  Stunning and all black. So one of the human.
• 0:17
  Why are you laughing at someone for being disabled?

  I'm not laughing at her, I'm laughing at the newscasters, he
• 0:24
  said. Stunning and all black you're
• 0:25
  trying so hard to. Say that's what I'm laughing.
• 0:28
  At but what everyone else is thinking.
• 0:30
  The fashion industry is unlikely to book or pay black, trans,
• 0:35
  feminist and or physically disabled models.
• 0:37
  I love representation. At the end of the day, there is
• 0:40
  going to be a majority in a country.
• 0:44
  All right, ready. Yeah, I'm always ready.
• 0:49
  What? My friend sending pictures of a
• 0:52
  boy in the group chat. And he's ugly.
• 0:54
  No, he's cute, but like, I don't want to.
• 0:55
  I don't want to see another boy. Oh.
• 0:59
  My God, you need to chill. Hey guys, welcome back to Normal

• 1:30
  today so I think I'm going to win this.
• 1:32
  And the first How about this? The first one of us to audibly
• 1:35
  laugh at this clip is a bigot. OK, Brad's going to lose.
• 1:38
  I'm going to. Lose.
• 1:40
  I don't really laugh at anything unless it's myself.
• 1:42
  You laugh at yourself all the time.
• 1:43
  You do your laugh where you go. Yeah, because I'm funny and.
• 1:49
  It's the. Funny and the and also like if
• 1:50
  you don't laugh at yourself, if you don't back yourself, nobody
• 1:53
  else will you're. Supposed to also laugh at other
• 1:55
  people. I don't find other people funny,
• 1:58
  just me. OK, alright, you want to watch
• 2:00
  the? Clip Yeah, let's watch it.
• 2:01
  Let's. Talk about model and musician
• 2:03
  Ariana Rose Phillip, who celebrated her first gallop.
• 2:05
  Phillip, who has quadriplegic cerebral palsy, is recognized as
• 2:10
  the first black transgender and physically disabled model to
• 2:15
  sign with a major agency, she said.
• 2:18
  Girls. Quite a moment.
• 2:21
  Stunning and all black. So one of the human models for
• 2:24
  mannequins at this year's popular Met Gala Costume
• 2:27
  Institute exhibit. The exhibit is called Costume
• 2:30
  Art, Includes a handful of mannequins with larger bodies,
• 2:33
  bodies and wheelchairs, pregnant bodies, trans bodies and bodies
• 2:36
  with missing limbs. Costume Institute curator Andrew
• 2:40
  Bolton says the goal of this year's exhibit is to reclaim the
• 2:43
  body. Very cool.
• 2:45
  So give me a second. Stunning it all back.
• 2:49
  Shut up. What?
• 2:50
  I said give me a second, I'm composing.
• 2:54
  I think I was just talking to. Yourself.
• 2:59
  Clark over here, I think that she looks amazing and stunning.
• 3:06
  So I'm just a terrible person for laughing at any of that.
• 3:11
  OK. But so I had to explain this on
• 3:13
  Twitter because I tweeted this clip and I said, if you don't
• 3:17
  laugh at this, we can't be friends.
• 3:20
  And what people were like, somebody comes back and was
• 3:22
  like, why are you laughing at someone for being disabled?
• 3:26
  And I'm like, you don't understand.
• 3:28
  I'm not laughing at her in this clip.
• 3:31
  I'm laughing at the newscasters. He.
• 3:34
  Says he said stunning and all black.
• 3:36
  It's just so funny because it's like you're trying so hard to.
• 3:39
  Say that's what I'm laughing at. But what everyone else is
• 3:42
  thinking the. Newscasters literally looked at
• 3:44
  her and said stunning and all black.
• 3:46
  Stunning and all black with a. Straight face.
• 3:48
  You know what? Good for them, good for them.
• 3:51
  As somebody who has laughed at in our opportune times during
• 3:55
  interviews on television, I can't really control.
• 3:59
  No, no, I would have. Actually, No, I could have.
• 4:02
  I probably would have just reacted the same way that I just
• 4:04
  did. I would have laughed out loud
• 4:06
  and they would have been like, why?
• 4:07
  What, What are you laughing at? I'm like bro, come on.
• 4:10
  Is she an artist? I think she's a model, and I
• 4:14
  should be clear, I really have no issue with this woman, she
• 4:16
  said. Like, at all.
• 4:18
  I think it's kind of ridiculous. I'm already in trouble with the
• 4:21
  disabled community, so I'm going to keep my mouth shut.
• 4:24
  Hopefully, yeah, you did. I did.
• 4:27
  I've said enough. Sit in the corner I am.
• 4:29
  I'm going to. Sit.
• 4:30
  I'll just carry this one myself. I don't have any issue with her,
• 4:33
  but I do find it. I hope God.
• 4:37
  It's so funny because we have to say that.
• 4:40
  Like people should understand that, but I'm allowed to laugh
• 4:43
  at the absurdity of the spectacle of these people acting
• 4:47
  as if there's nothing ridiculous about putting a person in a
• 4:50
  wheelchair with cerebral palsy, it who is happens to check every
• 4:55
  woke box on the like. It's not even just we're going
• 4:58
  to have a model with cerebral palsy.
• 5:00
  It's not even just we're going to have, you know, the first
• 5:03
  black trans. It's it's literally everything.
• 5:05
  Hold on, I it was so much that I didn't even really comprehend.
• 5:09
  So she black. Trans disabled, with cerebral
• 5:13
  palsy and I don't know what else.
• 5:16
  Damn, Triple homicide. I don't really know what Candace
• 5:20
  Owens has been up to recently. I feel like I've just kind of,
• 5:22
  I've actually muted her like at all of like I've muted Candace
• 5:27
  Owens. I can't look away.
• 5:29
  I, I, I have no idea what she's doing.
• 5:32
  Well, my favorite with our channel partners at Kalashi, my
• 5:35
  favorite market they've got going on right now is just a
• 5:38
  market on every time she does an episode.
• 5:40
  What words will Candace say during her live stream?
• 5:43
  And you really never know what the heck is going to be on that
• 5:46
  list. But so for example, for the
• 5:48
  latest one from May 11th, people thought there was a 56% chance
• 5:52
  she would say AI or artificial intelligence, a 52% chance she
• 5:56
  would say Zionist and a 48% chance she would say Iran said
• 6:01
  that Brigitte and penis didn't make the cut.
• 6:05
  But who knows, maybe on the. Maybe she's uncircumcised?
• 6:08
  This is this is one of those recurring markets, so it might
• 6:13
  make it another time. But anyway, Kaushi is where the
• 6:16
  future is happening. So it is the first CFTC
• 6:18
  regulated exchange dedicated to trading on the outcome of future
• 6:23
  events. If you want to get in on all of
• 6:26
  that, you can use the link in our description or the pin
• 6:28
  comment or just use promo code Brad P to get $20 when you trade
• 6:33
  $20. Now.
• 6:35
  Now back to the show. You get what I'm saying?
• 6:36
  How them just acting like it's not absurd and of course, it's
• 6:40
  part of like, a stunt. Yeah.
• 6:43
  It's like they literally say it's part like oh, they're
• 6:45
  having exhibits to showcase all. Body yeah, they're trying it's
• 6:49
  they're they're it's like art, but the art is but also.
• 6:53
  Can we talk about this? How?
• 6:54
  Like not everyone should be a model?
• 6:58
  Correct, Correct. Unless you're modelling like.
• 7:02
  Wheelchairs, sorry, it's not bad, it's not mean.
• 7:08
  If you're a fan and you're in a wheelchair, you have cerebral
• 7:11
  palsy. It's not a shame to you.
• 7:12
  It's the absurdity of the situation.
• 7:14
  I don't want to be woke because this is funny.
• 7:17
  I know. But I think about like, gay
• 7:21
  characters in shows and like that type of representation and
• 7:25
  how I feel when I see it, you know, like, it's nice.
• 7:28
  To have fun. But there's a difference between
• 7:29
  that and like modelling, which is a very specific thing.
• 7:34
  Sure, and. I do think that models.
• 7:37
  Like like where? Should be the top tier looks
• 7:40
  wise. In their in.
• 7:42
  Every way, shape or. Form is not.
• 7:44
  Yeah. And whether that's their fault
• 7:45
  or not is kind of irrelevant. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 7:48
  Well, looks aren't Yeah, exactly.
• 7:49
  I get what you're saying. Like I.
• 7:50
  Just I agree there's no representation for just uggos in
• 7:54
  modelling. Yeah, well, maybe I'm trying to.
• 8:00
  Think not everyone gets to be represented.
• 8:02
  Maybe like if like at Spencer's like they're models that are
• 8:07
  modelling like the the chains and like the furry outfits.
• 8:10
  I've I've never been in there and I've never browsed that.
• 8:13
  Oh my God, not this again. All right, let's watch the next
• 8:17
  one. I didn't laugh.
• 8:18
  Oh well, that doesn't mean it. It's Stephen Hawking, your
• 8:20
  favorite, and it says the original.
• 8:22
  But as the Netflix remake, it has, I admit it.
• 8:27
  That's funny laugh, you know. I can't laugh.
• 8:30
  If you laugh, you're a bigot. I know and.
• 8:32
  You're no, no, no, I I, I would love to be called a bigot.
• 8:35
  I love being unique with. The with the disabled community
• 8:37
  in particular. No, but I just, sometimes I
• 8:39
  don't like laugh, but I find something funny.
• 8:41
  It's like when you watch a show and it's like, Oh yeah, that was
• 8:44
  funny, but it you don't laugh. OK, well let me read you some
• 8:48
  quotes. She was, she was interviewed, I
• 8:50
  think this is. Let's see if I can.
• 8:53
  Ariana Rose Phillip on attending her historic first Met Gala.
• 8:56
  Quote Girls, I've made it. I think that this is her right.
• 9:01
  Wait, what? Never mind, I'm just trying to
• 9:05
  figure out if the appropriate pronoun is girls or not.
• 9:08
  Well, what do you mean? She's.
• 9:11
  She's a trans woman. OK, OK, Got.
• 9:13
  It got. It I think that for a long time
• 9:15
  it's been easy to see a disabled person in the public eye and
• 9:17
  label them in the activist because we have no choice but to
• 9:20
  speak up for ourselves in the spaces that we inhabit, because
• 9:23
  other people are not familiar with our bodies or how to
• 9:26
  accommodate us. We're given the title of
• 9:29
  activist because we are challenging a social system,
• 9:33
  yes. I agree.
• 9:37
  Well, I think that people don't realize there's no choice but to
• 9:39
  do that if you have a disability in a major public space because
• 9:42
  we have been so historically marginalized and pushed aside.
• 9:46
  OK, so far I'm not like it's a little cringe the language, but
• 9:49
  I'm like I. Don't disagree.
• 9:50
  Yeah. I don't necessarily disagree.
• 9:52
  Here's the part where it gets cringe.
• 9:54
  Unfortunately, with the fascist shift in our global society, we
• 9:58
  are seeing people return to ableism and to eugenics and
• 10:02
  harmful rhetoric toward disabled people.
• 10:07
  No, no. What is the evidence for this?
• 10:12
  The Sydney Sweeney jeans ad like.
• 10:14
  Actually, that's probably what they were thinking.
• 10:17
  That's dead ass. Probably like their strongest
• 10:19
  evidence of eugenics and a bitch rhyming.
• 10:21
  It's a a pun about. But also, OK, the whole eugenics
• 10:25
  argument goes please. Don't endorse eugenics.
• 10:27
  I'm not. Endorsing eugenics.
• 10:29
  I'm just saying, like, I'm not saying you should abort a kid
• 10:32
  because it has like a disability, but if there's ways
• 10:35
  to avoid that in the womb, wouldn't you want to like if
• 10:40
  there was some like scientific, like I've seen something about
• 10:43
  like having some revelation about being able to gene edit
• 10:47
  when they're in the room in the womb.
• 10:48
  And then somebody on Twitter is like, this is eugenics, by the
• 10:51
  way. And it's like, do you want your
• 10:52
  baby to come out with like 3 legs or do you want him to have
• 10:55
  two? You know what I mean?
• 10:57
  It's, it's a tricky question though, because like obviously
• 11:01
  there's some suffering that could be ameliorated, but
• 11:04
  they're also is in all seriousness, in all seriousness,
• 11:07
  I think there is value and beauty in human biodiversity.
• 11:11
  And it's a very dangerous power to give any human being or, or
• 11:16
  whether it's a doctor or a scientist or government or even
• 11:19
  parents to decide which traits. Because the way this is mostly
• 11:24
  done is through selective abortions.
• 11:26
  But even with something like gene editing, I imagine you'd
• 11:29
  get much more uncomfortable with it if people started saying what
• 11:32
  if you could detect a gay gene and they could edit it in the
• 11:37
  womb. What if you sure there's a
• 11:38
  slippery slope to? Everything.
• 11:40
  And that's a particularly slippery line.
• 11:42
  They think if but that you can't inhibit that if it's also
• 11:45
  preventing someone to have what should Parkinson's or something
• 11:49
  like that, like that's debilitating.
• 11:52
  There's really no but the problem.
• 11:54
  Is that? You can make light out of a hard
• 11:56
  situation. But where's the line between
• 11:58
  something that's debilitated? To draw it.
• 12:01
  And it's a very tough one to draw.
• 12:02
  Sure, but that doesn't mean that we should just throw out the
• 12:04
  pencil. I I don't disagree, I'm just
• 12:08
  saying it's a very complicated subject.
• 12:09
  Right, Right. Anyways, it's supposed to be
• 12:11
  funny. Ha ha.
• 12:12
  Yeah, so I want to play you a clip from her Ted Talk.
• 12:15
  When I first started working, I was an anomaly to the industry,
• 12:19
  arguably in many ways. Today, really, I still am.
• 12:22
  I think it's time to see the quiet part out loud.
• 12:26
  The fashion industry is unlikely to book or pay black, trans,
• 12:31
  feminine and or physically disabled models to do runway,
• 12:36
  editorial and or campaign because of an absence of
• 12:40
  whiteness. I'm sorry, bitch.
• 12:46
  There's not. There's not really a strong
• 12:49
  argument for that specifically nowadays.
• 12:53
  Considering the reaction to Sidney Sweeney's ad.
• 12:55
  I think that well also like. The point that a couple years
• 13:01
  later they would be putting her at the Met Gala specifically as
• 13:05
  it's like, right? Also, like here's my issue with
• 13:08
  this whole thing. I love representation, but at
• 13:14
  the end of the day, there is going to be a majority in a
• 13:16
  country and if you want to market to the majorities, you're
• 13:21
  going to see more white people than you're going to see black
• 13:25
  or trans people. Well, but I feel like you're not
• 13:27
  even focusing on the point. The point that she's suggesting
• 13:31
  is that the reason physically disabled people aren't getting
• 13:35
  modelling opportunities is because they're not white.
• 13:40
  No bitch. No, I I mean I haven't seen any
• 13:46
  other I think. She may have cerebral palsy.
• 13:50
  Oh, irregardless, I. Don't know what the difference
• 13:52
  is to be honest, Doctor. They're different.
• 13:56
  Parkinson's cerebral palsy? What's the difference?
• 13:59
  He says. He says they're very.
• 14:00
  Different. I'm going to shut up now, but.
• 14:02
  You get what I'm saying? It's not the whiteness, it's
• 14:05
  that like, would you be honest? Would you see a pair of jeans on
• 14:09
  a person in a wheelchair with cerebral palsy and be like, I
• 14:13
  got to get me some of those? Well, you can't even really see
• 14:15
  them because most of the time their legs are kind of like.
• 14:18
  Oh, you really had to demonstrate for the class.
• 14:21
  Yeah, I did see a girl at Universal with no legs and she
• 14:26
  was cutting the lines. As she should.
• 14:30
  Yeah. What, are you going to just
• 14:31
  offend the disabled community again?
• 14:33
  I'm going to shut up. You've been so reserved in this
• 14:35
  episode because you got your spanking from them.
• 14:37
  I did. No, Oh my God, simp all right.
• 14:43
  Anyways, I'm being too good and I'm not being funny and I want
• 14:46
  to issue an apology, OK? I'm so sorry that I am turning a
• 14:50
  new leaf and becoming a lover boy and just want to find light
• 14:54
  in the world. Amen.
• 14:57
  Literally next what if next week you show up for the podcast
• 14:59
  you're wearing all black. I'm going to change and you.
• 15:02
  It's all over and you're depressed and emo and and.
• 15:05
  I'm going to be a raging. That'd be so different from all
• 15:08
  the other days. I just can't, you know?
• 15:10
  I can't fake it. I'm just going to be me, you
• 15:12
  know? OK, well, like I said, I.
• 15:15
  Don't. Was it?
• 15:15
  Wait, was this it? Yeah, this is the story The
• 15:17
  girl. I thought we were going to react
• 15:18
  to more funny things and see if we could.
• 15:20
  Laugh. No, it was just her.
• 15:21
  It was just that story because I just thought I've, I've found
• 15:24
  that to be like cartoonishly tokenistic, just kind of like
• 15:28
  the microcosm of liberal identity politics to their most
• 15:33
  absurd where you're checking every single box.
• 15:37
  And then I really was struck by this because like I said, I have
• 15:40
  like absolutely no ill will towards this woman or any of her
• 15:43
  different boxes she checks are all fine by me.
• 15:46
  I was more like struck by the absurdity of that CBS News clip.
• 15:52
  This is one of the most elite journalism institutions and
• 15:56
  they're all pretending. They're all lying and saying
• 16:01
  stunning in black and all the other gassing up like it just as
• 16:06
  if that's not, you know. Nobody can just be honest.
• 16:10
  And be like, you know what, maybe it's nice that we
• 16:12
  intentionally carve out space for people with very rare
• 16:15
  disabilities. Instead, they're acting like
• 16:17
  she's actually. Like it's based on merit.
• 16:20
  It's not. You may have merit, but the
• 16:24
  decision is clearly influenced by other things.
• 16:26
  Besides that, and I found that to it in just the, what else did
• 16:30
  they say in the clip? They're like they talk about
• 16:33
  the. For I don't.
• 16:34
  Know the Met Gala or the museum or something.
• 16:37
  Having like a exhibit with larger bodies and more bodies
• 16:40
  and one of them is like, how wonderful.
• 16:42
  OK, now larger bodies. This is where my line gets drawn
• 16:47
  because that, even though it's hard to lose weight, is a
• 16:50
  choice, correct? And if you are, we don't need.
• 16:53
  To be offensive to like Miss Girl here and people with
• 16:55
  disabilities like that, to view that as the same, as correct,
• 16:58
  just chunk. Correct, because if you are just
• 17:01
  higher like yo we need more diverse, but no you don't, you
• 17:04
  don't it, it's a choice. Now disabled people sure build
• 17:08
  the ramp, OK, but I don't think that larger people should be
• 17:13
  using that ramp. Oh, and they they do be using it
• 17:17
  they. Doing it, yeah.
• 17:19
  Yeah, stairs are tough. All right, guys, let us know
• 17:22
  what you think in the comments. Do become a channel member.
• 17:25
  We're going to watch some more of my Strange Addiction clips, I
