0:00

Mustache. Thanks. I

0:03

didn't even notice. Looking good. All

0:09

right, guys. Much to talk about today. Dylan

0:11

Mulvaney has won a Streamy Award for Breakout

0:14

Creator. Snow White is now going to

0:16

be delayed, it seems. Allegedly,

0:19

Marcia Gay Harden has three kids that

0:22

are existing all over the spectrum

0:24

of sexual orientation. And

0:26

Meghan Markle might be back on the big screen.

0:29

Let's talk about it.

0:44

What's up, guys, and happy Monday.

0:46

How are you guys doing? Drop it down in the chat

0:49

below. As always, I'm happy to be

0:51

here. Taylor is in Nashville.

0:53

What's up? Happy Monday. And

0:55

Cam is in the producer's bay. I guess

0:58

I said I'm like, Miss Happy. Today,

1:01

we're going to be talking about the annual Streamy's

1:03

that happens. For those of you who don't know what the Streamy's

1:05

awards are, they are awards

1:08

for, you guessed it, streamers

1:10

on any given platform. And

1:13

it's typically, I think, most associated

1:15

with YouTube content creators. But the

1:17

Streamy's has branched out and now

1:19

includes, you know, all different types of people from across

1:21

the spectrum. And most recently,

1:23

I think big TikTok creators are being

1:26

recognized at the Streamy awards.

1:28

Now,

1:29

you'll know this TikTok creator probably

1:31

goes by Dylan Mulvaney.

1:34

Whatever, you know, pronouns you want to use, I

1:36

guess. Put them down below in the chat.

1:39

And Dylan Mulvaney rose

1:42

to fame and

1:44

admiration for some less

1:47

than admiration for others with his

1:49

days of girlhood series that he

1:51

posted on TikTok detailing his

1:54

life as a now self-identified

1:57

girl. Now, the days of

1:59

girlhood.

1:59

series started off with day

2:02

one being sort of a misogynistic

2:04

joke about what it means to be a woman. Dylan

2:07

stated that he said he was fine

2:09

when he wasn't fine, wrote a strongly worded letter to

2:11

a company and didn't end up sending it. You know,

2:13

those typical stereotypes. Bumped into the curb

2:15

a hundred times. I'm not sure that he said that, but

2:17

I'm just gonna throw it in there for giggles. Now

2:21

that series of course rose to prominence.

2:24

I did not hurt the race

2:26

of prominence to that series as we

2:28

were one in the first podcast to cover Dylan Mulvaney

2:30

and talk about the ins and outs of

2:33

the transgender movement on a platform like

2:35

TikTok. But now

2:37

Dylan's at the Streamy Awards having won

2:39

Breakout Creator. Let's watch

2:41

the clip.

2:43

Oh my god! Hi!

2:47

You know, I'm really shocked because

2:49

I thought the only award I would ever maybe win

2:51

was maybe a Tony Award, but now I'm

2:53

a musical theater gal with a Streamy!

2:57

Theater TikTok, we made it to the mainstream. 532

3:00

days ago I made a coming out video that turned

3:05

into my Days of Girlhood series

3:08

and my life has been changed

3:11

for the better. But on the flip

3:13

side there's also been an extreme amount

3:15

of transphobia and hate. And

3:17

I know that my community is feeling it and

3:20

I now know that even our allies are

3:22

feeling it. And I look around

3:24

this room and I just see so many amazing

3:27

allies that

3:27

have platforms and I think

3:29

allyship right now needs to look differently

3:32

and you need to support trans people

3:34

publicly and

3:37

proudly.

3:40

And

3:42

I think the trans community and

3:45

the creator community actually have something in

3:47

common and it's that people often underestimate

3:50

us. But I know that

3:52

we can stay optimistic about

3:55

just the future of transness in general because

3:57

if we can influence people to buy $22 Air

4:01

One smoothies. We can also do this.

4:04

I just, I love you so much. Thank you, thank

4:06

you, thank you. I'm gonna go have a beer and

4:08

I love ya.

4:12

Okay, you heard it here first

4:14

folks. I'm gonna try. I'm

4:16

gonna really try here. Let me just compose myself

4:19

for just a moment. Okay.

4:23

First of all, I just love the audacity

4:25

of like walking up there and being like, you know,

4:27

the war that I thought I was gonna win is a Tony, but

4:30

you know, we'll have the Streamy and that's really cool.

4:33

But I digress. We'll leave that for the side. There's

4:35

this thing with like winning awards in general.

4:37

It doesn't matter whether it's like the Tonys

4:40

or the Oscars, the Golden Globes or the Streamys

4:42

where people go and they get

4:45

their little trophy for the sake of today's

4:48

reiteration of this. Mine will be my air

4:50

conditioning

4:51

remote controller and they win their trophy

4:54

and they go, you know what?

4:56

Instead of just like thanking people for

4:58

appreciating the work I'm doing, I'm gonna

5:01

tell you guys what you need to do better.

5:03

And I'm gonna tell you guys what movements

5:05

you need to support or not support

5:08

and tell you guys how to be better

5:10

people. And the way that you can be better people is

5:13

supporting the trans community. Don't

5:15

mind that I've already like won

5:17

this massive award that a ton of other

5:20

trans women are dominating in

5:22

women's sports that they're winning like woman

5:24

of the year and getting courage in bravery

5:26

awards and all this other recognition

5:29

that biological women are now being set

5:31

aside for. Nevermind

5:33

that,

5:34

we need to do more because we

5:37

are in fact underestimated. And

5:39

to the point of being underestimated, I

5:42

mean, I just have to come out

5:44

and blatantly challenge the fact that they're underestimated.

5:47

If we were underestimating you guys, we

5:49

would think, you know what? Actually just compete against the

5:51

women.

5:52

You know, go over there. You hop in the swimming pool,

5:54

Leah Thomas,

5:55

go over and you know, fight female

5:57

UFC fighters if we were truly underestimating

5:59

you. No, we're not. We

6:02

in fact know what you're capable of and

6:04

the just complete and utter mass manipulation

6:08

That

6:08

this individual in particular has

6:11

managed to achieve. I Promise

6:14

you you will never be underestimated in what

6:16

it is that you can accomplish and the wool that

6:18

you can pull over people's eyes through

6:20

a movement like this

6:22

So, you know, I

6:25

saw this coming. It's going to continue to happen I

6:28

will bet money right now that

6:30

a Tony is in the future for

6:32

Dylan Mulvaney and that is in the cards if

6:35

not, you know a whole egot

6:38

for having come out as a trans

6:40

girl because Identifying as a woman was

6:42

too scary I'll

6:45

call it now. There are many more awards in the future

6:48

for Dylan Mulvaney many more controversies in the

6:50

future for Dylan Mulvaney and

6:52

You know, we're bringing about we're talking about

6:54

it So it's it's creating more of

6:56

an audience and with more of an audience comes

6:59

more support for this sort of stuff So a

7:01

streamy

7:02

is just the beginning ladies and gentlemen. I Know

7:06

does he almost deserve props for figuring

7:08

out of a life hack away around

7:11

the system to Since if you're

7:13

unable to earn the Tony outright

7:16

by being a straightforward performer

7:18

now you can just identify as a woman

7:21

and all of a sudden you get all this attention and everything and

7:23

you get all The awards that and the attention that you've

7:26

been craving for so long so, I mean,

7:28

maybe it's it's kudos

7:31

to Dylan for figuring out what society

7:33

is willing to accommodate these days and to Allow

7:35

you know, we've seen it in in sports and

7:38

in other arenas

7:40

where the you can win the woman of

7:42

the year or athlete of the year award and just

7:45

by The courage award we saw with Caitlyn

7:47

Jenner the OG Just by you know

7:49

choosing to identify as a woman So now

7:51

it's not about whatever domain you're in like,

7:53

you know, we're in the YouTube creator community

7:56

we're in that world and when

7:58

I first heard about this that Dylan won the

8:00

breakout award for this year. It was like, wasn't

8:03

his whole shtick, didn't that emerge like a little

8:05

over a year ago, has he been doing some sort of

8:07

really new creative initiative that's

8:09

been pushing the bounds of, you know, new

8:11

content or doing something just inherently

8:15

interesting or amazing? No, he's just

8:17

been doing his shtick for a while and people decided

8:19

to, you know, give him the nod for this. And

8:21

that comes at the expense of other people like Mr. Beast is

8:23

out there curing blindness and stuff. And, you know,

8:25

but no, you, you were so stunning and brave to do this.

8:27

So I don't know. Definitely rubs me the

8:29

wrong

8:29

way. The virtue signal never stops. That's

8:32

that's what I know for sure on this one. And

8:34

I'm curious to see just how far

8:36

it goes. But it's so interesting

8:39

to tell people whilst winning an award publicly

8:42

for what you've done as a creator,

8:45

that they need to do more publicly as

8:47

trans-atlites. I'm like, what more

8:50

do you want than being on the stage right

8:52

now holding an award for what you've done

8:54

as, you know, a trans activist

8:56

and what you've done for content creation as

8:59

the creator

9:00

of Days of Girlhood? What more public

9:03

association acknowledgement

9:05

of the movement could you possibly

9:07

need?

9:08

I guess it's a Tony.

9:10

I guess it's a Grammy. I guess the whole

9:12

EGOT is what needs to happen

9:14

in order for this to come

9:16

to fruition. And if Dylan

9:19

Mulvaney was not famous for this, would have been

9:21

famous for something else. I mean, let's call it right now.

9:23

If you look through Dylan's history

9:25

of just like being on TV,

9:28

the characters, the personas, the Broadway musical

9:30

theater stuff, there was no way in hell

9:32

Dylan was not going to be a famous, you know,

9:34

person at some point. This is what

9:37

Dylan's been striving for his entire

9:39

existence.

9:40

So I mean,

9:42

kudos, he did. He found he found the hack. He

9:44

found the hack. Gotta give it to him. I'm

9:46

nearly convinced it started out with a joke as

9:49

a joke with how truly misogynistic

9:52

the first day of girlhood was

9:54

on TikTok. I mean, with all the stereotypes

9:56

that were being thrown as to

9:58

what he's doing now that he identified. as a girl

10:01

truly convinced it's like a joke that just like

10:03

sparked fire. And

10:06

he just realized that there was something

10:08

in it, but you can't say that. So strike

10:10

that from the record. That's just

10:13

blatant transphobia, Amala. You're not allowed to say

10:15

any of those things. And you deserve to now

10:17

be review bombed on your podcast and get lots of hate

10:19

comments and death threats and all of the above, as we

10:22

have certainly never seen before from Dylan's

10:24

audience, but you know, they'd be justified if they did.

10:26

Yeah, dude. I did

10:28

not intend to make Dylan cry when we initially

10:31

made the podcast about Dylan Mulvaney and

10:33

what was happening on TikTok. It did happen to be

10:35

a consequence of creating that TikTok.

10:38

How real that consequence actually was, we

10:40

don't know. Dylan is,

10:43

as he stated himself, a musical theater

10:45

actor. How much of that acting is

10:47

still present in today's time?

10:50

You be the judge of that.

10:53

But yeah, we got many storm

10:55

hate comment after that original

10:58

podcast came out. And I'm still here,

11:00

baby.

11:01

Still here. By the way, we haven't plugged this

11:03

in a while, but our reviews are like,

11:06

they've trended more and more positive since

11:09

the great review bomb of 2021 or whenever

11:11

that was by Dylan's fans. But if

11:13

you guys have a second, go on Spotify, Apple Podcasts,

11:15

and give us five star review to help dig us out

11:18

of that hole because there were a lot of nasty, hateful,

11:20

one star reviews of people who had never actually watched the show,

11:22

but saw Dylan cry and came to tell

11:24

us that we're transphobes.

11:25

Help us out guys. Help us out

11:27

guys. Send us a good review. Now

11:31

speaking of transgenderism, identifying

11:33

on the spectrum, you'll recognize

11:36

this actress maybe, Marsha Gay Harden. I

11:38

believe she's an Academy Award winner. Now

11:40

this video is resurfaced. It's actually from May of

11:42

this year, but we've been talking about this

11:45

whole celebrity in particular

11:47

trend of having kids that identify

11:50

as non-binary or fluid or transgender

11:52

and the celebrities

11:54

dressing them up

11:55

as said gender. Angelina

11:58

Jolie has done it. Charlize

12:00

Theron has done it, Megan Fox

12:02

has done it. The list goes on, but

12:05

we're gonna add Marcia Gay Harden

12:07

to the list. Here's a clip

12:10

of her talking about her children. What drives

12:12

me is my children are all queer. My eldest

12:14

child's non-binary, my son is gay, my

12:16

youngest is fluid, and they're my kids,

12:21

and they teach me every day.

12:23

Absolutely. What

12:27

are the odds? What are the

12:29

odds? Something like this

12:32

could happen. I'm really trying

12:34

to break down,

12:37

just specifically, what are

12:39

the odds? If you think about how

12:41

many kids identify as gay,

12:44

I'm sure the number's gonna be up there. We

12:47

could even say, I'll be super generous

12:49

and say like,

12:52

let's say one in 30 kids.

12:54

I have some numbers from Jordan Peterson, by the way. He quote

12:57

tweeted this and said so. I

12:59

don't know where he's getting these, but if you

13:01

think he's credible as a licensed psychologist,

13:04

licensed for now, we don't know if Canada's gonna take

13:06

away his license if he doesn't do his social media sensitivity

13:08

training. But here's what he put it at. He

13:12

said for having a gay child, it's one out

13:14

of 50. For having a non-binary,

13:17

he put out one out of 3,000. For

13:19

gender fluid, one out of 3,000 as well. Someone

13:22

responding to him, calculate that, and it's one out of 450 million.

13:26

So her odds are one out of 450 million,

13:29

if the math is correct, to have this

13:31

combination of children and Marsha

13:34

Gay Harden

13:35

just struck. The lightning

13:37

struck and she happens to have a

13:39

non-binary child, a gay

13:41

child, and also a fluid child.

13:44

And it just so happened. Born

13:46

that way, that's how it happened. Or,

13:49

hear me out, or could it be that

13:52

you as a parent are predisposing your children

13:54

to this sort of ideology at

13:57

a young age?

13:59

and maybe ushering them down

14:02

the pipeline of identifying as

14:04

non-binary and fluid and all these other

14:06

things Could it possibly be that because

14:08

now that we have all of these other celebrity

14:11

mothers Who have sons

14:13

dressing up as girls girls dressing up as boys.

14:16

How is it? That

14:18

their odds are all mixing together

14:20

and they're all ending up in this state of

14:22

leftist celebrity where all of their kids

14:24

also happen to be

14:26

doing the same thing I'm

14:29

having trouble making

14:31

the math math

14:34

Well, we did the math but yeah, it's it's

14:36

not mathing with with reality But maybe she's

14:39

just this is just a beautiful lucky coincidence

14:41

of nature and she's just blessed to have these Children

14:43

that are you know born inherently across the

14:46

gender spectrum with no influence whatsoever

14:48

from social contagion or the parents I mean, that's no

14:51

I mean just as likely right it's

14:53

not but

14:54

And it's like you try to you

14:56

know delve into this a little bit further and go, you know Like

14:59

why is it so concentrated

15:01

in left-leaning areas? Geographically

15:03

like why is that a thing that's happening and

15:06

the argument that you always get in response

15:08

to that is oh It would be happening in conservative

15:11

areas if they weren't so transphobic or

15:13

gender fluid phobic or non-binary phobic,

15:16

right? And it would be happening

15:18

at the very same rate Which they're

15:20

conflicting reports as to like how

15:23

many children are identifying

15:24

with this But some were saying like

15:26

out of Gen Z there was one in four Others

15:29

much higher than that there were some surveys

15:32

at college campuses that had upwards of like 25% of students

15:34

who were identifying

15:38

as Something other than the sex

15:40

they were assigned at birth as we're calling

15:42

it these days. So

15:45

please let Put

15:48

our thinking caps on because it doesn't make

15:51

sense that if you just you know

15:53

Like let the world run willy-nilly that

15:55

we would have Such vast

15:58

numbers of individuals identifying

15:59

as non-binary, gender

16:02

fluid, you know, gender

16:04

queer, all of these different identities

16:07

that you can now take on as an individual.

16:10

And I just don't think that

16:12

Marsha Gay Harden is

16:14

an exception

16:16

to

16:17

that general knowledge that I, in common

16:20

sense, that I think we all have.

16:22

But you guys let me know.

16:24

It's the same energy of the short that

16:26

we just posted with the parent who

16:28

was sitting with her child who's in the process

16:31

of transitioning and is on hormones

16:33

and she's like, four weeks on testosterone,

16:35

you wanna give us your, you know, four weeks on

16:37

testosterone voice? And the child's just

16:39

like,

16:41

no, not yet. And it's

16:43

like this painfully awkward, like where the mom's clearly

16:46

kind of egging on this thing

16:49

happening. People talk about Mudchowsens by proxy,

16:52

but also reminds me of that Disney video that

16:54

we reacted to a while back. They had the leaked Disney

16:56

executives on the call and one

16:58

of the executives was talking about how she

17:01

had a pansexual daughter and,

17:03

you know, a queer and we

17:05

need more queer leads so that in our

17:07

Disney content, so that my children like

17:10

mine have representation, et cetera, same

17:12

energy. But that's the interesting breakdown is like how much

17:14

of this is social contagion from TikTok,

17:16

places like that, and then the influence of woke parents

17:19

who are just putting this down on their kids.

17:21

Yeah, and it's gonna be hard to ever

17:23

figure that out and really break

17:25

it down. But I think we all just have a general

17:28

feeling that this is exactly

17:30

what's happening. And we can recognize

17:33

that this exists at a rate

17:35

at which it's never existed before. And

17:38

we can say, oh, it's because people are getting educated

17:40

about it. It's because we're now having the discussion. Or

17:43

we can say, yeah, we are now having the

17:45

discussion, but that discussion is

17:47

being had in a harmful light

17:49

for young people that is bringing them

17:52

down this path of incongruence

17:54

with their self, or at least the feeling of incongruence

17:56

with their self. And that's mixing

17:59

with the geni-

18:00

with the general turbulence of youth and

18:03

like struggling to find out who you are. And

18:05

when you can just like slap a bandaid on that feeling

18:08

and say, well, now I identify as X, Y, and

18:10

Z and it makes you unique and special

18:12

and you get a free group of people

18:15

to now associate with, why wouldn't you do exactly

18:17

that? It makes total sense.

18:19

I got that free card when it came to being black

18:21

and female. And I was like, yoink, I'm gonna take

18:23

that. I'm gonna immediately make

18:25

this the complete like keystone

18:27

of who I am as an individual because

18:30

it gives me like free street cred, free group

18:32

of people to like associate with, a

18:34

free message to, you know, exploit

18:36

and use on other people. So why

18:39

not

18:40

take that up? Now, speaking

18:42

of messages of exploitation,

18:45

did you guys know that you were exploited in your youth

18:47

every single time you watched Snow White or any Disney

18:49

film because of the harmful depictions

18:51

of individuals of different races,

18:54

backgrounds, and women in particular? We

18:56

all know now, right?

18:58

Because Rachel Zegler made us aware of

19:00

how anti-feminist the original 1937 Snow White was.

19:04

And now

19:05

it seems as though Snow White is expected to

19:07

be delayed. Much like many

19:10

other movies and TVs that are joining the

19:12

list of delayed projects, Snow

19:14

White is

19:15

presumably going to be added. Now,

19:18

this was posted on DisneyPlusInformer.com.

19:21

It says the live action adaptation of Snow White is currently

19:23

scheduled to be released globally on March

19:25

22nd, 2024. But new information

19:27

has come to light to suggest the movie could be delayed.

19:30

In the latest edition of the Puck newsletter,

19:33

Matt Bologna, I

19:35

hope I said his last name right. That's

19:38

a rough one, disclosed that

19:40

the scheduled release for Snow White is likely

19:43

to change, stating that the project will almost

19:45

certainly move off of

19:47

that date. Now, he's a former

19:50

editor of the Hollywood Reporter and is seen to be a credible

19:53

source. And they think that this might be

19:55

a mixture of, of course, the SAG-AFTRA

19:57

strike that is happening right now.

19:59

and the general

20:03

rumblings about how the

20:05

movie's messaging might not be hitting

20:08

the mark. Now, if I were Disney, I

20:11

would be scraping through all of the

20:13

footage that we've already filmed of this movie

20:15

and trying to like puzzle piece together

20:17

a new way of

20:19

shooting this. I'm like, you

20:21

know, they might have taken the kiss out. Can we CGI

20:24

Rachel Zegler and the prince kissing so

20:26

we can go back to the original of what

20:28

we had? Can we, you

20:30

know, remake the little seven dwarfs

20:33

and photoshop them to be actors

20:36

with dwarfism so we can, you

20:39

know, fulfill that request on behalf

20:41

of the audience? I would be trying

20:43

to just hodgepodge this

20:45

whole movie back together, use some,

20:48

I don't know, AI editing tools if you can't get

20:50

a real editor, and bring

20:53

it back to just a semblance

20:55

of what the movie used to be. And

20:57

now they've got extra time due to this strike,

21:00

probably no workers, but a little bit

21:02

of time to marinate on how they can

21:05

repackage and remarket

21:08

this film. I think it's very

21:11

much needed. Yeah,

21:13

it's a good thing all these new technologies are emerging,

21:15

you know, to be able to re-do

21:18

parts of

21:20

films without actors with AI and whatnot. But

21:22

I don't really think that Disney's going to put

21:24

that to use this time around.

21:27

But, you know, one can dream that

21:29

they would just take this opportunity to

21:32

use this extra timeline to just re-engineer the film

21:34

from the ground up. Or another smart thing that they

21:36

could do would be to make like an AI

21:39

Rachel Zegler, deepfake Rachel

21:41

Zegler, and have her do a press conference where she's talking

21:43

about how grateful she is to have the opportunity

21:46

to bring this classic story to life and

21:48

what a humbling experience it is and how they

21:51

just want to be so true to the source material

21:54

and steward this opportunity to have one of Disney's

21:57

seminal classic films just

21:59

be brilliant.

21:59

brought into this new time and live action

22:02

and that they wouldn't dream of

22:04

manipulating the story or inserting

22:06

modern feminist girl boss themes or anything

22:09

like that they just wanna do. I mean,

22:11

maybe that'll be out there in the cards. Well, I'm not holding my breath

22:13

though.

22:13

You know what? If nobody's gonna work and they're all

22:15

on strike, hire us Disney. We

22:17

can work. We can do a PR miracle

22:20

for you guys right now. We can really turn things

22:22

around.

22:22

Which is so funny, right? Because it's

22:24

pretty patently obvious to, we

22:26

can say that in two seconds on this podcast and like

22:29

they would be so well received and the

22:31

energy behind this movie would be so like different

22:34

and they'd actually have a chance at not being a box office

22:36

failure. But they've put out, I looked at Disney

22:38

stock has been cratering in

22:40

recent

22:41

days and weeks. And I think it's been like

22:43

back to being flat almost over the past 10

22:46

years. So if you invested in Disney like 10

22:48

years ago, you'd have like a hundred dollars.

22:50

It would be like a hundred, $130 now. Whereas if you

22:52

invested in Tesla, that'd be like 2000. And

22:55

it's just because they clearly

22:57

have lost sight of being

23:00

focused on making good stories and lost

23:02

their connection to the audience and making

23:05

movies for the audience instead of making movies for

23:08

themselves or whatever their political

23:10

agendas might be.

23:11

Yeah, I mean, here's what their stock looks like. In 2021,

23:14

they were at around 170, 180 USD and

23:20

currently they're at $84. That's

23:24

wild, that's wild. And all of this

23:26

could really, if you just reinvigorated

23:28

the original message of Disney and that sort of

23:30

wonder and fairy tale that

23:33

was once there, maybe that would work

23:36

out a little bit and that would help

23:38

your overall image and your stock

23:40

prices, which I know

23:41

is what they're really concerned about at the end of the day.

23:44

Disney, every time they release a movie,

23:46

it seems now loses hundreds of

23:48

millions of dollars. So why not

23:51

just scrap the few hundreds of

23:53

millions you put into this one right now, run

23:55

it back, restart it. You could even

23:57

do a bare bones budget on this one. And so

23:59

one,

23:59

As long as you say, we've heard the audience,

24:02

we're gonna run it back and

24:04

we're going to stick to the original message. I

24:07

bet you'd have a

24:08

fantastic turnout. I bet you get

24:10

Barbie numbers on that. If you just decided

24:13

we're gonna actually listen to our audience for

24:15

just a moment. And you know what? We'll

24:18

eat the budget costs on this project

24:21

as they're gonna do in the box office anyways,

24:23

and we'll redo it because

24:26

it's crazy. The last eight

24:28

original Disney releases have lost millions

24:31

upon millions upon millions of dollars in

24:33

the box office.

24:34

So why not just take the hit on this one?

24:38

Why not fall in the sword for Snow

24:40

White? Because everybody feels the same

24:42

way. It's not just like conservative people who are like, I

24:44

don't really wanna watch this anymore. It's

24:46

actually left leaning individuals who

24:48

are like, yeah, you took it too

24:51

far. I actually really love Snow White and I really

24:53

would have loved that you just stick to the plot.

24:56

Remember what the story is.

24:58

Now, speaking of sticking to a plot

25:01

and really throwing some curve balls in there, I

25:03

don't know if any of you guys are Riverdale fans. I

25:06

started watching Riverdale when it first got

25:08

released and I believe it plays on the CW. And

25:12

I got through maybe half of the first season

25:14

and I was like, this show is not for me. They're

25:16

throwing too many elements in here. The writing

25:19

is, leaves

25:20

much to be desired. I

25:22

think they have gone off the rails.

25:24

They threw in like vampires and time travel

25:27

and supernatural stuff into this show

25:29

that I thought was just gonna be about these four friends

25:32

in high school. But they've

25:35

done a series finale and the series finale

25:37

of Riverdale with Betty and Jughead and

25:39

Archie and Veronica, who if you're familiar

25:42

with them, came from comics back in the

25:44

day.

25:45

They've ended up in a polyamorous

25:49

quadruple. Polycule, I think it's called. Polycule?

25:51

Is that what it's called? Wow, thank you for coming in with the

25:53

terminology You gotta stay up

25:56

on these, Amal. You don't wanna get canceled. Yeah, I was gonna call him

25:58

a quadruple. Ha ha ha.

25:59

That's probably a thing too honestly. That's

26:02

probably a thing too. Probably means something

26:05

totally different. But yeah, the four of these characters,

26:07

Betty, Jughead, Archie and Veronica, in

26:10

the series finale, it is revealed that they were

26:12

in a four person relationship,

26:14

a polycule, I guess is what we call

26:17

that. And this shocked much

26:19

of the audience, but not too much, because Riverdale is

26:22

known for throwing some crazy, you know, s

26:25

in their show anyways. But yeah,

26:27

the four of them end up in a relationship and you thought, you'd

26:29

think, you'd think

26:30

that the polyamory

26:32

slash open relationship slash

26:35

polycule, throuple community as

26:38

we know them these days. So crazy to think

26:40

that that's a community, but you'd think that they'd

26:42

be over the moon, right? This is finally

26:45

some mainstream representation

26:48

of polyamorous relationships, but

26:50

no,

26:51

no, no, no, no, no. Because apparently

26:53

Riverdale did not do it correctly. And

26:56

here's a statement from a polyamory

26:58

organization, which I did not know existed called

27:01

open. And I wonder why it's called open.

27:04

But

27:05

they say, quote, it's frustrating that

27:07

Riverdale used its characters' non-monogamous

27:09

relationship as a shocking twist, rather

27:12

than engaging with an authentic portrayal

27:14

of non-monogamy as simply being part

27:17

of people's identities. They

27:19

go on to say, we didn't see or hear

27:21

anything about why these characters practice

27:23

non-monogamy, what it means for them. The

27:25

substance of their relationship agreements and

27:28

communication practices, or

27:30

any of the other underlying motivations

27:32

and work that makes relationships

27:34

of any type

27:35

function.

27:37

So the poly community was pissed. Or

27:40

at least this spokesperson of

27:43

this polyamory organization was

27:45

not happy with the polyamorous

27:48

representation in Riverdale. I'm

27:51

so sorry, like what were they supposed to do? Were

27:53

they supposed to go through a whole scene where they like talk about

27:55

the contractual agreement that is their relationship

27:58

and all the inner workings and they have a therapist.

27:59

precession about what they're gonna do if

28:02

one gets jealous of the other or if Jughead

28:05

and Archie are making out when Veronica

28:07

and Betty aren't there.

28:10

I can't deal with this. I can't.

28:13

I can't. And then you wonder like you

28:16

know these actors and the writers

28:18

all of this like protesting and

28:21

you know picket signing and you know striking

28:24

is happening in the background.

28:26

If this is the writing that you are leaving behind by

28:28

striking don't return. Just

28:30

don't just call it a quits. Just take off your

28:33

Birkenstocks go home and

28:35

you know watch some old

28:37

classic timeless films watch

28:39

the 1937 version of Snow White and

28:41

see where we went wrong and then return

28:44

you know and maybe you'll return to higher pay

28:46

and better better work and

28:49

output because

28:49

one I just don't

28:52

understand why they decided to go in the direction of a

28:54

polyamorous relationship for these four individuals. Maybe

28:56

it was just for shock factor and maybe the

28:59

open polyamory organization representative

29:02

is actually correct

29:04

in calling them out. Yeah,

29:07

first of all a clown world

29:09

second of all I think I might

29:11

be on the side of the organization

29:13

here you know it's like our sexual

29:15

identity is not your plot twist type of

29:18

energy. It has the same

29:20

energy as when like JK Rowling

29:22

was like oh by the way Dumbledore is gay after the

29:24

books are out and everything. It's like okay,

29:27

you know that would it's like that wasn't

29:29

something that you wrote into the character. It feels

29:31

like you're just trying to slap a virtue signaling band-aid

29:34

onto something that was otherwise you

29:36

know a story in and of itself and

29:39

so if you're going

29:39

to represent this community or

29:41

whatever you should do it in a way that is actually relevant

29:43

to the story in the plot and not just like slap it

29:46

on in the last second. So I can see where they're coming

29:48

from if that's you know where well if

29:50

that's your lifestyle and that you know you care

29:52

about how you're being represented. You don't want to just be this

29:55

plot twist or this lazy to your point

29:57

writing thing at the last second to kind

29:59

of just, you know, chin up

30:02

the excitement at the end of the series. So

30:04

I don't know. I think I side with them a little bit.

30:06

If you know Riverdale though, you know they're never

30:09

putting in anything that's relevant to the plot in

30:11

this show. They

30:13

are never doing anything that's- I don't know Riverdale's field disclosure.

30:16

They're never putting in anything that's relevant to the plot.

30:19

It's always these like random

30:21

twists and turns that make absolutely no sense.

30:23

And Salilah Queets about, you know, the joy

30:26

of playing football. Anyways, I'm not gonna

30:28

get into all the Riverdale memes, but

30:30

I think art is art. If somebody

30:33

wants to put in whatever it is that they want in

30:35

their show, they have full right to do it. You

30:37

as like a member of said

30:39

community have no right to like come

30:41

back and tell them you didn't represent me correctly.

30:45

What if their goal is not to represent you correctly?

30:47

What if they actually don't care about representing

30:50

you correctly? Now you can call them out for it

30:52

and say, hey, as a polyamorous individual,

30:55

I wish that this was stated in your show, but

30:58

they have no obligation to

31:01

do that for you in their show,

31:04

creating their shocking twist of four

31:06

people

31:07

being in a relationship together. I

31:09

just don't.

31:11

Is this gonna become a mainstream thing where it's like,

31:13

we're gonna start seeing polyamorous relationships

31:15

in our

31:16

fictional shows like this? Is

31:19

it? I don't know.

31:21

Be for real guys. I

31:24

don't think we're far away from

31:26

more, you know, as

31:28

culture goes in that direction, I don't think it'll be outlandish.

31:31

As we're seeing, if you like you said earlier,

31:34

40% of Gen Z identifies as something other than, you

31:36

know, cis, straight, whatever.

31:39

In the world that's like that, then

31:42

I don't think it'd be a surprise to see more different

31:44

identities and all that type of stuff shown in

31:47

films because I guess that would be more

31:49

true to reality. But architect criticism,

31:51

and I think to your point of why until

31:53

this point, writing

31:55

has generally excluded polycules

31:58

from representation in films.

31:59

is because most people

32:02

don't live like that and can't relate to

32:04

it. And it's a foreign thing

32:06

that would be deemed to be something that is

32:08

better fits a, the

32:11

better fits the world we're living in as a dramatic

32:13

plot twist than something that is actually a

32:15

practical, normal way of living that

32:18

people can relate to. And like we

32:20

talked about earlier with Snow White, like it's the job

32:22

of writers to have a connection to the audience and

32:24

to write things that resonate with them, that portray

32:26

reality in a believable, somewhat believable

32:29

way. And that that's entertaining and that

32:31

rings true or rings familiar

32:33

in some way when you're watching it. So in that regard, I side with you

32:36

in that, in

32:39

that, you know, maybe this is a little bit

32:42

overreaction from these people.

32:44

Yeah. I feel like when you used to see

32:46

polycules or thruples, it

32:48

would be like when I, when I swipe

32:51

the wrong way on Snapchat and suddenly I'm watching

32:53

those like discovery stories about

32:55

like these three really strange

32:58

individuals who like live in the same

33:00

house. And we used to collectively look

33:02

at stories like this where it's like,

33:04

we're a, we're a throuple, we're a polycule

33:07

or like our kids have three

33:09

dads. And we used to be like, that is not

33:11

healthy. Nor is it something

33:13

that we

33:14

should as a society start

33:16

pedestalizing and saying is a good

33:19

thing. Now I'm not saying that Riverdale has

33:21

done that.

33:21

To be honest, I have not watched the series

33:24

finale. I have no intention of watching

33:26

it. I did watch somebody break it down, but

33:30

let's please not start making

33:32

this a thing that we start to pedestalize.

33:34

And I wouldn't put it,

33:36

I wouldn't put it, you know, past us, right? We,

33:38

we are starting to give

33:40

awards to some

33:42

of the craziest stuff. I never thought people were

33:44

going to get awards for like identifying

33:47

as whatever gender you want or being non-binary

33:49

or like how many like Pokemon,

33:51

uh, non-binary kids can you

33:53

collect, right? Gotta catch them all. If

33:57

it starts going on with the polycules, if I start

33:59

seeing the people that I used to see on my

34:02

Snapchat, random story, discovery,

34:04

you know, things.

34:06

And that starts to be something that we're pushing forward.

34:10

I don't know what I'm gonna do. I

34:12

don't know. One

34:15

last thought on believability here, by the way. Can

34:18

we just acknowledge that generally speaking,

34:21

when you see people that are involved in these

34:23

dramatically

34:24

different sort of lifestyles on

34:27

TikTok sharing about, that's how I knew, someone asked in

34:29

the chat, like, how did you know about polycule so fast?

34:31

I'm like, I knew because we have reacted to some of these crazy

34:33

videos of people explaining their polycule. Can

34:36

we just acknowledge that the people

34:38

who are engaged in those types of alternative

34:41

lifestyles are by and large, not as like

34:43

attractive and good looking

34:45

as the people that we're seeing in these major Hollywood

34:47

productions. It's usually different sort

34:50

of representation. So that's another just

34:53

stretch of believability that we have

34:55

to get over.

34:55

I agree. I do concur,

34:57

doctor. That is exactly what

34:59

is happening. And I don't know how to stop

35:02

it, but I want to put a stop to it. Now,

35:07

back into our Hollywood talks

35:09

and movies and TV shows that may be coming

35:12

out, Meghan Markle

35:13

is apparently in talks with big name directors

35:16

for an acting comeback and who

35:19

thinks Oscars might be in

35:21

her future. You know Meghan Markle

35:23

for her marriage to

35:26

a one Prince Harry and their

35:28

whole, we want privacy thing

35:30

that happened that South Park ended up

35:32

covering their worldwide privacy tour.

35:36

And now she might be returning to the big screen.

35:38

Most notably, she played Rachel in Suits, which

35:42

y'all, I tried, okay, Suits was put

35:44

on Netflix. My boyfriend's

35:46

been watching Suits. I tried to watch

35:48

it. I really tried. I tried to sit there and

35:50

get through a few episodes. That show is not

35:53

good.

35:54

And I'm not gonna listen to any of you who tell

35:56

me that that show is good. I have

35:58

a vendetta against this.

35:59

show now because it actually

36:02

irks me how many people think Suits

36:04

is a good show.

36:06

It's been going on around Twitter that this I

36:09

just sent you a tweet but this is from Variety says

36:11

the top three most streamed TV shows

36:13

recorded by Nielsen. Stranger

36:16

Things number one at 27.8 billion minutes number two Suits with 20.3 billion

36:18

minutes watch. Which

36:22

it blows my mind. How this

36:24

happened this explains everything

36:26

this explains everything wrong with

36:28

the current state of movies and TVs that

36:31

you guys like Suits. I

36:33

can't I can't I'm asking

36:34

the audience right now do you guys watch Suits? Don't

36:37

do it guys lie lie to me.

36:40

Some of you are saying it's lovely some of you are saying it's

36:42

it's horrible others are saying it's good. I just

36:45

don't see what you see if you think this movie

36:47

or that show is good and Meghan

36:49

Markle is no exception to that. But you

36:51

know what I know everybody's on

36:53

the we hate Meghan Markle train but

36:56

if she wants to return to movies

36:58

and TV and there's an audience for her

37:00

and a director that wants to cast her and put her in a

37:02

film

37:03

by all means go ahead and

37:05

do that. We all know she's better

37:08

at acting than being real anyways. I

37:11

had to say it.

37:12

I'm sorry. The redemption arc open

37:15

I guess you know like I just for whatever reason

37:17

you know the guy Ollie London popped in my

37:19

head he's he was the

37:22

trans Korean person who was clearly

37:24

just kind of like out there getting a bunch of attention and

37:26

he somehow has had the biggest career pit

37:28

of it I've ever seen and become this like

37:31

breaking news reporter who was

37:33

like is probably right leaning on Twitter and

37:36

he's always tweeting these videos with inside scoops

37:38

on things going on in the world and

37:40

it's kind of like he'll add a little commentary and it's

37:42

kind of like good stuff and you're like this is so weird

37:44

because I know you as this crazy kind of

37:46

troll person and then all of a sudden

37:48

you're doing something good so I don't know maybe Meghan Markle can

37:51

pull a rabbit out of a hat and redeem her

37:53

career.

37:53

You know what I'm here for it you

37:55

know people should be able to pursue

37:58

their passions or whatever and if Meghan Markle can do it. wants

38:00

to be in a dramatic film role and

38:02

she wants to go and win an Oscar, go

38:05

for it. You know, if people are there for that and

38:07

people want to see it, then by all means,

38:10

Meghan Markle, follow

38:13

your dreams, girl. You'll

38:16

be relieved to know, Amala, that 83%

38:18

of the audience says no, they don't watch or like suits

38:21

and only 17% do.

38:24

My people, thank you. Thank you

38:26

for congregating today for this, this

38:29

mission that I didn't know I was on until I watched

38:31

suits and saw how many people.

38:34

And I don't know if you guys are relying on the poll

38:36

just to, you know, placate, but

38:39

I appreciate it. I

38:42

appreciate it. I want suits off of Netflix.

38:47

Okay, lastly, this is not

38:49

in Hollywood news. I just want to show this video

38:52

that has been going viral on Twitter

38:54

in particular. And this is posted

38:56

by Jack Pozo. It says, tribal rangers

38:59

truck in Nevada,

39:01

rammed a climate change group, blocking

39:04

the road and mass arrested all

39:06

of them. Now we are no stranger to covering

39:09

some of these climate protests that are happening

39:11

all over the world. I was recently in London and there

39:13

were a lot of signs for the whole just

39:15

stop oil group who loves to

39:18

block traffic, annoy people, vandalize

39:21

buildings, you know, superglue

39:23

their hands to the concrete and

39:25

throw soup at paintings. A

39:28

lot of different stuff happening in the climate activism

39:30

group, probably one of the

39:32

looniest group of activists

39:34

that we have in terms of the lengths that they will go

39:36

to in order to promote their message. The

39:39

only interesting thing is that

39:41

their message is lost in the fact that they're

39:43

throwing soup at Van Gogh's paintings and super gluing

39:46

themselves to, you know,

39:48

the concrete. If I was trying,

39:50

and let's truly think about this, and

39:53

think about this yourself, put yourself in the place of

39:56

these people. If you were trying to convince people

39:58

of a world

39:59

catastrophe that would end

40:02

everybody's lives if there wasn't

40:04

something done about it, would you superglue

40:06

yourself to a busy road?

40:08

Would that be the way to do it? Is

40:10

that the way that you exclaim, I am not

40:13

crazy, please listen to my scientific

40:15

knowledge?

40:16

Super gluing yourself to a, you

40:18

know, to a road or a Starbucks

40:21

counter or to a Van Gogh painting? Probably

40:23

not.

40:24

In fact, I think it makes you look a little

40:27

crazier than you actually know

40:29

might be. I think it reinforces

40:31

the sort of mad scientist vibe that a lot of these

40:33

climate activists give off

40:36

and maybe they should sit

40:38

down

40:39

as a group, have a little

40:42

meeting where they talk about what is

40:44

the best way to

40:47

reinvigorate our messaging on this

40:49

and one of those ways that they

40:51

should strike off the list is

40:53

blocking busy roads.

40:56

Here's the clip. This

40:59

is a state round. Everybody

41:01

will be arrested if not. 30 seconds.

41:05

Send your leader to my vehicle. Let's talk. Get off

41:07

the fucking road. Language

41:14

warning. So

41:25

they're blocking the road. Look at all

41:27

those cars. Look at that entire road.

41:30

It goes all the way back and you can see

41:32

probably back into the mountains

41:35

of people just trying to cross the road. And

41:37

for who knows what, right? There's any number

41:40

of emergencies that could be happening on

41:42

this road that people know nothing about. I

41:45

think this in particular might have been people trying to

41:47

get to a music festival. I think for Burning Man,

41:50

but I'm not positive. Don't quote me on that.

41:53

But

41:53

mixed in people who are trying to,

41:56

I don't know, go smoke weed out in the middle of the desert

41:58

could be any. number

42:00

of emergencies or people trying to get somewhere

42:02

that they need to be. Just trying to get to work,

42:05

trying to get home, people who are trying to lead their lives and

42:07

you have the audacity to block the road. Did you

42:09

hear that? I'm gonna take

42:12

all of you

42:15

out.

42:18

You better move. Now

42:20

could this have been

42:32

handled maybe better on

42:34

behalf of the police? I'm inclined

42:37

to believe so. I think they could have

42:39

pulled their car up, got out, hitched the trailer

42:41

and moved it and been not of

42:43

damaged, presumably police property

42:46

in the

42:47

mix of all of this. But it

42:50

happened the way it happened. Get down,

42:56

down! Get down! On the

42:58

ground! All of you

43:00

on the ground!

43:03

Get on the ground! Okay then I

43:05

was like maybe he shouldn't

43:08

have pulled a gun

43:16

right

43:20

after getting out of the car but it does

43:22

seem like they were under the impression that somebody

43:24

here who was protesting did have a

43:26

weapon of some sort. So that

43:29

seems to be what was said in the background. But

43:31

you know what? If we're gonna go and block the

43:33

road like this, I get that we

43:35

allow for like

43:37

peaceful protests and all that

43:39

stuff. I think

43:41

the police officers could have handled this

43:43

a little bit better and just moving them in

43:46

probably would have been a safer manner. But

43:48

also I'm

43:50

glad that people could get

43:52

where they're going. I have to think and I

43:54

think we should all place ourselves in the position

43:57

of this being a movement that we do support.

43:59

And thinking of what is

44:02

movement that you would see people blocking the road and

44:04

not really think anything of it. The first thing that comes

44:06

to mind is the whole freedom convoy thing that happened

44:08

during COVID, particularly

44:11

in Canada, where roads were being blocked

44:13

by protesters, which presumably means

44:16

if somebody was in the state of an emergency and

44:18

needed to get somewhere, there would be people blocking

44:21

that way. Now

44:23

when I think back on that, I

44:25

was overwhelmed with the emotions

44:27

of, you know, they're doing the right thing,

44:29

they're protesting for something, they're using their right

44:31

to do that, but also, you probably shouldn't

44:34

block roads that allow people

44:36

to get to where they need to go, and presumably get medical

44:38

care or just go to work and do what they need to do. So

44:42

if

44:42

I said that back then, take it

44:44

back. I do in fact take it back. I

44:46

think you should be

44:49

moved out from the area. It doesn't mean that you cannot

44:51

still use your message. They can stand on the side of the road

44:53

and still hold their same signs and guess

44:55

what? More people are going to see it because

44:57

more people are going to be able to cross the damn road.

45:04

Whether or not you like the way that the police handled the

45:06

situation, I think overwhelmingly people

45:08

may have been overjoyed to see some climate

45:11

activists be pushed to the side. Sure.

45:14

And at the very least, it's a risk you take, right?

45:16

When you're doing this type of protest,

45:19

you're taking on the risk of being forcibly

45:21

removed from the road if you're going

45:23

out there and blocking it. You heard

45:25

homegirls screaming like, we're nonviolent,

45:27

we're nonviolent. And that's true, but just

45:31

because you're not hitting someone over the head

45:33

in your activism or throwing bricks at police

45:35

or something like that doesn't necessarily

45:37

mean that there's no harm being done by

45:40

your protest. And so like you said,

45:42

if a pregnant woman

45:44

is trying to get to the hospital to have her baby, if someone's

45:46

trying to catch their flight to something or to a funeral

45:48

or something like that, and if you're just because

45:50

of your selfishness, they're

45:52

not going to be able to

45:54

do that or get the care that they need or whatever it may be

45:57

if there's a medical emergency, et cetera. So

45:59

obviously, it's a very

46:01

annoying form of protest and protests inherently.

46:03

You're doing things that are outside the norm to

46:06

gain attention, but to do

46:08

something like this and then just expect everyone

46:10

to just sit there and listen to you harp about

46:13

the climate or whatever it is, is an

46:15

unrealistic thing and I think it's good riddance

46:17

that the police remove them. Like

46:19

you said, maybe they overstep their balance, didn't

46:21

handle it perfectly, but I honestly don't really have a problem

46:23

with these people being forcibly removed.

46:26

It is a breath of fresh air after

46:28

you see these types of people running

46:30

roughshod all over paintings and

46:32

Starbucks countertops and the like

46:35

throughout the world. So good to see a video

46:37

go viral with people actually being handled.

46:40

Yeah, and I do think even with the Freedom Convoys,

46:42

some of you reminded me in the chat down below, that

46:45

there were articles that said the truckers had made

46:47

way for emergency vehicles and allowed people

46:49

to like get through. Now, of course, you'll never know,

46:51

like this was happening on a really large scale. There could

46:53

have been people trying to get to places that they couldn't

46:56

get to. And I think there were left

46:58

leaning individuals during the whole COVID-19

47:00

thing that did complain about exactly that. So

47:03

who will ever have the true facts on what happened

47:05

there? I don't know. But if you're going to do something

47:07

like this, like,

47:09

you need to take into account the amount

47:11

of lives that you are disrupting and just

47:13

how you could be disrupting them. I've seen videos

47:16

of these climate activists being confronted by people

47:19

in so many different ways. Like one was

47:21

a pregnant woman trying to get to the hospital and

47:23

they came out and just dragged the activists out

47:25

of the street, which kudos to them for doing that. Another

47:28

one was a guy who had

47:29

to get to work because he's on parole.

47:32

And if he doesn't make it to work on time, his parole

47:34

officer is going to be alerted. And what did he do?

47:36

He dragged them out of the streets so that he could

47:38

get to work so he didn't get in trouble with his parole

47:41

officer. And I still think he got arrested

47:43

for having done that, which is just

47:46

crazy to me. Like if you are going to hinder

47:48

somebody's life in that way with a complete and utter

47:50

disregard for what's going on, you should

47:52

get trapped out of the street.

47:56

And to the cops credit as well, like I saw

47:58

a video, I think just yesterday.

47:59

Twitter of another similar protest and

48:02

this time there was a guy in his car who

48:04

was refusing to stop and was starting to

48:06

run over. He was going at a really slow speed

48:08

so just kind of like get out of the way I'm not going to stop

48:11

but

48:12

if the cops don't intervene then you're leaving

48:14

it up to everyday people and who are going

48:16

to be angry who are going to be facing all sorts of

48:18

situations to resolve the situation on themselves.

48:20

If you abdicate that to everyday people now you're opening up the

48:22

door to vigilante justice

48:25

and people being aggressive people acting out

48:27

of a rage or emotion and now more

48:29

harm could potentially be done. So I think

48:32

that's another feather

48:34

in the cap of the cops in this situation that

48:36

they need to step in so that people don't have to. Everyday

48:39

people don't have to.

48:39

Yeah and I mean kudos they came

48:42

in they took care of the situation and I think

48:44

everybody who was trying to get where they're going got

48:46

to where they were going and I

48:48

think we're going to see many more videos like this as

48:51

they up the ante on these climate protests.

48:54

So here's

48:55

to more climate activists being moved out of the

48:57

road. Okay

49:02

guys let's get into super chats for

49:05

today. I want to hear from you guys see

49:07

what you got to say.

49:08

Alrighty our first super chat today

49:11

is from mustpavlovedogs

49:14

a regular here. Yeah my favorite commenter

49:17

name so far see if you can beat her

49:20

but says went through my facebook history and found stuff

49:22

from my woke days yikes instead

49:24

of deleting I changed the audience to only me to

49:26

keep them for when I need a laugh or

49:28

when my self-esteem gets too high.

49:30

Oh gosh yeah I have a folder on my in my

49:32

phone that says like old lefty stuff and it's like old

49:34

photos of me. I

49:36

only have a few there's only like three of them because I have

49:38

like I don't have like any

49:41

documentation or photos of just like so

49:43

many things that happened like prior to 2020 but

49:45

uh yeah I also have

49:48

said leftist photos. I

49:50

was gonna say it would be a great episode if you had some

49:52

old woke social media posts or something that

49:54

we could react to. I think you guys have already I

49:56

don't have woke social media posts I just have pictures

49:58

and I think you guys have already. seen all of them

50:01

in like other content that we've created. So

50:04

sorry, the band-aid has been ripped off in that sense.

50:07

Alas.

50:09

Alex Zintaya says, Hey there

50:11

gang, have you guys been following the Maui fire story?

50:13

The media isn't really covering it. And now the Hawaii

50:15

power company was seen cleaning up evidence

50:17

of downed power lines. Real sus.

50:19

The only reason I have not talked

50:22

about that is because there was so

50:24

many conflicting reports from so

50:26

many different people about what happened.

50:29

People were saying like, the power lines

50:31

fell. No, it was like a government laser.

50:34

Others were saying it happened in like a bird sanctuary

50:36

in the middle of the night. And people were saying

50:38

that the water was turned off. Others were saying they're

50:40

not. They said the emergency sirens

50:43

weren't turned on, but then there was an explanation

50:45

for as to why they said they didn't do it. And

50:47

then different conflicting reports from people who

50:49

are actually on the ground in Maui.

50:52

But

50:53

I'm curious to know

50:55

if you guys want us to do a whole episode on that, you

50:57

let us know. I'm willing to like dive

51:00

into the rabbit hole and see what

51:02

we can drum up. I certainly saw Joe

51:05

Biden go to Maui

51:07

and how he was received by

51:09

the locals there. Plus him like falling

51:12

asleep and the jokes that he made

51:14

during his little speech to honor

51:17

the victims.

51:18

Wild. And the fact that that did not get more press

51:22

blows my mind. Sus,

51:25

indeed. James

51:27

Kim says, all I remember for his achievement

51:30

is costing a company millions. Probably referring

51:32

to Dylan Mulvaney and Bud Light.

51:34

Worst

51:36

marketing sponsorship to ever happen,

51:39

Ward goes to.

51:41

Shouldn't have been breakout creators, should have been breakdown

51:44

creators because he broke down and has her first

51:46

down the number one beer brand

51:47

in the world. Oh my gosh,

51:49

yeah, that would have been good. That is

51:52

so crazy. They will never recover. And

51:54

it's just one thing. It's amazing. Yeah,

51:57

I imagine they've got to get years under.

52:00

Under this to like

52:01

to ever bring back that beer

52:04

in the same image that it once had

52:07

It's a I'm spilling any tears over

52:09

it Randy B says

52:12

I love how dillam of any said he will have a

52:14

beer at the end of his speech I can bet then

52:17

money that he will have a low alcohol tolerance

52:19

after one beer But light should be renamed beta

52:21

trans light as it's cheap

52:24

and betas

52:24

Yeah, well, we know he had to make the old

52:27

the old wink and nod to all

52:29

of the the controversy which

52:31

It's really masterful guys. It's really masterful.

52:34

This is a

52:35

PR and marketing case study that needs

52:38

to be looked at by students for decades

52:40

to come in how Dylan

52:42

will veiny manages to To

52:45

amass such fame really should be looked

52:47

at I could do a whole critique of

52:49

why it's literally masterful

52:52

Yeah, maybe we should do the do the Amala

52:54

put on the marketing instructor cap

52:57

or an episode Do

53:00

you guys remember my take on this which is Bud

53:02

light and dillam of any deserve each other because dillam

53:04

of any is to womanhood what bud light is to beer

53:08

Anyways Cornell 777

53:11

says hello. I have a big question.

53:14

How many transgender we have on this

53:17

rock on Earth

53:20

Maybe maybe Earth or maybe on the podcast.

53:22

I'm not sure not on the podcast that I know

53:24

of unless camera Taylor has something to

53:27

tell me Unless

53:29

they want to pull like a Chris from mr. Beast on me

53:31

and that'll be really interesting to deal with But

53:36

My wife on this green earth, I don't

53:38

know. I

53:39

don't know Yeah, I know Kim's

53:41

got the stash now, too. So he's extra

53:44

masculine these days. I'm really trying to cover

53:46

it up Yeah, I'm like, okay if either of

53:48

you did that to me you fired I

53:50

have no power to fire you but also you're fired I'm

53:53

so sorry

53:53

discrimination lawsuit incoming

53:56

Transphobia be I'd be a victim

53:59

number one

53:59

Let's see, Kay

54:02

Breanne Johnson says, caught you guys

54:04

alive. Question, if you could live

54:06

anywhere in the world without price being a problem, where

54:08

would it be? Oh my goodness. Yes, you guys are awesome.

54:12

I don't know. I actually don't have

54:14

an answer to that. I am so sorry. I wish I did.

54:17

Yeah, that's tough. I just moved to Nashville from

54:20

LA about a little less than a year

54:22

ago, and my wife and I are super

54:24

happy here. So for

54:26

this season, I'm very content, but

54:29

I would probably pick somewhere like France and

54:31

maybe like summers in Norway after I went there.

54:33

And it's kind of an ancestral homeland. I

54:35

love it there.

54:35

Okay. Yeah, no, that's

54:38

a good answer. I don't know. I feel like I would just have

54:40

multiple places. If I was rich, I would just have multiple

54:42

places in different areas and just like travel around for,

54:44

you know,

54:45

months at a time, just, but you know what?

54:48

As much as I dislike LA, if you're like

54:50

rich in LA, you're living pretty good.

54:52

Like you can do anything at any given moment.

54:55

You can like surf and then ski

54:58

or whatever. And there's like so

55:00

much to do here. If you're rich and

55:02

have the means to just like

55:04

make yourself safe in LA, it's a pretty dope

55:06

place to live, but you know, who has

55:08

the means for that? Yeah,

55:12

Amalie, I've watched her change.

55:14

I remember when she rolled up, we did that vlog going

55:16

to Hollywood and seeing the expectation

55:18

versus reality of how it'd be all glamorous.

55:20

I was like, y'all literally bamboozled me with

55:22

this job. I need to go back home. I need

55:24

to go back home. I met her at the studio the other

55:26

day And I'm like, this

55:29

is the most LA thing I've ever seen. I literally have it

55:31

right here. From like some specialty

55:33

place. It's pomegranate fruit leather, okay?

55:35

Because I'm a fruit roll up queen, but it's not

55:37

good for you. I don't want a bunch like red 40 in

55:39

my bloodstream, slowly giving

55:42

me cancer.

55:44

Okay, so.

55:46

You're drinking the 20 dollar Arowan milkshakes that

55:49

are smoothies that Dylan was talking about. Wow.

55:53

I have yet to be influenced in that direction. Yeah,

55:56

she don't like that, y'all. Arowan is too bougie,

55:58

it really is. Yeah

56:01

Let's see Ties

56:03

or on says I'm gonna have you watch the 2015

56:06

live-action Cinderella. You should take a look It's

56:08

how a live action should be done. My

56:11

favorite movies

56:12

of all time. Is that the one with Lily? Cinderella

56:19

Let's see. Yeah, so I'm with Lily

56:21

James I I

56:24

Think I've seen this but not recently

56:26

enough to remember what happened

56:28

But every time that we talk about Cinderella and like

56:30

all the different remakes that have been made of Cinderella

56:32

you guys Say that 2015

56:35

is your favorite and I think they did stay true

56:38

and I do love Richard Madden from Game of Thrones

56:40

Of course,

56:41

so yeah, I have heard good

56:43

things about that film and I think I've seen it

56:47

There you go Alex again says guys

56:49

I hope they don't fix the Snow White movie so that

56:51

it bombs and hopefully they lose tons

56:53

of money Disney needs to be the next Budweiser

56:56

They're on the right track they're

56:59

on the right track with literally everything they've done so far except

57:01

for the Little Mermaid and

57:04

We'll

57:04

see. I don't think we're gonna get any good

57:06

original content for them from them for

57:09

quite some time Yeah,

57:11

I've heard stuff that like maybe Apple was considering

57:13

buying them or something like that. Yeah,

57:15

but

57:16

we'll see whoever will turn it around I'm I'm

57:18

down for Alex

57:20

again says Taylor. How'd you know the word molecule so

57:22

quickly? I don't know. It sounds real sespero Even

57:25

Amla didn't know that word. I said

57:27

it's cuz we've reacted all these crazy tic-tacs of

57:30

these very unattractive people explaining

57:32

their molecule and One

57:34

extremely domineering like female personality

57:37

who has several

57:39

Beta guys associated with her and then one

57:41

other random girl who's probably got some trauma.

57:44

She's overcoming as well It's just not

57:46

a great look but that's how I knew

57:48

daddy and mommy issues perfect

57:51

combination Not

57:53

to say that you know, there aren't attractive people

57:56

out there who are in these, you know and enjoying

57:58

their lives, but anyway

57:59

That's what I've seen. I do question it. I do question it.

58:04

Look at me being the more moderate

58:06

one in that case. Arietta

58:11

just sends a super chat. No message. Thank you. Julie

58:14

Kring says, wait,

58:17

LOL, Dylan Deaf has big Kenneth Copeland

58:19

energy. The more I think about it, would love

58:22

to put them in a room together just to see what happens. I

58:24

don't know who that is. A prosperity

58:26

preacher televangelist who

58:28

has a bunch of airplanes

58:29

and talks about. I do know what

58:32

he who he is. He's got those eyes

58:34

that like when you look into them, you feel like you

58:36

are drowning

58:38

and not in the good way. Yeah,

58:41

I've seen videos of him where he's like getting

58:43

confronted like, why do you own so many planes? Why do you own so many

58:45

planes? And he just like

58:47

smiles and goes about his business.

58:50

Personally, not a fan. But they're saying Dylan

58:52

looks in the thumbnail looks like him. Which

58:55

is interesting. They have that same that's

58:57

that same I gotcha smile.

59:00

You know what I mean? I gotcha. Now I'm

59:02

rich smile.

59:05

Oh, the grift is real. The grift eyes.

59:08

Casey McGregor says, hey, guys,

59:10

big fan of the show as a former leftist.

59:13

Those are my favorite comments. Great to have

59:15

you. Yeah, welcome.

59:17

Viv Dives says,

59:20

as someone who works in that environmental field, those people

59:23

make our jobs so much harder

59:25

and so embarrassing and definitely

59:28

not helping achieve change.

59:29

It's actually hilarious because they're like here all

59:31

these emissions of like cars are putting out into

59:34

the world or whatever. And then you're literally stopping traffic.

59:36

So cars have to run longer and just sit on

59:38

the road running.

59:39

So it's really, really great. There's another

59:41

one where they were like burning tires and saying

59:44

like the carbon emissions or whatever, which

59:46

actively emits harmful chemicals into the air. It's

59:48

just amazing what

59:51

what these people do that is in complete

59:54

incongruence with their message.

59:56

What they should be doing is going to the runway

59:59

at the airport at

59:59

where there is a traffic

1:00:02

jam of private jets from all the rich

1:00:04

people who are trying to institute global

1:00:07

communism on all of us. You go sit

1:00:09

in front of that tarmac and block that

1:00:11

road, you'll actually save a lot

1:00:13

of CO2. Yeah. But

1:00:16

people driving on a rural road in Las Vegas,

1:00:19

I don't think that they deserve that. Right, right. Anyways.

1:00:22

Not a priority. Let's see. Ali,

1:00:25

this is Casey McGregor again. Big

1:00:27

fan of the show. Love from Portland, Oregon. Amala,

1:00:31

when are you going to come to PSU or

1:00:33

University of Portland? I would love to see a debate

1:00:35

in person.

1:00:36

I have a feeling I would not be well received

1:00:38

there, but as soon as somebody invites me, I'd

1:00:41

be willing to go. I'm always down to go to a new

1:00:43

university and speak and see what people have

1:00:45

got to say, even though it's always the same

1:00:47

arguments, but I'll go. I'll still

1:00:50

stick it out.

1:00:51

I'm feeling like a 2024 university

1:00:54

tour. Amala goes to a few spots

1:00:56

around the country and we host some talks and

1:00:58

debates. I think that'd be dope.

1:00:59

Yeah, it'd be fun. Hit me up. Those

1:01:02

clips always go viral, so it's good content

1:01:05

for the rest of you. I'm selfishly

1:01:07

like, hey. But anyways,

1:01:10

Alexandra Smith

1:01:12

says, keep the protesting out

1:01:14

of the roads. Can't say I'd be inspired to promote

1:01:16

anyone's passion or beliefs after

1:01:18

being stuck in a long traffic jam. Yeah.

1:01:20

Are you going to be like, dude, I didn't understand

1:01:22

how catastrophic climate change really was

1:01:25

until these stupid

1:01:27

climate activists sat in the road and blocked me from

1:01:29

being able to get to work. That's when I really

1:01:31

understood how serious the issue is. No, it's not going to

1:01:34

work. It's not going to happen. Literally

1:01:36

nobody. Yeah, literally. I

1:01:40

now have a green thumb because these guys blocked

1:01:42

me from going to work. Not

1:01:46

the most brilliant marketing strategy for your cause. AV

1:01:49

just sends a super chat. No message. Thank

1:01:51

you. AV

1:01:52

and Alex again, says Amala, what

1:01:55

we need is one episode of you

1:01:57

back in the Afro sounding like a leftist.

1:02:00

for the whole show so we can see just how far

1:02:02

you've changed.

1:02:02

Oh gosh. I could do

1:02:04

like what, doesn't Steven Crowder do that where he acts

1:02:06

like a leftist? Maybe

1:02:09

one of these days. I used to do Devil's Advocate which

1:02:11

was kind of like me taking the

1:02:13

leftist hat back on. Maybe we should bring it back.

1:02:16

Put that in the chat if you guys like that segment if you

1:02:18

remember it. You should bring it back. I thought you

1:02:20

guys found it boring so we never really did it again. But

1:02:22

if you guys want Devil's Advocate let me know. Ah

1:02:26

let's see, Ty Oran again says I

1:02:28

was going to move to LA this fall to pursue a career

1:02:31

in entertainment. The writer strike has sort of dried

1:02:33

up a lot of jobs. What's your

1:02:35

take? Yeah I mean it's probably not the best time.

1:02:37

I have friends that do that work in Hollywood

1:02:40

or whatever and act and do stunts

1:02:42

and stuff and

1:02:44

no work. No work to be had at the moment

1:02:47

or at least not very uh not

1:02:49

big work at least given the

1:02:51

state of things. Yeah

1:02:53

it's tough but. More content

1:02:55

creating though. Yeah we certainly need

1:02:57

good writing. And you know they're

1:03:00

like Amala said I haven't seen anything

1:03:02

in recent years that's like these people deserve to be paid

1:03:05

a lot more. But if you want to come out

1:03:07

here and that's your dream and your gift and you're good

1:03:09

at it maybe wait till the strikes over.

1:03:12

But yeah come out and start lifting

1:03:15

up this

1:03:15

hurting industry. If you don't

1:03:17

like the industry become the industry like start doing

1:03:19

independent work and like making your own stuff even

1:03:21

if it's just on your iPhone it's just crazy what you can

1:03:23

do with content creation these days. And if you

1:03:25

have like a voice that people like it will

1:03:28

it will carry.

1:03:30

100 percent.

1:03:31

Last one I see is Noah

1:03:33

Mulchane says we need to get Amala Estrimi

1:03:36

and Dylan will be paying to see it and Amala would go

1:03:38

up there and all of us cheering

1:03:40

it would be great.

1:03:41

I'm like do I want an award from

1:03:43

this institution that does such things? Is

1:03:46

the goal Estrimi anymore? Anything

1:03:49

like that? I don't know how I feel about it

1:03:51

with everything that happens on these platforms

1:03:54

man.

1:03:55

I don't fight the man man.

1:03:57

You said they would never do it. They

1:03:59

would never no. It would just never happen. It would never

1:04:01

happen. You would think like a Brett Cooper or something

1:04:03

would be up there to win Award because

1:04:06

you know duh look at the amount of growth Yeah,

1:04:08

like speaking of a breakout creator and actually

1:04:10

within the last year But they

1:04:12

won't do it because the messaging is not proper It's

1:04:15

just like with the Oscars and you know

1:04:17

the Golden Globes and Grammys or whatever

1:04:19

It's more politics than anything like

1:04:22

you know,

1:04:23

so I doubt that will ever be

1:04:26

in the cards and that's okay

1:04:30

One more here at the last minute at the buzzer

1:04:32

Gary Forgy says I cannot understand

1:04:34

for the life of me How Dylan Mulvaney is staying in the news.

1:04:37

I guess we're not helping today Sorry about that

1:04:39

pure grit tenacity and virtue signaling

1:04:41

guys That is the formula if you're

1:04:43

ever wondering how can I get famous and do

1:04:45

it now? You

1:04:46

have to find the marginalized community that's for you

1:04:49

if you call now. I'll tell you the marginalized community

1:04:51

for you How

1:04:55

to how to make it we got another one here

1:04:57

from Nikki McGaugh who

1:04:59

says I am uncomfortable with how

1:05:01

truly worried I am about the dangers of AI I

1:05:04

feel it's truly going to be an issue in my

1:05:06

children's lives. How do you feel?

1:05:09

I'm a mixture. I think it needs to be highly regulated. I

1:05:12

think that's and if we don't achieve that then it

1:05:14

most definitely will become a problem

1:05:17

and

1:05:19

We should definitely look into doing that at

1:05:21

the fullest extent possible But it also

1:05:24

gives way to like so much Creativity

1:05:26

and so much to be done and so much so many of the

1:05:28

tedious tasks that we do as human

1:05:30

beings in our daily lives
