- 0:23show. Welcome to the big Gay After
- 0:29show. My name is Chris Gorman.
- 0:30I'm your show twink here, joined by the electric Esme Russell,
- 0:33the trans Queen of radio. Shawn does such a really good
- 0:37job. Shawn always does a good job.
- 0:39No, but his voice like is really good, like he does AI know that
- 0:42he always does a good job, but like sometimes it just it hits
- 0:46me that wow, his voice like is really good.
- 0:49He's really excellent at at doing radio like.
- 0:52Yeah, we had to give Maca in the studio one of these days.
- 0:55He has a great voice. He's just like every time.
- 0:58Like for some odd reason today it just stood out to me.
- 1:01I don't know why. Maybe I'm just paying attention
- 1:03and I'm normally in. I'm usually in my A.
- 1:05What is ADHAD? HDADHD.
- 1:08Whatever it is, I'm just when we talk about my in a few minutes,
- 1:14when we talk about my Apple Store dilemma, my drama, that
- 1:18part of me kicked in. It's really, really bad to be
- 1:23having a, an episode and you can't control it.
- 1:29It's beyond my control. And I'm trying, I'm fiddling my
- 1:32hands, I'm pulling on my clothes.
- 1:36I'm at one point I, I had gotten so bad sitting there waiting
- 1:39that I felt like I, you know, I imagine that's what a drug
- 1:46addict looks like coming off drugs.
- 1:49I, I, I caught it, you know. I know.
- 1:51So I know that I look like a drug addict to some people
- 1:54because I'm constantly like messing with my nose and like I
- 1:59always have so much energy. So I guarantee you there's at
- 2:01least a good like the half dozen people thinking that I'm a
- 2:04cokehead. I'll tell you what happened, but
- 2:06it it got really bad and then I had to wait for a long time.
- 2:09So sitting there with with no phone.
- 2:12But we're also joined by Daddy. Hello.
- 2:15I kind of want to get into this topic.
- 2:17So what's what? What happened at the Apple
- 2:19Store? Miss Esme?
- 2:20Just really bad. So on Saturday night I went to
- 2:24call an Uber and when I went to call the Uber everything went
- 2:27through. I pressed all the buttons
- 2:29correctly until at the bottom of the screen it said confirm the
- 2:32ride. So when I pressed confirm the
- 2:35ride, it did not accept it. So I kept tapping and tapping.
- 2:39Fast forward one hour and a half later, I'm still sitting in my
- 2:42room tapping that button trying. So I didn't know what to do.
- 2:46Then I realized that half of the screen from the middle of the
- 2:49screen down the top half of the screen was working, but the
- 2:53bottom of the screen was not. So the the screen was stuck and
- 2:56it wouldn't scroll, wouldn't do anything.
- 2:58So all of the instructions had to go through Siri.
- 3:00But Siri can't call you on Uber. So I had to get a friend of
- 3:03mine. My my my son Michael picked me
- 3:05up and took me to work. If I remember correctly, there's
- 3:08actually a phone number you can call for an Uber.
- 3:12Really. I think so.
- 3:13I don't know. You need to find that out 'cause
- 3:16that's a for. People who still have like.
- 3:18That don't have a phone. Not smartphones.
- 3:20Yeah, dumb phones or whatever they call.
- 3:22Them. That would be wonderful.
- 3:23I wish I would have. Known.
- 3:24I mean, there are people. I should have called given up
- 3:26on. I probably should have called
- 3:27you when I was going through all that.
- 3:29So anyway, I ended up making an. So yeah, you you can call 1833,
- 3:34use Uber to request a ride on demand or in advance and.
- 3:38Then I could just give my credit card information over the phone
- 3:41that would that would could you? Have even made the phone call
- 3:43though if you couldn't press the call.
- 3:45Button I could I could. You could call the number.
- 3:47Siri. Siri could dial the number for
- 3:49me. There you go.
- 3:50See We're learning things on the video radio show.
- 3:53So anyway, so I ended up on Sunday, I said let me go ahead
- 3:57and make an appointment. So I called on Sunday and I got
- 4:01the the Apple operator in Texas. Immediately when I heard his
- 4:06voice, I knew that I was going to be OK because it was a gay
- 4:09guy and I you could hear the voice.
- 4:12It was just a very sweet, you could tell the effeminateness.
- 4:16And I saw this is family. So he said, well, the soonest we
- 4:19can get you in is on Thursday. May.
- 4:23Excuse me. Yeah, May something I it was
- 4:25like next week, not this week, it was the following week.
- 4:28I said, listen, I knew he was family.
- 4:31Then when I said this and he laughed, I said I am a drag
- 4:34queen in desperate need of her cell phone.
- 4:37I can't get onto my Facebook. And he went, oh girl, don't
- 4:40worry, I got you. He immediately said, oh girl, I
- 4:43got you. And I get chills from head to
- 4:45toe because, you know, listen, a drag without without the
- 4:49homosexuals is basically nothing.
- 4:52We are so dependent on the gay community for so much.
- 4:55I hope you never get banned, Esme.
- 4:57I God, I love my homosexuals. Like I I really hope that one of
- 5:01these days you don't get banned off Facebook.
- 5:03Why? Because you would go through the
- 5:05withdrawals that I do and you would freaking lose your shit.
- 5:08Oh, I lost my Lance. My Lance Facebook profile.
- 5:11Yeah, so. So he hooked me up.
- 5:13He said, listen, I got a plan, I'm gonna reschedule somebody
- 5:18else and I'm gonna put you in their appointment.
- 5:20I said, are you serious? He goes, yes, that's fucked.
- 5:22I get you all My yeah, I know. Isn't that crazy?
- 5:25No, like 'cause that is actually fucked cause Can you imagine
- 5:28being the other fucking person? I know he didn't.
- 5:29You're just gonna message out? I'm sorry you didn't reschedule.
- 5:32He didn't tell me what, how he did it or whatever, he said.
- 5:34I got you in for tomorrow at 11:30 in the morning.
- 5:37Oh, so now I know. Now, you know, just go ahead and
- 5:40be like, I'm a drag queen in trouble.
- 5:42And when I said, hey, he goes, I said he goes.
- 5:44By the way, what's your stage name 'cause I gave him my legal
- 5:47name, Sonia, you know, and I said, I said, well, my, my sage
- 5:50name is Esme Russell. He goes ohh mistake you one of
- 5:52the Florida legends he. Immediately.
- 5:55Wow. Immediately.
- 5:57He would ohh mistake you. One of the Florida legends.
- 6:01So I said, oh, you know me. He goes, Oh yes, I've heard of
- 6:03you. And I said, oh, that's very
- 6:05sweet. He goes, I said thank you so
- 6:06much for helping me. She said, of course, girl, of
- 6:09course. So that's fine.
- 6:12So I am AI am a stickler for time.
- 6:15So I get to the Apple Store at 10:30 in the morning.
- 6:20The appointment's at 11:30, right?
- 6:22When I get there, they look at me and they say, well, your
- 6:24appointment is at 11:30. What are you doing here?
- 6:27Yeah, that's, that's how they that's.
- 6:30I hate that shit. So I said, well, what do I do?
- 6:33He goes, well, I don't know, go downstairs and get coffee or
- 6:35something. I I.
- 6:36Just have a mall pretzel so. I went downstairs, I got some
- 6:39coffee and then I walked around the mall.
- 6:41I still had my phone, so I was able like to get onto YouTube
- 6:44and stuff like I would tell Siri, Siri get me onto YouTube
- 6:48so I could watch movies or whatever.
- 6:49So at 11:20, I went back to the Apple Store and the guy's
- 6:54waiting at the door and this guy had the most beautiful green
- 6:58eyes I think I've ever seen in my freaking life.
- 7:00My God, he was so just beautiful.
- 7:02He had cold black hair and green, those emerald green eyes.
- 7:06I can't even tell you. So I said, I said, hey, pretty
- 7:09boy, can you get me in now? Pretty boy?
- 7:11That's what I told him. As soon as I said that, his face
- 7:14lit up. Honey, you know, listen,
- 7:17straight guys don't get called pretty all the time, you know?
- 7:20His eyes just went, Oh, yeah, I, I got you, I got you.
- 7:22So he put me right in. And then they put me to this big
- 7:26long wooden table. The table could probably sit 50
- 7:30people easily 25 on one side, 25 on the other.
- 7:34That's how long the table was. I waited there for half an hour
- 7:39at that table and then finally the girl comes.
- 7:42She rerouted, she fixed, she goes, I can't move the screen.
- 7:45I got to get in. I didn't know my Apple password.
- 7:49I mean, it was just a disaster. So finally she was able to
- 7:53figure out here's the deal, I can fix the screen and this is
- 7:57what it's going to cost. I said.
- 7:59I said that's fine. So I paid the $200, whatever it
- 8:02was it to fix the screen. I know it was killing.
- 8:04But anyway, she said it'll be 3 hours.
- 8:09I've already How am I supposed to do without my phone for three
- 8:11hours? That's what I said.
- 8:14I well, I said, I said, well, can I at least call my mother?
- 8:18My, my mother, you know, has dementia and she's elderly.
- 8:21My brother's at home taking care of her.
- 8:23We, we take care of care of her together.
- 8:25At least let my family know I'm not coming home.
- 8:28You know that this is going to be a.
- 8:29Long ass time. Yeah.
- 8:31Oh, I'm sorry. We're hooked up to the
- 8:33diagnostic computer. So I'm like, why didn't you tell
- 8:39me this before? I needed to make call.
- 8:42I needed to let my drag set. When I got the phone after me is
- 8:46to say when I got the phone back after three hours, there were
- 8:49like all these calls, everybody, everybody.
- 8:52But listen, this is the scary part.
- 8:54So I'm walking around, I'm fiddling, I'm touching.
- 8:56It got so bad I must have looked like a drug addict jonesing.
- 9:01So I really have really bad attention deficit where I need
- 9:05to do something. So usually what I do to focus my
- 9:08energy as I grab my cell phone, I scroll, I watch a movie
- 9:13something to 0 ABA calms me. Do you know the the movies?
- 9:17I had nothing to calm me. So I was like walking around
- 9:20popping in stores. By the way, there's nothing in
- 9:23International Mall that's no. God, there ain't fucking shit.
- 9:26In there, I'm just going to go to Gucci and this is.
- 9:28Very for rich people. So I'm like stressing out madly.
- 9:32Dude, I went into fucking goddamn Aeropostol.
- 9:35I'm thinking that I had a $50.00 gift card.
- 9:37I was thinking I was gonna leave there with like a pair of jeans
- 9:40and like 3 different pair of pairs of shorts.
- 9:43No, I, I left there with a shirt and a fucking two shorts and
- 9:46that was it. Oh.
- 9:46Yes, it was pretty. Good and I no no no, I still
- 9:50spent 80 fucking. Dollars to say I was like you
- 9:52didn't. Go.
- 9:53I ordered a copy and she said that'll be $16.00.
- 9:56Oh my God. Six.
- 9:58Yeah. That's the reason why your
- 9:59fucking mall is dying, $16. But you don't have to have ADHD
- 10:04though, to have it. Like I, I was, I was at Home
- 10:07Depot the other day getting paint and like I had the paint
- 10:10symbols on my phone. And she's like, oh, can I just
- 10:11take your phone to like go over here and put in the I'm like,
- 10:14sure. Like, I mean, she had my phone
- 10:15for 45 seconds. I went to my pocket to search
- 10:18for my phone twice in that 45 seconds.
- 10:20Like you go touching your pocket, You're like, oh.
- 10:22So during so during those three hours, I can tell you that I
- 10:26still would check the oh, you know what I'll do?
- 10:29I'll sit right here at this in this little cubby hole and I'll
- 10:31watch face. Oh wait, I.
- 10:32Don't. I can't I can't.
- 10:33I can't I. Did I did it a bunch of times,
- 10:36so 30 minutes. And it's before the time I go
- 10:39and I, I'm sitting there and I'm watching these kids with what
- 10:43they have on their faces, like a like a mask.
- 10:45And they're going like this in the air, like they're pinching
- 10:48in the air. And I'm like, what are they
- 10:51doing? And the lady said, well, it's
- 10:54like a virtual reality phones and you can, I said, Oh my God,
- 10:59can I watch something on that? And she goes, yeah, I said, this
- 11:02is going to save me. I thought I my brain is thinking
- 11:06if I can get on that little machine for 30 minutes, I'm
- 11:09saved. I won't look like some weirdo,
- 11:11you know, scratching my skin, fiddling with my head.
- 11:15I'm just thinking, what do I? So I did that for 25 minutes,
- 11:18thirty minutes. And it was, it was a lot of fun.
- 11:20But yeah, I really did. It gave me a headache, though.
- 11:23It did give me. But I don't care what's worth
- 11:24it. I enjoyed it, but I played
- 11:27chess. I play chess, virtual reality
- 11:30chess. And once you figure out how to
- 11:32grab things, oh wow, it's great. I was like, wow, that's genius.
- 11:36Anyway, I'm going to tell you where I was when my phone came
- 11:39out. The door to the repairs thing is
- 11:42right there inside the Apple Store.
- 11:45Like right there. I was literally standing at the
- 11:48door. Are you the No.
- 11:51Are you for selling it? No.
- 11:52Are you are you for? So everybody, finally this girl
- 11:55said, honey, you've been asking everybody, what are you looking
- 11:58for? I said I'm waiting for my phone.
- 12:00So she went and got my phone. OK, so they find then when I got
- 12:03the phone, here's the other thing.
- 12:06All the apps had to be reloaded. Yeah, yeah, they had cleared my
- 12:09entire phone. And it takes hours to like, pull
- 12:11everything from the cloud, doesn't it?
- 12:13So you still can't really use your phone.
- 12:14Yet I said, so how long before I can use she?
- 12:16He said probably another 2-2 hours.
- 12:18Yeah, Oh yeah, two or three hours.
- 12:20So another two or three hours. I said I think now I may have to
- 12:24take myself to Tampa General. I think I may have to drive
- 12:28'cause I was in Josh's car. I said I think I might have to
- 12:30drive myself to Tampa General. But within an hour I had some of
- 12:33the apps, so I was able to call home and all that.
- 12:36So. I think that I think that the
- 12:39whole Apple situation has definitely helped you get more
- 12:43in touch with your with your inner self.
- 12:46I I know that my attention deficit disorder is a lot more
- 12:49advanced than I give it credit. I feel exactly the same way when
- 12:53it comes to Facebook because since I've been banned I just
- 12:57checked my my my screen time. I am down 44% in terms of phone
- 13:03usage over the last week from the from the week.
- 13:06Prior so I use my phone anywhere between 8:00 to 9:00 hours a
- 13:09day. Yeah, about the.
- 13:10Same, mine was about 8 hours, it's now five hours.
- 13:14Yeah. So it's just that so I what I
- 13:19want to. Say I need to get banned off
- 13:20TikTok. So what I want to say to Apple
- 13:22is that their, their customer service is great.
- 13:25Listen, those kids are doing a good job and I'm not going to
- 13:28bitch at none of those. Those kids in there, they're
- 13:30young people working really, really hard, super knowledgeable
- 13:34at what they're doing. They are, they're quick, they're
- 13:37you. They're very efficient.
- 13:39They're not playing around. I didn't see any slackies in
- 13:42there. Apparently they have very strict
- 13:44rules about do your job or you're going to get fired.
- 13:46Oh yeah, 'cause everybody was working.
- 13:48I'm sorry, there was nobody staying.
- 13:50I watched that store for hours. Nobody was standing.
- 13:53Well. You had to.
- 13:54There's no other reason. Yeah, yeah, the place was
- 13:56slammed, but. Anyways, let's go.
- 13:57Let's go on some hot topic. But I do need to say this before
- 13:59we go to the hot topic. Apple's got to do better about
- 14:03not having enough repair stores in the city. 1 repair store for
- 14:07almost 1,000,000 people is just not cutting the mustard.
- 14:10No, I'm just telling you and I, you said that there's no store
- 14:13in Saint Pete. No, no, there's only Tampa
- 14:15International. And Brandon?
- 14:17Yep. Brandon Yeah.
- 14:19But that's so that's so far. That's that's farther.
- 14:22So that means there's only one store for 2 million people?
- 14:25Yeah, well, anyways, Jimmy Kimmel's in the news.
- 14:29Jimmy Donald and Melania Trump have malaria.
- 14:32Or, you know, Well, I don't. What did I say last?
- 14:35Week. I don't know, but her name is
- 14:36Malaria. Malaria.
- 14:37Trump, Trump. That's what I've always called.
- 14:39Her oh malignant tumor is what I called.
- 14:41Her malignant. Tumor.
- 14:43She's calling on ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel after he made a
- 14:47joke describing the first lady as having the glow of an
- 14:50expectant widow. It happened before.
- 14:56It happened during a segment parroting the White House
- 14:58Correspondents Association speech.
- 15:01Esme. Did it happen before or after
- 15:03it? I I don't have that in my notes.
- 15:05It happened before before. So it it he didn't know that it
- 15:08was going to happen. He.
- 15:10Was he was doing like a mock? Yeah, and it was a it was a
- 15:12couple of dating, like yeah, a couple of.
- 15:14Comedians. Here's a mock one.
- 15:16Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- 15:17So a religious broadcasting group has filed A complaint with
- 15:20the FEC, Federal Election Commission over the over the
- 15:24incident. And the FCC is also going ahead
- 15:27and investigating ABC for this. I think that it's hysterical
- 15:32that I mean, Donald Trump can go ahead and talk as much shit
- 15:36about other people as he wants. He can just say whatever the
- 15:40fuck he want. Robert Mueller fucking he's
- 15:42dead. Can say whatever he wants about
- 15:45these people. What about when the when the
- 15:47husband and wife got got stabbed by the son?
- 15:50What? I can't think about Carl Reiner.
- 15:53Yeah, he said, he said I'm, he said they, oh, they he was a he
- 15:56was a Trump. He was, he had Trump Derangement
- 16:00Syndrome derangement. And that's why he was killed in
- 16:03his bed with his wife. I mean, what kind of a horrible
- 16:05thing to? Say not only that he talks shit
- 16:07about Nancy Pelosi when Paul Pelosi got fucking yeah, got got
- 16:11so he can go ahead and say as much shit as he wants to say
- 16:16Yeah. And yet the moment somebody else
- 16:18throws it back in his fucking face, he gets offended.
- 16:22Yeah, these are the biggest fucking snowflakes on the damn
- 16:27planet. Crybabies.
- 16:29They are crybabies. They are the most wannabe alpha
- 16:33beta cocks on the fucking planet.
- 16:36I agree. I have never seen a more
- 16:39centralized group of losers in my entire life.
- 16:44I agree like these people have never it.
- 16:47It feels as though they've never even talked to a fucking woman.
- 16:51No, you're right. Like it feels like they are
- 16:53angry because because of the fact that they have been
- 16:56rejected by society and so they can only form a collective to
- 17:00target others. You know, I don't know, I don't
- 17:02know if you guys are the same or if you know people that have
- 17:05gone through this, but anytime someone is ill, anytime you have
- 17:08any type of illness, whether it God forbid be cancer or heart
- 17:12issues or anything. A lot of people have a come to
- 17:15Jesus moment. Even people that are not
- 17:19religious, they calm down, they become more they they consider
- 17:25their lives more, they consider their relationships more, they
- 17:28consider their behavior more. And this is a man that's not
- 17:33well. This is a man whose health you
- 17:35don't I don't need to say is he okay?
- 17:38No, there is clearly the bruising on both hands now, the
- 17:43swelling of the ankles, the face, the sagging on the one
- 17:47side. He's obviously had some a very
- 17:50small, possibly a partial stroke on one side.
- 17:53He this is a man that is clearly visibly in physical trouble.
- 17:59There's there's a health issues going on and it's a lot of
- 18:01things at once. It's not one thing.
- 18:03It's several things. You would think he'd be kinder,
- 18:06nicer, softer. I see more ugliness, more
- 18:09vitriol, more revenge. I don't understand.
- 18:12I don't get it. I.
- 18:13It's yeah, like he definitely wants to, like, leave a legacy.
- 18:16I mean, it feels like, yeah. It like, like everybody is there
- 18:18entering their final years, whatever, you know, and they
- 18:21feel like I I want to leave something.
- 18:23I feel like that's where he's at.
- 18:24But what he wants to leave isn't, you know, this beautiful
- 18:26legacy of hope and, and, and happiness and it's just getting
- 18:29his name on things, getting arches built, getting, you know,
- 18:32ballroom built, anything he can just to put his name on it.
- 18:34So he feels like he left something behind.
- 18:36But it's nothing that anybody is asking for.
- 18:37I was, I was watching a video of Biden with an autistic child
- 18:43would not an autistic, but he's one of those special needs kids
- 18:47and he, I guess his father had died or been murdered or
- 18:50whatever. And the little boy was maybe,
- 18:52maybe about 12 or 13 years old, runs up to Biden and he goes,
- 18:57Sir, Sir, can you hug me? And Biden turns around and said,
- 19:01oh, my God, I would love for you to hug me, too.
- 19:03And they hugged. And I, the little boy, you could
- 19:06hear the little boy say, I'm very, very sad about my dad.
- 19:10And he said. And Biden pulled back and goes,
- 19:12are you OK? And the little boy goes, I'm not
- 19:15OK, Sir. And he said, but you're going to
- 19:17be OK. You're going to be OK Remember
- 19:20that. I remember that your president
- 19:22told you that, OK, you're going to be OK.
- 19:25And then he hugged him again deeply.
- 19:27And you could hear some of the reporters go, oh, this is so
- 19:30beautiful. And that's what we want.
- 19:33Again, we we seek that in our president.
- 19:36We need compassion. We need compassion and empathy
- 19:39and love and I don't know, I don't need you to be a wuss, but
- 19:43I need, you know, my man, my dad was the most masculine man I've
- 19:46ever known in my life, but he still was filled with
- 19:49compassion. You know, I just he Trump.
- 19:55Have you ever seen Trump laugh? He rarely laughs.
- 19:57No, he doesn't. He's not a man of joy like
- 19:58you've never seen him in a joyful man.
- 20:01It's it's, I feel sorry for him, honestly.
- 20:03The man doesn't even love. He doesn't have a dog.
- 20:06No, no, it's yeah, he doesn't. Even a dog.
- 20:09Yeah, you know what I'm saying? I can hate him and at the same
- 20:12time be compassionate for the fact that he is a man who's
- 20:14never been shown unconditional love.
- 20:18So Mary Trump. Mary Trump is his I.
- 20:20Believe she she was the closest thing to giving him.
- 20:22Well, she said that Trump's father never loved.
- 20:26No, no. And none of the sons.
- 20:27But Trump has always wanted to be loved.
- 20:31Yeah, Yeah. And he doesn't get love and he's
- 20:33not lovable, she said. He's not lovable.
- 20:35He's arrogant. He's narcissistic.
- 20:37He's mean, He's rude. Well, he's lovable by the all
- 20:40those who are exactly the same way that you're describing.
- 20:43Yeah, You know, those who are just like him.
- 20:45He's loved. So the people that Scaramucci
- 20:49is, his name, Anthony Anthony, who was in the White House, he
- 20:52said, he said that everyone inside that White House, and
- 20:56this is his quote, I'm quoting him now.
- 20:59Everyone that works under Trump hates him, of course.
- 21:03They can't stand the sight of him.
- 21:04But they love power more They're.
- 21:06Embarrassed by him? Yeah, he is.
- 21:08They see him as a deeply flawed, very weak horse.
- 21:12A bad man. But beta cop.
- 21:14Yeah, but they are. It's correct.
- 21:16They're obsessed with the power. Is more important.
- 21:18Yeah, that's more important than that, but yeah, he said.
- 21:21If you think that those people look when he's gone, when he
- 21:24finally dies, all of them, he said, are going to come out of
- 21:27the woodwork and say many of them are going to say what they
- 21:30really thought about him. I don't know if you ever saw the
- 21:32the clip that of a where a governor Pritzker was talking to
- 21:35a college. It was like 5 or 6 years ago.
- 21:37It went really viral. But his whole theme was how do
- 21:39you spot an idiot? And he points out that idiots
- 21:42often can be very successful, can even become president La La
- 21:45la. But he points how you spot an
- 21:47idiot is you look for the person who's the most cruel.
- 21:50And the reason for that is because, you know, our, our
- 21:53minds, our reptilian brain, our early unevolved brain is
- 21:57designed to sort of recognize what's different and to be
- 22:00afraid of it. You know, like that's, that's
- 22:02evolution. But what is also evolution is
- 22:05that we, we evolved by learning compassion.
- 22:08We evolved by facing our fears, by surrounding ourselves with
- 22:11people who aren't like us and realizing that our fears were
- 22:15unfounded. And that's how we'd be.
- 22:16But if you, the person who's cruel, it's because they never
- 22:19evolved past their reptilian brain.
- 22:21They're still stuck in that place of picking out what's
- 22:23different and making it bad, making it evil, making it scary.
- 22:27And that's, and that's what we're seeing at, you know, and
- 22:29it's, that's part of part of that's emotional intelligence as
- 22:31well. And emotional intelligence,
- 22:32unless it's taught, doesn't just happen.
- 22:35Unless it's wanted, it doesn't just happen.
- 22:38And what we're seeing is this lack of emotional intentions,
- 22:40this lack of empathy, this life of compassion, this level of
- 22:43cruelty. And I think when you talk about
- 22:44the duck thing, that's an example of somebody just being
- 22:47prone towards cruelty for no other reason than just.
- 22:50Well, if you're we can, we can talk about the duck lady now.
- 22:54But, you know, cruelty towards animals is a fine line towards
- 22:59cruelty to humans. Of course.
- 23:01Yeah, If you can hurt an innocent animal, you could
- 23:04easily hurt another person. You know what I mean?
- 23:07So let's talk about the duck lady.
- 23:09So this lady, I got to find her little paper here.
- 23:12She was arrested for running over baby ducks.
- 23:18I'm talking about little, tiny, little, they fit in your hand
- 23:21size baby ducks. They were all walking in a row
- 23:25with the Mama in the front. And that's how they follow her
- 23:28in a little row. You ever see the ducks when they
- 23:30do that? And it's the cutest thing in the
- 23:32world? And Beverly Sasberry, 64 years
- 23:36old, from Jacksonville, saw them.
- 23:40She was in a red Honda Civic. She saw the baby ducks on the
- 23:43sidewalk, so she climbed with her vehicle off the curb onto
- 23:48the sidewalk and ran over all the ducks.
- 23:52She missed the mother by inches. And the only reason she didn't
- 23:55kill the mother is because the mother jumped out of the way
- 23:59hoping the babies would follow her because they do everything
- 24:01she does. But the babies just weren't fast
- 24:04enough. And she killed all the babies
- 24:07and then the mother, the mother duck.
- 24:09And you see, I saw the video though, I, I, which I don't, I,
- 24:13if you're into animals, I'd suggest you not watch it cause
- 24:15the, the, the, the animals blood everywhere.
- 24:19It was just horrific. And thank God it was caught on
- 24:23camera by somebody's front camera of their house.
- 24:26And the lady that owned the house that filmed the camera,
- 24:29she'd been feeding those ducks cornmeal.
- 24:33So it was like they were coming there for her, you know, and
- 24:36then they went to the lady's house because she drove away.
- 24:39But somebody got the license plate.
- 24:41They went to her house and got her and arrested her.
- 24:43And the judge was sickened by her.
- 24:46And he, he gave her 11 counts, including one for cruelty to
- 24:52animals with the, with the intention of killing them, you
- 24:56know. And so, I mean, she's, she's in
- 24:58jail. He said.
- 25:00I don't, I'm not. He didn't want to even give her
- 25:02bond. He was so angry.
- 25:03But I could understand the frustration, you know, killing
- 25:07innocent animals, that's scary. That's a reptilian brain there.
- 25:11Oh, yeah. You know, it's either that or
- 25:12mental illness, which I don't know what's going on.
- 25:15You know, she's 64 years old. She's a year younger than me.
- 25:18But I'm going to tell you, I have no desire to kill.
- 25:20I don't. I can't even kill a lizard
- 25:22Right? Yeah.
- 25:23Do you know what I mean? Which Speaking of lizards, there
- 25:25were two lizards the other day and I was just they were so
- 25:30disgusting that what they were doing they were having sex on my
- 25:33front porch and I did not know that lizards fucked like that.
- 25:39The male lizard got on top of the female lizard and she opens
- 25:42up her mouth like it's like a fake screen but nothing comes
- 25:45out and he was just slamming her.
- 25:48So I'm asking Chris cause Chris would know maybe he can look it
- 25:52up on the Internet. Do male lizards have a penis?
- 25:55I'm. Sure, they kind of got her, I
- 25:58think. Everything has penises.
- 25:59No, everything doesn't have a penis.
- 26:03Do you know I have? Probably 10,000 lizard, do you
- 26:05know? What male lizard to a penis?
- 26:06Yes, they have paired reproductive organs called
- 26:09herpenes, which function similarly to a penis.
- 26:14OK. Wow, I mean it was disgusting, I
- 26:17think disgusting. And then my penis, my brother
- 26:20heard me 'cause I live in the apartment house behind the main
- 26:23house and my brother heard me. He goes Who are you?
- 26:25They. Actually have two.
- 26:27Ohh God they have two. I can barely have the one.
- 26:30One stored inside the base of the.
- 26:32Thanks for including this into my search history as me.
- 26:36Do male lizards have penises? They have one stored at the base
- 26:40of the tail and averted through the cloak during mating.
- 26:46These organs can be Y or V shaped and often adorned with
- 26:51spikes. Ow.
- 26:53So yeah, that's why she was screaming.
- 26:55She was screaming. I'm going to tell you.
- 26:57She looked like she was having a good time.
- 27:00Well, let's not judge them then, shall we?
- 27:01I won't get you. Got a room man.
- 27:03Why don't you hide by some bushes or something?
- 27:05I don't think they understand. I mean I walked walked by them
- 27:08and they just kept right on going.
- 27:10I said can y'all see me? Am I invisible God?
- 27:14Damn, there's the title of the episode Sex Lizards.
- 27:18Well can y'all see me? God damn man these freaking
- 27:21lizards just crazy. I love lizards though.
- 27:25I I can't even going back to what I say I I can't even hurt a
- 27:27lizard. So I would have heard a little
- 27:29ducks, but. See, this is the ADHD that you
- 27:31have. No, but I stay.
- 27:32On track? No, there was no track there.
- 27:35The track was gone. You were going Polar Express on
- 27:38the. No, no, I, but I, I, I didn't
- 27:40lose my comrade. I was talking about the duck
- 27:42lady and how she hurt the ducks. And then I said I couldn't even
- 27:45hurt lizards, much less the ducks.
- 27:46Thanks for the recap. I stay, I stay.
- 27:49By the way, how do ducks? Do ducks have penises?
- 27:52Why the fuck are you so obsessed with?
- 27:54Just open open Incognito mode before you type anything.
- 27:56Do ducks have penis? I think ducks fertilized, yeah.
- 28:02Yes, they have. They're a male.
- 28:04They have a curly. Penis, don't they?
- 28:05A male duck is called a Drake. Yes, apparently.
- 28:09I didn't know that, but yeah, they have a penis.
- 28:12And apparently only 3% of birds bird species have penises.
- 28:19Their penises are typically Corkscrew shaped and can be
- 28:22exceptionally long, sometimes even longer than their bodies,
- 28:26and are are explosive extending in less than a second.
- 28:33I don't know what the fuck explosive means.
- 28:35That means that he sticks it in a real fast he he ejaculates it
- 28:39and then pulls it right back out.
- 28:40It's a fucked up topic. Efficient anyways.
- 28:44Well Esme, other than male duck Dick, what are we going to go
- 28:47out and talk about after the break?
- 28:49So let me see also we're going to talk about the the remains of
- 28:53the missing USF student and what the university wants to do about
- 28:58it as far as giving them some kind of a, a little gift to the
- 29:02family and to the memory of the students.
- 29:05And that's all I have right now. But we got also got the Lincoln
- 29:10Memorial reflecting pool vandalized with 8647 graffiti.
- 29:14We're going to talk about that. We've got RFK Junior threatening
- 29:19to withhold millions of funding because of a specific product
- 29:23that they that that hospitals are giving out.
- 29:27We also got, you know, we're going to talk about Esme's boobs
- 29:32probably some more. We got a House Republicans are
- 29:34pushing nationwide don't say gay bill as well.
- 29:37And then we got some. Happy Cinco de Mayo.
- 29:40Happy Cinco de Mayo. And also we've got some Supreme
- 29:43Court cases to go ahead and go over.
- 29:45But first we're going to go ahead and throw it over to Clara
- 29:47Leeson from Project No Labels for our big gay news and then
- 29:50over to Vin Suasian for Vin on the go.
- 29:52We'll be right back. I'm Claire Leeson from Project
- 29:58No Labels and this is your LGBTQ plus news from around the
- 30:02country and right here in Tampa Bay in Idaho from KUTV, 6
- 30:07transgender residents are suing the state and federal court over
- 30:10a strict new bathroom law set to take effect in July.
- 30:13The law would make it a crime to use a restroom or locker room
- 30:16that doesn't match a person's sex assigned at birth, even in
- 30:18privately owned businesses. A first offense could carry up
- 30:21to a year in jail, with repeat violations rising to a felony.
- 30:25The plaintiffs, represented by ACLU and and Legal, argued the
- 30:28law forces them to choose between staying home or risking
- 30:31harassment, arrest or violence in public spaces.
- 30:34Supporters of the law say it's intended to protect women and
- 30:37children, but those challenging it say there are often no
- 30:40alternative facilities available.
- 30:42In national news from the Washington Blade, Republicans in
- 30:45Congress are pushing to include five anti LGBTQ provisions and
- 30:49must pass federal funding bill. These writers would restrict
- 30:52pride flags at federal buildings, limit diplomatic
- 30:55roles tied to human rights, and block funding for organizations
- 30:58that provide or even acknowledge gender affirming care.
- 31:01Others would expand global gag rules affecting international
- 31:05aid programs. Advocates warn the measures
- 31:07could significantly limit both domestic protection and US
- 31:10influence on LGBTQ plus rights abroad if included in the final
- 31:14budget. In Orlando from Watermark Out
- 31:16News, four major Central Florida organizations are joining forces
- 31:19to award more than $100,000 in scholarships to LGBTQ plus
- 31:23students and allies. The effort includes the LGBT
- 31:26Plus Center Orlando, the Central Florida Foundation, the Drew
- 31:30Project, and the Sing House Scholarship for Performing Arts.
- 31:33The scholarship supports students pursuing higher
- 31:35education, vocational training, and careers in the arts.
- 31:38A joint reception honoring recipients is scheduled for July
- 31:4122nd and several application deadlines are approaching in the
- 31:44coming months. And finally, in Sarasota,
- 31:47Project Pride has named Justin Hunter Cerruti as interim
- 31:50executive Director through at least the end of 2026.
- 31:53Hunter Cerruti, currently the organization's board president,
- 31:56will step into the role as leadership transitions following
- 31:59the departure of the previous executive director earlier this
- 32:02year. Project Pride says the move is
- 32:04aimed at maintaining continuity and continuing its work in the
- 32:07community during the transition. Please remember to stay safe and
- 32:10treat yourself and others with kindness.

- 34:10charce. You want me to translate it for
- 34:13you? Yeah, 'cause I'm, you know,
- 34:14gringo. Today is Cinco de Mayo.
- 34:17It is a celebration that is started in Mexico is not the
- 34:21celebration of the independence of Mexico.
- 34:25It's a celebration actually where they were liberated from
- 34:28France. They were at war with the
- 34:30French. But what makes it interesting is
- 34:33that the American people have turned it into a drinking
- 34:35holiday and Mexicans don't see it that way.
- 34:38By the way, I wanted to add in English, I could have said it in
- 34:42Spanish as well, that if you voted for Trump, you're not
- 34:45allowed to celebrate Cinco de. Mayo no tacos for you.
- 34:48No tacos for you and enchiladas either.
- 34:53Oh my God, Chris I. Can't believe I was in a Mexican
- 34:57restaurant the other day and this biker comes in.
- 35:00I'm I'm a biker. No, Yeah, yeah.
- 35:02This biker and his wife come in and the biker, he's wearing some
- 35:05kind of American flag shirt. I mean, it didn't really have
- 35:06any messaging or whatever, but then the wife was wearing a Gulf
- 35:11of America T-shirt and they're in there picking up their to go
- 35:13order from the Mexican restaurant and I wanted to be
- 35:15like, get the fuck out. Yeah, like seriously.
- 35:18No, you don't belong here. Like no, you don't serve this
- 35:21good Mexican food. And they're the first ones that
- 35:24if they don't get their treatment that they want.
- 35:25That's right, screaming. I might have called immigration
- 35:27on you guys and report y'all probably illegal employees
- 35:30because they love threatening those people.
- 35:32Just as so sad. So yeah, today is Cinco de Mayo.
- 35:38Cinco de Mayo. So Chris is we want to celebrate
- 35:42Chris. He passed the Spanish test.
- 35:45He got yes. And by the way, not only did he
- 35:48pass Spanish, but he's done two things.
- 35:51He doesn't know a word of Spanish.
- 35:54And he won't give me the name of the teacher that passed him
- 35:58because I have been threatening to call this woman and cuss her
- 36:02out and ask her what kind of a scam is she pulling teaching
- 36:05students Spanish that cannot speak Spanish?
- 36:09He can't even speak basic Spanish.
- 36:12I'm surprised I don't understand.
- 36:14Is it can't or don't want to? I don't understand.
- 36:18Just to just to go ahead and clarify this, maybe I don't want
- 36:22to speak. Spanish, I'm in shock, he said.
- 36:25I passed Spanish. What?
- 36:26What, What did? What was the score?
- 36:27You got very high scores. Like an 80 like something.
- 36:30So you got it like I I got it like 97 on the exam.
- 36:33That's what I'm saying. We got a very high score.
- 36:36I'm like, how is it possible that you got 90?
- 36:42He look, he said a full sentence.
- 36:44He said a full dude. Yo, soy gringo, there's my
- 36:47fucking what? Is that anybody?
- 36:50I am gringo and. Gringo is really it's such a
- 37:00well, that's what Castro called the Americans Rogeringo, if it
- 37:04be no Castro, it's so good. Ingo how many candles?
- 37:08That sounds about that sounds like me sounds good description
- 37:11my friend, but so for. You.
- 37:12So is that all you know how to say?
- 37:13You're so good, Ingo. Pretty much that's all I care to
- 37:17say. Chris, it's just Chris.
- 37:20But why wouldn't you give me this lady's number?
- 37:22'Cause it's, I don't want you to go ahead and start shit, 'cause
- 37:25I have, I have her again this next semester.
- 37:28What do you what do you have with her?
- 37:29Spanish too. Again.
- 37:30Yeah, you have to take two different Spanish classes,
- 37:33Chris, or two different foreign language classes.
- 37:37Did you say, did you take foreign language in high school?
- 37:39Yeah, OK. You still have to do it in
- 37:41college. You have to do it again.
- 37:42What I would say is, look, I don't know what you're doing,
- 37:45but this kid can't speak Spanish.
- 37:48Do you understand what I'm telling you?
- 37:50I don't care if you gave him a 98100.
- 37:53I don't care he cannot communicate in Spanish.
- 37:57So what are you running here? What is actually going on here?
- 38:01What is he? How many hours are you are in
- 38:02your class? Three days a week for like an
- 38:05hour and a half. So hour and a half, three days a
- 38:08week, you explain to me what are you teaching?
- 38:11I get it, it's hard like I I think education emphasizes short
- 38:14term retention so much like and I has been I I took three years
- 38:16of Spanish. I still don't actually speak it
- 38:18well though. My accent.
- 38:19It is hilarious. Though, but like, you need
- 38:22immersion. Like if I go and spend a week in
- 38:24Mexico City, I come out like, and I'm, you know, I've, I've
- 38:26gained so much more than I could sitting in, you know, in class.
- 38:29Like it's it's, yeah, but you should know a little.
- 38:32Bit more so when he told me that he was passing Spanish, I got so
- 38:34excited so I said so and he went.
- 38:40He went well I don't understand it that fast so I said OK well
- 38:44let me slow it down. Crito a como estas como la tas
- 38:49pasando men tiendes El espanol que de hablo.
- 38:52You know what he tells me? I knew the como estas like I
- 38:56knew that one. I'll pick that one up.
- 38:59It's incredible to me, I tell you the truth.
- 39:02I said, well, I'm glad at least you got the grade that you need
- 39:04to so you could get through school.
- 39:05That's. All I fucking care about, man.
- 39:07Yeah, that's all I fucking care about.
- 39:09Now do you in the class, do you take words like you study words
- 39:13and you and she says words in Spanish?
- 39:16Yeah. So what is the actual name of
- 39:18the class? Spanish one.
- 39:20Spanish one beginning Spanish so it's for elementary.
- 39:24So it's so she starts with numbers like Uno, those today's
- 39:27Quadro Cinco saying OK, yeah. And basic was like pero gato.
- 39:33Exactly, Casa. Exactly.
- 39:37See. Yas exactly Rojo basic stuff
- 39:39like como estas and stuff like. Como estas moving the?
- 39:43Different like genders for different things.
- 39:45Yeah, do. You know your name in Spanish,
- 39:47Cristobal? Yeah, Cristobal is your name in
- 39:50Spanish? There's we could and we, we, we
- 39:53would say Greece. Anyways, let's fucking move on.
- 39:56I'm done with this shit anyways, Esme, stop yelling about my
- 40:00fucking teachers. You never know, she might be
- 40:01listening, right? I tell you the truth, I would
- 40:03love to talk to her. I have so many questions for her
- 40:06about what she's doing over there 'cause she's getting a
- 40:09check. Why don't you go get the fucking
- 40:11check? I'll tell, I'll tell you this.
- 40:13Y'all would be speaking Spanish if I was teaching that guy.
- 40:15Don't you go and fucking teach Spanish then?
- 40:18Y'all would be speaking Spanish. Go do it.
- 40:20I would tell you that right now. Ain't nobody fucking stopping
- 40:23you anyways. McDonald's is phasing out
- 40:26self-serve soda fountains across the United States, replacing
- 40:29them with drinks prepared behind the counter.
- 40:32The tradition transition. Oh, they're trans.
- 40:34The transition is already underway and is expected to be
- 40:38completed gradually by 2032. It's a part of the broader push
- 40:42to modernize restaurants and adapt to more drive through,
- 40:46takeout and delivery orders. So I'm going to say about that,
- 40:49that I'm kind of surprised it didn't happen sooner because I
- 40:53thought that the self-service is very wasteful.
- 40:55Well, I think, I'm sure also, I'm sure they absolutely,
- 40:58especially in larger places, have, you know, people, maybe
- 41:01homeless people, but who knows, unhoused, who you know, will
- 41:04come in and just fill up a cup. You know, if they're busy, come
- 41:06in and fill up a cup and you know, yeah, so I get it.
- 41:09Yeah, I it's just very wasteful. You, you, you can't monitor
- 41:12portions. You people are just, you know,
- 41:15serving it however they want to serve it.
- 41:17I know I was in a McDonald's in San Francisco and they had a a
- 41:20whole conveyor belt thing that was doing the drinks.
- 41:23Like it wasn't even a person involved it, but just there's
- 41:25the drinks would get filled up by a machine and then come out
- 41:28like so it's crazy. I honestly, I, I, I prefer the
- 41:33fancy ones, like the ones that have like the Coke machines that
- 41:37have all the different kinds of different cokes and stuff, the
- 41:39different flavors and stuff like that.
- 41:41But I like they do at the movie theater.
- 41:43Yeah, I think that that's better at a place like a movie theater
- 41:46or like a a theme park or the Rays have that like throughout
- 41:51the entirety of the stadium. So you can just go ahead and
- 41:53refill. That's kind of where it makes
- 41:55sense. A fast food restaurant probably
- 41:57doesn't make sense. I got it.
- 41:58I went to when I went to see the movie yesterday, deep water.
- 42:02I got a my my son Michael got me a a strawberry soda.
- 42:07That was so freaking good, man. I'm still thinking.
- 42:10I was thinking, I was thinking about that soda right now.
- 42:14It was so good, man. That soda was good.
- 42:18Oh well, by the way, I was going to go and surprise you with
- 42:22these, but I didn't get a chance to go to Costco in my time being
- 42:26banned off Facebook. I've checked the messages on the
- 42:29Instagram and apparently two weeks ago and we had somebody
- 42:33message in saying that Costco has footlong hot dogs.
- 42:38Miss Esme. I did not know that.
- 42:40So you if you want a footlong dog and a footlong bun the only
- 42:44maybe you should go to Costco. Do they sell the footlong bun?
- 42:47Like that guy would assume. So if you got the footlong dog,
- 42:50you don't want a tiny bun overhanging.
- 42:52I've always, I've always felt that hot dogs should be bigger.
- 42:55Well, how long? How long?
- 42:56I mean, they've had, they've had hot dogs all this time, but
- 42:57they're what standard. Like, yeah, what is standard?
- 43:007-8 inches. Yeah, the Costco is the ones
- 43:03that they have prepared, I am assuming is the standard is the
- 43:06standard size, but apparently you can go buy like a pack of
- 43:10footlong hot dogs. Oh no I'm sorry, pre made or no?
- 43:13No, no pre made. Oh, OK.
- 43:15Just yeah, just the just the footlong hot dogs.
- 43:18Is this hard to find? I don't.
- 43:19Know I guess so Esme has complained for Esme was
- 43:22complaining about how how she don't get the long dogs.
- 43:25I love them. Well, I love them.
- 43:27I like. Yeah.
- 43:27Where? Do you get the bun though?
- 43:28That's the good point. That's the bun.
- 43:29The bun is the trick. The bun is the trick, I would
- 43:32imagine. I'm gonna check in on that.
- 43:34I'm gonna yeah 'cause my my son Michael has goes to Costco all
- 43:37the time. Report on.
- 43:38So I'm gonna find out if he can hook me up with them foot long
- 43:41hot dogs. Yeah.
- 43:42Wow, 'cause if I love. Is it just so like you can just,
- 43:45I mean is it too hard to like eat 2 hot dogs?
- 43:47Or is it according to Esme is? It just like if you if you if
- 43:50it's a foot long. So the story I only had I only
- 43:52had one hot dog, the. The the topic started because I
- 43:55went to the Rays game and they had those.
- 43:58They have those all you can eat seats that for.
- 44:01I only paid $25 for this most recent time and you can get
- 44:05unlimited hot dogs, unlimited beer, wine, unlimited popcorn,
- 44:10nachos, sliders, all that fucking shit.
- 44:13I only paid $25.00. It starts at 50 but I ate I
- 44:19think it was like close to 7 or 8 hot dogs.
- 44:21Jesus Christ. I had about 8 or 9 glasses of
- 44:24wine and I had about like 3 or 4 things of popcorn.
- 44:29And yeah, Esme was like, I wonder how much you would have
- 44:33had if they were the footlong hot dog as opposed to the the
- 44:36the traditional size. So you know what hot dog is one
- 44:39of those foods that I could have different ways.
- 44:41Like I I like a hot dog with sauerkraut and mustard.
- 44:46I also like the only thing I don't like on a hot dog is
- 44:48ketchup. I don't ever put ketchup on a
- 44:51hot dog. Yeah, I don't usually like Lube
- 44:53on my hot dog, but I like to slide it down there, Glizzy
- 44:56right down the throne. I think the.
- 44:58I wish you have said that in Spanish.
- 45:01Just something tells you would have been better.
- 45:03It would have been better. Yeah, guess what, You said it in
- 45:06English. You didn't.
- 45:08I I mean, a plain hot dog is what I was referring to.
- 45:11Yeah, I like a plain dog. I mean, sometimes I'll I'll put
- 45:13ketchup on it, but a plain hot dog, Especially the ballpark.
- 45:17Chili and coleslaw. A chili slaw dog.
- 45:21It does, and there's. No need for ketchup because the
- 45:23chili replaces it. You could do a little mustard if
- 45:25you wanted to, but chili and coleslaw?
- 45:27That's all you need. Anyways, RFK Junior is
- 45:30threatening to withhold millions of funding for hospitals that
- 45:33serve jello and other sugary treats.
- 45:39Listen, they have there. Are more important things.
- 45:41There are more important things, but you know, sometimes when
- 45:43you're in a hospital, that's all you can eat.
- 45:46You know what I mean is Jello and but they also sell.
- 45:50Look, if you're I got a friend of mine that's in the hospital
- 45:53right now for diabetes. She's she eats sugar free Jello.
- 45:57They have sugar free jello and it tastes great, you know, so I
- 46:01like jello and it's such a easy, you know, especially if you've
- 46:05had throats, any kind of throat surgery, it slides down real
- 46:09easy. It's easy to swallow.
- 46:10That's. Another thing that slides down
- 46:11easy just like a hot dog makes me want a hot dog.
- 46:15It just makes me want a hot dog real bad.
- 46:18With you guys. But no, Jello is just.
- 46:22What's his? I mean, just it's sugary.
- 46:23I mean, I, I don't, yeah. It's so they have.
- 46:25Sugar free Gatorade. Too it is simply because of the
- 46:28fact that it it He's targeting jello, sugary drinks and
- 46:32processed meals, arguing that they're inappropriate for sick
- 46:35patients. I just think.
- 46:38I think charging charging $20.00 for the jello is what's it's
- 46:42what should be problematic. I agree, but I think you're
- 46:46this, this administration is very known all of them for
- 46:50focusing on the wrong. Which is a huge distract.
- 46:52Everything is a distraction. Everything.
- 46:54We need to. Have focus because the plan is
- 46:56to grip as much as possible before he gets out.
- 46:59Yeah, you've mentioned though that the that the Supreme Court
- 47:01did allow access to mephapristone.
- 47:04Yes, that is one of the that's one of the topics that I was
- 47:07going to say. So the Supreme Court has
- 47:09temporarily restored broad access to the abortion pill pill
- 47:12mphapristone, blocking a lower court ruling that had restricted
- 47:16its use. The order allows the drug to be
- 47:18prescribed via telehealth and delivered by mail or picked up
- 47:21at pharmacies without an in person doctor visit.
- 47:24And the dispute stems from a federal appeals court ruling
- 47:28that that had it had they imposed new limits, reversing
- 47:33policies that have allowed it to be available for several years.
- 47:37So Esme, what is your, what's, what's your, what's your, what's
- 47:41your perspective on this? Eventually it's going to get
- 47:45banned. It just, well, this court is
- 47:49very conservative. They want to end abortion
- 47:51completely and they they want you to carry your rapist baby.
- 47:55They want you to carry that that uncle that raped the the niece
- 48:01or her his own or, or or the father that rapes his daughter.
- 48:04This happens in this country. They want you to carry those
- 48:07babies. Well, you said the same thing
- 48:09about you want them wanting to go ahead and overturn gay
- 48:12marriage, but when they were given the challenge to overturn
- 48:14gay marriage, they didn't actually do it.
- 48:16So I I I argue that that they might go ahead and let miff a
- 48:20prestone. They saw how bad it was they the
- 48:24response they got when they did the blanket override ban.
- 48:29Maybe. They and they just, and they
- 48:31don't have anything. They don't have any.
- 48:32There's no defense for for making it criminal.
- 48:35Viagra has 10 times the chance of of negative side effects or
- 48:40death. That methipristone has 10 times
- 48:42the amount for both. Pills.
- 48:43It's I. Mean.
- 48:45Including a heart attack. Is 97% effective?
- 48:49Yeah, with less than 1% chance of any kind of side effects,
- 48:52including mild side effects. So yeah, it's, it's been long
- 48:54tested. It's it was approved in what,
- 48:562125 years? Yeah.
- 48:59So the body of the missing female University of South
- 49:03Florida student was found. It was the body was.
- 49:07So he chopped her up. By the way, it was confirmed
- 49:11through DNA. So they had to do it.
- 49:12They couldn't do it. They couldn't confirm who she
- 49:14was any other way. He planned this for weeks.
- 49:18By the way, this was not something that he thought of.
- 49:21He bought an inflatable pool that he chopped them up in in
- 49:25his home and chopped them inside the pool.
- 49:28So he planned it very, very carefully and he was online
- 49:32looking for things like how does a body just decompose in a trash
- 49:36bag? How do you weigh a body down,
- 49:41various things like that. He also bought duct tape, the
- 49:44inflatable pool obviously to chop them up.
- 49:47So this was something that. I don't get why people are going
- 49:50ahead and searching this up on Internet.
- 49:52I don't know what the fuck. Like look, look, dumb ass is
- 49:55like, I mean, I I'm not, you know, criminal mastermind by any
- 49:59means, but I know for a fact that that shit's admissible.
- 50:03You will fight. They will.
- 50:04Even if you delete your search history, it's still on your
- 50:07phone. You.
- 50:07Better be clearing more cookies than a fat kid at camp.
- 50:09So the luminol. That's a good one, so.
- 50:11The luminol version of 2026 that is used now to find blood
- 50:16splatters and blood marks even after you clean with bleach is
- 50:21so precise that when they applied the luminol, this
- 50:25advanced luminol that is now being used all over the country.
- 50:29When it was applied in the room where he killed them, the body
- 50:34of the male was curled up in a fetal position where he died in
- 50:40blood. You could see the outline of his
- 50:42entire body in blood. This is after he cleaned it up.
- 50:47OK. The luminol illuminated the
- 50:49exact form of his body in a fetal position, which is
- 50:53heartbreaking that he took that position as he died because he
- 50:58was being stabbed to death. It's just, it's heartbreaking
- 51:03and very, very sad. These were young people,
- 51:05intelligent, creative. They had families that loved
- 51:10them. They were loved by their friends
- 51:12and their teachers. These were not bad kids.
- 51:14They were trying to do something with their lives, right?
- 51:17This is the kind of kids we all dream about.
- 51:19They were also immigrants that came to this country in hopes of
- 51:23using our education system to better not only themselves, but
- 51:27to offer their services to our country with their education,
- 51:31right? So they're both getting
- 51:33doctorates after after death, obviously by the University of
- 51:39South Florida. The University of Florida is
- 51:41going to give them doctorates so that they can they can be
- 51:47remembered that way, you know, so that's how they're they'll be
- 51:50recorded as having achieved their doctorates.
- 51:53So it's very, very sad. It just.
- 51:55I think I, I, and I'm, I'm sorry if I'm wrong about this, but I
- 51:58think I read that the family of the, the murderer, I'm just
- 52:02going to say murderer. I'm not going to say accused,
- 52:04I'm say murderer. It's clear.
- 52:06I believe they said something to the effect that he started
- 52:10things started becoming problematic after he started
- 52:12smoking weed. I believe I read that which just
- 52:15pissed me off. As a regular weed smoker I'm
- 52:17like don't let's not go to this like reefer madness thing again.
- 52:20This. Is weed does not make anybody,
- 52:23does not take a normal person and turn them into a sociopath.
- 52:25There is no psychopathic illness.
- 52:27Absolutely, yeah. Here's the thing, I I I continue
- 52:30to believe that it was a love triangle.
- 52:33I believe that. I believe that he was either in
- 52:36love with the boy or he was in love with the girl.
- 52:40And when they decided to marry each other, which was what
- 52:44happened, he went into I got to get rid of both of them.
- 52:48Now they're not going to if I'm not going to get what I want.
- 52:51I believe that that's what's ultimately going to be
- 52:52discovered. I think it was a love triangle
- 52:56and because. It had to be something that was
- 52:57made him that upset something. Triggered here, Yeah.
- 53:00And this was a violent. Stabbing is a very.
- 53:02Violent. He stabbed them many, many times
- 53:04and then he chopped their bodies up, which is, you know.
- 53:09Well, I just got a new notification.
- 53:12Trump is restoring the Presidential Fitness test in US
- 53:16schools, bringing back the Performance Based Fitness
- 53:19benchmark. He certainly.
- 53:20Gets to be the first one, he certainly.
- 53:21The first Test Badass. So the the move reverses an
- 53:26Obama era shift that replaces the test with a food with a
- 53:29program focused more on overall health than the competition.
- 53:37Honestly. So according to this article,
- 53:40recent data shows that over 21% of US youth is considered obese,
- 53:46with 7% considered severely obese.
- 53:49We do have an issue in terms of fitness, but honestly, it starts
- 53:52the fucking president. If this motherfucker would stop
- 53:56eating McDonald's every fucking day, drinking his fucking Cokes,
- 54:01all this shit, he probably set a really good example for these
- 54:05fucking kids. And yet he goes ahead and and
- 54:08starts this stupid fucking policy of presidential fitness
- 54:12tests. I I never understood that.
- 54:15What it, what when you're in school?
- 54:17Yeah. No, it was, it was always
- 54:18unfair. Like, I mean, I could never do a
- 54:19single goddamn pull up, but I could do like more crunches than
- 54:23anybody else. Like I was, I wasn't fat, but I
- 54:25was soft. But like, I just had a core and
- 54:27I could just just, but like, not a I'm just standing there.
- 54:30They're like just you got to at least try and they're like, OK,
- 54:33you can let go now. I never really made any sense
- 54:35comparing kids. Yeah, it doesn't.
- 54:38I mean, it's, it's not. Your like, what is it actually
- 54:41do? Yeah, like it doesn't actually
- 54:43like, oh, you can show us how many sit ups you can do, but
- 54:47whenever. I mean, I did the presidential
- 54:49fitness test when I was a kid. They never really prepared us
- 54:55before. They were showing us how to do
- 54:57sit ups while the presidential fitness test was happening.
- 55:01And how many sit ups would you have to do?
- 55:04As many as you can do it in a minute.
- 55:06In a minute, I think it. Was 30 or 35 I want to say.
- 55:09But like the mile. I mean, I could never get under
- 55:118 minutes on the mile. The Pacer test was the killer.
- 55:14Know that I could I. Couldn't reach.
- 55:17Yeah, like I'm, I'm all legs. Oh, I did the Oh, I fucked with
- 55:20the sit and reach. I actually the the box that they
- 55:24had with the inches. I could actually reach over the
- 55:28box over to the edge. I I fucked with that.
- 55:31I was, that's why I was concerned, fit.
- 55:33So listen, I want to talk to you guys about these movies that
- 55:36I've watched. Oh yes, let's talk T so.
- 55:39Of Movies. OK, so the first one that I saw
- 55:41was Michael, and I told you when I was talking to you yesterday
- 55:45that Michael is a fluff piece. It's a sugary fluff piece, not
- 55:49based on facts, but reality. Like I said, even Even so much
- 55:54as that they left a core characters, central characters
- 55:57out of the story. Janet Jackson is not even
- 55:59mentioned as though she's not even a member of the family.
- 56:02There's about 25 minutes of the movie that really covers the
- 56:06story itself. And then the rest of the movie
- 56:09is just videos move little, little video increments of him
- 56:14recording these famous videos. And it's fun to watch because
- 56:17they're they're legendary videos that you remember.
- 56:21Jafar did a great job. I mean, he really did do a great
- 56:24job as far as portraying Michael, but he really didn't.
- 56:28It's when people say on, you know, on the tail, this is an
- 56:31Academy award-winning performance.
- 56:33No, it's not. No, it's not the movie and
- 56:35Academy. The movie ain't going to get
- 56:37nominated for nothing. It's going to make a lot of
- 56:39money. I will tell you this, and this
- 56:41is not to be disrespectful. The theater that I went to, it
- 56:44was packed with black people. The majority of the people who
- 56:48watched the movie were of people of, you know, of black people of
- 56:50color. Yeah, people of color the the
- 56:52white people just not interested in it.
- 56:53You know, I went because I wanted to see my for myself.
- 56:56Well, you're not white. You're.
- 56:57You are also a. Person of color, yeah, brown
- 57:00skin. So.
- 57:00But I noticed that also they portrayed Joe Jackson as a
- 57:06villain, which he was, but as, as Janet said in an interview,
- 57:12he was much, much worse than they portrayed him.
- 57:16They were really, they were really kind to him.
- 57:18You know, Joe Jackson was very evil to his sons.
- 57:23Michael, in an interview, told Barbara Walters that he would
- 57:28rehearse him as a little boy with a belt in his hand.
- 57:32And sometimes he said he wouldn't use the belt.
- 57:36So we'll leave it at that. So he used his fist, you know
- 57:38what I mean? So this is how he trained them.
- 57:41You know, this is a very violent.
- 57:43He slept, you know, he cheated on all his wives.
- 57:46Yeah. By the way, there's a lot of
- 57:47controversial Neil. Nia Long, the girl that plays
- 57:51the mom, she is very upset because she found out that the
- 57:55guy that's playing the dad is getting millions of dollars for
- 57:59the role while she was subjected to like, I don't know, 500,000
- 58:03or whatever it was. She's not getting what he's
- 58:05getting and she's. Really negotiating.
- 58:08She's really upset about that and she's running her mouth.
- 58:11And I'm going to tell you, if I was her people, stop running
- 58:14your mouth. Next time you make better deals,
- 58:18don't do what Monique did to herself because Monique has
- 58:21destroyed her career. You couldn't get Monique booked
- 58:25in a movie right now if she paid them OK?
- 58:30And that's because Monique went on all these podcasts and
- 58:33interview shows. Oprah Winfrey, she made Tyler
- 58:37Perry, my next door neighbor, the lady across the street, my
- 58:42grandmother's fourth cousin. She's blaming everybody for the
- 58:46failure of her career. So don't do what Monique did.
- 58:49Stop these interviews. Stop it.
- 58:52It's your fault. You got that money.
- 58:54You should have made better deals, Chris said.
- 58:56It make better deals, you make better choices, you get better
- 58:59outcome. She made bad choices.
- 59:01So Michael, out of five I give it a 2.
- 59:06A2. It's not now this movie that I
- 59:09saw last night, Deep Water. Really liked it, but it's
- 59:13stressful. Plane traveling from one city to
- 59:17another. They crash there.
- 59:20There is a, there is a battery pack, a charger inside the
- 59:25luggage in the hold of the ship. And the heat from the hold, this
- 59:33heat under there from the engines heats up the metal
- 59:37container that it's in. The metal metal container gets
- 59:41so hot it starts heating up everything inside.
- 59:43It's made of metal. It heats up the freaking battery
- 59:47and the battery catches on fire and that causes an explosion.
- 59:52And so the plane now has to crash.
- 59:54They're over the ocean, middle of the ocean, Singapore,
- 59:59somewhere out there. And the planets go down.
- 1:00:03They were at 10,000 feet. They went to 1000 feet.
- 1:00:06They went to 5500 feet, then they went to 100 feet.
- 1:00:09When they got to 100 feet, all the bells and alarms were
- 1:00:11ringing. Pieces of the ship were flying
- 1:00:14open as people flew out. Anyway, it's a fabulous, one of
- 1:00:18the best crash scenes I've ever seen on film.
- 1:00:22I don't want to give it all away because there's that crash scene
- 1:00:25is so long that it's so much happens to the actual plane that
- 1:00:30they really depicted like it would.
- 1:00:32It was a real but I mean. What was it called again?
- 1:00:34It's called deep water. It's.
- 1:00:36One of the sharks too. It's a shark film, right?
- 1:00:38That's a shark. The crash was it.
- 1:00:40There were 244 passengers. Only 36 of them survived.
- 1:00:44Those 36 are now facing. They're out in the middle of the
- 1:00:48ocean. The box that's supposed to send
- 1:00:52out the message is in a part of the ship that's about a mile
- 1:00:56away. They can see it, but they have
- 1:00:58to swim to it. Oh my God.
- 1:01:02And they're surrounded by a beating frenzy of sharks eating
- 1:01:06the bloody bodies, bringing more sharks.
- 1:01:09So anyway, the rescue is incredible.
- 1:01:13The whole movie is just, Oh my God, I really enjoyed it.
- 1:01:16Out of five stars, I'm going to give it a four.
- 1:01:18I really, I really liked it a lot.
- 1:01:21It's really weird because the movie is not getting that much
- 1:01:23attention in the press, but it's really good.
- 1:01:26And what was the third one that I saw?
- 1:01:27The I saw three of them. I saw.
- 1:01:31God, I saw. My well, I'll go ahead and I'll
- 1:01:33jump into a different topic and while you think about.
- 1:01:36That yeah, I got to look it up. So House Republicans are
- 1:01:38advancing a federal bill that would require parental consent
- 1:01:41before schools recognize or support a student's gender
- 1:01:45identity. The proposal, called Protect
- 1:01:47Kids Act HR 2616, would apply to public elementary and middle
- 1:01:52schools receiving federal funding.
- 1:01:54Schools would need permission from parents before changing a
- 1:01:57student's name, pronoun, gender markers, or access to facilities
- 1:02:01like bathrooms and locker room. The bill ties the requirements
- 1:02:04to funding under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act,
- 1:02:07which supports low income schools.
- 1:02:10I'd love to get your perspective on this, Miss Esme, because it's
- 1:02:15the the House Republicans don't say gay bill.
- 1:02:18What's your perspective on that? Well, they're fishing, you know
- 1:02:24what I'm saying? They're fishing to see who's
- 1:02:26going to bite. And hopefully people will push
- 1:02:29back. But if we take the House and the
- 1:02:31Senate, all this is going to die in the water.
- 1:02:34Yeah, like those people did yesterday in that movie.
- 1:02:36Talk about that. But you know what I'm saying?
- 1:02:42But they're just fishy. They're trying to see what let's
- 1:02:45try to pass this. Trans people can't can't wear
- 1:02:48red anymore. That red is illegal.
- 1:02:50Now I'm just coming up with crazy.
- 1:02:52They're just, they're just fishing to see who's going to
- 1:02:54bite, you know? But listen, even if you pass a
- 1:02:57law that says don't say gay, people still go say gay, you
- 1:03:01know, they may not say it in the workplace or whatever.
- 1:03:04You just can't get rid of people like that.
- 1:03:07You know, listen, the problem with the gay movement, I'm going
- 1:03:10to tell you what it is. Too much of it has moved
- 1:03:14forward. It's going to be very hard to
- 1:03:16put it all back inside the box. You know, it's just too, we've
- 1:03:20made too much progress. You know, I think Amy Comedy
- 1:03:24Byrd, is that her name? Amy Comedy, Byrd.
- 1:03:25Yeah, she kind of led on to that when she voted for keeping
- 1:03:32marriage rights. You know, we've already, in
- 1:03:35other words, we've already come too far now.
- 1:03:37We just can't reverse this now. You know, people already tied in
- 1:03:42with their, with their taxes together, their insurances
- 1:03:45together. It would be a disaster to re,
- 1:03:48you know what I mean? It would complicate things more.
- 1:03:51That would make it easier. So they're just, I think it's a
- 1:03:54fishing trip, but it could, they could bite.
- 1:03:58No, I don't think it's going to go anywhere.
- 1:03:59I don't think so either, but. I think that there's enough,
- 1:04:03there's enough Senate Republicans, at least I know
- 1:04:07that would go ahead and vote against something like that
- 1:04:10because they are just too moderate.
- 1:04:12I don't think they would go ahead and and go for that House.
- 1:04:16That's a that's another question.
- 1:04:18But I think that we have a very slim, they the Republicans, we
- 1:04:22have a, a Congress with such a slim majority that I don't think
- 1:04:27that it would be able to get enough traction to actually
- 1:04:29pass. But anyways other.
- 1:04:32News I have one more movie I got.
- 1:04:34It OK what was the movie? The Devil Wears Prada too, I
- 1:04:36saw. That I saw that yesterday as.
- 1:04:38Well, I liked. It it was good.
- 1:04:40I liked it. And some people are mad that
- 1:04:42Miranda is not as evil in this one.
- 1:04:45And what I'm going to say to that is Miranda is 22 years
- 1:04:49older in this movie than she was in the last movie.
- 1:04:52Yeah. And she has grown the fuck up.
- 1:04:55Yeah, she's still the same woman.
- 1:04:57Oh, I guarantee you OK, 20 years ago you were probably acting a
- 1:05:01little bit more. So she's she's still a bitch.
- 1:05:06Yeah, no, I think I thought they played it perfectly.
- 1:05:08Like she is a little softer, but she's.
- 1:05:10Grown up. I love how.
- 1:05:11Though like there was the whole like HR thing.
- 1:05:13Like she basically she, she realized it like HR wouldn't
- 1:05:15allow her to talk the way that she used to talk.
- 1:05:18HR won't allow her to just throw her coat down on the desk
- 1:05:21anymore. Like I love how like they made
- 1:05:22reference to like, well, times have changed in the last 20
- 1:05:24years so she can't quite do what she used times.
- 1:05:26Have. She was smart.
- 1:05:27It was. And she has evolved as a person.
- 1:05:30I love the storyline. I love her.
- 1:05:32It was, it gave me a little bit of all about Eve missing,
- 1:05:35working under her and then trying to take her spot.
- 1:05:38You know what I mean? I love Miranda because Miranda
- 1:05:45has a lot of self-confidence. Even in this movie, you could
- 1:05:49see. What did you think I didn't
- 1:05:51know? You don't think somebody's told
- 1:05:53me, You know, she wasn't. She was always too.
- 1:05:56She was always 2 steps ahead of them on everything.
- 1:05:59Let's be honest, there is no way in hell Miranda ever would have
- 1:06:02set in coach. Let's be very clear about one
- 1:06:05flight. It was.
- 1:06:05It was hilarious. It was.
- 1:06:07Funny, it would never fucking happen.
- 1:06:09It was so funny. It was so funny.
- 1:06:11It would never happen. It was so.
- 1:06:12You'll see it when you see it. Yeah.
- 1:06:13Yeah. But I did like it.
- 1:06:15I I I'm sorry, but I did like the movie.
- 1:06:17It was great. I loved it.
- 1:06:18I loved it. I think that.
- 1:06:20Especially for a sequel. I didn't.
- 1:06:21I was, I was prepared to being a little disappointed and I I was
- 1:06:24not. It was.
- 1:06:24It was good. Some sequels are like,
- 1:06:26disappointing. I need to be that guy.
- 1:06:28Moana too. Still haven't watch the entire.
- 1:06:30Every time, every Moana 2 is not the problem.
- 1:06:34Except Moana live action with Chris with the Excuse me with
- 1:06:38the Rock and that. And that and.
- 1:06:41That Farrah Fawcett wig. Every time.
- 1:06:43Every time the trailer comes on I go, girl, I don't know how you
- 1:06:46let them put you in that wig. I don't know who decided that,
- 1:06:49but I. Want to say, girl, who put you
- 1:06:51in that wig, 'cause everything that's a woman's, it looks like
- 1:06:54a, it looks like a lady's wig that you buy at the wig store
- 1:06:58and she just slapped it on her head.
- 1:06:59One of them Party City wigs. No, it's a no.
- 1:07:01It's a good wig. It's.
- 1:07:02It's. It's but it's just curly and
- 1:07:04pretty. It's fair.
- 1:07:05It's fair. And that character is supposed
- 1:07:08to be frizzy. Yeah.
- 1:07:09You know, it's supposed to be like a wow.
- 1:07:11Diana Ross like. More yeah, it's almost like a
- 1:07:13wow, girl, she's got them curls, she's going she's like girl,
- 1:07:17I'll help you. And it's almost like a gay
- 1:07:20character It's just I'm like, what is going on here?
- 1:07:24But. Well, I got AI, got another.
- 1:07:26Either one topic or two topics, the US Supreme Court has ruled
- 1:07:30that states should not rely on racial demographics when drawing
- 1:07:33congressional districts. Addition, a decision expected to
- 1:07:38make it harder for minority candidates to get elected.
- 1:07:41The ruling weakens a key part of the Voting Rights Act, long seen
- 1:07:44as a cornerstone of the civil rights movement.
- 1:07:47Civil rights veterans say the decision threatens decades of
- 1:07:50progress in building Black potential representation.
- 1:07:53And Ron DeSantis has gone ahead and also said that the the
- 1:07:57ruling has gone ahead and and emboldened him to go ahead and
- 1:08:01do his own. To be racist.
- 1:08:03To be racist, yeah. And so and.
- 1:08:06'Cause he needs to own it. I was, I was talking to Daddy
- 1:08:08Lance about this off air. If it was a perfect world where
- 1:08:14racism and racist people did not exist, then this provision
- 1:08:20wouldn't have had to become in place.
- 1:08:23However, unfortunately we had individuals who would go ahead
- 1:08:28and basically cut communities in half, black communities to go
- 1:08:32ahead and make sure that they don't have the black
- 1:08:35representation within Congress that they should have.
- 1:08:38And so if it were a perfect world, I would agree race should
- 1:08:43not be a part of the demographic that these individuals are
- 1:08:47choosing from. What Clarence Thomas is saying
- 1:08:50is that racism no longer exists. That's what they like to say
- 1:08:52exactly. It would be great if that was
- 1:08:56the case. In his world, in his world of
- 1:09:00power and privilege, he's right. It does not exist in his world
- 1:09:06of power and privilege. But in the real world where
- 1:09:09regular black Americans are out on the street living their lives
- 1:09:12and struggling, there is racism. It does exist.
- 1:09:16There is no power and privilege for them, especially for those
- 1:09:20that are under the lower spectrum of the economic level.
- 1:09:23You know what I'm saying? So he is right.
- 1:09:26Racism doesn't exist for him because of his where he where
- 1:09:29he's at, and the social spectrum.
- 1:09:32But for everybody else it does exist.
- 1:09:34This is really this is really Jim Crow 2 point O.
- 1:09:37So I mean, but I do think that they they may have worded it in
- 1:09:41a very suspicious way that might go ahead and favor it towards
- 1:09:47being able to go ahead and say if there is a black community
- 1:09:51that gets cut in half basically. So 1 is only voting for one side
- 1:09:55and there's not that sort of representation available.
- 1:09:59Who's to say that that can't that logic can't be used about
- 1:10:03the white districts that go ahead and get pushed.
- 1:10:06So I think that if it, if it is a situation where we're going to
- 1:10:10actually have more fair redistricting, it would be
- 1:10:13something that I agree with. If the people who are doing the
- 1:10:16redistricting weren't racist as fuck if they weren't the
- 1:10:20children of Confederates. I genuinely feel as though if we
- 1:10:26had no racism then this would be a a a justifiable choice through
- 1:10:33this court. However this is we are in a
- 1:10:39racist world. We are in a racist world.
- 1:10:41You can't deny. That and, and I, and I love how
- 1:10:43you worded that because it's racism is not unique to the
- 1:10:47United States. No, not at all of.
- 1:10:49Course, it's, it's it's, it's worldwide.
- 1:10:52Ask any black person that's travelled to Japan, right.
- 1:10:54Oh yeah. And get on and get on a city
- 1:10:56bus. I, I, I know 'cause I had a
- 1:10:58black friend of mine that went to Japan and he said, girl, me
- 1:11:01on a bus, you'd have thought, you'd have thought the worst
- 1:11:04criminal in the, I mean, people were moving.
- 1:11:07They're like openly racist. They, they don't even hide it,
- 1:11:10you know, I mean, it's just, it's, it's racism And, and by
- 1:11:15the way, a lot of cultures, not just the, the Japanese and in,
- 1:11:19in, in Italy, there's a lot of racism.
- 1:11:20Ohh, yeah. And in France, there's a lot of
- 1:11:22racism. So these these countries go
- 1:11:25ahead and act as if the the rise of right wing extremism is
- 1:11:29happening exclusively in the United States, when in reality,
- 1:11:33right wing extremism and right wing politicians and these hard
- 1:11:36right conservatives have been popping up in every single
- 1:11:40country. I mean, Japan, I think it was
- 1:11:44the first female Prime Minister, but she's also one of the most
- 1:11:47conservative individuals that they've had elected in recent
- 1:11:50years. The rise of right wing extremism
- 1:11:52is going to happen worldwide. I'm going to say this and I'm
- 1:11:57probably going to, you're going to probably get tired of hearing
- 1:11:59it because you work with me every week.
- 1:12:01But I hope my and I hope our listeners don't get tired of
- 1:12:03hearing it because it's so important that I keep repeating
- 1:12:06it over and over and over and over again.
- 1:12:09And that is, if Hungry can do it, we can do it.
- 1:12:13Absolutely. And they are.
- 1:12:15I look at them, they were 16 years into an authoritarian
- 1:12:20fascist slice slash communist regime that was literally
- 1:12:27outlawing everything, women, homosexuals, the the bars had
- 1:12:31been banned everything. They were live an oppressive
- 1:12:34government separated from the United Nations, literally cut
- 1:12:38off from the world for 15 years. They were into the dark ages and
- 1:12:43all of a sudden they're free. They are free from that.
- 1:12:46And you know, if they can do it, we can do it because we're not
- 1:12:51as far as they were. We're not nowhere near.
- 1:12:54We never will. We never will because of the way
- 1:12:57that the term limits have been presented.
- 1:12:59We never will because no matter how hard Donald Trump tries to
- 1:13:03push an executive order saying that he can get a third term.
- 1:13:05And what do we say on the show about executive orders?
- 1:13:08They are not solid. They're not laws.
- 1:13:10I mean, they, they, they are, they're regulations.
- 1:13:12Yeah, they're regulations, but they're not a law.
- 1:13:14Well, I got this last topic, one last topic, and then we're going
- 1:13:18to go ahead and promote Daddy Lance a little bit more.
- 1:13:21US Park Police are you got to go.
- 1:13:23I got it pretty soon. Oh, OK.
- 1:13:25Yeah, this is this is going to be a real quick one.
- 1:13:27US Park Police are investigating after a large 8647 graffiti
- 1:13:32message about 15 by 30 feet was spray painted at the Lincoln
- 1:13:36Memorial at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
- 1:13:39The reflecting pool is currently under renovation and the
- 1:13:41vandalism was discovered Friday morning and quickly covered
- 1:13:44while cleanup was arranged. Obviously, you know, for those
- 1:13:49who do not know, 8647 is essentially means 80. 6.
- 1:13:54Get rid of and it could also possibly it's just basically get
- 1:14:00rid of the the president at this point.
- 1:14:02I worked in a restaurant and when they would say 86 table
- 1:14:0647's meal that would mean remove just cancel it.
- 1:14:10You're not murdering anybody, no.
- 1:14:11Just cancel the food. Just cancel the order 86.
- 1:14:15Cancel it. Yeah, let's cancel Trump
- 1:14:17anyways, Daddy. Lance, thank you so much for
- 1:14:19joining us today. It's been amazing having you.
- 1:14:22So how can go people? Go ahead and find more
- 1:14:25information about your your stuff.
- 1:14:28Absolutely. You can check out my web
- 1:14:29website, daddylance.com. You can also follow me on
- 1:14:32Twitter. X at Daddy Lance SF.
- 1:14:36That was when I lived in San Francisco on Instagram.
- 1:14:38I'm Daddy Lance SP and you can also find me on Blue Sky at
- 1:14:42Daddy Lance. Awesome.
- 1:14:43Well Esme, do you have any last minute thoughts?
- 1:14:46No, I don't really have any things.
- 1:14:47All I was going to say is make sure that you check your voting
- 1:14:51status. Please do not wait.
- 1:14:54I, I say this every week, don't wait until October or September
- 1:14:58to do check on it now and check on it periodically over the
- 1:15:02summer. Check on it again in September.
- 1:15:04This time as we near the midterms, we got to be 100%
- 1:15:08certain we can all get out there and vote.
- 1:15:10So check your voter registration.
- 1:15:13And the most important thing is vote.
- 1:15:16Once you get it, you know, if you can vote, vote.
- 1:15:18Don't sit out. No matter what happens, no
- 1:15:20matter what they tell you on TV, your vote does count.
- 1:15:24Absolutely. And don't get desensitized by
- 1:15:27the media. Don't let Donald Trump's fear
