And yeah, so that's that's that's 11 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 2: that's really attracting a lot of heat from both sides. 12 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 2: And look, as a straight man who's never been with 13 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 2: someone of the same sex, I feel totally unqualified to 14 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 2: talk about this. So we brought in one of our producers, 15 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 2: missus Doubtfire is about to call her, who is happily 16 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 2: gave to another woman, very. 17 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: Very happily married to a beautiful woman called Megang. 18 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 2: All right, mate's brown pants on this show. 19 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 3: Now let's get down to it. Else, what's what's the 20 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 3: Do you agree with it? 21 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: Do you think it's a do you think it's offensive? 22 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: I'm not offended in the slightest and to be honest, 23 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 1: in the UK, if I haven't had an ice cream 24 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: named after my sexuality, I'd have been leaping for joy. 25 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: Imagine imagine my delight when we were landed in Australia 26 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: and he went to the ice cream section and there's 27 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: a Golden Gay Time available to buy. 28 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 3: I mean, wawe exception. 29 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,839 Speaker 2: So is there any part of you that understands where 30 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: the concern or the offense is coming from. 31 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: I can understand that certain people may find it upsetting, 32 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: especially as we move so quickly and progress so quickly 33 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: in this day and age. From my side, in all 34 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: serious I do not find it offensive at all. I 35 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: actually think I actually see that name and that branding 36 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: as not a sexual reference to gay people, or I 37 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: see it as a very happy, happily branded ice cream. 38 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: Does that make sense for me? I see it as 39 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: a golden happy time or a golden joyous. 40 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 2: Time, which is obviously what it's intended as well. The 41 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 2: word gay, I mean, well, I don't know if it's 42 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: originally or not, but obviously a long time ago that 43 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,399 Speaker 2: was very much supplemented instead of the word happy, you're 44 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 2: having a gay time, You're having a happy time. You know. 45 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 3: The question is though, because I agree with all that 46 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 3: the word gay, there's a definition there that is joyous. 47 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 3: Time is all hidden on right now. But the fact 48 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 3: of the matter is, if there are a lot of 49 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 3: people saying, well, I actually am offended by the name, 50 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 3: regardless of how it was initially intended Devil's Advocate, isn't 51 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 3: that hard to change the name? 52 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's and that's really like the issue with all 53 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: of this stuff, isn't it is At the end of 54 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: the day, if you've got somebody who is saying that 55 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 2: they're offended by it, getting into whether or not it 56 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 2: is offensive or not, it's kind of a moot point 57 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 2: because you've got somebody stick in their hand. I'm saying, well, actually, no, 58 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 2: this is really irking me. 59 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 3: So there have been some event a lot of changes 60 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 3: recently with other confectionery or other food. Redskins have changed 61 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 3: their name. I'm sorry, I've forgotten what they've changed too, 62 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 3: but they've changed the name, and Coon Cheese has recently 63 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 3: changed as well. And you've got the same argument there, 64 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 3: which is Coon is a family name, that that's why 65 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 3: it was called coon cheese. But because people have been offended, 66 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 3: you know, Yeah, fron By by the name of that 67 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 3: cheese they're changing.

Yeah, thanks Nicole, Yeah, thank you so much, Nicole. 90 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 2: It really I think it still has to be a 91 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 2: case by case basis. With these things, I don't think 92 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 2: we can apply a broad rule to you should have 93 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 2: to change because for me, the difference is here, Like 94 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 2: with redskins, for example, right, redskin is a derogatory term. 95 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 2: Rights racially, it's a derogatory term, right, and all the 96 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 2: connotations that go with that are awful. Right, So that 97 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 2: should be wiped out. The word gay previously was actually 98 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 2: just a word that was used. It actually has it 99 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 2: still has another running definition as a nice thing. 100 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 3: Correct. 101 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean? It's not it's not 102 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 2: a derogatory term for a gay person. It's not like 103 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: a you know, golden fag time or something like that. 104 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: But do you know what I mean, which is derogatory? 105 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: You're all right? And to that point, it's maybe it's 106 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: time to move into a time where the word gay 107 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: isn't referenced or thought of as a derogatory word or 108 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: a word that we shouldn't be using or can't be 109 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: placed in that in that sphere like it's it's not 110 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: a derogatory word. It's a lovely word and it's got 111 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: two meanings, So we can move it forward without changing everything. 112 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 2: Interesting thanks for thanks for your point of view. 113 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: I enjoy your golden hairtime. 114 00:05:53,040 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 2: Guys, hear more of 115 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: Your boys on the Four Show podcast You Know you 116 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: Want To
