1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Hey guys, I'm Kaylie Shore and this is too much

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: to say it out you. Okay, So, if you listen

3
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: to last week's episode, I had encountered a little bit

4
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: of drama with my neighbor downstairs. Um, she has no idea,

5
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: which is how I'd like to keep it. But um,

6
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: basically there was I sat down to record my podcast

7
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: like three different times, and every single time my downstairs

8
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: neighbor would start blasting music. And it wasn't like club

9
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: music or like rapper, like you know, something like gen Z.

10
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: It is an elderly woman who's listening to like really

11
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: tasteful oldies like Fleetwood Mac and Motown and music I'm enjoying,

12
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: just not like right music, wrong time. UM. So last

13
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: week I had to record my podcast in my closet,

14
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: which you know what, I will account my blessings and

15
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: say I'm very happy to have a closet that's big

16
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: enough to record in. Um. But this week's episode, UM,

17
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: I just ran into the same issue with this woman

18
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: who seems to be living her best life and I'd

19
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: like to keep it that way. Um. But I'm coming

20
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: at you again from in the closet, and this is

21
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: an episode about Pride month. So how fitting, right, ha

22
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: ha ha ha. Okay, anyways, now that I've made that joke, uh,

23
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: which is just accurate. I mean it's just I had

24
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: to I had to acknowledge it. I could be like

25
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: kind of goes, I'm in the closet. Also, this is

26
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: an episode about the lgbt q I blessom community. Um. Anyways,

27
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: so basically June's Pride month. We all know that. Um,

28
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: it's been really really cool to see the different things

29
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: that have happened this month and uh, you know, different

30
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: people on Twitter sharing their perspective and just like happy

31
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: people living their best lives. I mean, my neighbors doing that.

32
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: People seem to be doing that and celebrating and it's

33
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: really nice that like you can go out and do

34
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: pride and like, you know, the Pride festivals are so

35
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 1: so fun. Um, I didn't go to one this year,

36
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: but they are a bull last. Um, the gays know

37
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: how to party, man, I'm telling you. Like, I went

38
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: to this line dancing bar called Peckers in Nashville and

39
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: it is a like it's a gay line dancing bar

40
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: and like very country. But it's um, it's not like

41
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: there's another club called Play, which is like very clubby.

42
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: This place just looks like a dive bar. It's so unsuspecting.

43
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: You go in and you wouldn't really know at first

44
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: that it's a gay bar. It's hilarious anyways, once the

45
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: dancing starts, you can absolutely tell. And um, they ended

46
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: up like I guess the bartenders and the DJ like

47
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: recognize me because it's like a country bar and they

48
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: like country music. And um they played fight like Girl

49
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: on a bunch of people mind dance to it, which

50
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: was really fun and actually not my first experience in

51
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: a gay bar having that happened. Um. There was once

52
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: a massive crowd of probably like a hundred and fifty

53
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: people at oil Can Harry's in um, Los Angeles that

54
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: were line dancing to Gatsby. Um, and then I was like,

55
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: why aren't we filming? This could be the music video.

56
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: It was amazing anyways, So I for Pride Month got

57
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: asked you right an essay for Sounds Like Nashville about

58
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: being an ally and I wanted to share my perspective

59
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: as somebody who grew up in the church and like

60
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: by the church, I mean like the toxic church, and

61
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm not into generalizing any group of people. So everything

62
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: I say about Christianity on this episode or anything having

63
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: to do with that on this episode, that is me

64
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: talking from my experience at this one, like one or

65
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: two churches that I went to. It has absolutely nothing

66
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: to do with anybody else who was Christian. So I'm

67
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: going to read you guys the essay and then elaborate

68
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more on it. But I'm very proud

69
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: of it. It got a lot of traction on Twitter

70
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: when I posted it, and I really wasn't expecting that.

71
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: But this author named David Dark, who's also a Valmont professor.

72
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: I really love his work. He talks about like a

73
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: lot about unlearning some of the toxic things you learn

74
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: on the very dark side of evangelicalism, and um, he

75
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: actually shared my post, which really meant a lot, and

76
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: I was very very complimented, because I mean, he's been

77
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: a voice and an opinion that I've frequently turned to

78
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: as I've grown and formed my own opinions and you know,

79
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: stopped stopped listening to the toxic opinions anyways, So I'm

80
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: gonna read you guys essay and then elaborate a little bit.

81
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: But I'm very proud of it, so I hope you

82
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: enjoy it. I've learned a lot of things over the

83
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: past decade, how to drive a car, how to play mandolin,

84
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: how to fix a broken heart. But even more important

85
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: than the things I've learned are the things I've unlearned.

86
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: I grew up Christian as in Christian Christian as in

87
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: went to a Christian school where we were taught the

88
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: evolution was a hoax, women were responsible for men's sexual sin,

89
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: and gay people who were going to help. I was

90
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: in fifth grade and I didn't know any members of

91
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: the l g B t q I a community. Luckily,

92
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: I had TV shows with representation, but most kids at

93
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: this school had no context other than that if you

94
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: were weren't straight, you were living in sin. I ended

95
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: up essentially getting kicked out of the school because I

96
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: told it fast to go fund himself. He told me

97
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: my mom was going to help because she read the

98
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: new King James version instead of of the Bible as

99
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: opposed to the King James Virsion. I was twelve, and

100
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: it was the first time I'd realized that an authority

101
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: figure can be wrong. That was the beginning of forming

102
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: my own opinions I always loved the TV show de

103
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: Grassi on the Canadian teen channel The End. They covered

104
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: so many topics that weren't discussed in my family. They

105
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: discussed homophobia and hate crimes, and had openly gay characters

106
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: as early as two thousand three. By two thousand five,

107
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: they aired a show called South of Nowhere, which was

108
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: one of the first, if not the first, mainstream team

109
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 1: show that featured openly gay lead characters. I saw myself

110
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: and Spencer and Ashley, and the show opened my mind.

111
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: They actually even had parent guides for each of the

112
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: episodes to help with questions families might have watching it.

113
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: So a quick ground of applause to the end for

114
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: being head of the curve. After my brief but eventful

115
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: foray into religion based schooling, I went to public school.

116
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: My mind opened faster than I could keep up with

117
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,799
Speaker 1: My freshman year, Main's governor attempted to pass a legislative

118
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: act that would allow same sex marriage. It became one

119
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: of the most talked about topics in school. My friends

120
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: and classmates started coming out as lgbt Q plus. A

121
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: few years later, Lady Gaga held a rally at a

122
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: public park in my hometown to support the repeal of

123
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: Don't Ask, Don't Tell, which, for those of you who

124
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: don't know, it's about being openly gay in the military.

125
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: I'd hang out with my friends and talk openly about

126
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: our various sexualities. But then I'd go to church where

127
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: the pastor would outright say that gay marriage is a sin.

128
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: A thirteen year old brain not equipped for that level

129
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: of cognitive dissonance. I still struggle with anchor towards the

130
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: people who taught me that God supports hate. I know

131
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: it's not my fault for believing as a child that

132
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: gay marriage was a one way ticket to help. I

133
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: also thought I had purchased one by losing my purity ring,

134
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: but I still feel guilt for what I was taught.

135
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: As soon as I started gaining a following, I promised

136
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: myself that I would always be outspoken in my support

137
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: of the l g B t Q I a community.

138
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: I love so many of them personally. I have so

139
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: many as fans, and I'm not sure I've ever cried

140
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: after a meet and greet the way I did when

141
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: a trans woman shared her heartfelt connection to fight like

142
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: a girl. I promise that my shows will always be

143
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: a safe place for everyone, regardless of their sexuality, gender identity,

144
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: or race. I've also been lucky enough as a songwriter

145
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: to be brought into spaces where I could help tell

146
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: people's very intimate stories and experiences. I co wrote a

147
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: song by Jenna McDaniel called in the Sun, which is

148
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: about her decision to come out as a lesbian country singer.

149
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: My personal favorite as a song by my non binary

150
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: friend Mickey Ratsula called Second, which documents their decision to

151
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: get top surgery. It's written to their girlfriend about the

152
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: insecurity that comes with body changes over the course of

153
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: their relationship. It's out now and it's one of the

154
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,679
Speaker 1: most special songs I've ever gone to co write. Given

155
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: how outspoken I've been, this essay is uncomfortable to write,

156
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: but I know there's a lot of people who relate

157
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: to the unlearning process and the guilt that comes with

158
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: what we were taught. As an adult, I refused to

159
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: teach my future children to hate people. Even more so,

160
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: I refused to teach them to do anything but love.

161
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: It's not about tolerance, and to be honest, I hate

162
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: that word. Watching someone live their truth and love freely

163
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: is not something to merely put up with it's something

164
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: to celebrate, and I promise whichever higher power you believe

165
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: in their up they're celebrating too, because isn't love the

166
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: entire point. So yeah, I worked really hard on it,

167
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: and I'm really thankful that I got such a kind

168
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: response because I'd didn't really know what to expect. And yeah,

169
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: I felt like being honest about it. I mean, because

170
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: what I was saying in that article is like, yes,

171
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: there was a point in my childhood where I really

172
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: believed that gay people are going to hell. I also

173
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: believe that dinosaurs weren't real, so let's just add that

174
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: one up. Yet that's like literally what they taught is

175
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: that not crazy? Like in retrospect, like there is a

176
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: large period of time that I thought dinosaurs were a hoax,

177
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: and there's just there's so much to want back there. Anyways,

178
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: that's for another episode. But it's, um, yeah, it's it's

179
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: really hard looking back and you know the things I

180
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: was taught, and you know, my um, I don't really

181
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: want to go too far into you know, my family's

182
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: beliefs on this, but and like you know, say who

183
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: or whatever, but um, the majority of my family has

184
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: always supported people of different sexual orientations, but um, the

185
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: ones who didn't UM always blamed it on Jesus. And

186
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, you think that's what he's concerned about, Like,

187
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: and I mean, and I don't want to even care

188
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: about making this argument because it's such bullshit. You I

189
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: shouldn't have to like give this proof to people. But

190
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: like the word for um, like when they were talking

191
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: about like a man being with another man being a sin,

192
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that got lost in translation

193
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: in the Bible, and that was like a man laying

194
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: with a boy. That was what the word meant, and

195
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: they just took it very literally when they were translating it.

196
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: And that's why that's like the verse that people point to.

197
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: I should probably pull up what verse it is, but honestly,

198
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: I just just google it. It's not that hard if

199
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: you feel like checking my sources. I know that I'm

200
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: right and that's enough. So yeah, And I just you know,

201
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: as I went to a public school, I really really

202
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: my mind super opened. And you know, I I did

203
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: the drama whole drama club thing, so obviously I was

204
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: like in the gayest part of school. Um, and it

205
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: was really fun and I loved I love musical theater,

206
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: and I loved, you know, seeing my friends like own

207
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: their truth, and um, I was able to really talk

208
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: honestly to some of my gay friends in high school

209
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: about you know, what I had been taught. Um, actually

210
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: in retrospect, like, oh my god, so so many of

211
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: my friends came out um, either during or after high school.

212
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: I think it might have to do with the fact

213
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: that we live in a really um you know, Maine

214
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: was head legalized gay marriage like the way before it

215
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: was always you know, like Vermont, I think was the

216
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: first state, and um, it was definitely less of an issue.

217
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: And so when I moved um to the South, I

218
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: was kind of like, oh, oh wait, um, we still

219
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: don't we still aren't cool with that. Hey, UM hate that.

220
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna stay in the funk away from you.

221
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's kind of culture shock. There's a lot

222
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: of culture shakra experience moving to the South. I had

223
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: never once and I know that this is like, this

224
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: is not me saying that it didn't exist at all.

225
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I definitely saw racism in Maine,

226
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 1: but I had never heard somebody say the N word

227
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: um outside of reading a fucking page in like um,

228
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: Huckleberry fin Like I'd never heard somebody say other than

229
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: quoting something or like on a movie in a negative

230
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: way until like my first week in Nashville, and this

231
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: guy just said it because I was working at a

232
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: bar and he wasn't letting people in the door. He

233
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: was a bouncer, and he said something. He's like, I'm

234
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: not letting those in and I was like, holy shit,

235
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: and I had no idea that was still a thing.

236
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: And then I mean, like that same guy was such

237
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: an asshole and sort of called people like the real effort.

238
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say funk all I want, but I will

239
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: not say the other effort. It's a yeah. And also

240
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: I would just like to publicly tell Kid Rock to

241
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: go fuck himself for calling people that um. An actual

242
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: faggot is a pile of sticks, and it references the

243
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: fact that gay people used to be burned at the

244
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: steak um. And that's why cigarettes were called like fags

245
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: as well. But that's like, you can't call anything that,

246
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: don't do it um. If you need to talk about

247
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: a cigarette called a cigarette, if you need to talk

248
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: about polistics called piolistics, if you need to talk about

249
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 1: gay people treat them like fucking humans and don't use

250
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: a slur. So anyways, kid Rock and all that ship.

251
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, and then like trying

252
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: to defend it like during Pride month. No less, I mean,

253
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: it's just crazy ship. I also got really worked up

254
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: on Twitter this week because on on literally on Juneteenth,

255
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: which is like, I mean, if you don't know what

256
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: June tenth does, come on, guys, come on. Although I

257
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: will say I actually was hardly. I wasn't taught about

258
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: it in school because I'm of the whole Christian school

259
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: thing and um, oh my god, our history books. I

260
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: need to do an entire episode on this. But our

261
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: history books there was like a sphinx on the cover,

262
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: like a gyp, like Egyptian stuff, and it is the

263
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: most Caucasian looking face on this sphinx. It's just not

264
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: what the sphinx looks like. And I remember looking at

265
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: it being like, I don't think he's supposed to be white.

266
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: And I'm so confused by this, And like literally the

267
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: only thing we were taught about um African history, like

268
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: the continent was um about people going over as missionaries.

269
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: And then also there was like um a little bit

270
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: about slavery. It wasn't one of those history books that

271
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: called it the War of Northern Aggression though, which those exist,

272
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: which is crazy. It just like kind of was like,

273
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: we're not going to talk about it. And a lot

274
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: of the you know, the Christian people they were talking

275
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: about in the history book who had done these things

276
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: and like you know, done these revivals and whatever, were

277
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: slave owners and they didn't put that in the book,

278
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: which is just fucking crazy. Um. I just went off

279
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: on a tangent. But anyway, so if you don't know

280
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: what Juneteenth says, maybe you went to a school like that,

281
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: go google it. It is Black People's Independence Day because

282
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: July four was not when they were freed. Um, and

283
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: it's just hen us that they it's just now becoming

284
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: a national holiday. But anyways, so on Juneteenth, my lovely

285
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: dear friend Mickey Guidon had this ridiculous article written about her,

286
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: and I also, I think I use the exact same

287
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: words when I was like tweeted the journalist and I

288
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: was like, I would like to publicly tell you to

289
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: go fund yourself. So maybe that's my catchphrase now, Um,

290
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they deserve it, you know. But she basically

291
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: wrote this entire article about how Mickey, this incredibly talented

292
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: woman who has been working for decades towards this goal,

293
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: got a Grammy nomination and had a baby within like

294
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: an I think like an eight weeks fan. Um, She's

295
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: just one of the most talented vocalists I've ever seen.

296
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: And this woman wanted to write off her success as

297
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: a product of like Nashville needing somebody like liberal to

298
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: tote around and like all this stuff. And they were

299
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: like talking about her like she's played on country radio.

300
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: It's like Mickey's not played on country radio. Country radio

301
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: has been like no, like Bobby supported her. But when

302
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: I say country radio, I'm just not talking about Bobby.

303
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the other guys. Um. Yeah, it's just crazy.

304
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: It's so so wild, and UM, I got really angry

305
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: about that. So maybe that'll be a segment like what

306
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: Kaylee is angry about this week. It's like my neighbor

307
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: that I'm very mad at, but I can't be mad
