Don't Use Gendered Language (revisited) · Armstrong & Getty One More Thing

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Stop using gendered language. It's one more thing. Armstrong and Getty.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: One more thing.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: That's a classic clip we play on the Armstrong and
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Getty show. You're about to hear the origin of it.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Before we get to that, I had a huge parent
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: fail today, and I just can't let go of the guilt.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I got to find a way to let go of
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the guilt. Parent fail, parent fail. Not life or death.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Just one of those things that fell through the cracks
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: that I feel guilty about. I completely forgot to alert
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: my son to the fact that it's picture day at school.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: And now he's going to be not in his favorite
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: shirt for his school picture, which he's at that age
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: where he cares about that sort of thing. And I
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: should have told him, like I said yesterday, I'm not
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a good mom. If I were a good mom, I
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: would have been on top of that. I'm not a
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: good mom. So I'm feeling good. I don't know what
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: shirt he wore today, but probably just a run-of-the-mill shirt,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: uncombed hair.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: The transcendent importance of picture day at the time to
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: parents as well who get built for high dollars for
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the packages of pictures. And then the relative importance of
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: those pictures years later. It's a real contract.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I always wore my favorite shirt, usually for picture
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: day when I was a kid. I think we all did, yeah.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I'm saying it's really important at the time. It's funny now,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I've got a box full. You know, we've got a
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: picture of our kids at this age, maybe in that age,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: but it's not like we have a lineup of grades,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: you know, K through, you know, graduation from college of
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: each of our kids on the wall. I mean, it's just, eh.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: My kids, same with you, Katie, but my kids all
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: were born after the smartphone. So I have eight quintillion
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: pictures of both of my kids from bloody babies fresh
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: out of mom till now. And I in my mind,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: someday I'm going to put them together in some sort
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: of organized something or other. But I wonder if that
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: will ever happen. Like, I've got every one of their
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: haircuts from their first haircut, and almost always they were together,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and they're very cute pictures. Almost every one of their
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: haircuts from the first haircut until, well, until now, really.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: And I always thought those would be cool pictures side
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: by side all the way through. After they get their haircut,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I always have them come stand outside of the barbershop
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: with their lollipop back when they were little. They're too
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: cool for lollipops now. Side by side at the barbershop
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: with the picture, and I thought those would be great pictures.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: But am I ever going to actually put them together again?
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And then print them out? And then frame them? It
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: seems unlikely to me. Oh, shoot.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: That reminds me. I'm supposed to be putting together a
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: photo book.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: God damn it. I totally forgot.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I should do that.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: My mom would love that if I put that together.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: The look of horror on my mom's face. You know
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: how you have those memories from real young? Not necessarily
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: anything before it or after it, but just like the
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: sponge memory.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for some reason.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: My first grade picture, I remember coming home and the
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: look of horror on my mom's face because she'd spent
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: a whole bunch of time that morning, like curling my
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: hair and making it look nice. And I got mad
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: at it and I pulled it all out right before
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: the picture. So I got out of the car and
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: she's like.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: What happened to your hair? I was like, I didn't
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: like it. And you remember that moment. Like you said,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the moments like there's nothing before or after it. It
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: just sticks out. You have several of those from your year.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Hard to figure out why some of those make such
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: an imprint. They last your whole life. Yeah.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: But I have some of those too.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Her poor face. What happened to your hair, Kate? I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: hated what you did. That's what happened. I didn't like
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: your work. Yeah.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, so here's what we got here. So this happened
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: in Sacramento seven years ago, the year 2019, the DSA convention.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: But back then... the democratic socialists of America weren't what
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: they are now in terms of their significance. So we
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: didn't pay it that much attention. We played these clips
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and we laughed at him, everything like that. But we
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: didn't know that this was going to be a movement
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that elected a U S Senator probably here in a
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, or, you know, gave you the mayor
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: of the two biggest cities in America, which will be
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: true here soon. Yeah. The DSA has turned out to
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: be a big deal, but this is a DA in Sacramento,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: including a clip that we play on the air all
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the time on the Armstrong and Getty show. Just run
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: them all back to back. This is when they had
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: their meeting and this is how difficult and what a
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: pain in the ass it would be to try to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: be a democratic socialist when they're having their meeting and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: all the various complaints and crazy things that happen.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: And then, uh, and then let me consult the people
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: who are counting. So everyone who is not a counter
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: take a seat.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: Take a seat. Everyone.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Everyone on the walls, take a seat so that we
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: can count. When there's so many people moving around, it's
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: very difficult to count.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Quick point of privilege.
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: Quick point of personal privilege. Guys, first of all, James Jackson, Sacramento, he, him.
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: I just want to say, can we please keep the
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: chatter to a minimum? I'm one of the people who's very,
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: very prone to sensory overload. There's a lot of whispering
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: and chatter going on. It's making it very difficult for
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: me to focus. Please, can we just, I know we're
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: all fresh and ready to go, but can we please
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: just keep the chatter to a minimum? It's affecting my
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: ability to focus.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: Thank you, comrade.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Thank you, comrade.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Hang on, hang on.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I don't want to play them all back to back.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I want to comment.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Note that you will hear many, many people bringing up
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the narcissism of small distinctions. That guy wanted everybody to know.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I'm very easily, I've got sensory overload issues. That's my thing, blah, blah, blah.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: It's not the last.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: That is the biggest thing about the woke crowd is there.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I've got to outdo you with my particular difficulties in life.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, outvictim you.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Outvictim you. That is probably the biggest and most annoying
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: part of that whole crowd. And the thing I want
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: my kids to not have the most. That's what I
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: fight the most. Anytime they even come close to anything
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: close to that, like within 100 miles of that, I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: try to shut it down.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: What is the explanation for this? Everyone at home, I'll
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: repeat roughly with me or say it with me. They've
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: been taught from the earliest age that the world is
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: divided into oppressor and oppressed. The oppressors are bad people.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: The oppressed are good people. So these poor kids are desperate.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: And even James Jackson, he, him, is desperate. For people
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: to know I'm oppressed. I'm actually oppressed. Don't call me
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: a bad person because I am a white male and
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: probably straight. So he's desperate to show he's oppressed in
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: some way. So he's a good person. God, you people
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: are pathetic.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: The second that I hear the pronouns or I read
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: them on a social media profile, I immediately turn off.
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: Idiot.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Idiot.
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: Idiot.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: It's as if there's a flashing red light. Right. Well,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: it's certainly a dividing line. When I was briefly doing
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the online dating, the people that had pronouns in there
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: at the top of their list is just like, for
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: a certain crowd, that's, oh, yes, definitely. And for a
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: certain crowd, it's an immediate swipe away. I don't need
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: to know a single other thing.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Next.
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: Is there a speaker against name, chapter, pronoun?
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Point of personal privilege.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Please do not use gendered language to address everyone.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Okay. That guy was so... He couldn't believe people were
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: using he and she in sentences. He was so upset
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: about it, he couldn't even catch his breath. Or I
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: think somebody said you guys. Right, right.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Please do not use gendered language to address everyone.
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine being that upset about that? That somebody
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: said you guys... It's labeled as a trans person, is
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: that right? Yeah, if you.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: I just saw this video for the first time, actually.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: The guy that does the... is wearing, like, a bright
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: red dress and a fire engine red wig.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't know that.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, and, like, made his way up there like he
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: was in a metal mosh pit.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Just, like, pushed his way up.
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: Like.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: And you said this was seven years ago? Yeah. God,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: things have only gotten so much worse. Right. Well, we
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: mocked this back at the time, but with no idea,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: like I said, that they're going to elect a U.S.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: senator and a couple of major mayors that this party
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: was going to take off. Because they don't use a
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: gender language.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: They've learned to avoid using gendered language.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Play that whole one again there, Michael.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: Okay, is there a speaker against name, chapter, pronoun?
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Point of personal privilege.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Please do not use gendered language to address everyone.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, you're scaring me.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: That's the kind of person that gets so mad when
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: they see my Cybertruck and they look at me and
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: they flip me off and they're just like, oh my God,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I can't believe that's in front of me. The guy's
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: driving a Cybertruck. That's the same sort of person. It's like,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: you just said you guys. Oh my God. It just
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: makes you fall apart. It's so weird. These people don't
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: realize how weird that is that you get that emotional
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: about these things. Please stop driving gendered cars.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Trucks.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. It's pretty weird.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Roll on, big mama.
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: First of all, in this room, I see that no
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: one's clapping for me. It could be because I'm not engaging,
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: but it also is because everyone's doing this. And that's
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: really important because those loud bursts of noise, even though
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: this is a noisy space, when we can do something
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: like reducing that, that's really important.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: So please don't clap, shoot up these.
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: And additionally, with the noise issue, like avoid hissing, avoid
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: waving banners, right?
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: If you don't know what to do, show up these, right?
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: I'm sure there's lots of ways that we can communicate
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: to each other without needing to rely on something that's
• 10:39
  Speaker 8: going to hurt somebody else.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: So you're supposed to put your hands in the air
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and wave them back and forth? Jazz hands. As opposed
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: to clapping because that's too violent to sound and some
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: people can't handle it.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: The companion to the I've got to show I'm oppressed
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: or have a problem is how vulnerable I am. That's
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: another woke characteristic that We're always under threat. I mean,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: if somebody clapped their hands, I mean, God knows what
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: the damage that would do.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding? You people are hilarious. I gotta go
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: to one of these sometime. The next time they have
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the big convention, I gotta go. Imagine how entertaining that
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: would be. And then to pretend to be one of
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: them would be so much fun.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: We need to unleash an army of trolls to go
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: to these gatherings. Well, then they'll start vetting attendees.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Should I? Yeah, exactly. I'd have to dress a certain way.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, just wear that blonde wig that you rocked around
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: the station for a while.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I was going to say I could get fake horns,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: look like one of those guys that got horns. And then, oh,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: they make the magnet little bull nose rings. Yeah, fake
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: bull nose rings. I could walk around, just say, God
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: dang it, you know, we're at the table, we're all
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: getting our coffee, our organic single source coffee. With a
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: little goat milk in it. Fair trade, I hope. Fair
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: trade coffee. Please stop drinking non-fair trade coffee. I mean, God,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: can you believe how much gendered language we're hearing around here?
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: What is this, a Republican convention? Are you with me?
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: And we'd fist bump, or maybe you don't fist bump. Oh, no,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: that's way too violent. Yeah, just wave your hands. Jazz hands.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: No, you do the air fist bump because you don't
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: make any contact because COVID.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, right, right, right. I'd have to have a mask on.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Of course I'd have to have a mask on. Next clip.
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: We have quiet rooms that are available. There's a range
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: of options of these, right? On 7, there's one that
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: has video but no sound. If you still want to
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: be able to observe the convention, but the sound is
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: an issue. There's also, on Piedmont 8, a completely quiet room.
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: One thing to note there, please don't go into that
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: space with anything that's, like, an aggressive scent, for instance, right?
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: Because that's going to be difficult for people.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: An aggressive scent! It's better than I remember. It's just...
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: flipping amazing how do these people not realize how silly
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: they sound to normal people we've got a video room
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: culture yeah where you can go out and quiet and
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: watch a movie we also have a video room where
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: it's the video without the sound if you can't handle
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: the sound And then, please, no scent of any kind
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: for people who can't handle sound or smell.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: I'd go in there eating a Subway sandwich. Just crinkle
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: that thing up with the, you know, somebody eats one
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: of those on a plane.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Lots of onions.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, so many onions. So you can't handle sounds or
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: smells or lights. Maybe I should just smother you with
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: a pillow. What are you using here, bubble boy? Exactly.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Come on. Final clip.
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: Don't talk to cops. Don't talk to MAGA. Oh, we're
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: almost there. Just this, but thank you.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I was laying out all the rules. Final one.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, but no, they went, please stop saying excited.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: I was going to say all those sensory issues sure
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: went out the window when they cheered for the anti-MAGA comment.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Please stop making the sound. It bothers me. Point of
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: personal privilege. Point of personal privilege.
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: Idiots.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: All trying to outdo each other with their weirdness. Right.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: And then the people in the crowd think, oh, God,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't even think about the people who can't handle
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: strong smells. We didn't accommodate them. All right.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: So we need a non-smelling room. We've got a non-sound room.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: You don't have to look at anything room. What else
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: have we missed?
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Do you have a floor that's all carpeted? Because I
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: can't walk on tile.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Too many cracks. You break your mom's back. You know,
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: stresses me out. Well, the sound of the clicking of
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: the heels.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I need to be floating weightless in body temperature goo, please.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Because gravity bothers me a lot. I need to be
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: suspended in a tank. Of body temperature goo. For people
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: who can't handle gravity.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Could you please direct me to the goo room?
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: So you'd be floating in body temperature goo with no light,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: no sound and no smells. Right. And I feel somewhat threatened.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: And that is the only moment of your entire life
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: that you've ever been comfortable and not felt under threat.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: You weirdos. Socialism never works. It sucks. Please clap. Well,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I guess that's it.
