WEBVTT - It Got My Stem's Attention 0:00:01.900 --> 0:00:05.750 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:05.790 --> 0:00:10.810 George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong 0:00:10.890 --> 0:00:17.280 and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.739 --> 0:00:26.910 Sarkeesian and Rowe making headlines with the head coach appearing 0:00:26.950 --> 0:00:29.750 to blow her off during a post-game interview. That interview 0:00:29.790 --> 0:00:33.330 moment going viral on social media, then sparking a fake 0:00:33.470 --> 0:00:37.700 AI video showing Sarkeesian backhanding Rowe, knocking her to the ground. 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:44.709 Manning apologizing on Instagram, saying, I specifically want to apologize 0:00:44.750 --> 0:00:46.950 to Holly Rowe for what she has personally had to 0:00:47.010 --> 0:00:49.409 deal with because of my comments, adding, I have a 0:00:49.450 --> 0:00:52.930 ton of respect for her and appreciate her showing me grace. 0:00:52.850 --> 0:00:56.340 In this moment. Arch, Arch, Arch, Arch, Arch, don't ever 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.760 apologize to these people. Don't. 0:00:58.820 --> 0:01:01.240 No, he has to. You know, I wish we had 0:01:01.260 --> 0:01:04.800 the audio of what he said. We have it. 0:01:04.819 --> 0:01:06.920 We have it. Oh, we do? Wonderful. Here we go. Okay. 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:12.260 You all seen that one? That's a good one. 0:01:12.459 --> 0:01:17.910 Of him slapping Holly Rogue? 0:01:17.990 --> 0:01:22.550 A college kid laughed at a meme. Oh, my God. 0:01:23.030 --> 0:01:26.669 An AI video of somebody he knows doing something he 0:01:26.709 --> 0:01:29.990 would never, ever do in real life. And the 20-year-old 0:01:30.050 --> 0:01:33.530 man or whatever this kid is, whatever his age is, he. 0:01:33.470 --> 0:01:35.310 Laughed and said, oh, that's a good one. 0:01:36.180 --> 0:01:38.120 And now we all have to come out with our 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:39.780 statements that violence against. 0:01:39.620 --> 0:01:43.220 Women is abhorrent, which, of course, it is. Blah, blah, blah. See, 0:01:43.260 --> 0:01:46.700 I would be a bad public relations manager because I 0:01:46.750 --> 0:01:50.010 would dig in. I would say, no, we're not apologizing 0:01:50.070 --> 0:01:50.390 for this. 0:01:52.350 --> 0:01:52.730 I laughed. 0:01:52.770 --> 0:01:55.270 It didn't mean anything. Of course, I don't promote violence. 0:01:55.350 --> 0:01:58.470 It's funny because it's over the top. That's why it's funny. 0:01:58.490 --> 0:02:00.470 It's funny because nobody would ever do that. That's what 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.640 people are laughing about. It's so outlandish. That's the point 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:08.429 of the joke. Right, right. And I'd forgotten about it 0:02:08.450 --> 0:02:10.290 until this. Yes, Katie, you have an opinion on this? 0:02:10.630 --> 0:02:12.370 Oh, no, I thought the video was hilarious, and I 0:02:12.389 --> 0:02:14.370 bet you there are other chicks that thought it was funny, too. 0:02:14.389 --> 0:02:17.270 You know who laughed at it? Practically everybody who saw it. Yeah, 0:02:17.389 --> 0:02:19.550 come on. And him laughing at it, a college kid, 0:02:19.730 --> 0:02:22.850 of all things, laughing at it. Official on-air meeting. 0:02:23.230 --> 0:02:25.010 We've got to come up with, and I know we 0:02:25.050 --> 0:02:27.510 have it somewhere in the archives, the Ricky Gervais bit 0:02:27.610 --> 0:02:31.010 about why people laugh at things they find abhorrent, what's 0:02:31.030 --> 0:02:37.200 going on psychologically. And this pretense that the moral would 0:02:37.220 --> 0:02:39.860 be moral superiors use that he laughed. 0:02:39.900 --> 0:02:41.880 Therefore, he thought it was funny. Therefore, he is a 0:02:41.900 --> 0:02:42.500 bad person. 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:44.820 And as a good person, I am now above him 0:02:44.860 --> 0:02:46.660 and will lecture him at length and make him grovel 0:02:46.690 --> 0:02:48.690 at my feet because that's what's going on here. 0:02:48.990 --> 0:02:52.190 And to make him say the words, I apologize for 0:02:52.250 --> 0:02:55.180 all the hurt and pain that I've caused. no hurt 0:02:55.300 --> 0:02:58.760 and pain was received by that reporter. 0:02:59.500 --> 0:03:00.080 Good Lord. 0:03:00.340 --> 0:03:04.260 And then I liked this angle particularly because it's one 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.959 of my favorite Saturday night live bits of all time. Hey, 0:03:07.020 --> 0:03:10.359 his uncle Peyton Manning, remember when they had that pit 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.820 for the United way where he was a quarterback with 0:03:12.860 --> 0:03:14.520 a bunch of little kids out in a field and 0:03:14.540 --> 0:03:16.900 he was drilling them in the face with a football 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.360 and say, come on, catch the ball. What do you 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:24.000 want to lose? I mean, it was just hilarious. Because 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.410 it was so outrageous and out of character. Right. 0:03:27.430 --> 0:03:27.830 Duh. 0:03:28.110 --> 0:03:30.929 But, Jack, that attitude doesn't allow you to come off 0:03:30.990 --> 0:03:32.450 as the moral paragon. 0:03:32.470 --> 0:03:34.570 That was one of the funniest things, Sarah. The fact 0:03:34.610 --> 0:03:37.500 that Peyton Manning agreed to do that is so funny. 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.260 So funny. Stuck the kid in the outhouse. 0:03:40.540 --> 0:03:41.080 I remember that. 0:03:41.100 --> 0:03:42.720 Yeah, he put the kid in the outhouse and made 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:46.140 him stay in there because he couldn't catch the ball. 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.970 He's firing just BBs across the field at these little kids. 0:03:50.030 --> 0:03:51.710 And then he hits on a woman in the park 0:03:51.750 --> 0:03:56.710 in front of the kids. Hi, I'm Peyton. So good. 0:03:56.790 --> 0:03:59.180 Two more quick football things before we get serious about 0:03:59.220 --> 0:03:59.920 this sort of thing. 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.780 A quick note, and this will factor into our McLemore, 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.400 Ed Sheeran, Palestinian discussion at the bottom of the hour. 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:09.180 And I just re-came across this. 0:04:09.220 --> 0:04:12.380 Kevin Williamson was writing about something else, but when Cicero 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.150 said this, and my Latin pronunciation is non-existent, and I 0:04:15.230 --> 0:04:20.570 never took it, but esse quam videre, to be rather 0:04:20.630 --> 0:04:21.469 than to seem. 0:04:21.490 --> 0:04:21.570 Yeah. 0:04:22.650 --> 0:04:26.810 We have such a online look-at-me, look-at-me, look-at-me society. Everybody's 0:04:26.850 --> 0:04:30.570 crafted their lives around what they seem to be. And 0:04:30.589 --> 0:04:32.589 nobody bothers being whatever. 0:04:32.630 --> 0:04:37.040 It doesn't matter. Oh, God. That whole tiresome, somebody makes 0:04:37.100 --> 0:04:40.020 a joke about something, you think it's funny. Oh, so 0:04:40.060 --> 0:04:43.160 you think violence against women is funny. You think hitting 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.620 a woman is funny. Oh, my God. That's such an 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:47.260 easy thing to do. 0:04:47.290 --> 0:04:47.370 Yeah. 0:04:48.589 --> 0:04:52.990 Oh, that's so weak. Yeah. Couple things. Speaking of the Mannings, 0:04:53.430 --> 0:04:55.690 I never watched the Manning cast. I don't know if 0:04:55.710 --> 0:04:58.289 you all know this exists, but Peyton and his brother 0:04:58.450 --> 0:05:02.390 Eli both won two Super Bowls. They sit there in 0:05:02.420 --> 0:05:04.790 their living rooms and watch the game and comment on it. 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.560 And you can watch it. Anyway, so I was watching 0:05:07.900 --> 0:05:10.440 a little bit of that yesterday. Actually, it was a 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:14.690 tweet that said, If you think you understand what's going 0:05:14.770 --> 0:05:17.770 on in the game, listen to this. And it was 0:05:17.910 --> 0:05:21.650 an interception that Bo Nix threw against the Chiefs on 0:05:21.690 --> 0:05:26.360 Monday Night Football. And Peyton and Eli explaining what happened there, 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:32.440 it almost makes me embarrassed to ever comment on anything 0:05:32.500 --> 0:05:33.440 that ever happens. 0:05:33.460 --> 0:05:36.550 Yeah, I love the Manning cast. I watch it more 0:05:36.610 --> 0:05:38.870 than I watch Monday Night Football, which is what they're 0:05:38.990 --> 0:05:43.800 commenting on. And it's absolutely showed me how little I 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:47.000 know about the NFL, which is an incredibly complex game. 0:05:47.140 --> 0:05:49.789 Especially for the quarterback. And so if you're yelling, what'd 0:05:49.810 --> 0:05:54.150 you do that for? Actually, there's a pretty funny clip 0:05:54.210 --> 0:05:56.910 of Bo Nix in the post-game conference. He had to 0:05:56.950 --> 0:05:59.040 be feeling pretty bad because they had a really good 0:05:59.060 --> 0:06:00.860 team and they got embarrassed on Monday Night Football. But 0:06:02.140 --> 0:06:04.980 explain the interception. I dropped back and I threw it 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:10.060 to the other team. Oh, I love him. Yeah, I'm 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:11.880 a fan. He was not in a mood for that 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.279 sort of thing. This is not sports, but this is funny. 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:16.680 So on Monday Night Football, of course, Taylor Swift's up 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.200 there in the suite doing her thing with some other celebrities, 0:06:19.260 --> 0:06:21.500 I guess, because it was Monday Night Football. Tom Cruise 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.480 is sitting there next to Taylor Swift and having long 0:06:24.540 --> 0:06:27.980 conversations with her about something. But anyway, the meme going 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.580 around on Twitter was a picture of Tom Cruise sitting 0:06:30.900 --> 0:06:34.260 Just talking endlessly. And Taylor Swift nodding her head kind 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:39.810 of with that, uh-huh, uh-huh, you know, okay, sure. And 0:06:39.830 --> 0:06:43.550 Tom Cruise, according to this meme, was saying, Xenu was 0:06:43.589 --> 0:06:46.950 an alien dictator from 75 million years ago who transported 0:06:47.010 --> 0:06:49.950 billions of beings to Earth, placed them around volcanoes, and 0:06:49.990 --> 0:06:52.980 killed them with hydrogen bombs. Anyway, I think you and 0:06:53.010 --> 0:07:00.120 Travis would be great members. Scientology pitch. Really funny. That 0:07:00.150 --> 0:07:05.220 is really funny. Tried to recruit Taylor and Travis to Scientology, 0:07:05.420 --> 0:07:07.560 which he may have done. Yeah, yeah. 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.850 He's one of the biggest stars on the planet, but 0:07:09.930 --> 0:07:13.790 I've bored attractive women before. And I could see the 0:07:13.810 --> 0:07:15.930 look on her face was, you know, everybody in the 0:07:16.010 --> 0:07:18.290 world wants to talk to me, and you're talking to 0:07:18.310 --> 0:07:20.100 me too much, and it's getting boring. 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:21.780 And I kind of want to watch my husband play. 0:07:22.350 --> 0:07:25.010 Yeah, so shut up, would you? And you're shorter than 0:07:25.030 --> 0:07:27.150 you look on screen. Everybody says that, I know, but 0:07:27.170 --> 0:07:27.410 you are. 0:07:27.590 --> 0:07:29.870 I'm significantly taller than you, which is interesting. 0:07:30.650 --> 0:07:33.050 Speaking of attractive women, and the next person to send a, 0:07:33.130 --> 0:07:35.540 I don't think she's hot at all, email, oh, my God, 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:36.000 grow up. 0:07:36.780 --> 0:07:41.660 Sidney Sweeney derangement syndrome. Oh. It's become a thing. Is 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.739 your goal to just make me tired today? Yes, yes. 0:07:44.820 --> 0:07:48.560 I find you too energetic today. So I'm really trying 0:07:48.580 --> 0:07:50.150 to bring you down. How am I doing? 0:07:50.650 --> 0:07:59.570 I have a four-hour, minimum three-hour, possibly four-hour Zoom lawyer 0:07:59.630 --> 0:08:05.920 call today with multiple lawyers that I just can't shake. 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.520 The fact that I have to do this this afternoon. 0:08:10.010 --> 0:08:13.250 If I were not in your position of having two 0:08:13.350 --> 0:08:17.090 children to raise, I would seriously consider hurling myself off 0:08:17.110 --> 0:08:17.650 a cliff. 0:08:20.230 --> 0:08:23.090 I mean, the cost of it alone, let alone trying 0:08:23.110 --> 0:08:26.540 to make decisions, each one of them being very expensive. 0:08:27.810 --> 0:08:28.180 Oh, boy. 0:08:29.050 --> 0:08:31.470 Speaking of expensive, so is your car. And your car 0:08:31.510 --> 0:08:33.110 can be a spy. 0:08:33.350 --> 0:08:34.530 True story. True story. 0:08:34.750 --> 0:08:37.870 Guy's car insurance jumped over 20%. Had no accidents, no tickets. 0:08:38.130 --> 0:08:40.390 So he started digging into it to find out who 0:08:40.429 --> 0:08:42.870 reported him. It was his own damn car. Every hard break, 0:08:42.929 --> 0:08:46.050 every fast merge, every late night taco run. His automaker 0:08:46.110 --> 0:08:48.370 logged it all, sold it to a data broker, and 0:08:48.390 --> 0:08:50.470 the broker sold it to his insurance company. 0:08:50.730 --> 0:08:54.510 He requested his file. It was hundreds of pages. So 0:08:54.570 --> 0:08:59.099 General Motors just agreed to pay $ 12. 75 million to the 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.820 state of California over this exact sort of thing. The 0:09:01.860 --> 0:09:04.940 lesson is data brokers aren't only selling your address anymore. 0:09:05.340 --> 0:09:07.720 They're selling your habits to anyone who wants to buy them. 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:09.660 That's why we use Incogni. 0:09:09.700 --> 0:09:11.949 It's the online service that forces data brokers and people 0:09:11.970 --> 0:09:13.900 search sites to delete your information. 0:09:14.210 --> 0:09:17.610 They've scrubbed both of us from hundreds of sites.

Your car should take you places, 0:09:31.850 --> 0:09:32.990 not take you for a ride. 0:09:33.290 --> 0:09:36.290 I get it. So we got a bunch of interesting 0:09:36.330 --> 0:09:39.970 things to get into, a little new developments around the 0:09:40.010 --> 0:09:43.490 whole AI thing. The Democrats just pulled out a stunt 0:09:43.610 --> 0:09:47.260 in the House signing on to some proposed legislation around 0:09:47.380 --> 0:09:52.500 AI that I find hilariously ineffective, but we'll get a 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:53.040 lot of attention. 0:09:53.059 --> 0:09:56.660 It is now an apropos time to listen to the 0:09:56.800 --> 0:10:02.910 allegedly raunchy pumpkin. Should we do that after the pause? 0:10:04.700 --> 0:10:08.100 Set up the pumpkin thing again? Where's the pumpkin? Pumpkins 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:09.880 don't talk. Not generally. 0:10:10.140 --> 0:10:12.460 This is a TikTok video, and basically the deal is 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:16.150 it's a mother, and she's This is just a recording 0:10:16.170 --> 0:10:18.570 of the doll, but the whole point is to upset 0:10:18.630 --> 0:10:20.620 parents saying, how could this toy come out with this song? 0:10:20.630 --> 0:10:25.140 Latest in a long line of alleged obscenities or sexual 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:25.840 commands by various toys. 0:10:25.860 --> 0:10:28.480 Yeah, there's no obscenities. Yes, okay. All right, very good. 0:10:28.780 --> 0:10:33.280 Let's hear the Jabberin' Jack children's pumpkin toy. Who wants 0:10:33.300 --> 0:10:37.469 to be? I have a kiss for you, and it 0:10:37.530 --> 0:10:39.810 tastes like pumpkin pie. 0:10:39.890 --> 0:10:48.390 We'll be wicked for one night, morbid and nefarious. And 0:10:48.429 --> 0:10:56.870 when the sun goes down, the morning, it will just be. 0:10:58.910 --> 0:10:59.230 Us. 0:10:59.309 --> 0:11:01.750 How would you like to scream all night? What? 0:11:04.540 --> 0:11:06.380 What? 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:20.030 What the hell? That sounds good. So that's pretty funny 0:11:20.610 --> 0:11:25.750 if it's for adults. Pretty funny. What's the intended market 0:11:25.809 --> 0:11:28.250 for it? Is it actually a children's toy? Well, they 0:11:28.270 --> 0:11:30.510 did change it. I guess that was an earlier version, 0:11:30.550 --> 0:11:32.490 and it has been changed since. Well, for adults, it's 0:11:32.530 --> 0:11:34.830 perfectly fine and kind of funny. And I can see 0:11:34.850 --> 0:11:37.070 that giving to a girlfriend. 0:11:37.450 --> 0:11:40.650 Yeah, this could easily be a piece of Halloween decoration 0:11:41.030 --> 0:11:44.189 in an adult's house. Like, this isn't just marketed for kids. 0:11:44.309 --> 0:11:47.110 But it's not for kids. No. I'm going to fill 0:11:47.130 --> 0:11:51.770 you with my pumpkin pie or whatever. The seeds. 0:11:52.250 --> 0:11:57.440 I think the mom bought this for her kids. But 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.120 it isn't being marketed as such. 0:11:59.320 --> 0:11:59.600 Right. 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.140 Okay. So any outrage is feigned. 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:07.829 But just before you buy the Jabber and Jack pumpkin, don't. 0:12:07.730 --> 0:12:09.089 Do it for your kids. We're going to wake up. 0:12:09.090 --> 0:12:13.089 It's going to slow jam you right into bed. We're 0:12:13.110 --> 0:12:15.550 going to wake up alone. Hide your kids. Hide your wife. Yeah, 0:12:15.570 --> 0:12:20.600 no kidding. That is one damn sexy pumpkin. Oh, it is. 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:22.939 Kind of turned me on. Yeah, yeah. 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:27.320 Speaking of sexy pumpkins, Sidney Sweeney derangement syndrome coming up 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:28.140 in a moment or two. 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.580 Got my stem's attention. Tell you that. Oh, no, no. 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.220 Too much. You never know when to stop. I don't. Okay, 0:12:34.300 --> 0:12:37.900 all that on the way. Stay here. Armstrong and Getty. 0:12:40.100 --> 0:12:43.520 I think Caitlin Flanagan is right. There's such a thing 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:48.880 as Sidney Sweeney derangement syndrome. If you don't know who 0:12:48.940 --> 0:12:51.000 she is, I mean, well, good. 0:12:51.100 --> 0:12:57.120 Congratulations. Beautiful blonde woman, impossibly built. One of a million. 0:12:57.140 --> 0:12:59.540 There are a dime a dozen, though. How did she 0:12:59.660 --> 0:13:02.280 elevate herself to the, I'm the one? 0:13:02.300 --> 0:13:04.040 I don't know. 0:13:04.100 --> 0:13:05.020 She's extra sexy. 0:13:05.059 --> 0:13:05.360 I don't know. 0:13:05.420 --> 0:13:06.740 Nobody can reason this stuff out. 0:13:07.230 --> 0:13:08.950 Although, I tell you what, I'm in love with Caitlin 0:13:08.970 --> 0:13:13.069 Flanagan's intellect, and it occurs to me I'm half a polygamist. Now, 0:13:13.150 --> 0:13:15.449 I love my wife, and I'm faithful to her, but 0:13:15.770 --> 0:13:21.660 I'm in love with Caitlin Flanagan. Kim Strassel, Peggy Noonan, 0:13:22.110 --> 0:13:24.829 and I'm missing one, which is going to be really 0:13:24.890 --> 0:13:27.850 embarrassing when I see her again. Anyway, we have so 0:13:27.890 --> 0:13:30.370 many great women thinkers that are breaking through, and I 0:13:30.390 --> 0:13:30.910 appreciate that. 0:13:31.090 --> 0:13:33.200 I know. It's funny you bring that up. I saw 0:13:33.250 --> 0:13:35.580 some woman on some YouTube channel the other day who 0:13:35.620 --> 0:13:37.760 was some sort of AI expert talking about all this 0:13:37.780 --> 0:13:38.420 stuff recently. 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:38.660 Yeah. 0:13:39.190 --> 0:13:42.170 And that was so attractive to me, the fact she 0:13:42.190 --> 0:13:46.320 was attractive and an AI genius. Megan McArdle, another home 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:50.500 run hitter, lover. So much more than Cindy Sweeney doing 0:13:50.540 --> 0:13:52.500 her thing. And I don't know how smart she is 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.140 or whatever, but whatever. 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.780 But see, it's not about her at all. It's about 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.250 the derangement syndrome. 0:13:58.300 --> 0:13:58.670 I love this. 0:13:58.710 --> 0:14:02.350 Caitlin Flanagan writes, Yesterday morning in Times Square, I saw 0:14:02.370 --> 0:14:04.770 a suited man come close to death because his eyes 0:14:04.809 --> 0:14:11.240 were transfixed on Sidney Sweeney's bare ass. And she tells 0:14:11.340 --> 0:14:14.280 a story, but that's just actually the introduction to the 0:14:15.220 --> 0:14:22.760 derangement syndrome story. And it's about this ad for one 0:14:22.780 --> 0:14:27.420 of your sports betting dealios. And in it, and she writes, 0:14:27.660 --> 0:14:30.040 she watched it and thought maybe she watched the wrong 0:14:30.380 --> 0:14:34.020 one because a lot of women sports stars are going 0:14:34.260 --> 0:14:39.460 crazy over this ad. She is naked or near naked 0:14:39.780 --> 0:14:44.260 with her nether regions in what Caitlin Flanagan says, in 0:14:44.620 --> 0:14:46.880 a device worthy of Benny Hill at the height of 0:14:46.940 --> 0:14:47.610 his powers. 0:14:48.250 --> 0:14:49.590 Now I'm really in love. 0:14:51.130 --> 0:14:54.070 With the sports equipment covering her nether regions as she 0:14:54.210 --> 0:14:57.470 feigns playing these games, all encouraging young men to bet 0:14:57.550 --> 0:14:58.030 on sports. 0:14:58.250 --> 0:15:01.530 I did see one picture that I thought, where are 0:15:01.580 --> 0:15:04.220 they showing this? That's just her boobs. 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:04.380 Yeah. 0:15:05.820 --> 0:15:07.800 I was shocked at how much it was. 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:12.470 Yeah, none of the critical Blue Bull parts are shown, but, 0:15:12.510 --> 0:15:14.950 I mean, it's a lot of skin. 0:15:16.070 --> 0:15:20.400 And so, and then, you know, Olympic swimmer Arianne Titmuss, 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:23.619 good lord. What? I know. It's not my fault. I 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:24.140 didn't name her. 0:15:24.860 --> 0:15:27.820 Said the ad, quote. 0:15:28.620 --> 0:15:34.850 Maybe I should pre-read the rest of this. Yes! You know, 0:15:34.870 --> 0:15:36.610 it's funny. I read it, but until I said it 0:15:36.690 --> 0:15:37.710 out loud, it hadn't occurred to me. 0:15:38.070 --> 0:15:41.530 Anyway, the lovely and beautifully named Arianne Titmuss said the 0:15:41.770 --> 0:15:43.810 ad was a, quote, kick in the face to every 0:15:43.850 --> 0:15:46.730 woman who has dedicated her life to perfecting her craft. 0:15:47.430 --> 0:15:49.720 Meanwhile, Jim Scrotum disagrees. 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.960 The Female Athlete Project, which describes itself as a community 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.240 of advocates, allies, and athletes, posted on Instagram that there 0:15:58.260 --> 0:16:00.590 are so many versions of women in sport, and the 0:16:00.620 --> 0:16:03.310 new ad with Sydney Sweeney does nothing to genuinely represent 0:16:03.330 --> 0:16:05.890 or support them. The Athletic pretended to be outraged. The 0:16:05.910 --> 0:16:09.050 New York Times pretended to be outraged. It's a huge 0:16:09.350 --> 0:16:13.210 step backward in women's sports, blah, blah, blah. So anyway, 0:16:13.570 --> 0:16:18.410 Caitlin Flanagan writes, According to the central tenet of 17th 0:16:18.490 --> 0:16:21.750 wave feminism, a woman has every right to dress or 0:16:21.850 --> 0:16:24.170 undress as she wants. And if she walks through the 0:16:24.190 --> 0:16:26.630 Mall of America in a pair of pasties and a G-string, 0:16:26.930 --> 0:16:29.720 anyone leering at her is the one with the problem, 0:16:30.220 --> 0:16:30.770 not her. 0:16:31.250 --> 0:16:34.620 So what's with all the slut-shaming? Feminism is a shapeshifter. 0:16:34.700 --> 0:16:38.420 It's not logic and reason that determines its positions. It's 0:16:38.460 --> 0:16:40.500 how well it serves the current cause. 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.140 Only a woman can say that, but that is clearly true. 0:16:43.780 --> 0:16:44.180 Oh, yeah. 0:16:44.260 --> 0:16:48.440 It's just– it's an opportunity to have a grievance. And 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:48.920 it's funny. 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:51.380 I was so lucky, so, so, so lucky. I grew 0:16:51.420 --> 0:16:54.140 up in a very happy family that seemed pretty functional. 0:16:55.180 --> 0:16:57.840 And I've come into a lot of people– come across 0:16:57.860 --> 0:16:59.280 a lot of people in the world who did not. 0:16:59.340 --> 0:17:04.410 God bless them. Perhaps it's y'all. In which whoever had the. 0:17:04.450 --> 0:17:09.240 Grievance– was the most powerful person in the household that day. 0:17:09.540 --> 0:17:13.260 And that was the culture. And a lot of political 0:17:13.340 --> 0:17:15.900 activism is that these days. 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.060 I hate that we're talking about this. It's a good 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:23.440 topic in general. But I hate for whatever company Sidney 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:28.940 Sweeney is representing to get attention by this ridiculous caveman-like gambit. 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.980 I'm hot. Here's the product. I don't like that. I 0:17:33.020 --> 0:17:35.360 don't like being let around like that. So I hate 0:17:35.420 --> 0:17:39.380 the fact that it's getting all the attention because of, please. 0:17:39.810 --> 0:17:40.960 Final note from Caitlin. 0:17:41.380 --> 0:17:43.609 I don't think there's a single person who saw Sweeney 0:17:43.670 --> 0:17:47.350 obscure her large breasts and thought she must play professional football. 0:17:49.650 --> 0:17:52.010 The ideas behind the ad, like the ideas behind all 0:17:52.050 --> 0:17:55.609 good ads were simple sports, betting, sexy girl. 0:17:56.660 --> 0:17:57.480 Yeah, shocking. 0:17:57.660 --> 0:18:01.270 You ever been to a sports bar? Yeah, yeah, unbelievable. So, 0:18:01.550 --> 0:18:05.050 Macklemore and company quitting Ed Sheeran's tour. They're absolutely wrong 0:18:05.369 --> 0:18:06.830 on the Palestinian thing. 0:18:07.010 --> 0:18:09.700 On the facts. Stay with us. It's not a genocide? 0:18:09.740 --> 0:18:11.980 Is that what you're saying? Among other things, yeah. 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:14.420 Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:16.050 --> 0:18:20.910 Sheeran's most recent tour grossed nearly $ 900 million. In addressing 0:18:20.930 --> 0:18:24.109 the fallout today, he posted, I spent this week trying 0:18:24.150 --> 0:18:27.250 to build bridges to find a solution, and unfortunately, I 0:18:27.609 --> 0:18:30.610 was unable to do so. In a statement, McElmore said 0:18:30.650 --> 0:18:33.889 that Sheeran told him New England's Patriot owner Robert Kraft 0:18:33.910 --> 0:18:37.160 had rallied other stadium owners and said if McElmore stays 0:18:37.220 --> 0:18:39.420 on the tour, then they wouldn't be allowed to play 0:18:39.460 --> 0:18:42.060 in their venues. CBS News reached out to Kraft for 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.220 a response to that allegation and the promoter, Messina Tory Group, 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:47.100 but did not hear back before airtime. 0:18:48.260 --> 0:18:50.800 Now, I don't even care who's the opening act in 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:53.720 bands I love. And Ed Sheeran's a great songwriter. This 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:55.700 is not about which band is playing on his tour. 0:18:56.560 --> 0:19:04.139 It's about Macklemore, the rapper-singer guy, making harsh screeds in 0:19:04.260 --> 0:19:07.659 favor of the quote-unquote Palestinians and against Israel from the 0:19:07.700 --> 0:19:11.460 stage on Ed Sheeran's tour. Ed is not a political guy, 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:13.810 at least not on stage. And not just, I don't 0:19:13.830 --> 0:19:16.050 know if we have in the audio, Macklemore, what he's 0:19:16.070 --> 0:19:17.149 saying on stage, but not. 0:19:17.090 --> 0:19:21.890 Just, you know, oh, by the way, pro-Palestine, and people cheer, 0:19:21.910 --> 0:19:24.990 and then you go back into your song. Long screeds 0:19:25.090 --> 0:19:28.149 about it. And demanding the agreement of the audience. I'd 0:19:28.230 --> 0:19:29.090 walk out on that. 0:19:29.550 --> 0:19:29.770 Yeah. 0:19:29.950 --> 0:19:30.850 I'd walk out on that. 0:19:31.390 --> 0:19:34.960 So promoters and venue owners said, we're not having that. 0:19:35.140 --> 0:19:37.180 You can't have Macklemore if you're going to play our hall. 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:41.320 And so the business people said, Macklemore, you've got to go. 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.830 Why do you think that happened, that the owners of 0:19:44.850 --> 0:19:47.050 these stadiums drew a line there? Because, I mean, I 0:19:47.090 --> 0:19:51.000 saw Bruce Springsteen. I've seen lots of... bands say lots 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:54.540 of political stuff. Where did this cross the line? Great question. 0:19:55.020 --> 0:19:56.120 I don't know exactly. 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:59.400 I mean, it wasn't like it was 75 arena owners. 0:19:59.460 --> 0:20:02.120 It was a handful. So you'd have to ask them. 0:20:02.220 --> 0:20:02.960 It's a good question. 0:20:03.690 --> 0:20:07.050 But so anyway, the opening acts quit, and the Irish 0:20:07.090 --> 0:20:10.310 folk group that was Sheeran's band on the tour, they 0:20:10.350 --> 0:20:10.830 quit too. 0:20:11.670 --> 0:20:13.530 Said Phineas, the. 0:20:13.450 --> 0:20:15.950 Brother of singer Billie Eilish, who was part of the tour, quote, 0:20:16.030 --> 0:20:19.010 artists must not be silenced when they speak up for 0:20:19.030 --> 0:20:19.610 the oppressed. 0:20:21.170 --> 0:20:28.650 Okay. Again, not about music. It's an entertainment proposition, and... 0:20:29.950 --> 0:20:31.870 We'll pay if we're entertained. I don't give a crap 0:20:31.910 --> 0:20:33.650 what you think about politics. So. 0:20:34.530 --> 0:20:39.330 Set free Palestine. I want those words to be loud 0:20:39.410 --> 0:20:43.070 and clear. So the people from Gaza all the way 0:20:43.090 --> 0:20:47.500 to the occupied West Bank know that we have not 0:20:47.619 --> 0:20:49.480 forgotten them. All right. 0:20:50.180 --> 0:20:54.060 So you're going there to see Ed Sheeran play his well-crafted, 0:20:55.020 --> 0:20:58.920 sensitive folk songs and other styles as well. 0:20:59.020 --> 0:21:01.330 And he's a talented guy. This is not about music. 0:21:01.369 --> 0:21:02.010 So it was funny. 0:21:02.109 --> 0:21:04.070
