So and 166 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: back in those times, was it you know, what was 167 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: sort of the hierarchy, like was it is it a 168 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: completely impossible feat for her to get to the Yeah, 169 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: that's that's interesting. You know. So Rome is like way 170 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: more patriarchal and like misogynistic than ancient Greece. Right, So 171 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: in ancient Greece, you know priestess prostitutes or like goddesses 172 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: that sir or you know, like priestesses that serve the 173 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: goddess through sacred sex and something that we would sort 174 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: of recognize as like high end you know, like high 175 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: art performance sex work that is still happening today. Right, 176 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: So we those people had social power and there were 177 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: like temples and systems and like places carved out, so 178 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: like Phrynes and ancient Greek courtessan who was tried for 179 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: blasphemy because she got like up a day or whatever, 180 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: and she bared her breasts to the jury and basically 181 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: said like my you know, my tits are divine, and 182 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: fight me if you disagree, and she won, right, and 183 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: she's right, yeah, yeah, absolutely, and like yeah no, I 184 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: mean they're that that's that's God, you know what I mean. 185 00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: And so that's ancient Greece. Courtisans in ancient Rome no 186 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: such power. There was a lot more restriction on their 187 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: freedom of movement, and specifically they're sort of like a 188 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: scent into social circles, so it was actually illegal for it. 189 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: Had marg Anthony married this woman, he would have, by 190 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: default and by Roman law, lost his rank, right, but 191 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: like also he would have lost his rank. And like 192 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: ancient Roman politicians or whatever, and folks in the military 193 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: would lose their rank if they ever performed on a stage. 194 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: So like that association of like actress and sex work 195 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: or like performer and you know, salaciousness or whatever goes 196 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: way back. And ancient Roman minds, like you know, they're 197 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: not they're not the mimes of today. They're not the 198 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: silent kind. It's actually a predecessor to comedy more than 199 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: comedy in the like the theater tradition, which is like 200 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 1: way stricter and scripted and had a lot more rules. 201 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: This was just like improv on current events, which is 202 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: what you guys do. Okay, So are the courtesans Yeah, yeah, 203 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: hors and gestures have occupied the same position the whole exactly. 204 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: And we just and we just give our heart takes 205 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 1: for Casper mattresses. We're all playing to the pleasure of 206 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: the king. Are there cultures that like we're less patriarchal 207 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: and we're more accepting of sex work than Rome? Like 208 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: what are stuff? That's impossible? Man? The greatest hits Because yeah, 209 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: I feel like we are in the Roman tradition and 210 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: like we assume that we are like progressive, but we're 211 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: actually compared to other cultures throughout history, we kind of 212 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: centuries behind. Yeah, I mean there's a lot of evidence 213 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: about like different beliefs around like women and gender and 214 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: bodies that provides like a way better foundation. Right in 215 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: indigenous communities across North America. There's also like in Brazil 216 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: and India, there's a long tradition here ancient Greece when 217 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: you're talking to out like the Western tradition is sort 218 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: of like when my when my story of history, which 219 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: is like way oversimplified, right, I do ten thousand years 220 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: and seventy five minutes, right, Like there's a lot of 221 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: erasure and oversimplification that happens. But like I kind of 222 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 1: pin ancient Greece is like the briny waters where like 223 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: we see patriarchy, right, we start to do lineage through 224 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: the dad, but goddesses that engage in the erotic arts 225 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: still have real power. Yeah, that's cool. And we go 226 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: through phases, right, Like the medieval period is like another upstart. 227 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: Then you have like you know, the witch burnings, and 228 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: you have like you know, the the descent of disease. 229 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: It's yeah, but there's my favorite topic, and I'll you know, 230 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: I will corner you know it. It's always frustrating when 231 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: we have a guest on who's like, oh, the thing 232 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: you talked about in your podcast is way more interesting 233 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: than the news. We should just talk about that the 234 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 1: whole time. But well, we'll try and fit in some news, 235 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: but I want to keep talking about this. What's something 236 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: you think is over you know, I think the police 237 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: are overrated they're like pretty new in society, and they 238 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: always they like by design protect property and not people. 239 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: And we should either get like real honest about that 240 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 1: and ask ourselves questions about how we want our tax 241 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: dollars used, or we should you know, hey, other people 242 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: to do this protected serve thing, because like that's not 243 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: what they do. What what did people used to do 244 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: before the police? Like you had a night's watchman, which 245 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: was often a punishment right, so if you like, it 246 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: was often given to drunkard's right who would be forced 247 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: to like walk around the village or whatever, and like 248 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: because they're they're often found sleeping on their posts. You know, 249 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: you had it was you know, it's community relationships, community vigilance. 250 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: You do have. You know, villages will get together and 251 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: like tell you that you have to sit with your 252 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: hands and head and the wouldn't thing and people throw 253 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: eggs and insults at you and we call it. It 254 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily better, but like we still do that in 255 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: my household, but it's more a yeah, let them let 256 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: me know im garbage. The community aspect of it really 257 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: seems to be like the because that's something we're seeing 258 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: a lot in the Zeitgeist and just in like modern 259 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: culture is that like there's this abstraction from like humans 260 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: by nature are like part of communities that like, you know, 261 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: solve problems together and have relations and you know, value 262 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: to one another and care what other people think of them, 263 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: and like care about people and like spend their time 264 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: solving each other's problems. And by like we've we've reached 265 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: this point in capitalism where like not only are like 266 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: workers like being like abstracted to like numbers on a 267 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: spreadsheet that like corporations are you know, adding and subtracting 268 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: and you know, moving around, but like that's almost like 269 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: per aided too, you know, social media to like how 270 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: we interact with each other, Like we don't even see 271 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: one another, We don't even really interact with one another 272 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: other than like in these very like abstract ways. So 273 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: I think it's like now especially difficult for people to 274 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: imagine a world without police because they assume, well, you 275 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: need some abstract like job that we're just like assigning 276 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: and paying to do the thing, as opposed to like, no, 277 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: you're part of a community that looks out for one another, 278 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: and that's how you like protect each other and you 279 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: know stay safe. Yeah, we did a we did a 280 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: couple of really dangerous things. Right. We equated justice with 281 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: violence and punishment, right, and then you know, we we're 282 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: suffering from a crisis of isolation of like you know, 283 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: solitary confinement and the way that we sort of like 284 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: you know, remove people from society both as part of 285 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: like the punishment system that we have and then also increase, seemingly, 286 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: as you said, with work. You know, we sort of 287 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: can look to what's happening in in China right now, 288 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: where people are spending nearly twenty hours a day or whatever, 289 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: like in a in a room behind a screen doing 290 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: like various jobs. We're doing that to ourselves, like we're 291 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: and it's grounded in this idea of I don't know, 292 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: individualism and vigilante ism. That's so much a part of 293 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: the American story. But I feel like we've really gotten 294 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: like drunk on violence for lack of a better termament 295 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,479 Speaker 1: and it reflects in the systems that we create, and 296 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: like our prison system is one reflection of that, but 297 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: like our work systems also reflect those values. Right. It's 298 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: almost like there's a there's like a line between like 299 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: how hard is your job and is that a job? 300 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: Then you know? But then but then that's the question 301 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: stops being asked when you get to the C suite 302 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: and you're like, I'm sorry, what do you do here again? 303 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: Because you get paid the most, so I'd imagine your 304 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: hands must be bloodied with all the hard Yeah. It 305 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: turns out that the top job is to take really 306 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: good care of yourself, and we just doing more of that, 307 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: right right, Oh yeah, that's a myth that I feed 308 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: you all. So yeah, yeah, yeah. If you want me 309 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 1: to look good and sound good at interviews, I have 310 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: to sleep and that means I have to move my 311 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: body every day. And that's why this trainer is on 312 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: company payroll. I get it. But the protect property not 313 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: people thing is such a pervasive value. Like we're seeing 314 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: that in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial right now, Like he 315 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 1: went there to protect property and kill people, and the 316 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: judges like, yeah, now that's we can't call them victims 317 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: because he was protecting property. He was cleaning fucking graffiti 318 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 1: off buildings. So he's a fucking hero like that. And 319 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: we really see the rise of police departments during this 320 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: very this transition period in the US from childel slavery 321 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: right to the prison industrial complex that we know today, 322 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: this sort of like eighteen fifties through eighteen seventies, Like 323 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 1: it's the descent of Jim Crow in the south right 324 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: and Rovane polices slee targeting immigrant communities right in the north, 325 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 1: and our criminal justice system and the laws that we 326 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: write and the justification that we use for the labor 327 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: exploitation that is happening right still in prisons today. Right, 328 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: Like if you if you tell yourself a story about 329 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: how if you were alive during slavery, you would have 330 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: fought against it, Like you have that opportunity every day, right, 331 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: Like this is a horrific human suffering that we continue 332 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: to do on people, and its shape shifts and the 333 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: language that we use to describe it changes, but the 334 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: reality of it really doesn't. And so you know, I 335 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: think it's important to talk about the way that the 336 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: way that police came up to hunt for runaway slaves 337 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: in the south, right and to protect industrialists property in 338 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: their absence at port cities in the North, and like 339 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: that's the origin story. And and in a way like 340 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: two Birds with chattel slavery, it's like it's it turns 341 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: out that people are the property in this case. All yeah, yeah, 342 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: and we justify the whole thing by saying that what 343 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 1: we were really doing was protecting white women. Right. This 344 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: is when we see the white slave law right of 345 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: nineteen ten. This is when we have this moral panic 346 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: over white slavery, which is the same storyline that we 347 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: see today in the kind of trafficking fears. Like I 348 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: believe that we are living through another sex panic right 349 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: in the wake of a racial reckoning, right that is 350 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: going to be used to justify a violent crackdown on 351 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: already oppressed communities, right, including sex workers. Right. And this 352 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: idea that we're capturing the real predators. That's that's a 353 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: very old story, yeah, one with a rotating cast of 354 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 1: characters that were always there, but just this time it's 355 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: played by this person or group. What is something you 356 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: think is underrated? Oh wow? Abortion? Yeah? I don't think 357 00:20:54,960 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: we talk enough about, like literally how many lives that 358 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 1: procedure has saved, right, both in like a literal medical 359 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 1: necessity way and also in an expansion of opportunity. Right, 360 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: Like we just failed as a country to pass you know, 361 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: maternity leave, right, or to expand maternity leave. I feel 362 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 1: like we really don't understand the toll of what it 363 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 1: means to go through pregnancy, to give birth, right to 364 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: have a human being. Like, I would like to live 365 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: in a world where more people understand the realities of 366 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: reproductive health care because it affects all of us, you know, 367 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: And I think that more people should be we should 368 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: be telling our abortion stories, right. I think that this 369 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: idea that it's a women's issue or people with uterus 370 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,959 Speaker 1: issue is narrow minded and the wake of what's happening 371 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: in Texas, like I know a lot of like technically 372 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 1: and also shockingly casually pro choice men that didn't grow 373 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,959 Speaker 1: up hearing the same stories I did about the horrific 374 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: reality of what it is to live in a society 375 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: where you don't have safe and legal access to abortion right, 376 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: where the doctors in your community don't understand and how 377 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: the reproductive system works, or like how to take care 378 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: of you. And we should be living in a world 379 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: where we share more of those stories. Yeah, And I 380 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,239 Speaker 1: think there's also I mean, it's it's interesting, especially as 381 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 1: it relates to the parental leaf thing about how like 382 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: barely many like men on the hill we're actually being like, yeah, 383 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: like this is good, Like it's like, no, that's that's 384 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: let the let the women of Congress like try and 385 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: you know, pull this thing along. When it's like again, 386 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 1: then they're also revealing their very myopic understanding of what 387 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: it means to be a parent or give birth or 388 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: those things like well yeah, when really should be yes, 389 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: because this helps fucking everyone, including you the dick have 390 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: her in this equation. It's a benefit. So don't just think, 391 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: well it's for them, I got to go to work, No, Like, 392 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: this is valuable fucking time that you need to you know, 393 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: become acclimated to your new family and you're transitioning into 394 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: a new phase of your life. And I think it 395 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: goes back to that myth of individualism thing, right, you know. 396 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: I think that like we created or we invested a 397 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: lot in this sort of false economy between like the 398 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: public and the private sphere, right like home and work, 399 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 1: and we all we are all multidimensional members of a community, 400 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: right like and caretaking and helping to make sure that 401 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: the next generation is set up. Like, you know, there's 402 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: a lot more to do in the first three months 403 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 1: after a child care they call it the fourth trimester, 404 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: you know, like that babing. It's meant to be a 405 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: community project. It's even overwhelming, I think for for two people. 406 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: But we we have this idea, right that like the 407 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: life death life cycle, the um. You know, whether you're 408 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 1: talking about abortion or even like deathbed or like or 409 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: giving birth, is this like secret and shamed element that 410 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: like divorces us from what connects us to one another. Right, 411 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: And I know that like that that sounds like radical 412 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: and weird, but it really it comes down to this 413 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: idea that we think that we can we think that 414 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: we can erase people. Right. We see that with prisons, 415 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: we see that with the way that industry works. In 416 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 1: this idea that life and work are so separate from 417 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 1: one another is what allows us to perpetuate these bananas 418 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: policies that like people can't get paid time off after 419 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: making a fucking baby. Right, yeah, well, ship, you wanna 420 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: talk about Wall Street? Straight? Yeah? All right, let's take 421 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: a quick break and we will be right back and 422 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: we're back. And so there's this sort of like centrist 423 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: Quintonian version of America, Like what what is taken seriously 424 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: that like starts and centers on Wall Street that I think, 425 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: like if you turn on CNN, MSNBC, you know, any 426 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: any of the like twenty four hour cable news networks 427 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: like that, that idea still rules. They're like you still 428 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: have like these talking heads who are going to be 429 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: steeped in that, you know, who think that, like any 430 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: serious idea has to like be feasible from a like 431 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: corporate VC perspective basically. And so Miles you were pointing 432 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: out that there's this Stephanie rule. There's a Stephanie rule. Character, 433 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: there's a step rule. One of MSNBC is more popular 434 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: anchors who has, you know, made some interesting statements about 435 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 1: just kind of what's what's really going on with this 436 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: US economy we got here? Oh, let me tell you 437 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: what's really happening with in place. Let me tell you 438 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: what let me tell a dirty little secret about America 439 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: and all this stuff about we don't have enough money. 440 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 1: So yes, I think again, very important thing to note 441 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 1: about Stephanie rules. You know, prior to transitioning to the 442 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: news or you know, Bloomberg whatever you wanna call that ship, 443 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: she spent you know, like almost like fifteen years, almost 444 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: two decades, you know, work in the world of finance, 445 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: you know, starting as an intern at Merrill Lynch than 446 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 1: doing hedge fund sales at Credit Sweets and Deutsche Bank. 447 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,959 Speaker 1: You know, like full on, just a child of Wall Street, 448 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: of the markets with the worldview that's like, yeah, man, 449 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 1: you can explain everything with the stock market. And she 450 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: really revealed herself in that worldview over the last couple 451 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: of weeks. It's funny because you know, I think last 452 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 1: week Jack, I was like, yo, dude, I have to 453 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: play this clip of Stephanie Rule where she's trying to 454 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: explain like where like why the prices are going up? 455 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 1: And we didn't talk about it because I was just 456 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: more outraised and I was just like, you, you need 457 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: to hear this thing now.

We don't have enough people to fill 460 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: our current jobs and this argument they're going to be 461 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: jobs at higher wages. Higher wages are one of the 462 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: contributing factors to inflation.

Again, those prices going up, it's because those 471 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: people at John Deere want a fair shake at the 472 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: wages that they're being paid or not paid. It's not 473 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: because of the CEO s were not willing to budge 474 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: on whatever fucking earnings reports they need to show stockholders 475 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: and things like that.

This 551 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: is when we had the destabilizing like only fans conversation, Right, 552 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: this is we're living in the wake of Sesta Fosta, 553 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: which erased the places that sex worker he used to 554 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: schedule and screen their clients, right, like back Page and 555 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: rent Boy, and like remember Craigslist rotic services. Remember how 556 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: much fun Craigslist rotic services was, Like you could just 557 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: pull up people's crazy fantasies or whatever, like I'm looking 558 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: for something, right, Like yeah, and that was taken away 559 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: all in the name of I don't know, rescuing women 560 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: from money and orgasms, which has been like the real 561 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: thing that we've been waging war on for hundreds of years. Right. 562 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: We don't fight terrorism, we don't fight violence, and we 563 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: certainly don't fight poverty, but we're willing to wage a 564 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: war on female orgasms and people making money. Right. The 565 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: trend of like closing all those things down, Like, is 566 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: that related to the pandemic? Liked it was it somehow, 567 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: like you know, causally connected or is it just like 568 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: those two things kind of happened. The impact for people 569 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: living through that, right, Like the impact of losing your 570 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: ability to make money online was compounded by the pandemics, 571 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: right because like everyone, but I don't you know, I 572 00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: would say that like historically speaking, pulling way back times 573 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: of plague, right, are not great for sex workers, right, 574 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: So like you increase fear, right, you increase reaction, you 575 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: increase a kind of mothering, right, But we really didn't 576 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: see that with this crisis as much as we did 577 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: like with the with the AIDS crisis. So I would 578 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: say it's hard to say, Like I think that we 579 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: we were looking at an increase of sort of like trafficking, 580 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: hysteria and policing prostitution before the pandemic, and that trend 581 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: is continued into it. And you know, we have the 582 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: que stuff with where suddenly all these people are concerned 583 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: about you know, sex trafficking and predominant, which is bananas 584 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: because it's definitely happening in their church. But like they're 585 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: not willing to have that conversation, right, you want to 586 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: talk about like rampant sexual abuse, incest, you know, really 587 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: like gross ship. Yeah, close knit cults are really where 588 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: that's happening, right, yeah, yeah, look no further Damn. That's 589 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: really interesting though about like that historical trend and because yeah, 590 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: I heard you said that earlier and I was like, wait, 591 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 1: that makes a ton of sense for right now. It 592 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: seems like we're having that, right. It's like, you know, 593 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,399 Speaker 1: we we lived through this, you know, the progressive era 594 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: was a period of time. Like I think that there's 595 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: a lot to learn from looking back, right of like, 596 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,439 Speaker 1: you know, technology changes, but people really don't. So we've 597 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: been having the same conversations the whole time, right there. 598 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 1: There was even a conversation in comedy right in the 599 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: like eight ninety when they were like blackface is racist, 600 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: and like there were all these comics that were like, 601 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,399 Speaker 1: there's this censorship and your and your Jacken can't make 602 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: any kinds of jokes anymore, and so like you know, 603 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: really it's you look for it, you'll find it. Sure. 604 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: All right, Well, well let's talk about the University of 605 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: Austin because I know I have my application out and 606 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:57,320 Speaker 1: I'm just waiting to hear back.

I 649 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: think if they get to the accreditation phase, that's a win, right, 650 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: Like I don't think we're confident that this is going 651 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 1: to open. Sure, well then it's like, okay, so are 652 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: you ready for the title nine discussions based on all 653 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,879 Speaker 1: of this, because that's part of becoming accredited. And since 654 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 1: you're so anti woke, I'm sure please tell us what 655 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:48,840 Speaker 1: you think about sex discrimination? Please? Is Liberty University accredited? 656 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: Because I do feel like they can that's a win 657 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 1: that they could get if they were like actually serious 658 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: about it. Like there are plenty of just completely fucked 659 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,360 Speaker 1: unit cities, right, I mean there are a lot of 660 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 1: them that are accredited. I remember, like Bob Jones University 661 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: was not accredited and still managed to place people in 662 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 1: like law school and medical school. And yeah, it is 663 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 1: regionally accredited. Hell yeah, dog, there you go. Don't need 664 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: to be nationally accredited when the Southern Association of Colleges 665 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: and Schools as you're back. But anyways, yeah, it does 666 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: feel like it is more of a press release with 667 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 1: an Airbnb than an actual university. And yeah, just an 668 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,839 Speaker 1: attempt to like trigger the lips. I. I think you're right, 669 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,840 Speaker 1: and we were right. It's like, I feel like I 670 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 1: hated every conversation that happened around this. They're like their 671 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 1: school is wrong. It's like, let them open their book 672 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 1: club in Austin. Who cares? Like, it's not like going 673 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: to suddenly replace like actual institutions where people like, no, Mom, 674 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 1: I forget Berkeley, I'm going to Austin. Now. Sure, I mean, 675 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's there's people who would who would be 676 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, like, re revamping the way we do 677 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: education is not a bad idea. I mean they also 678 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 1: bring up, you know, like they could have a more 679 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 1: lit promotional video than just like flashing all these names 680 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 1: in black and white, like show the parties how fucking 681 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: sick it would be to go to the universe Austin 682 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 1: University or whatever.

Yeah? Sometimes people forget that 728 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,720 Speaker 1: their brainds work on TV. You know, I got it, 729 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,399 Speaker 1: but like, yeah, that's maybe maybe maybe that's just how 730 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,400 Speaker 1: how they are. But that was upsetting. That was yeah, no, 731 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:53,800 Speaker 1: it was frustrating to watch me. I don't I didn't 732 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 1: have the measles. That's not I'm just I'm impressed with 733 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,959 Speaker 1: Laura Ingram's confidence, right, Like, you know, I have way 734 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 1: a fewer episodes of my show, and I'm not confident 735 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 1: we haven't covered measles, you know what I mean. She 736 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: was really ready to double down that Never in the 737 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,279 Speaker 1: history of the Laura Ingram Show has measles ever come up. 738 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 1: Never because we don't believe in measles. Of course, it's 739 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 1: the yeah, the left wing conspiracy to get us to 740 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,239 Speaker 1: you know, to make our children less smart. But yeah, 741 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 1: all that to say, I don't know if the people 742 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 1: from Greg gutt Felt wrote that, but I wanted so 743 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 1: badly for that to be real. But you know, I 744 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 1: guess that's It's the holiday season, so it's all about 745 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,399 Speaker 1: wishes at the moment. For me, it's just another piece 746 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 1: of evidence that Fox News is getting into comedy and 747 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,839 Speaker 1: liberals are worried, which is the headline I think I've 748 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 1: been reading for the last twenty years. Yeah, well, I 749 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,880 Speaker 1: mean here, I mean maybe you know they can they 750 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,399 Speaker 1: can take Chappelle Chappelle. Now, yeah, that's true. We might 751 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,920 Speaker 1: be interesting. Could you imagine he goes there, He's like, 752 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to use this the Chapelle Show, but for 753 00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,799 Speaker 1: the right wing, Like oh, I mean yeah, I mean 754 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna pretend that, you know, comedy clubs haven't been 755 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 1: owned by conservatives, like since the before the beginning. Yeah, 756 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,960 Speaker 1: like their clubhouses. But I guess that's the thing, is 757 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,880 Speaker 1: like the when are they They'll never be able to 758 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,400 Speaker 1: break through in that point where they're like God, the 759 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 1: limbs always get the good TV shows, like where's our jankass? 760 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,319 Speaker 1: I guess it will happen for one season. Then people 761 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,880 Speaker 1: are like, funk this. I mean you're raising your eyebrows, 762 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 1: like you really want to say something. What do you want? 763 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,319 Speaker 1: You know? I just I want to say that, Like, 764 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 1: on a political level, it's really hard to combat a 765 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:37,120 Speaker 1: simple story with a more complex one. But art being 766 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 1: able to tell complex stories wins. So like, I think 767 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 1: our art is better because our capacity to hold multiple 768 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 1: truths is bigger than the sort of like black and white, 769 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 1: thinking of like victim villain narratives that like drives so 770 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:55,640 Speaker 1: much of stuff, like there are only two genders. Right, 771 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,960 Speaker 1: you broke the law, that's we can put you in 772 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 1: a cage. Now that's the that's right. See isn't that funny? 773 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:07,319 Speaker 1: All right? Well, but I could us headed back towards there. 774 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,520 Speaker 1: There are these signs that we're headed back towards like 775 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 1: the eighties again, where the eighties weren't like totally taken 776 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,520 Speaker 1: over by conservatives, but conservatives satanic panic. We've got the 777 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 1: satanic panic. We've got inflation being like a huge like 778 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 1: scare tactic that's coming up in the media and being 779 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:30,279 Speaker 1: blamed on the left, and just like generally like then, 780 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 1: and I could see a world where, you know, Alex P. 781 00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 1: Keaton makes another like appearance where we start having like 782 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 1: conservative like icons and movies that are like Rambo too, 783 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 1: where he just goes back and like wins the Vietnam 784 00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:56,359 Speaker 1: War like single handedly, like it's tacitly conservative, but not 785 00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:00,239 Speaker 1: like overtly Yeah, no, I think you're right. I'm this 786 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 1: is actually a conversation that I have with my husband 787 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,240 Speaker 1: of like I fear that you know, if we have children, 788 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,879 Speaker 1: they will be they will not enjoy the same freedoms 789 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,799 Speaker 1: that we had. Yeah, in terms of like how to live, 790 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 1: how to live their life, right, I see like the 791 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,799 Speaker 1: bloods in the water in terms of like conflating right, 792 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 1: queer culture sex workers right with violent exploitative perverts. Right, 793 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,080 Speaker 1: Like we're not going to stop the priests. We're not 794 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,360 Speaker 1: going to stop the football coaches, right, We're not going 795 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 1: to stop the abuse of dads. But we can shut 796 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,480 Speaker 1: down bath houses, right, we can shut down poorn sets, right, 797 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:37,280 Speaker 1: we can shut down you know, illicit sex that's happening. 798 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 1: And so like that conflation is old and we know 799 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 1: where it leads, and yet here we are. Yeah, I 800 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:48,320 Speaker 1: mean that kind of ties into the next story about 801 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,400 Speaker 1: the New York City subways.

Really, 833 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,239 Speaker 1: they're just like, oh, this is all very minimal. I mean, 834 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:38,919 Speaker 1: I've been to the I've been to the av Ens, 835 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,759 Speaker 1: and I've definitely seen some toys where I'm like, you know, 836 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,480 Speaker 1: you should you shouldn't. That's a that's private, you know. 837 00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,120 Speaker 1: So I totally get that. But I think that you're right, 838 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,839 Speaker 1: we have a visceral repulsion, right, And I think that 839 00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:56,399 Speaker 1: we're equating sexual imagery with violence and it's it's bananas, right, 840 00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,760 Speaker 1: And so like we are pretending that we are cracking 841 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,759 Speaker 1: down down on people hurting people, right, but we are 842 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:07,719 Speaker 1: trying to erase erotic expression from the public sphere, right, 843 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,120 Speaker 1: And like we've done this before, right, you know the 844 00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: reason you know the I hate to go back in history, 845 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 1: but it's like literally all I do. So like Anthony 846 00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:20,840 Speaker 1: Comstock in the eighteen sixties and seventies equated information about 847 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 1: women's bodies with pornography and use that to singlehandedly delay 848 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,799 Speaker 1: the birth control movement in this country four decades right 849 00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 1: by saying this is porn. Right. He tried to criminalize 850 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:37,760 Speaker 1: dancing in bars and was largely successful. So like, we 851 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:43,000 Speaker 1: we have done this before, and pretending that toys or 852 00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:48,879 Speaker 1: sassy stories or erotic energy is destructive. I think it's 853 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,480 Speaker 1: like one of those big foundational lives we just have 854 00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,920 Speaker 1: to get over to move forward. Yeah, And this is 855 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,040 Speaker 1: the thing, like sort of in their lawsuit, they're like, 856 00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,160 Speaker 1: this is absurd that you're going to say that it's 857 00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 1: violating like these you don't do anything sexually oriented businesses, 858 00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,000 Speaker 1: It's like but and then in their lawsuit they pointed 859 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 1: out that this is like it's unconstitutional. They're infringing on 860 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 1: their like their freedom of speech rights, and also saying 861 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,560 Speaker 1: that like if you're talking about suggestive and explicit ads, 862 00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,520 Speaker 1: like I said, like just look around at what you 863 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 1: have cooking in the subwayarity there are sell beer. Are 864 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 1: you guys nuts? This is yeah, right, And so all 865 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,000 Speaker 1: that came to just sort of ahead and they said 866 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:28,120 Speaker 1: and as the CEO of Dames said that the m 867 00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,520 Speaker 1: t A was quote disproportionately applying their anti sexually oriented 868 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,840 Speaker 1: business clause to women's pleasure advertisement, the m d A 869 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,560 Speaker 1: ended up settling and now with some revamped ads that 870 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:42,239 Speaker 1: are very just like innocuous, they're just those will be 871 00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,759 Speaker 1: now running in the subway from November to January. But 872 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,319 Speaker 1: even then, like you know, it's it's these ads are 873 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:52,000 Speaker 1: very tame considering what you would see in modern advertising 874 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,600 Speaker 1: in general. But yeah, all that to say is it 875 00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,319 Speaker 1: took them to be sued for them to find it like, 876 00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:00,239 Speaker 1: all right, we'll settle, which doesn't feel like a will 877 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:04,840 Speaker 1: win like at all. They settled and that's now I 878 00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,439 Speaker 1: think even had the CEO saying like ideally we would 879 00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:10,120 Speaker 1: have actually just won this case out right, but we'll 880 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,359 Speaker 1: take it. No, I mean, it's it is frustrating that 881 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:17,120 Speaker 1: this is a fight we we keep having to to 882 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,399 Speaker 1: push right and when you know, when I say it's 883 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,120 Speaker 1: all connected, you know, like you can draw a direct 884 00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,279 Speaker 1: parallel between that kind of uh, you know, the the 885 00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:29,400 Speaker 1: censorious application of the law in New York right to 886 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,280 Speaker 1: the federal government leaving out businesses that you know, promoted 887 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,960 Speaker 1: salacious material rights, the lakeship clubs, horn you know, producers 888 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,160 Speaker 1: not to mention if, of course, criminalized sex workers who 889 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,640 Speaker 1: couldn't get any benefits during COVID, right who were ineligible 890 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,600 Speaker 1: for Um, you know the public safety net that we 891 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,799 Speaker 1: created in the wake of this this crisis and what 892 00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 1: just happened in Texas, right, So, like, yes, the the 893 00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 1: six week abortion law, right, or the abortion ban is 894 00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,319 Speaker 1: is a part of that. But something that was not 895 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:05,000 Speaker 1: overturned was they criminalized hiring anyone under the age of 896 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,160 Speaker 1: twenty one to work at any sexually oriented business. Right, 897 00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,600 Speaker 1: So that's every eighteen, nineteen and twenty year old stripper, 898 00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,799 Speaker 1: But it's also every eighteen nineteen or twenty year old 899 00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,920 Speaker 1: working behind the counter at a sex dore. Right. So 900 00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,480 Speaker 1: they they fired, right, they terminated the positions of all 901 00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,640 Speaker 1: of these young people overnight in the name of protecting 902 00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:31,120 Speaker 1: them from themselves and their proximity to sexuality. Mm hm right, Jesus. 903 00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,160 Speaker 1: It seems like there's something also happening on social media, 904 00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,640 Speaker 1: like this year in particular, there's like a bunch of 905 00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 1: people in sex working like industries of various sorts who 906 00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,600 Speaker 1: are having to like delete their accounts or having their 907 00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:51,520 Speaker 1: accounts deleted by Twitter, like just starting in ye, shadow 908 00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,960 Speaker 1: is a shadow banning is a real thing.

If you like Portishead, you're gonna 981 00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,359 Speaker 1: like this hip hop group called the Quakers are They're 982 00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:00,440 Speaker 1: just called Quakers.
