don't give a ship. Comics 218 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: are ridiculous. And one of the things about comics is 219 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: that because the potential audience for them is so wide, 220 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: eventually every character will be almost every conceivable kind of thing, 221 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: because that's just what comics do, because you can only 222 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: tell so many stories about them punching people. So you 223 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: make Batman and I don't know a fucking hipster brewing 224 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: I p a is in Portland, Like everything gets done 225 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: in comics. It's fine there, comics they're called there's like, 226 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: what if is an entire genre comic book for these people. Well, 227 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: so everything that you guys are saying is, of course true. 228 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: I think that to me, what really the meat of 229 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: it that pisces me off so much about it is 230 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: this um, fake outrage and repeated framing of this is 231 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: the destruction of America, this old, hackneyed line of thinking 232 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: that people abandoned a long time ago. You know, in general, 233 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: you know, this this sexuality thing. But when literally things 234 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: are happening all around us that they these politicians have 235 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: the power to do something about and instead they're talking 236 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: about this and adding distraction after distraction so that people 237 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: aren't talking about what they aren't doing. Yeah, it's exactly, 238 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: it's a way, it's complete, it's a complete ways of time, 239 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: culture war bullshit. But also like it is this them 240 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: being openly homophobic while telling themselves that they're not. It's 241 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: that sort of thing like I don't care what happens 242 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: in your bedroom. I just don't want to know about it. 243 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: You do care, because when you do know about it, 244 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: you get mad. And if you knew if you see 245 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: Superman fuck a woman, if you see any the superheroes 246 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: fuck like in a straight way, they will not say 247 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: a single word because to them, that's not that's not 248 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: shoving it down their throat. That's just the way things are. 249 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: That's like the normal way. But they don't want to 250 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: see the other thing because if you if you say, 251 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: like Superman is bisexual, then like it I guess it, 252 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: Like the image pops into their head and like they're 253 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: just like you, um, and it's just it's like a 254 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: gross dishonest way of framing like I'm not I'm cool 255 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: with gay people. I just don't want to see it. 256 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: If you don't then you're then you are are You're 257 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: not actually cool with it because you don't want them 258 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: to exist. You don't want society to acknowledge the existence 259 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: of anybody other than Batman. Uh he sucks thousands of 260 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: women every year. Um, but that's not shoving sexuality down 261 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 1: your throat. That's just the way things are. And just 262 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 1: like again the idea that like we don't want we 263 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: want superheroes to just fight crime. We don't want them 264 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: to like talk to other people. Always full interesting part 265 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 1: of any super or a story is the fighting crime part, right, 266 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: Like it's like, okay, all the emotional stuff it leads 267 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: up to some punchy fight. Okay, great, but like if 268 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: you get rid of that, Yeah, that's the reason why 269 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: I don't know the Batman versus Alien thing was only 270 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: ever as short because that got everything, Like nobody wants 271 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: to see more of that ship. It's like why we don't, 272 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: like we don't do the Nolan type Batman movies anymore 273 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: because okay, we did it, we saw him fight the 274 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: fight crime. Let's do some weird ship. That's apparently what 275 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: people want. I don't want it because I don't watch 276 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: superhero movies. But like I know what people want because 277 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: I watch What's Successful now and that nobody wants Batman 278 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 1: stopping muggers. They want Batman shooting lasers at Superman. I 279 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: feel like there's lasers in the New One, the New 280 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: Extended Zach whatever his name is, Snyder, that make people happy. 281 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 1: And it seemed ridiculous, so whatever. Like I wonder if 282 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: Batman's behind Havana syndrome anyway, why not make Batman be 283 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: Havanna syndrome. Have Batman declare a one man more on 284 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: the entire international security apparatus. Let's do it. Also, I 285 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 1: love this, uh this this onion headline gets to another 286 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: point that I think it's really funny. Is a bisexual 287 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,719 Speaker 1: Superman ruins comic for fan who preferred smoldering, homoerotic undertones. 288 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, for years, like it's just it's just 289 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: it's just nonsense. I like, I like Spider Man uh 290 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: at best when he's just swinging through the city and 291 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: then uh swipping criminals and then going to the next 292 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: criminal to twip and then going to the next criminal 293 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: of twip.

I just want a Spider Man, who 295 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 1: before he does every power thing, you know, he shoots 296 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: his webs, he swings, he uses a super strength. I 297 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: want him to say I don't fuck. Yeah, that's what 298 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: they need to not feel challenged. Also, if like, if 299 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: there was a fucking superhero who is a sexual, they'd 300 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: be like, what, I don't But this is like, that's 301 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: that's what we want, right, isn't that what you want? 302 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 1: You want when we have like the fucking Vision is 303 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: what like a robot alien thing and we make him fun. 304 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: We had to sexualize.

Absolutely, we 309 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: should probably say something less ridiculous. Yeah, I'm sorry we 310 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 1: even had to talk about this.

So before we actually move on to 318 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 1: the actual news, I want to talk about what we 319 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: just did, which is talk about fucking moral panic over 320 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: bisexual Superman son, which is stupid and not news, and 321 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: we talked about it instead of talking about I don't know, 322 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 1: the Mexican government trying to declare war on the Zapatistas, 323 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: or a million other bishar al assad being brought back 324 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: into inter poll a billion different like things that are 325 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: life or death for huge numbers of people around the world. 326 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: And in part of it, it's because I didn't prepare 327 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: things on either of those because I was reading people 328 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: yell about Superman on Twitter, and that's that's an indictment 329 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: of me, for sure. But it's also like, it's why 330 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: these this stupid ship happens. It's the tactical reason behind 331 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: like pushing these kind of bullshit moral panic. I don't 332 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: even know exactly how these like bullshit culture war like nonsense, 333 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: and like I get that, I get why there's there's 334 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: feel for people to be like fetching about identity politics 335 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: stuff and they're wrong when they're saying, like, we shouldn't 336 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: be arguing about you know, trans rights or whatever because 337 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's I pol and we should be 338 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: talking about class like that's incorrect. But the reason that 339 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 1: that those arguments have a little bit of weight is 340 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,479 Speaker 1: that we are we are wasting our brains on this 341 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: fucking more on on on on culture war bullshit. And 342 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: this is culture war bullshit. Right, trans rights is not 343 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: culture war bullshit. That's life and death and incredibly important 344 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: arguments about like whether or not bisexual Superman is something 345 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: we're talking about at all at all. But you also, 346 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: it floods the zone and both the mix of people 347 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: laughing and like you now you have to deal with 348 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: the fact that like, okay, the whole right is using 349 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: this as an excuse to like attack this group of 350 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: people that or they're trying to get these people fired, 351 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: and like some sort of defense seems like it's necessary 352 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: and it's I hate it, um, but I don't entirely 353 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: know how to out maneuver it, especially since we just 354 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 1: talked about it for twenty four ula. Well, I think 355 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: that it's it's just being aware of that happening, and 356 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: like like even as and like, yes, we're having this conversation. Um, 357 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: there are plenty of things to be said about what's happening, 358 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: and it doesn't mean anything, it doesn't, but we are 359 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: buying into it. But it's happening. But at the same time, 360 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: we know that this is kind of like cover they're active. 361 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: They're using this to not talk about all the things 362 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: that are happening around us right now, or to cloud 363 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: the discourse so that there isn't enough room or oxygen 364 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: for the other stories that are vitally important to breathe. 365 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 1: And yeah, so good point that I am reiterating, and 366 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: like it's it's just frustrating because like yeah, like if 367 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: like they're they're doing it, they're doing it no matter what, Um, 368 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: even if we didn't do this segment, And like part 369 00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: of me is like we can just ignore it and 370 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: then make it. But well, right, because like it is 371 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: literally just like them like normalizing this this fun way 372 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: to be homophobic, and it's like, well, you've got to 373 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: at least mentioned that that's what they're doing. Um, so 374 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 1: that I don't know, maybe if you know, if your 375 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: uncle is complaining about bisexual Superman, you can have a 376 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: reasonable chat with him and point out how these people 377 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: were fucking wasting his time. I think that you also 378 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: include yeah, yes, exactly, like there's no point in having 379 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: this conversation when these other things are happening. And why 380 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,959 Speaker 1: why did Josh Mandel talk about how bisexual comic books 381 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:42,239 Speaker 1: are is destroying? Well, I know what does that mean 382 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: while also endorsing conspiracy theories about January six then and 383 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: conspiracies about George Sorrows and the deep State. Now, what's 384 00:24:52,720 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: actually destroying America? Superman son or Robert Anyway, we should 385 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: talk about other things now, sexual half alien, half human, 386 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: fucking god, talk about whatever you say, Thank God? All right? 387 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 1: Not um Southwest Airlines, not the region, the airline, not 388 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: the region, not the second best region of the United States, 389 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: for sure. So Southwest Airlines canceled more than three or 390 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: fifty flights on Monday following uh oh yep, this is 391 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: cancer culture. It's finest uh a weekend of major disruptions 392 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: that it blamed on bad weather and air traffic issues. 393 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: But it turns out it's it's much bigger than that. 394 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: The disruptions became because there's like a strike. People are 395 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: refusing to show up to work in protest of the 396 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: vaccination mandate. But it that's not quite the accurate story. Um. 397 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: Apparently that it's more about the union, the the what 398 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: do we call them, the gentleman that fly, the pilots, Yeah, 399 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: I can the gentle people, the gentle people that fly 400 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: the fly I call them sky pimps, the sky pimps. Yeah. 401 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: What is the word skypimps? Gender neutral? Anyone can be 402 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: a pimp. Yeah. The union I'm quoting here. The union 403 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 1: argued Southwest must negotiate over the issue because it could 404 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: involve sick leave or disability if pilots have a reaction 405 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: to the vaccine. You're not anti vaccine at all, but 406 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: but our pilots are extremely worried about how their medicals 407 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: are going to be handled if they are unable to 408 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: fly yep. Union president Casey Murray told the Associated Press. 409 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: Murray said pilots had not staged a stick out because 410 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: of the vaccine mandate. He instead blamed the chaos of 411 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: the past few days on Southwest's operation, which he said 412 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: has become brittle and cracks under the slightest pressure. Now 413 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: extremely reasonable as it sure does was based on what's 414 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: happening with like toilet paper yeah, and um, it's interesting 415 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 1: because I think that on the surface this story until 416 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: you actually read it. Well, go ahead, Well he's told 417 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: I heard that. It's they think the vaccine mandate is 418 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: Nazi stuff, and that's why they're they're they're gonna quit 419 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: their quitting because of the mandate, is what I heard from. 420 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: Pretty easy to um to believe that if you choose 421 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 1: to listen to Donald Trump Jr. Instead of freeing the 422 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: article or listening to what the pilots union, Well, why 423 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: would you listen to the people you're talking about when 424 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: that might make you unable to say all of the 425 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: things that you want to say about them? Um. There's 426 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: also unions at both Southwest and American have also argued 427 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: that management has been too slow to bring pilots back 428 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: from leaves of absence that the airlines persuaded them to 429 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: take during the pandemic, leaving them shorthanded. So it sounds 430 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: like a lot of chaos, um uh with the airlines themselves, 431 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: which is frankly not surprising. It sounds like the pandemic 432 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: caused a lot of chaos and a lot of industries 433 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: and uh, we really shouldn't have handed Yeah, why do 434 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: we decide to do that. Why did we We shouldn't have. 435 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: We really shouldn't have. Um. I tweeted kind of a 436 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: half baked thought that there's more reason, plenty of room 437 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: to expound upon. But like reading this, there were so 438 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: many I see lots of people have been posting about 439 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: frustration at flights being canceled and flights being delayed, and um, 440 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: with that is like we just mentioned a lot of 441 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: misunderstanding as to what it is that's actually happening. Um. 442 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: And it just struck me like, yes, traveling, taking a 443 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: day of travel and having my flight canceled, and maybe 444 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: I really need to get home, maybe I've had a 445 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: really long day. All of that stuff is true. But 446 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,719 Speaker 1: what's also true is that I support unions, and I 447 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: support support the right to make reasonable demands to protect themselves, 448 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: and protests are one of the only ways that we 449 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: can do it. U reason. Yeah, complaints are entirely reasonable. 450 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: Which is well, if we're made to do this, some 451 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: of us are going to miss work because some people 452 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: have bad reaction to the vaccine. We need to know 453 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: how you plan to handle this. Are you going to 454 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: like penalize us for this, because if so, we're not 455 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: okay with that, And that's not an unreasonable thing for 456 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: union to say, especially when working with an industry that 457 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: clearly has not done the best job responding to the 458 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: pandemic and probably really a lot of things. You know, 459 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: the airline industries, trash pilots generally are fine, uh fuck 460 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: all of this, except for the pilots having perfectly reasonable 461 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: concerns about you know stuff I like pilots. Um, yeah, 462 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's stewardess. Is points to a lot 463 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: of just like every you know, um, if you were 464 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: going to uh try to get everyone your company vaccinated 465 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: or like employees vaccinated, make sure that they do have 466 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: the time to recover from that, and all the things 467 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: that you know, everyone should have. Um, it's like the 468 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: kind of thing that we don't. We haven't every everything, 469 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: every like problem with this pandemic has like come like 470 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: happened before, like anybody really like thought about it or 471 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: planned about like thought ahead. Yeah, and it's again we 472 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: just shouldn't have had it. Actually, yeah, I think it 473 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: was a mistake. You know, we had a lot of 474 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: debates before this, should we have a pandemic? Should we not? Like, 475 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: because it's really a good idea, and you know, we 476 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,479 Speaker 1: tried it, and I think maybe we should not not 477 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: do it again. Yeah, yeah, I agree. Here here, what's 478 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: a bold stance. It's going to be controversial, but I 479 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: don't think the pandemic was a good idea.

Can I Karen my us 482 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: out of this situation? Let me take care of it. Yeah, 483 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: I'm I'm sending a series of threats to the CEO 484 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: of Southwest that that seems like the person to blame 485 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: an army of Karen's What would the would the term 486 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: the collective term be for that? Umatre mo? I don't 487 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: know about that. UM. Do we want to breaking news 488 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: of a quick update on what Dean Kane has to 489 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: say about bisexual Superman? Oh? Good, thank god, Cody, thank god, 490 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: get us right in there. Who is Dean KANEA can 491 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: we do a breaking news alert? UM played Superman UM 492 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: in the Adventures of Lewis and Clark or Lewis and 493 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: Clark the eventual Superman whatever the ship show is called Clark, 494 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: Louis and saman Yeah. He has a lot of opinions 495 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: about this he doesn't think. So they say it's a 496 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: bold new direction, and I say their bandwagoning. All right, 497 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: Robin just came out as by who's really shocked about 498 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: that one? Alright? Fair point. Uh, the new Captain America 499 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: is gay. My daughter in the c W CERI Supergirl 500 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: where I played the father was gay. So I don't 501 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: think it's bold or brave or some crazy new direction. 502 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: If they had done this twenty years ago, perhaps that 503 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: would be bold or brave. Um. That's so, like, here's 504 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: the thing. That's a fine point, I guess, because like, yeah, 505 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: it's not like it should just be a thing that happens. 506 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,959 Speaker 1: It's just another weird thing. He said this on Fox 507 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: and Friends and their fury it's about it. So actually 508 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: maybe there is some sort of like boldness to it 509 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: if it's making half of the country furious. Um. Brave 510 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: would be having him fighting for the rights of gay 511 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: people in Iran, where they'll throw you off a building 512 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,239 Speaker 1: for the offense of being Kay. They're talking about having 513 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: him fight climate change in the deportation of refugees, and 514 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: he's dating an activist, whatever activist is. Why don't they 515 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: have him fight the injustices that created the refugees whose 516 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: deportation he's protesting. That would be brave, I'd read that. 517 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: Or fighting for the rights of women to attend school 518 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: and have the ability to work and live, and boys 519 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: not to be raped by men under the new warm 520 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: and fuzzy Taliban, that would be brave. There's real evil 521 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: in this world today, real corruption, government overreach, plenty of 522 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: things to fight against, human trafficking, real nactual slavery going on. 523 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: It would be great to tackle those issues. So there's 524 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: a lot going on there. I would argue that if 525 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: Superman was fighting against um the causes of refugee crisis 526 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: is crises, he would be he would be furious, would 527 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: say it's anti American. Yeah, it would be. He would 528 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: be saying it's anti American, anti uh, you know, capitalism, 529 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: anti private businesses. Yeah, he was like, yeah, where you 530 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 1: Why do you think the refugees? I mean, I I agree. 531 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 1: I think it would be incredibly based. If we had 532 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: a Superman movie that opened with a montage of him 533 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: hunting down the family members of the the executives at 534 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: United Fruit and Union Carbide and brutally murdering them while 535 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: footage of the disasters they were responsible for plays in 536 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: the background. Um, and then the movie were to climax 537 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: with him tearing off Henry Kissinger's head and Henry Kissinger's 538 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: got a max suit for some reason. I think that 539 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:37,919 Speaker 1: would be rad as hell. I would watch the ship 540 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: out of that Superman movie. Yeah, we reveal these brainiac 541 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: or something like that exactly. But but again, like it's 542 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 1: just weird, like obfuscation and dismissal where it's like, no, 543 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,879 Speaker 1: I'd rather them do this. You would be so mad 544 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: if they did that, you'd be furious. If we are 545 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: sure back to Superman for I'm sorry, but uh, you 546 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 1: know Superman spoke up and I think it's a gonna yeah, 547 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:08,359 Speaker 1: I mean, there wasn't a breaking news. Uh, the we're 548 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: gonna take a break for some ads popping for more 549 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: together everything, So don't don't Cody. Did you want to 550 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 1: talk about Christen Cinema? Is she good? Now? What you're 551 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 1: pitching you're I mean, I know that she's teaching a 552 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: fundraising class and she's also like running the Boston Marathon 553 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: and doing all this stuff that is not her job. 554 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:55,320 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean she is teaching a class on fundraising. Um, 555 00:35:55,680 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: and uh, maybe that's an issue that maybe maybe like 556 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: maybe a sitting senator and like this is the thing 557 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: was like, Okay, if she was a senator years ago 558 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, I'm gonna teach you how fucking 559 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: how the fucking do it? Um, that would be not 560 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: still like perpetuating the system that we don't want, but 561 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 1: like that wouldn't be that would be like a little 562 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: more acceptable because she's not literally in office. What is she? 563 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 1: Who is she teaching it too, students? And uh Arizona 564 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: I believes Arizona State, Arizona State. Hold on, Oh the 565 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,800 Speaker 1: college in which she hid in the bathrooms? Right? Yeah? 566 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: Um yeah, it was like right, I mean like she 567 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: she left the class on fundraising to go hide in 568 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 1: the bathroom. Um. And it's not even like you know, 569 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: go ahead do it, but it's just a very um 570 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:58,720 Speaker 1: it just shows you exactly who she is. And um, 571 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 1: it's it's almost believable, like if you wrote this into 572 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: a movie, be like, well that's that's too far. That's 573 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 1: I mean, they're not she's not literally going to be right, 574 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 1: teaching a class on fundraising, um, and like how to 575 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: get donations. Um. The outline identifies key course concepts as 576 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 1: corporate giving, political strategy, influence and power. Oh Man teaching 577 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 1: this class for cinema, did not respond. Um, yeah, it's 578 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 1: a it's just a it's not great, it's not correct, 579 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,320 Speaker 1: but she's gonna get her way. Probably. Yeah, we're terrible 580 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 1: people nearly always do. Except she doesn't care about being reelected. 581 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 1: Did we talk about that on this show. Probably? I 582 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 1: mean what she wants is just more money, So I 583 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: guess she's doing it by teaching. Well, I mean it 584 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: doesn't seem like she's interested in being reelected. Well, no, 585 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,479 Speaker 1: she wants a book deal. She wants like whatever is next. 586 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: She's done with politics. It's time for her to get 587 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: rich and to speak the things that she is making 588 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: more inevitable for the rest of us. And like she 589 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: can't even help her get into office. Yeah, you can't. Look, 590 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 1: the problem is the electoral system is fundamentally flawed, and 591 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: the only people who run for public office are not 592 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: good people of them, even the ones you like, they're 593 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: all bad. If they are when they get started, they 594 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,919 Speaker 1: become it. And yes, exactly, it eats you up. Money 595 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 1: eats you up. It changes the way your brain works. Um, 596 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 1: And like there's just an aspect of like because the 597 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: only way really out of this kind of thing, Like, Okay, 598 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,919 Speaker 1: she's now she's teaching his class and fundraising, which means 599 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 1: she is not only perpetuating the system, but she's basically 600 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: saying that it's good. Uh, and here's how to do it. 601 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: Like here, it's good, and here's how to do it. 602 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,360 Speaker 1: Because the way to get out of it is to 603 00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 1: have people who are elected sacrifice their positions of power. 604 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 1: But like, for example, like this is a small example, 605 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: but like Ted Cruz uh has written an amendment from 606 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 1: years ago. He doesn't talk about it because doesn't want 607 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: to actually do it. Where it has term limits. It's 608 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 1: term limits on Congress. But in the bill, in the amendment, 609 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: he points out that if you are in Congress at 610 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 1: the time that this passes, you don't count. So it 611 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,399 Speaker 1: limits terms to two terms. But if you're if you've 612 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: been senator for five five terms, you still get two more. Uh. 613 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: Because they're not willing to sacrifice their position at the time. 614 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: It's all ahead of time, you can't. Like we've so 615 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: we've joked about like yeah, uh, it would be amazing 616 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 1: a president becomes the president. No more presidents. I'm the 617 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,280 Speaker 1: last one. No more. Um, you have to have people 618 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,280 Speaker 1: in power go We're not like making laws to restrict 619 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: their own power and their own um access to funds 620 00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 1: and influence. And there's there's nobody really uh fighting for 621 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: like publicly funded elections or or you know, third party 622 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 1: because you if you're in the system, you can't because 623 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: it means you have to give something up. Um M. 624 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 1: And I don't know, maybe Yank's third party will help, 625 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: maybe that you you always bring the yucks. Very nervous 626 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: for mid term and I mean, yeah, I just was looking. 627 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 1: Biden's poll numbers are good trash and uh, it's comparable. 628 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 1: It is it should but I mean, I I do 629 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 1: think that both Obama and Clinton UM had similar We 630 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,839 Speaker 1: just don't like politicians. We just don't like them. Well. 631 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: And yeah, like Democrats for a long time haven't really 632 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,759 Speaker 1: delivered the goods and I've been disappointing. Yeah. I can't 633 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 1: think of a single good they've ever delivered. Um. You know, 634 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: Obamacare is a step in the right direction here, but 635 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 1: all the things you can be that can be said 636 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 1: about that, um, And it does feel I mean, I 637 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:15,400 Speaker 1: know we talked about this. Yeah, what's gonna happen? I 638 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 1: don't want to make predictions about Donald Trump, but if 639 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 1: he's alive, I bet he's running um, you know, and 640 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,320 Speaker 1: who knows, who knows, who knows. I'm just saying that, Gosh, 641 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:28,920 Speaker 1: I don't even know how. I'm just saying that all 642 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 1: this ship is happening around us, and our election integrity 643 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 1: is under threat, and we're just in this weird limbo period. 644 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,839 Speaker 1: It feels like watching the people we elected not do shit, 645 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 1: you know, and all these other oppressed chess pieces lining 646 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:51,839 Speaker 1: up to be just year after year of worst year ever. 647 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,279 Speaker 1: That's fun. I'm glad I said all that. You got 648 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,279 Speaker 1: it off my chest. I wish I had anything like 649 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 1: positive of at the moment, like there is. Yeah, I 650 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,839 Speaker 1: don't know. It varies with me from day to day, 651 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 1: like whether or not. Because the upshot of this is that, well, 652 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: most Americans hate Trump and most Americans hate Biden. Maybe 653 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 1: most Americans will eventually come to realize this is all trashed, 654 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 1: funck this system, and mobilize in order to replace it 655 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,359 Speaker 1: with something at least marginally better. Downside is no some 656 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 1: guy who just hasn't ruined his reputation yet will come 657 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 1: in and turn out to be a fascist and give 658 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 1: and learn from this and learn better. Um, but I 659 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:42,800 Speaker 1: mean even yeah, I mean to see the way that Republicans, 660 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,759 Speaker 1: even if there aren't there's plenty of people that are 661 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,760 Speaker 1: anti Trump within the party, but still a party in general, 662 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 1: leans in his direction. You know, Chuck Grassley or whatever 663 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:58,360 Speaker 1: his name is. Oh yeah, you just did you guys 664 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: see his acceptance of Trump's endorsement. It was basically like 665 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,799 Speaker 1: he basically said, I was born at night, but I 666 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,440 Speaker 1: wasn't born last night. I'd be a fool not to 667 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 1: accept this nomination. And it's like he just stood up 668 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 1: there and said, like, yep, I'm selling my soul. No exactly, 669 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 1: they can only acknowledge. Sorry. Yeah, And like Steve Bannon's 670 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 1: back doing his bullshit tinkering around, and it feels very 671 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:31,040 Speaker 1: much like they're going to focus on the anyway. It 672 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 1: doesn't matter we've all said any things. They know that, uh, 673 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 1: Trump is the only way forward for them. Yeah, right 674 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 1: to a fascist and the only answer now is more fascism, 675 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,400 Speaker 1: like you have you know, like even Trump is like 676 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: like realizes like it's all it's all just sort of 677 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,879 Speaker 1: like this monster that was created and now you can't 678 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 1: contain it. They're all those clips. Whenever Trump says get 679 00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 1: the vaccine, he gets booed because, uh everything. We didn't 680 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 1: even talk about the Ashley Babbitt video. Oh god, I 681 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: mean we are, of course referring to the video the 682 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: President put out basically, you know, calling her a martyr, 683 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,240 Speaker 1: you know, and saying we're still looking just as thinking, 684 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:22,439 Speaker 1: you know, well, their horse vesseling her like as hard 685 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 1: as they possibly can. They're they're turning her into a 686 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,239 Speaker 1: martyr so that they can justify the mass murder of 687 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,960 Speaker 1: their enemies. Uh it's going to be great. Yeah, Um, 688 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 1: it's yeah, they they It's not the same situation, but 689 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 1: the same with Rittenhouse, where it's like, no, he's our 690 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,919 Speaker 1: paper saint of how to deal with these protects. Mean, yeah, 691 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:45,279 Speaker 1: it's a very similar situation. Anyway. Cool, cool, we got there. 692 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:50,839 Speaker 1: Well you should probably to a close. But before we 693 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 1: go out, because this has been a little bit of 694 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,279 Speaker 1: a bummer, I want to read an exerpt from the 695 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,240 Speaker 1: Larry Niven short story Man of Steel, Woman of kleenex 696 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:05,720 Speaker 1: Can I do that? Of course? May breaking is um, yeah, okay, 697 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 1: consider the driving urge between a man and a woman. 698 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 1: The monomaniacal urge to achieve greater and greater penetration. Remember 699 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,359 Speaker 1: also that we are dealing with Kryptonian muscles. Superman would 700 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 1: literally crush Lois Lane's body in his arms, while simultaneously 701 00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,360 Speaker 1: ripping her open to crop from crotch to sternham gutting 702 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,000 Speaker 1: her like a trout. Lastly, he'd blow off the top 703 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,320 Speaker 1: of her head. Ejaculation of semen is entirely involuntary in 704 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 1: the human male and in all other forms of terrestrial life. 705 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 1: It would be unreasonable to assume otherwise for a Kryptonian, 706 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,200 Speaker 1: but with Kryptonian muscles behind it, Kelel Seman would emerge 707 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,920 Speaker 1: with the muscle velocity of a machine gun bullet. In 708 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 1: the view of the foregoing normal sex is impossible between 709 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:48,400 Speaker 1: Lois Lane and Superman. Artificial insemination may give us better results. First, 710 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 1: we must collect the semen. The globules will emerge at 711 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:55,479 Speaker 1: transonic speeds. Superman must first ejaculate, then fly frantically after 712 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,440 Speaker 1: the stuff to catch it in a test tube. We 713 00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,759 Speaker 1: assume that he is on the moon, both for privacy 714 00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 1: and to prevent the semen from exploding into vapor on 715 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 1: hitting the air. At such speeds, he can catch the semen, 716 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,720 Speaker 1: of course before it evaporates in a vacuum. He's faster 717 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,719 Speaker 1: than a speeding bullet. But can he keep it? All 718 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,600 Speaker 1: known forms of Kryptonian life have superpowers. The same must 719 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 1: hold true true of living Kryptonian sperm. We may reasonably 720 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 1: assume that Kryptonian sperm are vulnerable only to starvation into 721 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 1: green kryptonide, that they can travel with equal ease through water, air, vacuum, glass, brick, 722 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 1: boiling steel, solid steel, liquid, helium, or the core of 723 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,280 Speaker 1: a star, and that they are capable of translate velocity 724 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:36,479 Speaker 1: sexual fascinate kind of a test tube will hold such 725 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:42,800 Speaker 1: beast east. It goes on like this, it's incredible short story? 726 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:45,960 Speaker 1: Is that even like a short story? Or is just 727 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 1: like it's just pages of Larry Niven speculating about Superman's come. 728 00:46:55,080 --> 00:47:00,319 Speaker 1: What a little science nerd he is? Any you well, 729 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,600 Speaker 1: and thank you for ending on that um on that note, 730 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 1: and you know what, that's a that's a sincere thank 731 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:10,440 Speaker 1: you appreciate it.
