Speaker 1: language that can be applied to a lot of things,
Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of things in the world that
Speaker 1: are blimpery. Just look at something, Kay, what blimpery or
Speaker 1: like something blimpering. We live in the age two of
Speaker 1: like gigantic, like like foods and things because we live
Speaker 1: in America, and you can be like you can refer
Speaker 1: to like an oversized food thing, or like that's just
Speaker 1: some blimpery. That's some blimpery. Are just like people talking
Speaker 1: too much, just like overbloated. And just look at that blimp.
Speaker 1: Not anything we're doing here, obviously, I'm not at all
Speaker 1: the opposite of blimpery. Yes, no hot air here has
Speaker 1: been trimmed. Thank you. Wait, I have a question though
Speaker 1: about Germany. Do we think that in Germany there are
Speaker 1: that's there's like a higher concentration of dirigibles than there
Speaker 1: are in the US. As we know, there's only twenty
Speaker 1: five in the US. Something important world. Yes, Yes, Germany.
Speaker 1: Is it just because like feels very war war that's
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, like, yeah, of course
Speaker 1: we got the last couple of glimps people appropriate our
Speaker 1: dirigible culture. Have you seen the movie up? Yes, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I've only seen the beginning and I got really bummed out.

Speaker 1: explain miscarriages to my six and three year old the
Speaker 1: other day because of the beginning montage. But no, the no,
Speaker 1: there's a whole dirigible situation in it. Not because I
Speaker 1: saw the beginning. I was like, yo, this is too
Speaker 1: heavy for you. There is a little hop a Japanese
Speaker 1: kid though, who is the who is one of my characters? Yes, all,

Speaker 1: you people can fill with frisbee's many vary, thank not
Speaker 1: very far. Yes, I'm so glad to hear that. Let's
Speaker 1: just assume that I can throw a frisbee like a
Speaker 1: half mile to really not narrow down where I actually am. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't love it over here this court defined you
Speaker 1: know they're already that's how you are you at? Oh
Speaker 1: my god, Well, now I'm worried about Daniel getting ducks.
Speaker 1: But I am in Brooklyn where I um I am
Speaker 1: in I just lived just out the Prospect Park, which
Speaker 1: is the best park in all of New York City.
Speaker 1: And but I love l A. I'm not you know,
Speaker 1: I grew up in Chicago, so I'm like a Midwestern Asian.
Speaker 1: And then the first time I met like l A Asians,
Speaker 1: I was like, why are these alien species? Why is
Speaker 1: anybody so cool? It's too much like all the girls
Speaker 1: rolled up into college with like their red lipstick and
Speaker 1: their eyebrows. And I was like, right, I love l A.
Speaker 1: My husband is Mexican and Colombian, so when our family
Speaker 1: spends time in Los Angeles, we're just like Koreans and Mexicans.
Speaker 1: We belong. Oh yeah, like this is our home. And
Speaker 1: you were like you you gave me credit. You're like,
Speaker 1: wait right, I'm like in l A. Likely you can't
Speaker 1: funk up pronouncing Spanish, Korean, like Russian, Armenian tie, you know,
Speaker 1: like you know, respect the dialects of l Ale. Al Right, well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to know y'all even better. But first
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell people what we're going to be covering today.
Speaker 1: We're gonna actually have super producer Tricia mccergee back to
Speaker 1: tell us a little bit about voter referendums in light
Speaker 1: of what we saw in Kansas. The voters there said, yes,
Speaker 1: we like rights, we like healthcare, we like body autonomy.
Speaker 1: So she'll be giving us a little bit more insight
Speaker 1: into voter referendums. Uh. And then we'll talk about the
Speaker 1: struggle for coitus on the right struggling. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: you know it's a problem when we see constantly like
Speaker 1: we need an app to solve this, And I'm like, wow, okay, alright, alright,
Speaker 1: look I'm here for dating Darwinism to play out. Um.
Speaker 1: But anyway, before that, we gotta ask our guests, Amy, Becca,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history that's revealing about
Speaker 1: who you are? Oh? Wow, it says a lot. But
Speaker 1: I would say my most recent Google searches, what is
Speaker 1: in ranch water? Oh? Yeah, like the canned ranch water
Speaker 1: can ranch water? Because I didn't know about it until
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, and I have consumed I would say,
Speaker 1: hundreds of ounces of ranchwater. They come in tall place,
Speaker 1: in a tall boy a topo Chico ranchwater. And then
Speaker 1: I realized I'm a type of person, which is that
Speaker 1: like I'm a four year old woman, and so maybe
Speaker 1: I was late to the hard Seltzer game because since
Speaker 1: Mike's lard Lemonade or whatever it was, or I haven't
Speaker 1: been back there, and I know people are talking about
Speaker 1: white Clock. I'm sorry. I understand that the Zeit gang is.
Speaker 1: I'm delayed. But then's something I'm like, do I need
Speaker 1: ranch water in my life? And the answer is I
Speaker 1: do and I want to share that with all of you.
Speaker 1: That's my most recent Google search to down it is
Speaker 1: um tequila Topo Chico and like a little bit of
Speaker 1: simple syrup er, Yeah, that's it. So it is so
Speaker 1: they can it with tequila because I thought you have
Speaker 1: to like label it differently. You know, here's the question effect.
Speaker 1: It definitely has alcohol in it, but the can but
Speaker 1: it says tequila flavor, and so like, what is that?
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, I just like to call
Speaker 1: it vibes water. We've been calling you and our kids
Speaker 1: were like what our mommy and Tiabecca drinking and we're like,
Speaker 1: vibes water. We were just water, feel good, vibee yeah, please,
Speaker 1: oh my god. But yeah, oh shout out to like
Speaker 1: the text in uh super producer Becca saying it's ranch
Speaker 1: water based on the actual cocktail look that's how we
Speaker 1: get things in l A. Things might be start off
Speaker 1: places where like when does it when does topo Chico
Speaker 1: canate for us? Yeah, that's correct. My husban did make me.
Speaker 1: Thank you Becca, re Becca for that, because he did
Speaker 1: make me a real one. The other day, we spent
Speaker 1: a lot of time researching. Yes ran anyways, right now, well,
Speaker 1: we had a few ranch waters. Um my most recent
Speaker 1: or one of my most recent, I'll say, because I
Speaker 1: came across the tweet and the thing that like soothes
Speaker 1: my mind because I'm kind of at the end of
Speaker 1: the day always looking for some sort of light lobotomy,
Speaker 1: like a diet lobotomy to calm myself down at the
Speaker 1: end of the day. So yeah, healing lobotomy. And um,
Speaker 1: I saw a tweet from the New York City Park
Speaker 1: Service which had a picture of a squirrel like on
Speaker 1: its belly, all four limbs splayed out, and it said
Speaker 1: that don't worry about city squirrels if you see them
Speaker 1: like this, because they do this to cool down. And
Speaker 1: it's called splooting slot splooting spl o O T I
Speaker 1: n G. And I was like, that's not real, and
Speaker 1: I googled it, but it's true. It's what like furry
Speaker 1: four legged animals do when they get hot. So like
Speaker 1: you might see your dog splooting, right, I've seen, I've
Speaker 1: seen the little pepper spot. Yeah, splooting is the thing.
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, but it just gave me
Speaker 1: great splut because I think that splooting is what is
Speaker 1: the thing when it sounds like what it is, it's
Speaker 1: a splot, it's like a limp. It's not it's a
Speaker 1: it's the split is much more graceful. I feel like
Speaker 1: splut is different than a splat. A splat is violent,
Speaker 1: feel deadly in between. Oh that was our new podcasts,
Speaker 1: Slat Splut. If anybody needs to do a little splute later,
Speaker 1: I won't judge you. It's hot doing climate things are happening.
Speaker 1: I was like, God might need to take me because
Speaker 1: I'm just spluting all over the blade. But you also
Speaker 1: were googling dew point, something we didn't know was a
Speaker 1: measurement until like three weeks ago New York. Because when
Speaker 1: it was like the New York City dew point is
Speaker 1: is now we might all die. Yes, I still don't
Speaker 1: understand what dew point is. I did a lot of googling,
Speaker 1: but it's basically something about light bulbs and like when
Speaker 1: it's too humid for sweat to evaporate or something. Anyway,
Speaker 1: the dew point in l A is usually like always perfect,
Speaker 1: and the dew point in New York in July it
Speaker 1: turns out is no binnow. So but the dew point
Speaker 1: is leading me to splut is what what I'm saying here? Right? Okay,
Speaker 1: So that's just just makes you feel how humid it
Speaker 1: really feels. It's more like a measure how we experience it,
Speaker 1: right with the higher do Yes, it's like wind unction
Speaker 1: as of humidity. Yes, it's like when grow up in Chicago,
Speaker 1: that was a big thing. It's like, oh, it's forty
Speaker 1: degrees outside, but it feels like seven. I was like,
Speaker 1: then at seven degrees, why why does that matter? Are
Speaker 1: we talking about? They're like, I mean, it's it's eighty five,
Speaker 1: but with the dew point, it's gonna feel like ninety three.
Speaker 1: Then what does the first time have to do with anything?
Speaker 1: I don't want to be so self centered, but it's essentially,
Speaker 1: how do I feel is the only thing I care
Speaker 1: about regarding temper Thank you? Yes, I would like the weather.
Speaker 1: It would just be an outfit that's you know, like
Speaker 1: I don't need to know. I don't really need to know.
Speaker 1: Like if you just show me it's tank top and sandal,
Speaker 1: I go, oh, it's hot. If there's a tank top,
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, this is so hot. We have to
Speaker 1: be nude. And then maybe by the different times of day,
Speaker 1: it's like you need to add a layer it has
Speaker 1: or that you need to add. Oh, like we're going
Speaker 1: to start off flip flop sandal. We're gonna get to
Speaker 1: sleeve T shirts by midday and then you don't see
Speaker 1: that for the rest of the night show. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: do men do instead of a shawl? Mm hmm? What
Speaker 1: can we do instead of because you I don't see
Speaker 1: like you know, like I feel like in l A
Speaker 1: there's always a throw on of the cardigan or the
Speaker 1: or the big scar Yeah, hoodies, Yeah, I got a
Speaker 1: couple of light jackets, like some breakers fall guy, Like
Speaker 1: you know, it's like punched spice Girl. We do. But
Speaker 1: it's mostly people like us who grew up here who
Speaker 1: have never had seasons. So like we're the meme of
Speaker 1: like when people like, oh, when it's sixty eight in
Speaker 1: l A and somebody's got like a puffer jacket on
Speaker 1: but short but shorts. Yeah, but shorts exactly our shorts,
Speaker 1: a north face and a beanie if I have to,
Speaker 1: or two for my Canadian listeners out there, shout out
Speaker 1: to also quickly before we get started with everything. I
Speaker 1: want to ask about mash up Americans. I said, what
Speaker 1: mash up Americans? And you talk about it? I know
Speaker 1: your guy too, as you say hyphen America. Let people
Speaker 1: know kind of like what the sort of rust is
Speaker 1: of of of your company, because I think it is
Speaker 1: very relatable for many people who lived in this country. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we are an independent media company and we started off
Speaker 1: telling stories about race, culture and identity in America. The
Speaker 1: company came about because we were looking around at ourselves
Speaker 1: and all of our friends, like immigrant kids, first and
Speaker 1: second generation um like in relationships or just like in
Speaker 1: deep friend groups where everybody came from a different culture.
Speaker 1: But what really bound us was that we were all
Speaker 1: people that were navigating multiple cultures. And we really believe
Speaker 1: and have leaned into this belief and have been proven
Speaker 1: right time and time again that all all great culture,
Speaker 1: great ideas, great are great leadership and great creativity comes
Speaker 1: from these margins where people are navigating multiple areas, are
Speaker 1: really fluid with their thinking and being proven right being
Speaker 1: on this show and looking at you, Miles, okay, well
Speaker 1: thank you know. I know, well look at you and
Speaker 1: your pronouncing. Oh I pay that fifty k get in.
Speaker 1: It's not a rug pull, I swear not getting rugged promised.
Speaker 1: But before legal reasons, I have to say it is
Speaker 1: a rug pool you know around and find out. Moving on,
Speaker 1: what is something you both think is underrated? I think
Speaker 1: underrated for me is food, food and strip malls, and
Speaker 1: I think in Los Angeles that's the best food that
Speaker 1: there is, period. And I've been watching Street Food, that
Speaker 1: Netflix show, and the l A episode I literally wept
Speaker 1: because it was a celebration of you know, food and
Speaker 1: strip malls are on the street, and um, it was
Speaker 1: just joy that the dollar what is it? Um? Dollar
Speaker 1: meets what's that? Like this? That's literally what it is.
Speaker 1: You get meat for a dollar? Uh? And but yeah,
Speaker 1: strip malls, strip mall food is just the glorious heart
Speaker 1: agree this is this is this is just speaking straight
Speaker 1: to my heart. I could not feel this more more so,
Speaker 1: and I appreciate you for bringing it up because there's
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, there's a cultural there's a cultural not
Speaker 1: even getting I just love this ship so much, but like,
Speaker 1: there's a very light cultural touchdone for this, but it's
Speaker 1: from a terrible, terrible, terrible movie. Did anybody see that
Speaker 1: horrible Zac Effron electronic music movie We Are Your Friends?
Speaker 1: Because there's a scene in that movie there's like, you
Speaker 1: know how people will make like a story point about
Speaker 1: something that's like a growing up movie and it's like,
Speaker 1: but we all did this thing, and then that becomes
Speaker 1: a story point later in the movie. That thing in
Speaker 1: that movie is the best sushi is at a strip
Speaker 1: mall in North Hollywood, And I A, I agree with that,
Speaker 1: but be that movie should not be the cultural touchdone
Speaker 1: for that statement. We need to make that me, Rebecca,
Speaker 1: right now you saying that this is the moment, this
Speaker 1: is of the Daily Site, guys, is the moment where
Speaker 1: we say respect to our strip mall restaurants because they
Speaker 1: are so good. Thank they will. I will give a
Speaker 1: shout out to a documentary from a couple of years
Speaker 1: ago which was about Jonathan Gold who was great Yeah,
Speaker 1: City of Gold, which actually follows him across l A
Speaker 1: like basically I can't remember if it's a Pico or Olympic,
Speaker 1: but taking it across the city and going to all
Speaker 1: these different neighborhoods and food places and just and just yeah,
Speaker 1: it's joyful. What's your favorite spot to eat in a
Speaker 1: strip mall in l A? Um? Wow, what a question?
Speaker 1: What a moment? Man? I have two answers because because
Speaker 1: how how the hell can I not? Okay, one of
Speaker 1: my favorite sushie places is in the corner of a strimll.
Speaker 1: It's literally like in the corner spot it. Uh. It
Speaker 1: used to be called Heroes and Gormet, but now it
Speaker 1: is called um they changed the name over the pandemic
Speaker 1: um motto Orlando and Beverley. It's really good. But the
Speaker 1: other one is Sky's Tacos, Sky's Tacos Fusion, soul food
Speaker 1: and much on Jefferson on No, that's yes, I know
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. I don't what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: They have, yes, soul food, Mexican fusion. Yeah, they're crawfish tacos.
Speaker 1: What untouchable. They are so good. Crawfish tacos with the
Speaker 1: sassy sauce will be there after this, thank you. I
Speaker 1: could not recommend that taco highly enough. So incredible. Please
Speaker 1: go enjoy local business. It is, you know, very local
Speaker 1: l a people, family run. I could not be a
Speaker 1: bigger fan of Sky's Tacos and it's just stuck snuck
Speaker 1: in there on Peco. It's a great thank you so much.
Speaker 1: That's very good. Thank you. Yeah yeah, yeah, always great food.
Speaker 1: Abounce Amy, how about you? What is something you think
Speaker 1: is underrated? Something I think that is underrated is like
Speaker 1: doing things really badly and just enjoying them, but doing them.
Speaker 1: I feel like everybody there's so much like hustle or like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I like to make arts and crafts and
Speaker 1: then somebody's like, you guys just sell that on Etsy.
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's like what people used to
Speaker 1: say or you know. I came up as like a
Speaker 1: writer and then it was like, well, so how do
Speaker 1: you monetize whatever? And I was just like, you know what,
Speaker 1: doing things real bad but like having fun while doing
Speaker 1: them is the actual awesomest thing. Like that's always like
Speaker 1: my like any sport or any activity. This is something
Speaker 1: that I feel like was super important for love and
Speaker 1: note Boung actually because like it's actually no fun if
Speaker 1: somebody's a great singer, like you're supposed to suck. You're
Speaker 1: supposed to just go out there and like say, you know,
Speaker 1: it's just like a it's it's vibes water whatever. The
Speaker 1: ViBe's water of choice is in the note bung. But
Speaker 1: like I think it is so essential to go height
Speaker 1: is the best me too. You know you can now
Speaker 1: they come in great little selter reed like slightly up
Speaker 1: neated cans. Uh huh. You can get a touch of
Speaker 1: flavor that. The other thing that they're selling now is
Speaker 1: you know those little like yogur that come in the
Speaker 1: little plastic red um. Mixing that with sojo Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: like the one we are we starting a canned drink
Speaker 1: company together. Okay, trust me, need to cut this part
Speaker 1: of the episode. Yeah, I like you're underrated because basically
Speaker 1: what it is, it's like remember play having fun? Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: everything is too high stakes or like in the pursuit
Speaker 1: of like commodifying our skills or something like that. When like,
Speaker 1: like to your point, like I think for most people,
Speaker 1: the last time you did something not good and didn't
Speaker 1: give a ship was when you're a kid, because you
Speaker 1: are playing and you're not doing something to like assess
Speaker 1: your abilities. And I think that's like a really important thing.
Speaker 1: It's like you lose sight of just having fun rather
Speaker 1: than is this an assessment of what I can do?
Speaker 1: And like that's a whole other fucking strung or like
Speaker 1: should we be spending time doing this? Like is this
Speaker 1: a valuable pursuit? Or like am I being the most
Speaker 1: efficient or productive? Or like maxing out on this? I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: just do something, just like, just do it, Just do it.
Speaker 1: It's very hard. I mean, like you being efficient, I
Speaker 1: hate being efficient, except I am all the time because
Speaker 1: I'm programmed. Also, I think that's the thing about being
Speaker 1: a mashup and being an immigrant kid, is that like
Speaker 1: you just like achieve, achieve, achieve, and so being bad
Speaker 1: at something it's not something that like to do. No,
Speaker 1: it's it's like are you killing me? Almost freaking money
Speaker 1: I spend in therapy to be like I don't like
Speaker 1: to struggle in front of other people, and I never
Speaker 1: will to the point where I will become inert. And
Speaker 1: because you would start achieving at such a level, you
Speaker 1: you almost like cauterize that a bit, like your ability
Speaker 1: to just do anything, because you're like, not every single
Speaker 1: thing I have to do has to be out the
Speaker 1: fucking park because I was raised on a steady diet
Speaker 1: of like, you better do nine times better than everybody
Speaker 1: else if you're gonna get half the ship they get.
Speaker 1: And then you're like see. The problem with that that
Speaker 1: I struggle with is I'm like, sometimes they're not wrong,
Speaker 1: and then you're like, shit, I gotta do jumps better.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't. It's like that that reality still shouldn't
Speaker 1: impact our ability to play never never. And that's the
Speaker 1: thing about representation, which you're a little hop a Japanese
Speaker 1: kid and up and also Russell, is that, um, we
Speaker 1: also should be able to be represented to be mediocre,
Speaker 1: like just sometimes people suck out there, and that's also real.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah man, the pressure on me to do good
Speaker 1: at golfer, basketball and ship. Our friend Jenny Yang has
Speaker 1: a saying for it, the chee coin called the rep
Speaker 1: sweats when you like see one of your own out
Speaker 1: there and they're not doing good and you're like, oh god,
Speaker 1: just start sweating and just starts just starts sweating. I
Speaker 1: got my own I have to be here. We always
Speaker 1: call that inside voices to like the suffler in inside
Speaker 1: you could be like, oh god, they're darrible. I feel like,
Speaker 1: represent You're like, no, no, they're fine, it's not a
Speaker 1: big deal. They're fine, and that's fine for them. That's
Speaker 1: fine for them. I'm not judging them, like I know
Speaker 1: their parents would be right now, I would never judge that.
Speaker 1: I'm very relaxed. What is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 1: I would say I think spoilers, Like no, spoilers are overrated.
Speaker 1: I like to know what's going to happen at the end.
Speaker 1: It helps me relax into watching something I don't like.
Speaker 1: The less tension allows me to really embrace the embrace
Speaker 1: the moment. And that's something that Amy and I have
Speaker 1: to overcome in nine years of our partnership, is that
Speaker 1: she now her daughter is like me, and so I'm like,
Speaker 1: just call me up. I'll tell you. Yes, Cinderella is
Speaker 1: going to get the guy. She's gonna get him, and
Speaker 1: there is why are you showing her princess movies? And
Speaker 1: that's so that's I just feel like it's it's overrated
Speaker 1: not having a spoiler. I'm like, I want a spoiler anyway,
Speaker 1: thank you. That's why she loves rom comes love Oh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because they're happy. Yeah, they're like looking at like a
Speaker 1: I don't know, like a where's Waldo book? You're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, Like sure, the scene is different, but I
Speaker 1: know Waldo's somewhere in here and it's familiar. Yeah, like miscommunication.
Speaker 1: Everyone needs to go to therapy, but they don't. Then
Speaker 1: they figure it out, they find each other, their love,
Speaker 1: and then they're happy and they're singing a song a karaoke,
Speaker 1: And that is what I'm interested in exploring right now
Speaker 1: as a human being. Thank you so much, because no
Speaker 1: one's like I get like certain things I'm trying to think.
Speaker 1: I remember when I saw The Sixth Sense, someone was like,
Speaker 1: you know he did right before I saw it, and
Speaker 1: I was like what And I didn't make sense. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my bad, you didn't see it, and
Speaker 1: I was like what the fuss? In my mind, I
Speaker 1: was like what is he talking about? And then when
Speaker 1: I watched, I was like, oh, okay, that's what's going on.
Speaker 1: But then I wasn't like oh ship, like that completely
Speaker 1: fucked up the thing for me. So it's like, even
Speaker 1: like those moments where it feels like that's like the
Speaker 1: whole fucking the whole point of watching that, I was
Speaker 1: still like, Okay, that's cool, Like I've never mad like
Speaker 1: seeing an art piece like in a book before seeing
Speaker 1: in person. No, thank you so much different experiences completely,
Speaker 1: Thank you for supporting me. And also I get a
Speaker 1: lot of hate the sh out of spoilers, but I'm
Speaker 1: just saying where you're coming from. I would like to
Speaker 1: add to I'd like to add to beck this point
Speaker 1: where fest also and like I feel like the whole
Speaker 1: like no spoilers conversation comes up super heavy and like
Speaker 1: superhero movie culture and like nerd movie culture. And I
Speaker 1: would just like to say that despite the fact that
Speaker 1: sure you don't want whatever movie spoiled for you, when
Speaker 1: it comes to superhero movies, what do you think is
Speaker 1: going to happen? What do you think it's going to happen?
Speaker 1: It's a movie where someone has a ten movie contract
Speaker 1: that they're feeling out. You think you think they're gonna lose.
Speaker 1: They're gonna lose the fight, They're gonna go up against something.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Oh no, I almost didn't win, and
Speaker 1: then they're gonna win. Spoiler alert, thank you. How it
Speaker 1: feels like spoiler alert somebody spoiling it is just like
Speaker 1: it's just an excuse to get mad, like just to
Speaker 1: jump on people be like, oh, you spoil the thing.
Speaker 1: It's it's like, I feel like it's just we have
Speaker 1: so much madness inside of us and we're just trying
Speaker 1: to find more like rules to put around it. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: and anybody who like, if it really is that important
Speaker 1: to your being that things aren't spoiled for you, like
Speaker 1: anything something is important to you, you know how to
Speaker 1: avoid that ship in your own self interest, Like I
Speaker 1: don't like certain sports scores, being like, if I have
Speaker 1: a game recorded, I know, do not fucking look at Twitter.
Speaker 1: I know to not check people who I've like, I
Speaker 1: talked with about it. They'll be like, are you watching
Speaker 1: it live? And I say no, shut the funk up,
Speaker 1: and then they know. And then I'm fine because I
Speaker 1: know how to fucking keep my blinders on. But I
Speaker 1: guess for others it's more like I need everything to
Speaker 1: passively be what I will, and any effort is too
Speaker 1: much because everything was done for me. How about you
Speaker 1: and what over? I'm just I think it's I would
Speaker 1: like everything to be done passively that the way that
Speaker 1: I like it. Um, yes, right now, this is a
Speaker 1: weird thing to say on a news show but and
Speaker 1: I really am realizing now that I sound like I'm
Speaker 1: like promoting mediocrity in all areas, but I think it's
Speaker 1: overrated to be like two on top of current events.
Speaker 1: There's just too much. I actually like this is I
Speaker 1: have this conversation with my therapist, which is just she
Speaker 1: was like, after some you know, really horrible stuff that
Speaker 1: had happened in our world, like in the spring, she
Speaker 1: was like, you know, reading more about it isn't going
Speaker 1: to help, Like you know what you know, And like
Speaker 1: I think getting every single like news push from like
Speaker 1: the Times or whatever are being like I'm totally addicted
Speaker 1: to Twitter, so I'll be like scrolling all day and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, what happened here? Did this happen? And
Speaker 1: it's just like it's I don't think it's it's I
Speaker 1: don't think it's good for us, and it's it's definitely
Speaker 1: not good for me personally. So I'm just like, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's okay if I find out something twelve or twenty
Speaker 1: four hours later, like also what does that mean? And
Speaker 1: it's just there's a it's like a weird competition one
Speaker 1: up nous that I think it happens to a lot
Speaker 1: of people in media where you're just like, I gotta
Speaker 1: know the thing, I gotta be the first, I gotta
Speaker 1: do this, I gotta have my take. And then it's
Speaker 1: just like, but do you really like unless you're really
Speaker 1: going to add something, I'm just kind of like, okay,
Speaker 1: let it, Like maybe it can sit for a while
Speaker 1: and you can go out and like touch grass and
Speaker 1: live your life for a second. Touch grass. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean feels important. T G. T G. Please, I totally
Speaker 1: agree with you. I mean, like, granted I have to.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm on top of everything, but they're about they're
Speaker 1: boundaries and limits to how I interact with the news,
Speaker 1: Like so what are you what are your big boundaries?
Speaker 1: Like how do you stay saying, Oh, I don't I'm
Speaker 1: not looking at Twitter at night, I'm not looking. I
Speaker 1: stop looking at the news around three pm. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: unless like she's blowing up in a text threat and
Speaker 1: people like yo, did you see? But I'm not. I
Speaker 1: spend most of my day just getting caught up and
Speaker 1: then after that I'm like whatever, I'll catch it in
Speaker 1: the morning, Like I don't need to know everything. And
Speaker 1: that's another thing is I think we all just as humans,
Speaker 1: we have like a terrible impulse to like ruminate on problems,
Speaker 1: and so that rumination also extends to like current events
Speaker 1: or we're like, well, this is how I solve a
Speaker 1: problem is I think NonStop about it, and then maybe
Speaker 1: something will appear from me just thinking constantly about it.
Speaker 1: And typically the only thing I get from that is
Speaker 1: like dread. So part of it is saying, yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's what happened. I can I'll that that that that
Speaker 1: will stay happening. But I also need to then look
Speaker 1: out for myself and and I think mostly it's really
Speaker 1: just in the name of like self care is really
Speaker 1: connecting the idea that one is actually antithetical to the other.
Speaker 1: Like if you want to stay chronically online, unless you're
Speaker 1: built a completely different way, chances are you will burn
Speaker 1: out emotionally at some point. I've definitely experienced, although I
Speaker 1: will say last week was the first week where I refreshing.
Speaker 1: The Alex Jones verdict. It was good eating. It was
Speaker 1: good last week, very good eating this week good this
Speaker 1: week too. You know, I'm like, oh, really, they're like
Speaker 1: there's a there's a narc in the Mega world. We're like, yeah, wow,
Speaker 1: are you all really the FBI. They're like the first time,
Speaker 1: the first time hearing about them. But I'm I've yet
Speaker 1: to see the gop of co intel pro is a
Speaker 1: reason that we need to move away. Yeah, when will
Speaker 1: that happen? I don't know how deep will they go
Speaker 1: in the FBI's history to find something truly unsavory. Anyway,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
Speaker 1: we're bring super producer Tricia into the show right after
Speaker 1: this and we're back. Uh So, last week we were
Speaker 1: talking about the state of Kansas, the voters there there
Speaker 1: was a you know, voter referendum there to basically amend
Speaker 1: the state constitution. They said, you know what, no one
Speaker 1: can get an abortion. But luckily, overwhelmingly that amendment or
Speaker 1: proposed amendment was defeated, and where everyone was like, wow, great,
Speaker 1: I'm glad we're setting a baseline that a majority of
Speaker 1: people knew what time it was to vote, even though
Speaker 1: they were very very intentionally trying to um not trick
Speaker 1: confused voters by putting it during a primary, because if
Speaker 1: you're a non affiliated voter, you might have been like, well,
Speaker 1: this is like the party primaries. Can I go and
Speaker 1: vote and on this amendment, and because the state has
Speaker 1: mathematically more Republicans and Democrats, and like this is the
Speaker 1: perfect time we'll have more Republicans energized to vote on
Speaker 1: this Nolan show and guess what, that didn't happen. But
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit more about referendums, we got
Speaker 1: bring in Tricia mccoergee, thank you so much for coming, superproducer. Wow,
Speaker 1: what did it joke? Hello? Everyone? How are you good
Speaker 1: to be bad? What wisdom can you drop on us
Speaker 1: with your your actual journalistic abilities rather than my overcaffeinated
Speaker 1: screams I do. Oh my gosh. No, I love listening
Speaker 1: to you. Okay, I'm serious. Okay. So, like everyone else,
Speaker 1: I was watching and reading about the results of the
Speaker 1: referendum in Kansas. Basically what happened, as you said, Miles,
Speaker 1: was that there is an amendment proposed to the Constitution
Speaker 1: to basically a band abortion, and the voters came in
Speaker 1: and they basically said no. It was an ambiguous rejection
Speaker 1: of this amendment that would ban abortion, and percent of
Speaker 1: people voted no. So that's quite a lot considering how
Speaker 1: close elections usually are. And one of the reasons that
Speaker 1: this referendum may have gone through. It's a little hard
Speaker 1: to say this for sure, but perhaps representatives expected low
Speaker 1: voter turnout and an easy passage of the amendment, and
Speaker 1: it turns out that's not what happened, thankfully. So anyway,
Speaker 1: watching this, I was kind of intrigued, Like I was
Speaker 1: basically just curious, what is the power of referendums um?
Speaker 1: Now that Rovie Wade has been overturned and a lot
Speaker 1: of abortion rights is up to the states, do we
Speaker 1: have hope using referendums to perhaps minimize the damage of
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court decision? Now thinking of states like Kansas,
Speaker 1: a lot of people on the coasts might kind of
Speaker 1: give up on them because you know, we we call
Speaker 1: a lot of these states five or states. We don't
Speaker 1: really pay a ton of attention to them. We think
Speaker 1: of them as maybe a lost cause for causes like abortion.
Speaker 1: And Kansas does lean Republican, it does lean conservative. Prior
Speaker 1: to it voted for a Democratic Democrat for president only
Speaker 1: once in seventy years. So the fact that voters in
Speaker 1: Kansas turned out and said we do want to preserve
Speaker 1: abortion in our state makes it makes us think like,
Speaker 1: how can this play out in other states? And how
Speaker 1: can we use referendums, which actually are more democratic than
Speaker 1: our current systems of Supreme Court justices who are just
Speaker 1: like nine people who are totally out of touch with
Speaker 1: the actual world, or politicians who take money, you know,
Speaker 1: these political creatures that are funded by like the darkest interests,
Speaker 1: and they're like, yeah, that's a judge who we think
Speaker 1: has good judgment or at least knows what team they're on, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: like this is totally fair. No, not at all. So
Speaker 1: I started looking into, you know, what would happen if
Speaker 1: we had a referendum at a national level, and that
Speaker 1: answer was really clear. We just wouldn't have an abortion
Speaker 1: band because of voters support rights in the US. Now,
Speaker 1: if you go a little bit further down to the
Speaker 1: state level, according to an analysis by The New York Times,
Speaker 1: if all the states were given a referendum about abortion,
Speaker 1: only seven states would vote to significantly restrict abortion. And
Speaker 1: so that number seven states is compared to twenties six
Speaker 1: states that are predicted to roll back abortion after the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court decision, which is a huge difference. That's like,
Speaker 1: of the total countries, states that are only potentially rolling
Speaker 1: back abortion rights because the people don't get a direct voice.
Speaker 1: It is those vested political interest making decisions. So in reality,
Speaker 1: can we rely on referendums? The short answer is yes,
Speaker 1: but also no. I love that. Wouldn't that be simple?
Speaker 1: End the story. But so in the US there's twenty
Speaker 1: six states which have referendum processes. Most of them are
Speaker 1: in the western part of the country, so not really
Speaker 1: any of the East coast states. And a lot of
Speaker 1: those states that do have the rest referendum processes are
Speaker 1: the ones where abortion might be restricted after Rover Wade
Speaker 1: was overturned. So some of those states are Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Speaker 1: and a few more. And in fact, referendum is actually
Speaker 1: going to be in play because four states have put
Speaker 1: abortion directly on the ballot in November, and those ones
Speaker 1: are California, Michigan, and Vermont. Those are gonna ask voters
Speaker 1: whether to affirm the right to abortion. And Kentucky, good
Speaker 1: old Kentucky, is going to ask voters if they want
Speaker 1: to reject the rate to abortion. So definitely, if you're
Speaker 1: in those states, make sure to vote. That is super
Speaker 1: super important on the referendum. And I mean, is I
Speaker 1: know referendums to be a slippery slope, you know, because
Speaker 1: in California there's we have the ballot proposition process where
Speaker 1: either we do see a lot of things that can
Speaker 1: feel like positive legislative opportunities, but really can be bankrolled
Speaker 1: again by money and interests. So in that sense it
Speaker 1: we we do also have to contend with just sort
Speaker 1: of like the double edged sort of how these operate
Speaker 1: as well, right exactly. Yeah, I mean one great example
Speaker 1: of that is Brexit. Just across the plot. We do
Speaker 1: not want Brexit to happen again. And you can just
Speaker 1: imagine throughout history if we had referendums for all these
Speaker 1: big moral issues, how much like hateful law would be
Speaker 1: embedded into our state and federal constitutions. So it's definitely
Speaker 1: not an end all, be all, But in some cases,
Speaker 1: such as an abortion especially, you know, where so many
Speaker 1: people are against abortion restrictions, it does hold a lot
Speaker 1: of power. And maybe I can give you one example
Speaker 1: of that, which is in Ireland. So back in a
Speaker 1: lot of people in Ireland were getting kind of freaked
Speaker 1: out because and the rest of the world policies are
Speaker 1: becoming very liberal towards abortion and a lot of these
Speaker 1: Catholic leaders were like, no, we don't want that, Let's
Speaker 1: amend the constitution AIDS up right now, and they did. So.
Speaker 1: We can never quantify just the pain and suffering that
Speaker 1: came from that constitutional amendment, but what we do have
Speaker 1: was this one case that really overturned public opinion. It
Speaker 1: was a woman named Savita Halapa Never who lived in Ireland.
Speaker 1: She was admitted to the hospital seventeen weeks pregnant and
Speaker 1: she was basically having a miscarriage and her like she
Speaker 1: was getting infected. She was really suffering health wise, and
Speaker 1: her health was declining very fast. But because the doctors
Speaker 1: could still hear the fetal heartbeat, they couldn't help her
Speaker 1: at all. They couldn't just basically induce, all right, perform
Speaker 1: an abortion, even though they knew that it was already
Speaker 1: a miscarriage and that the prince he was lost, and
Speaker 1: so they were just she and her husband were raiding
Speaker 1: in the hospital for a few days, just in severe pain,
Speaker 1: and in the end she died because by the time
Speaker 1: the fetal heartbeat could be detected anymore, her body had
Speaker 1: been infected. And you know, this is such a tragic case.
Speaker 1: We talked about how people should be allowed to have
Speaker 1: abortions for whatever reason. Just the fact that you don't
Speaker 1: want a kid is simply enough. But when you hear
Speaker 1: about cases like this, it's like, fuck, this is so.
Speaker 1: Then there is a referendum in Ireland and there's this
Speaker 1: new wave of activism that really really surged up in
Speaker 1: efforts to repeal the Eighth Amendment, which was that one
Speaker 1: that banned abortion, and after a lot of campaigning, the
Speaker 1: amendment was repealed with the vote of sixty six percent.
Speaker 1: And this is a huge victory because if it was
Speaker 1: just up to elected representatives, maybe life of a fetus
Speaker 1: would still get priority over the life of her parents.
Speaker 1: It's like, I think it's just really the conversation in
Speaker 1: the U s. It's it's wild how much we are
Speaker 1: already kind of hearing the human cost of the jobs
Speaker 1: decision already, and where I think in the United States
Speaker 1: are always wondering what what will it take for people
Speaker 1: to actually understand what's at stake here, because it always
Speaker 1: it's sort of like this pattern of like, well, that's
Speaker 1: this other group, it couldn't possibly be me. And then
Speaker 1: even when there are stories that are real, people are
Speaker 1: like very quick to be like that couldn't have happened.
Speaker 1: That's not real. That's too horrific for me to believe.
Speaker 1: And I don't want my beliefs to align with a
Speaker 1: reality like that. But I think what is great and
Speaker 1: I think it was really heartening, like as is the
Speaker 1: case in Kansas, was the referendums, Like they they offer
Speaker 1: people an opportunity to voice their concern or their support
Speaker 1: for something, and a lot of the times it goes
Speaker 1: again sort of like the accepted wisdom where people were
Speaker 1: like Kansas is a red state, it's never going to happen.
Speaker 1: Where Meanwhile, when you really look, it's a very vital
Speaker 1: place for many people in the South and Midwest to
Speaker 1: have a or safe abortion access as well. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it It also helps us realize that there
Speaker 1: are these like talking points that come out of political parties,
Speaker 1: but there are certain things that are just accepted across
Speaker 1: the board where a majority of the millions of people
Speaker 1: that live here like no, no, no, I believe bodily
Speaker 1: autonomy is is like an inalienable right, or I believe
Speaker 1: that people should no matter who you want to marry,
Speaker 1: if you're happy and you are married, whatever you want
Speaker 1: to define that as please go ahead. But yeah, like
Speaker 1: I think to the point that we're sort of making
Speaker 1: here is is this a potential way to explore more
Speaker 1: ways for people to be able to support these kinds
Speaker 1: of broader issues that we all seem to agree on. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: because right if you think about the origin of our
Speaker 1: current political system, like we go back to the founding fathers,
Speaker 1: and basically they're saying, oh, anyone who's not a man,
Speaker 1: anyone who's not white, anyone who doesn't own property and
Speaker 1: isn't educated shouldn't have a voice, Like those are the
Speaker 1: people who we need to somehow suppressed, and that's why
Speaker 1: they chose the elected representative system versus direct democracy, which
Speaker 1: would be more of a referendum type. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can have direct democracy here, because then they'll be
Speaker 1: like what, they don't like being poor and exploited and
Speaker 1: want better outcomes for themselves and their families. Can't do
Speaker 1: that here. We'll Tricia, thank you so much for stopping
Speaker 1: by with some more reporting and opening our eyes a
Speaker 1: little bit further. Always appreciate you and thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Oh of course, of course. Well, and we'll be right
Speaker 1: back to talk a little bit about the magadating scene
Speaker 1: after this, and we're back. Republicans dating not a thing. Really.
Speaker 1: I guess if you are a really sad fascist this
Speaker 1: week and you are just dead is stated by the
Speaker 1: news that law enforcement occasionally comes for rich white people
Speaker 1: and you're single, this week may not be all bad actually,
Speaker 1: because that's right, as if no one fucking asked because
Speaker 1: they didn't. Former White House Press Secretary Kaylee McInnis sister. Okay, Ryan,
Speaker 1: she's out here. You sell it, there we are you know,
Speaker 1: Look it's I got seven ends because it's like in
Speaker 1: this started utter Ryan, she's she's at her hawking a
Speaker 1: new product for Single magazine. And we've we saw this
Speaker 1: tease before because Peter Teal was investing in this dating
Speaker 1: platform called the Right Stuff, you know, because all of
Speaker 1: us are down with new kids on the block and
Speaker 1: we can get that cool reference. But he's backing it.
Speaker 1: But yes, this is like so Peter Teel has been
Speaker 1: in testing in this and this is another app in
Speaker 1: a long line of failed dating apps that's tailored to biggots.
Speaker 1: And we've talked, we talked about this every time they
Speaker 1: come up. I remember in the beginnings when the Trump
Speaker 1: administration first began. There were all these like pieces that
Speaker 1: were like what it's like to be a Republican trying
Speaker 1: to date in the belt Way. Those are my favorite
Speaker 1: genre though, because then they would say and then the
Speaker 1: person saw on you know, on Tinder or whatever that I,
Speaker 1: I'm a republic are working the Trump administration and they
Speaker 1: dumped me and I was like, yeah, that is a joy.
Speaker 1: That was joyful. They didn't like my Twitter bio said
Speaker 1: Mexicans are bad and they took a problem with that
Speaker 1: and they said I'm racist. I don't understand. I deserve
Speaker 1: to be loved too, even though my whole personality is
Speaker 1: built on dehumanizing others. But there was this one one
Speaker 1: app called writer okay R I g h d E R.
Speaker 1: And this their tagline was, quote when you're tired of
Speaker 1: it and swiped left. It's getting when you're tired of
Speaker 1: getting swiped left on for your political beliefs, use writer okay.
Speaker 1: And then there was Donald Daters if you're yes. The
Speaker 1: founder said this the need that they said, quote, I
Speaker 1: saw a real need for this. People who go on
Speaker 1: the mainstream maps, they're told if you're a Trump supporter,
Speaker 1: swipe left. That p apps data got fucking hacked like
Speaker 1: three days after launching, and it was a total embarrassment.
Speaker 1: If you look these accounts, like their twitters haven't they
Speaker 1: haven't been active since like twenty nineteen. So it's it's
Speaker 1: definitely a struggle out there for for the racists, and
Speaker 1: you know, I don't feel for them, but I understand
Speaker 1: the investment opportunity for people like Peter, but it's just
Speaker 1: it's very definitely hard in this dating scene. And it's again,
Speaker 1: like I'm saying, we were all about vibes. It's almost
Speaker 1: like when your whole identity is like these are not
Speaker 1: these are non humans. That's not a that's not a
Speaker 1: fuck able vibe. I'm sorry, very very unfuckable. And I
Speaker 1: get other people might be like I am also backwards
Speaker 1: and hate, but I'm a feeling those couples aren't really
Speaker 1: gonna I don't think of a relationship, deep connection. There yeah,
Speaker 1: more underlying issues. I just wish them nothing, like I
Speaker 1: feel like they shouldn't be allowed to buy Apple products.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be like whenever I see like a republic,
Speaker 1: like like Ivanka wearing an Apple watch, and like you
Speaker 1: shouldn't be allowed to have nice things. I just feel
Speaker 1: like they should not be allowed to have anything. I
Speaker 1: have a very really rich fantasy about what happens and
Speaker 1: through punishment like turning all the Trump buildings into housing
Speaker 1: housing for HomeOS public housing, and all the and all
Speaker 1: the golf courses into parks and you know all that,
Speaker 1: they're just a very rich it's rich and you have
Speaker 1: to watch it all. Yeah, he has to watch it
Speaker 1: all from jail. But that that being said, I wish
Speaker 1: I I wish them no love and no And I
Speaker 1: also I'm assuming that has a horrible design interface and
Speaker 1: somehow is like a terrible experience. Uh, the UI looks
Speaker 1: pretty dope. You want to know how? I know because
Speaker 1: I'm watching the promo video and you're going to have
Speaker 1: to watch a part of it too. Right now listening
Speaker 1: because here's Ryan mcinnaney, Ryan with nine end out here. Uh,
Speaker 1: this is like kind of like a chopped up version
Speaker 1: of the acting what's happening? Check it is like I
Speaker 1: don't know what you what do you call that? Like
Speaker 1: a bite? Yeah? Anyway, check her out. And this is
Speaker 1: her kind of giving you a pitch on why you
Speaker 1: should go to hate duration the data Apple. Guys. I'm Ryan,
Speaker 1: I've got to tell you about something. I am so
Speaker 1: excited to announce dating app for all of us conservatives.
Speaker 1: It's called The Right Stuffs, launching this September. Most about
Speaker 1: it is to invite only, not just anyone can join.
Speaker 1: First of all, it's pretty used. This looks like a
Speaker 1: tampon that don't never have toadies all get premium subscriptions.
Speaker 1: Were simply inviting a couple of friends, gentlemen. If you
Speaker 1: want access to premium, that's on you. That's those are
Speaker 1: the only two options, ladies and gentlemen getting into the
Speaker 1: right date. That's a stock photo. I did a Google
Speaker 1: in the search by building your perfect profile no pronouns necessary. Okay.
Speaker 1: Also it's access to premium. But euphemism, sexy euphemism. I
Speaker 1: like how they run it like a shitty nightclub where
Speaker 1: it's like ladies in free before nine as long as
Speaker 1: the ratios are good fellas thirst outside and then come
Speaker 1: in and be insufferable, because the discrepancy between who pays
Speaker 1: and who doesn't is only adding to your hatred of women.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Here's my here's my thing about things
Speaker 1: like this. It's like a question, why why aren't they embarrassed? Like,
Speaker 1: why is this the thing that that that people are
Speaker 1: doing publicly because they're so proud of being you have
Speaker 1: to lean into You have to lean into it, right,
Speaker 1: because you will never see like I mean, you see
Speaker 1: Republicans they do the victim thing when it serves them,
Speaker 1: but in this instance they can't just say this is
Speaker 1: so fucked up. Just because all of my values don't
Speaker 1: align with a majority of other people out there looking
Speaker 1: for romantic partner doesn't mean I have to suffer. And
Speaker 1: it's easier to say, guess what, we're all pieces of ship,
Speaker 1: and that's fine. Welcome the piece of ship data dot com. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're like, everyone's a piece of ship, so you're never
Speaker 1: gonna have to hear about why you're a piece of ship.
Speaker 1: That's like the whole you know, safe space mentality of this.
Speaker 1: It's just to lean into it and say, nothing's wrong
Speaker 1: with what we believe. But also I also feel like
Speaker 1: in our you know, I have friends who so we're
Speaker 1: in New York, in l A, friends outside of Chicago, say,
Speaker 1: who are trying to date? And every ten everybody who
Speaker 1: pops up is like, and I wish there was a
Speaker 1: no VAX's sticker you could have or they're like somebody
Speaker 1: and like a I can't say problematic shirts of yeah
Speaker 1: and all like it's all like completely conservative and he's
Speaker 1: actually struggling to find somebody who's not like that. So
Speaker 1: I think it's it's so contextual too. It's this victimization piece,
Speaker 1: which is that's the part where I'm like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: sure you could find people in the normal setting if
Speaker 1: you weren't a piece of ship the recent thing. Like again,
Speaker 1: I just I feel like it's it shouldn't be a
Speaker 1: surprise to you. If your worldview is some people don't
Speaker 1: deserve shit, why you live in a reality where you're
Speaker 1: experiencing some kind of deficit of human attention. I don't know.
Speaker 1: That might have something to do with on a subconscious level.
Speaker 1: I'm not a fucking guru, but I just love but
Speaker 1: like this idea though with like conservatives. Now, like you know,
Speaker 1: we saw a tough guy, Ted Cruisemen, like and you
Speaker 1: know what my pronouns are the kiss my ass kiss
Speaker 1: my mass okay, asshole. Let me guess you're so fucking
Speaker 1: secure in your fucking masculinity. I'm I can only imagine
Speaker 1: because pronouns don't exist, how one of these maga patriot
Speaker 1: fuck wads would be if everyone miss gendered them with
Speaker 1: the wrong pronouns. If that would but they'd be like,
Speaker 1: and that's fine, man, because that doesn't matter, because like
Speaker 1: fun pronouns like okay, Because I would imagine with your
Speaker 1: very heteronormative worldview that if someone referred to you as, oh,
Speaker 1: she's mad, over and over, are you gonna be like,
Speaker 1: that's fine. I don't care. That doesn't that that completely
Speaker 1: doesn't even matter to me. That's not part of my
Speaker 1: identity at all, because I don't even know what a
Speaker 1: pronoun is linguistically um um do you think that there
Speaker 1: are any people on RAN? And then then I already
Speaker 1: forgot the name Rhannon And then its app yeah hanging
Speaker 1: in tough that are not white? No, the one test
Speaker 1: person they had, but I believe is he not openly gay?
Speaker 1: Or is he not get about Christian Walker's I'm not avaculate,
Speaker 1: But either way, I'm not sure who is going to
Speaker 1: be on that app. I mean, I'm sure they're Look,
Speaker 1: there are plenty of as I've seen it myself, plenty
Speaker 1: of people with self consuming, inward focused white supremacy that
Speaker 1: takes over their mind so they may be there and
Speaker 1: you know that's like the coolest person on the app
Speaker 1: access and not if they have a penis Sorry, I
Speaker 1: got to pay with all the other losers. But I
Speaker 1: think what's another interesting thing is there's analysis to about
Speaker 1: dating how it's generally it's skewing more like men. They're
Speaker 1: going to be more lonely men as just like if
Speaker 1: you're looking very near early like systems, but wasn't because
Speaker 1: your standards are women's standards are going up, or just
Speaker 1: have like more realistic boundaries, like not willing to put
Speaker 1: up with bullshit. So then there's like men who are
Speaker 1: like I was raised, like fucking with nose, skills of
Speaker 1: self awareness. Also, the world is changing around me. Maybe
Speaker 1: I can go to my app called cave person dot com. Right,
Speaker 1: we have less shitty dudes thumbs thumbs way up. The
Speaker 1: problem with that though, is that I mean, so, I'm
Speaker 1: reading a book right now as a recognos. It's called
Speaker 1: The Men and it Is. It came out earlier this year,
Speaker 1: and um, I believe it's Sandra Newman new House. I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry. I'll look it up some I can. I will.
Speaker 1: I'll have it by the end of this but um,
Speaker 1: it's uh sci fi about if um, all the men
Speaker 1: disappeared one day, every single person with a Y chromosome
Speaker 1: disappeared in the same moment from the face of the earth.
Speaker 1: And also like pregnancy has disappeared, and like all all
Speaker 1: why chromosomes disappeared, shout out the X six. Um. But
Speaker 1: it's like the idea that all of these shitty men
Speaker 1: go away is a great one, except the problem is
Speaker 1: that in our world, the shitty men don't go away.
Speaker 1: They like band together and because become triply shitty and
Speaker 1: violent everybody else. We gotta like fix the shitty men.
Speaker 1: But if they're on caveman dot com, then how do
Speaker 1: we get to them caveman dot com? Well, hopefully then
Speaker 1: their technologies won't evolve past sticks and stones. They'll be
Speaker 1: They'll be frightened to death at the side of a
Speaker 1: fucking flashlight. And that's how we beat them. I'll strike
Speaker 1: a match. Yeah, exactly, exactly. I'm a demon that you
Speaker 1: heard about your cave stories. Uh. Well, Amy and Becca,
