- 1:18Speaker 5: we're gonna do this Gay Week with Scott Jacobson so
- 1:21Speaker 5: we can start the year hearing about gay news from

- 1:27Speaker 5: I know I did it on Monday, but I'm doing
- 1:29Speaker 5: it twice this week because I really want to start
- 1:32Speaker 5: spreading the news about what's happening to gay's around the globe,
- 1:36Speaker 5: and I have a voice to do that, so I
- 1:38Speaker 5: want to do it. Also, we're going to cook some
- 1:40Speaker 5: incredible lentil pasta. Oh my god, it's so good. It's
- 1:44Speaker 5: so good, and it's so healthy for you. And I
- 1:48Speaker 5: know that today you're not worrying about calories. But starting tomorrow,
- 1:55Speaker 5: I know a lot of you are planning on reducing
- 1:57Speaker 5: your fat asses and you know, trying to do some
- 2:02Speaker 5: a little bit watching what you eat. Again. Look, resolutions
- 2:08Speaker 5: are bad because we fail at them, okay, and then
- 2:11Speaker 5: we beat ourselves up. But that doesn't mean I don't
- 2:14Speaker 5: want you to try to make some positive changes in
- 2:16Speaker 5: twenty twenty six. Okay, I want to make some positive changes.
- 2:20Speaker 5: I want to lose weight. I do. I know that
- 2:22Speaker 5: that you're not supposed to on the first day of
- 2:24Speaker 5: the year put that on yourself, but I do. I want.
- 2:27Speaker 5: But I wanted to lose weight last month, so it's
- 2:29Speaker 5: not like it's new for twenty twenty six. The whole
- 2:32Speaker 5: losing weight thing. You know, I've been wanting to lose weight.
- 2:36Speaker 5: I want to do more with the show. I want
- 2:39Speaker 5: to expand it. And you know, these last two weeks
- 2:42Speaker 5: over the holidays, the shows have been great. We've had
- 2:44Speaker 5: guests doing this Gay week. We've had cooking segments. We
- 2:48Speaker 5: had that wonderful Als show, which maybe you liked, maybe
- 2:52Speaker 5: you didn't, but I really really liked hearing from those
- 2:55Speaker 5: people and bringing something outside of the world of politics
- 2:58Speaker 5: to you. So, you know, it is New Year's Day.
- 3:01Speaker 5: Did you out last night? Did you party? Did you
- 3:03Speaker 5: have fun? Did you stay home, have friends over, go
- 3:06Speaker 5: to bed early? What'd you do? Tell me down in
- 3:08Speaker 5: the comments. I, of course I did go to the pub.
- 3:12Speaker 5: I did. I made it to the pub, and I
- 3:15Speaker 5: had a grand and glorious time, and I was home
- 3:18Speaker 5: by four forty five before it got dark. I was
- 3:23Speaker 5: like Ember, because she went to the pub. I was like, Ember,
- 3:27Speaker 5: we are going to be home before it's four forty five,
- 3:29Speaker 5: before dark, safely in our you know, behind our gates.
- 3:34Speaker 5: We have gates. I'm behind gates. Oh honey, I have security.
- 3:37Speaker 5: Oh yeah, you can't just walk into my house or
- 3:40Speaker 5: you know, no, there's gates. And so I was like,
- 3:42Speaker 5: we're gonna be behind the gates before dark. And we were,
- 3:48Speaker 5: and that it was. It's great. It was fun, you
- 3:51Speaker 5: know what, because I came home after that and I
- 3:53Speaker 5: just I watched a great movie, Head of a g
- 3:56Speaker 5: d DA. You all should see it, really good. I
- 3:58Speaker 5: watched a great movie and then, you know, had a
- 4:04Speaker 5: couple shots of Baileys in some hot cocoa, and went
- 4:09Speaker 5: to bed at my normal time ten o'clock. There were
- 4:12Speaker 5: fireworks at ten. The people are already firing them off, assholes.
- 4:17Speaker 5: Ember just hates them so much. I hate fireworks so much.
- 4:21Speaker 5: I don't you know, why do we feel that we
- 4:23Speaker 5: have to start the new year literally with a bang?
- 4:26Speaker 5: I mean, they emulate bombs and war, you know. But
- 4:31Speaker 5: drone shows are really taking over, they really are. I
- 4:35Speaker 5: did not get a chance to watch the Rose Parade
- 4:36Speaker 5: this morning. I was at the park while you guys
- 4:39Speaker 5: were watching the Rose Parade. I was because yes, I exercised. Yes,
- 4:43Speaker 5: I'm jogging up the hill this morning. Yep, same as always.
- 4:47Speaker 5: So I didn't get to watch the Rose Parade. I'll
- 4:49Speaker 5: watch it later. I think it'll be on Peacock or something.
- 4:52Speaker 5: But I'll watch it later because I you know, but
- 4:55Speaker 5: did you hear San Francisco's float in the Rose parade
- 4:59Speaker 5: has no LGBTQ presence. Did you hear that? Another Happy
- 5:08Speaker 5: New Year? Pick a finger? All right? When we come back,
- 5:12Speaker 5: I know that a lot of you are trying to
- 5:15Speaker 5: eat better, and so I made some lentil pasta and
- 5:19Speaker 5: I make my pasta from scratch. If you don't, you
- 5:22Speaker 5: really should buy yourself a pasta maker. They're cheap. You
- 5:26Speaker 5: can get one for under one hundred dollars and it
- 5:29Speaker 5: just fresh pasta is so much better. It cooks so
- 5:32Speaker 5: much faster. It cooks in three minutes, and it just
- 5:35Speaker 5: tastes better. And you can make it with stock, or
- 5:38Speaker 5: you can put things like pumpkin or spinach in it.
- 5:41Speaker 5: And I don't mean in the pasta. I mean you
- 5:42Speaker 5: can make the pasta out.
- 5:44Speaker 4: Of those things.
- 5:45Speaker 5: Very cool. So come to my kitchen when we come back,
- 5:49Speaker 5: and later in the show we'll do this day week
- 5:51Speaker 5: with Scott Jacobs. Welcome to the first show A welcome.

- 6:19Speaker 1: Show time is here. So on with the show. Let's
- 6:23Speaker 1: give it a go.
- 6:24Speaker 3: Corilla is the one that you need to know.
- 6:29Speaker 5: You know, one of the most important things in life
- 6:32Speaker 5: is health. It is, and so my show in twenty
- 6:36Speaker 5: twenty six, I pledge this, We're going to be doing
- 6:38Speaker 5: more health topics, including cooking and exercise. I might even
- 6:44Speaker 5: lead you on a yoga class one day. Would you
- 6:46Speaker 5: like that? Would you'all have to do yoga with me?
- 6:50Speaker 5: Because we could do a thirty minute yoga class. You know,
- 6:53Speaker 5: we really could and just do yoga. Uh So, I
- 6:58Speaker 5: really want to to inspire you to become more plant based,
- 7:04Speaker 5: even if you won't commit to being a full vegan.
- 7:08Speaker 5: I'd very much like to get you to be more
- 7:10Speaker 5: plant based, Okay, because again you've heard me say it
- 7:15Speaker 5: a thousand times. It is the only way we are
- 7:18Speaker 5: gonna save the environment. The only way that we're gonna
- 7:21Speaker 5: save Planet Earth is if we all go more plant based.
- 7:24Speaker 5: And so I'm gonna get more preachy about that in
- 7:26Speaker 5: twenty twenty six and get you in the kitchen more.
- 7:30Speaker 5: I don't care if I lose viewers. I don't care
- 7:32Speaker 5: if Stephanie Miller doesn't cook on her show. I don't
- 7:36Speaker 5: care that David Pacman doesn't cook on his show, or
- 7:39Speaker 5: that Don Lemon. That's their gig, that's them, that's who
- 7:43Speaker 5: they are. I have never been a traditional talk show host.
- 7:47Speaker 5: So we're gonna travel more in twenty twenty six. And yes,
- 7:50Speaker 5: I'm gonna come and see you in San Francisco at
- 7:53Speaker 5: the Hotel Nico. I think in March and other cities.
- 7:58Speaker 5: If you want me in your city, I'm gonna go.
- 8:00Speaker 5: Amber and I are going to come. Hopefully she's ten now,
- 8:04Speaker 5: so I need her to make it a few more years.
- 8:07Speaker 5: I'll be so devastated. Oh, I don't want to think
- 8:09Speaker 5: about that on New Year's Day. So I hope you're
- 8:12Speaker 5: having a fun New Year's Day with family and friends
- 8:14Speaker 5: and starting some good habits. That's what I want you
- 8:18Speaker 5: to do. So why don't we start by cooking some
- 8:22Speaker 5: fresh lentil pasta filled with protein, just filled with protein
- 8:28Speaker 5: and so good. I ate the fuck out of it,
- 8:31Speaker 5: and I had enough. Oh I had enough for days.
- 8:34Speaker 5: Oh my god, it was so good. The sauce. I
- 8:36Speaker 5: just wanted to slap somebody. How did I make it?
- 8:39Speaker 5: I made it just like this. Nice. Hello, there are
- 8:55Speaker 5: my little pops. How are you welcome to Carell's kitchen.
- 8:57Speaker 5: What am I doing today, you might ask? Well, I'm
- 9:00Speaker 5: making vegan spaghetti bolonnise with lentils and tofu to pump
- 9:04Speaker 5: up the protein. Pump up the protein. So over here,
- 9:07Speaker 5: I've got my handy Phillips pasta maker, which you just saw,
- 9:10Speaker 5: and I have made some pasta. There we go. I
- 9:14Speaker 5: need eight ounces of pasta.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Now.
- 9:17Speaker 5: Remember dried pasta one serving is two ounces, okay, but
- 9:22Speaker 5: with fresh pasta one serving is four ounces. Also remember
- 9:26Speaker 5: it takes much less time to cook fresh pasta than
- 9:30Speaker 5: dried pasta. And so far we've got right here, some mushrooms,
- 9:35Speaker 5: we got some carrots, we got some onions. We're gonna
- 9:38Speaker 5: get some red wine roasted tomatoes. Here we go. Here
- 9:41Speaker 5: it is right here. See, we're gonna get some red
- 9:46Speaker 5: wine roasted tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, bay leaf, red
- 9:50Speaker 5: wine vinegar. Then the pasta, some tofu that we're gonna
- 9:54Speaker 5: fry up, and a tablespoof a nutritional yeast. There's the
- 9:58Speaker 5: instructions right there. This recipe is from me forks over
- 10:03Speaker 5: knives and chat GPT. I had it adjust for protein
- 10:09Speaker 5: and calories. I'm staying under eighteen hundred calories a day.
- 10:13Speaker 5: So we're gonna put all that in the pan. We
- 10:14Speaker 5: wanna cook it up, Cook it up, cook it up.
- 10:17Speaker 5: Then we're gonna cook our pasta and then combine it.
- 10:19Speaker 5: Come on with me and let's do it, baby, let's
- 10:22Speaker 5: do it. Let's do our pasta.
- 10:24Speaker 3: Right.
- 10:25Speaker 5: Here's a pro tip, baby, other than I need a
- 10:28Speaker 5: new calfel on pan. Put some oil around there. Why
- 10:34Speaker 5: why are you gonna put oil around there? So you
- 10:36Speaker 5: don't boil over? Don't be boiling over in your own kitchen? Okay,
- 10:40Speaker 5: so put that oil. What I do is I use
- 10:43Speaker 5: the spray and I just spray right around it, and
- 10:51Speaker 5: then I just rub. There we go. It's your damn camera. Focus.
- 11:02Speaker 5: There we go. It's read to go. You don't need
- 11:05Speaker 5: some of that pasta water for your sauce too. Oh
- 11:07Speaker 5: and don't forget the lentils. They up in their honey.
- 11:10Speaker 5: They've been resting now for twenty five minutes, so I
- 11:12Speaker 5: should be able to open this. There we go. There's
- 11:16Speaker 5: the lentils. That is a half a cup of lentils
- 11:20Speaker 5: right there, which cooks up to more than a full
- 11:22Speaker 5: cop actually, and in the pressure cooker, I put half
- 11:27Speaker 5: a couple of lentils, a cup and a half of
- 11:29Speaker 5: water and let it go for eight minutes and then
- 11:34Speaker 5: ten minute pressure release. Bam, there you are lentils. Baby.
- 11:42Speaker 5: So the fresh pasta maker makes just about a little
- 11:45Speaker 5: over eight ounces of pasta. That is two servings right there,
- 11:49Speaker 5: two servings four ounces per serving. So you got your
- 11:53Speaker 5: two servings right there. Some may Christmas, baby, Yes, it's
- 11:58Speaker 5: the holidays, and I'm in the kitchen during the holidays,
- 12:01Speaker 5: don't you. What are you looking at? Well, if you're
- 12:04Speaker 5: like me, you like to buy the whole garlic already peeled,
- 12:08Speaker 5: but it goes bad quickly. Guess what, You can freeze
- 12:10Speaker 5: the baby, So I freeze it up in there and
- 12:14Speaker 5: that way when I need three clothes of garlic, there
- 12:17Speaker 5: they are and they dethought instantly, and it stays fresh forever.
- 12:21Speaker 5: So buy the big tub at Costco. Just freeze it. Okay,
- 12:26Speaker 5: that is all. Look at that, it is all cooked down. Pasta.
- 12:29Speaker 5: Water is almost ready. We've got that going on. We
- 12:34Speaker 5: are now going to add the red wine, it says
- 12:37Speaker 5: a quarter. Oh, We're now gonna add the red wine.
- 12:39Speaker 5: It says, cook a or a quarter cup. I say,
- 12:42Speaker 5: put as much as you want. Then we're gonna add
- 12:45Speaker 5: the tomatoes, lentils, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and bay leave
- 12:49Speaker 5: and simmer. Sounds fun. Huh, there goes the wine. Yeah,
- 12:56Speaker 5: that's about a quarter cup.
- 12:59Speaker 9: Or not.
- 13:02Speaker 5: Who cares, it's your kitchen. Besides, you know, it's a
- 13:06Speaker 5: myth that the alcohol cooks out. It would take like
- 13:09Speaker 5: an hour and a half for the alcohol it could
- 13:11Speaker 5: call out. So you are gonna get a little alcohol.
- 13:13Speaker 5: So if you are alcohol adverse, don't use the wine.
- 13:19Speaker 5: But it'll diguage your pan. And look at that. Oh
- 13:26Speaker 5: doesn't that look yummy? Simmer that for a few minutes,
- 13:29Speaker 5: and then add in the rest of the You want
- 13:31Speaker 5: the wine to evaporate for the most part. And then
- 13:35Speaker 5: add in the lentils and the tomatoes and the Italian
- 13:38Speaker 5: seasoning and the bay leaf, and then we'll simmer. All right,
- 13:41Speaker 5: it's almost evaporated. So here's a tip. Never use wine
- 13:45Speaker 5: that you would not also drink. Okay, so let's add
- 13:49Speaker 5: the tomatoes. Yummy, yummy, yummy, and the tomato paste and
- 13:56Speaker 5: then the seasoning. It's the seasoning. Is that uh, and
- 14:04Speaker 5: we're gonna let that simmer. Let that simmer and simmer.
- 14:08Speaker 5: Let that simmer for about ten minutes. Okay, Now it's
- 14:11Speaker 5: time to cook the pasta for about four to six minutes. Oh,
- 14:14Speaker 5: we need salt, salt. How could I forget salt? Salt?
- 14:20Speaker 5: Baby salt in there. Let that dissolve, and a tablespoon
- 14:34Speaker 5: of nutritional yeas is gonna go in there in the sauce.
- 14:41Speaker 5: Come on, focus you, you camera you, because everything's better
- 14:47Speaker 5: with nutritional yeast. Puts that in there. This is only
- 14:50Speaker 5: gonna cook for four minutes because it's fresh pasta. And
- 14:54Speaker 5: then put it least half a cup of pasta water
- 14:56Speaker 5: in your sauce, maybe even a cup. Oh, in the
- 14:59Speaker 5: lentils is forget the lentils. We gotta put them in.
- 15:03Speaker 5: Gotta put them in. Then go the lentils. The tofu
- 15:09Speaker 5: is frying in the air fryer. It'll go in the sauce. Last, okay, dok.
- 15:18Speaker 5: The tofu is in there. Don't forget. Do not be
- 15:21Speaker 5: ghetto and leave your bay leaf in there.
- 15:23Speaker 9: Take it out.
- 15:24Speaker 5: The tofa is in there, The l everything's in there. Now,
- 15:26Speaker 5: the red wine vinegar is in there. We've got it
- 15:29Speaker 5: all in there. The pasta is not boiling over because
- 15:33Speaker 5: I put the liquid the grease up there. But it's
- 15:36Speaker 5: almost done. It started three minutes ago. I let it
- 15:39Speaker 5: go for four minutes and then it's done. I can
- 15:42Speaker 5: taste it now and see, have a little piece here,
- 15:47Speaker 5: Get a little piece of the pasta. Honey, my fancy

- 20:12Speaker 5: My mother loved to go out to the VFW on
- 20:14Speaker 5: New Year's Eve, the Veterans of Foreign War Club, she
- 20:17Speaker 5: loved it, or the American Legion. They loved to go
- 20:19Speaker 5: to those two places, and they would drink and drive
- 20:23Speaker 5: home because as soon as they got home around one
- 20:26Speaker 5: or one thirty, they always took my sister and I
- 20:30Speaker 5: out for breakfast, always at like one o'clock in the morning.
- 20:35Speaker 5: We'd go to Denny's or somewhere, and they'd be happy
- 20:38Speaker 5: and drunk. We lived no car wrecks. I don't recommend it.
- 20:43Speaker 5: We should have taken an uber, but there weren't any
- 20:45Speaker 5: at the time, and the cars it was in the
- 20:48Speaker 5: sixties and seventies were built like tanks. And so I
- 20:52Speaker 5: do a big breakfast. I've already had it on New
- 20:55Speaker 5: Year's Day to get things rolling. But I don't really
- 20:58Speaker 5: do like a New Year's lunch or New Year's dinner.
- 21:02Speaker 5: I like to go out and eat on New Year's Day.
- 21:05Speaker 5: What about you? Do you have a New Year's gay tradition?
- 21:08Speaker 5: Put it down below, all right? Later on in the show,
- 21:10Speaker 5: we're gonna check in with Scott Jacobson in Canada. Uh
- 21:14Speaker 5: for this game. He's still had this trio minus the
- 21:18Speaker 5: gone December twenty fifth, minus the gone five.
- 21:26Speaker 10: Oh lord, Smata, now it's show side.
- 21:59Speaker 5: Oh okay, I could hear you all screaming in the
- 22:04Speaker 5: chat room, and you know, just in your house or
- 22:07Speaker 5: in your car black eyed peace, and you don't mean
- 22:10Speaker 5: with Fergie. I probably should have cooked those instead of
- 22:13Speaker 5: the lentil pasta for today's show, because yes, you're supposed
- 22:18Speaker 5: to eat three hundred and sixty six black eyed peace,
- 22:22Speaker 5: one for every day of the year, plus one for
- 22:24Speaker 5: good measure. I know people that actually count them, but
- 22:28Speaker 5: you're supposed to make black eyed peas for New Year's Day. Now,
- 22:32Speaker 5: I don't know where that tradition. Let's ask chat GPT.
- 22:36Speaker 5: I know it's a Southern tradition, but I don't know
- 22:39Speaker 5: where that Southern tradition came from. Like why on New
- 22:42Speaker 5: Year's Day did they you know, black eyed peas? Let
- 22:46Speaker 5: me see, let's ask why black eyed peas on New
- 22:52Speaker 5: Year's Day? FYI? You know, black eyed peas have a
- 22:57Speaker 5: history in the South, and the history is that during
- 23:00Speaker 5: the Civil War, the troops from the north, they burned
- 23:05Speaker 5: all the crops as they rode through the South, so
- 23:08Speaker 5: they tried to starve those people out, but they didn't
- 23:11Speaker 5: burn the black eyed peas. And I don't again, I
- 23:15Speaker 5: don't mean well I am, because they didn't see it
- 23:18Speaker 5: as food. See, to them, black eyed peas were just
- 23:22Speaker 5: to feed the cattle and the animals. They didn't think
- 23:25Speaker 5: people really ate them. In New York City and Connecticut
- 23:29Speaker 5: and Massachusetts and Vermont, wasn't anybody eating any black eyed peas.
- 23:35Speaker 5: Remember this is the time where transporting things like that
- 23:38Speaker 5: from the South to the North would take a long time,
- 23:40Speaker 5: So they didn't eat a lot of black eyed peas.
- 23:44Speaker 5: And so when they marched into Atlanta and such, into
- 23:47Speaker 5: Georgia or whatever where they grew the peas. They didn't
- 23:50Speaker 5: burn them. It was the only crop they didn't burn.
- 23:53Speaker 5: And that's why they're such a big hit in the South.
- 23:58Speaker 5: Maybe that's why they eat them on the New York Day.
- 24:00Speaker 5: Let's check. Black eyed peas are eaten on New Year's
- 24:02Speaker 5: Day for luck and prosperity in the South, but the
- 24:05Speaker 5: tradition has older roots. Black eyed peas swell and cooked,
- 24:10Speaker 5: symbolizing growth and abundance in the coming year. Because they
- 24:13Speaker 5: fatten up, they're often paired with colored grains, which symbolizes money, greens,
- 24:19Speaker 5: baby corn bread which is gold wow. And pork ugh
- 24:26Speaker 5: it for progress because pigs root forward, not backwards. How
- 24:32Speaker 5: about that we can skip the pork, just use liquid
- 24:35Speaker 5: smoke the dish Hoppin John. Black eyed peas and rice
- 24:39Speaker 5: and pork became a New Year's staple after the Civil War.
- 24:42Speaker 5: During Sherman's March, Union troops destroyed crops but left black
- 24:46Speaker 5: eyed peas thinking they were animal food. See they helped
- 24:50Speaker 5: I'm so smart. They helped many Southerners survive, so they
- 24:53Speaker 5: became associated with resilience and good luck. Black eyed peas
- 24:57Speaker 5: originated in West Africa and we're brought to America through
- 25:01Speaker 5: the Transatlantic slave trade. Wow, so they're not even from here.
- 25:06Speaker 5: They came with slavery. Many food traditions carried spiritual symbolism
- 25:11Speaker 5: tied to survival, hope, and renewal. Well, who knew all this?
- 25:15Speaker 5: I didn't know all this. New Year's deir rituals are
- 25:19Speaker 5: about setting intention. Eating lucky foods is a way of
- 25:23Speaker 5: inviting good fortune. Some traditions say eat at least one
- 25:27Speaker 5: pea for luck. Some say eat three hundred and sixty
- 25:30Speaker 5: five piece for luck for every day of the year.
- 25:32Speaker 5: What did I tell you? So if you eat five hundred,
- 25:35Speaker 5: it's fine, you have a lot of good luck. You
- 25:38Speaker 5: gotta add hot sauce for strength, you add rice for unity. Wow.
- 25:45Speaker 5: If you skip it entirely, they say you are tempting faint.
- 25:50Speaker 5: How about that child? Wow? I did not know that
- 25:56Speaker 5: black eyed peas did not come from America and that
- 25:59Speaker 5: they were brought here by slaves. Another thing we owe
- 26:03Speaker 5: to black people. Thank you black people. But you'd never
- 26:08Speaker 5: hear you know, white people acknowledge that. But even these days,
- 26:12Speaker 5: if you told Maga that black eyed peas were here
- 26:15Speaker 5: because of slavery, they'd say, no, they're American because they
- 26:20Speaker 5: act like black people aren't American. You know, they always
- 26:23Speaker 5: say white people built this nation. No, it was Chinese,
- 26:27Speaker 5: and black Chinese built the railroads. Black people built everything,
- 26:34Speaker 5: trying to think of they built everything, and the Irish.
- 26:38Speaker 5: The Irish also built a whole lot of stuff. So
- 26:42Speaker 5: that's why we black eyed peas on. What are some
- 26:44Speaker 5: of your traditions you just heard about mine? I will
- 26:48Speaker 5: eat black eyed peace today, I most definitely will. I'm
- 26:53Speaker 5: gonna have to cook. I'll use the pressure cooker cooks
- 26:55Speaker 5: him in twelve minutes. If you want to make black
- 26:58Speaker 5: eyed peas, just take a up a piece black eyed
- 27:01Speaker 5: peas and wash them, put them in the pressure cooker.
- 27:04Speaker 5: Put three cups of stock, add some collared greens, liquid
- 27:07Speaker 5: smoke cuman, smoked paprika, and a bunch of hunks of garlic.
- 27:14Speaker 5: Close it, cook it for twelve minutes, let it naturally,
- 27:18Speaker 5: steam release and juana. I also put onions and a
- 27:23Speaker 5: meer paw. I put carrot, onion and celery in there
- 27:26Speaker 5: as well. That's called a mirror paw by the way,
- 27:29Speaker 5: in Sofricho in Spain, and a meer paw in the
- 27:34Speaker 5: United States so well, or French French cooking, which is
- 27:38Speaker 5: how we cook a lot here in the United States.
- 27:40Speaker 5: So if you want to make them today, it's not
- 27:42Speaker 5: too late. You have to soak them, not if you
- 27:45Speaker 5: is a pressure cooker. Isn't that the wonders of a
- 27:48Speaker 5: pressure cooker, an insta pot, or whatever you want to
- 27:50Speaker 5: call it. You don't have to soak your beans. So
- 27:54Speaker 5: how many of you before we go to this Gay Week,
- 27:58Speaker 5: how many of you are hesitant about twenty twenty six?
- 28:06Speaker 5: We always talk about what's happy New Year and all
- 28:08Speaker 5: this good luck ahead of us. How many of you
- 28:11Speaker 5: actually have some fear right now about twenty twenty six,
- 28:18Speaker 5: because we'd be crazy not to you know, we'd be
- 28:23Speaker 5: crazy to not worry that between now and them. See,
- 28:29Speaker 5: because it's the midterms, and I think he knows that
- 28:34Speaker 5: there's a really good chance the Dems are going to
- 28:36Speaker 5: win the midterms. And that means he's kind of like
- 28:40Speaker 5: a cornered animal, you know what I mean, A fairal
- 28:43Speaker 5: sort of cornered animal. And I don't know what he's
- 28:48Speaker 5: gonna do between now and November. Will he do something
- 28:53Speaker 5: that can make the elections not happen? I mean, that's unprecedented.
- 28:58Speaker 5: But could he do something to stop the elections altogether?
- 29:02Speaker 5: I don't know. Maybe, I don't know. Is he gonna
- 29:06Speaker 5: do horrible things between now and November to try to
- 29:09Speaker 5: cram it all in in case he realizes that he's
- 29:12Speaker 5: not gonna have as much power afterwards, So to the
- 29:16Speaker 5: next eleven months hold unspeakable horrors because he's cornered. I
- 29:24Speaker 5: don't know. It's a valid thoughts, though ya, it's the
- 29:28Speaker 5: valid thoughts, all right. When we come back, Scott Jacobson
- 29:31Speaker 5: and I had some journalists from Canada will join us
- 29:34Speaker 5: and tell us all about this Yay week. I'll be
- 29:37Speaker 5: with him, of course, to talk about some of the
- 29:38Speaker 5: biggest stories from around the globe affecting LGBTQ people on
- 29:43Speaker 5: this New Year's Day.
- 29:44Speaker 11: It's broadcasting from a completely different point of view yours.
- 29:50Speaker 11: Listen daily to the Carell cast on your favorite streaming service.
- 30:00Speaker 1: Show Time is here. No time to fear.
- 30:03Speaker 2: Corralla is so near because show time is here.
- 30:07Speaker 1: So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
- 30:11Speaker 3: Corilla is the one that you need to know.
- 30:15Speaker 4: Now. It's show side.
- 30:30Speaker 5: All right. Is there any good gay news out there?
- 30:33Speaker 3: Man?
- 30:33Speaker 5: Scott, I'm gonna try to search for some and see
- 30:35Speaker 5: if maybe it's not all doom and gloom in This
- 30:38Speaker 5: Gay Week with Me and Scott Jacobson coming up next.
- 30:41Speaker 5: So don't go.
- 30:42Speaker 6: Anywhere uncensored, unfiltered, un hinged.
- 30:50Speaker 7: It's the Corral Cast. Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.
- 30:59Speaker 5: All right. Scott Jacobson is a journalist with The good
- 31:03Speaker 5: Man Project and he writes a column every week called
- 31:05Speaker 5: This Gay Week, inspired I think by me because once
- 31:09Speaker 5: he interviewed me, he said, let's do it, So we do. Uh,
- 31:12Speaker 5: And I've decided to tape them and have them because
- 31:14Speaker 5: of the time difference and have them here for you
- 31:17Speaker 5: because guess what, you need to know what's going on
- 31:19Speaker 5: in the world of LGBTQ news, even if you're not gay,
- 31:23Speaker 5: because it affects everything, and yes, Trump affects that. So
- 31:26Speaker 5: let's have some gay news.
- 31:27Speaker 9: The interview want me too? You go ahead, Hello, and
- 31:31Speaker 9: welcome to This Gay Week with Corell and Scott Jacobson.
- 31:34Speaker 1: How are you.
- 31:35Speaker 5: Apparently we're doing Apparently apparently we're gay news.
- 31:46Speaker 9: I love that.
- 31:48Speaker 5: So what are we talking about today? So today, let's
- 31:52Speaker 5: get every social media trend in here. Shall we I
- 31:55Speaker 5: love it?
- 31:56Speaker 9: By the way, was there another rendition of this kind
- 31:59Speaker 9: of show of like a like a like an American
- 32:03Speaker 9: Canadian mix up on like gay news that you've known
- 32:06Speaker 9: of before?
- 32:08Speaker 5: No, this is first.
- 32:09Speaker 9: We'll call it first.
- 32:11Speaker 5: I've been the first in many things.
- 32:13Speaker 9: Well, congratulations once more so Seattle World cup board, and
- 32:17Speaker 9: I say Pride events will go ahead outside Egypt or
- 32:20Speaker 9: on match. The work of organ has Seattle on Wednesday.
- 32:23Speaker 5: You know, I know we have to talk about these stories,
- 32:26Speaker 5: but I have to tell you, as an American gay person,
- 32:28Speaker 5: the only thing on my mind this week. The only
- 32:31Speaker 5: thing is and I know you have an American person
- 32:34Speaker 5: that talks about American gay news, but this has worldwide repercussions.
- 32:40Speaker 5: Two things that are on my mind. First is the
- 32:43Speaker 5: ridiculous policy of now searching social media for five years
- 32:47Speaker 5: prior to anyone from another country coming into the United States.
- 32:52Speaker 5: And if the social media profile is set to private,
- 32:55Speaker 5: you have to turn it to public or they won't
- 32:56Speaker 5: let you in. What they are looking for is the
- 33:00Speaker 5: same thing that they issued a memo to the FBI
- 33:05Speaker 5: and other law enforcement agencies. And this is real. It
- 33:08Speaker 5: was the cover of the La Times yesterday they issued
- 33:11Speaker 5: a memo that says they want to quote start seeking
- 33:14Speaker 5: out domestic terrorist unquote, and the way they are defining
- 33:18Speaker 5: those people with quote radical gender ideologies, which means you
- 33:24Speaker 5: believe in support trans people, people that are anti Christian,
- 33:29Speaker 5: people that are anti ice, people that are anti traditional
- 33:35Speaker 5: family values. These are all dog whistle words for gay,
- 33:39Speaker 5: lesbian by trans. And it is frightening to me as
- 33:43Speaker 5: an American podcaster that there is now an incentive they
- 33:49Speaker 5: will give other Americans rewards for dropping a dime on
- 33:53Speaker 5: their neighbor. This is right out of Nazi Germany. And
- 33:57Speaker 5: the people they are defining as domestic terrorists are just
- 34:00Speaker 5: people that don't agree with this administration or their policies.
- 34:04Speaker 5: So that's a big problem. And then the whole five
- 34:07Speaker 5: year social media they're looking for the same thing. Are
- 34:11Speaker 5: your pro trans, are you pro gay? Are you against
- 34:14Speaker 5: ice raids? Are you pro immigrant? Are you pro Palestine?
- 34:19Speaker 5: That's another thing, and so it is very, very scary.
- 34:22Speaker 5: It's a going to affect tourism huge in the United States.
- 34:25Speaker 5: People from your country and other countries are not going
- 34:28Speaker 5: to want to come to the United States. And now
- 34:30Speaker 5: today it was floated that today that we take DNA
- 34:36Speaker 5: from people from countries that don't require a visa, so
- 34:40Speaker 5: that means the Canada, the UK, you know, all of that,
- 34:44Speaker 5: the EU. This is very, very frightening. It is probably
- 34:48Speaker 5: the only story that we Americans and everyone around the
- 34:51Speaker 5: world should be talking about because yet again it is
- 34:55Speaker 5: a slip into authoritarianism. But scarier than that, they are
- 34:59Speaker 5: now openly telling law enforcement agencies like the FBI, the
- 35:04Speaker 5: DOJ to go after people that they deem are terrorists.
- 35:08Speaker 5: And the way they're deeming them that way is if
- 35:10Speaker 5: they're protrans, if they're pro gay, if they're not Christian.
- 35:14Speaker 5: It even says non Christian. It's very very frightening. It's
- 35:18Speaker 5: a very scary memo that's going out, and the federal
- 35:22Speaker 5: government will incentivize agencies in terms of funding. They will
- 35:27Speaker 5: incentivize the agencies and prioritize the ones that are complying
- 35:33Speaker 5: with the memo for federal funding first, so that gives
- 35:37Speaker 5: local law enforcement another reason to comply to this memo.
- 35:41Speaker 5: It is terrifying, Scott. It is scary as can be,
- 35:46Speaker 5: especially for someone like me. I pretty much check all
- 35:50Speaker 5: of their books and it's really scary.
- 35:53Speaker 9: Do you under the interview on me too. You go ahead,
- 35:57Speaker 9: hello and welcome to this gay weight.
- 36:00Speaker 3: Really carill.
- 36:02Speaker 7: Doing we're missing out.
- 36:04Speaker 8: Get the podcast videos and the blug including recipes at
- 36:07Speaker 8: really correll dot com.
- 36:09Speaker 7: That's really K A R E l dot com.
- 36:13Speaker 1: Show Time is here. No time to fear.
- 36:17Speaker 2: Correll is so near because show time is here.
- 36:20Speaker 1: So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
- 36:24Speaker 3: Correll is the one that you need to know.
- 36:29Speaker 5: Yes, I am still terrified by that memo. By the way,
- 36:32Speaker 5: it makes me really feel like I don't know, like
- 36:37Speaker 5: you know, I could be hauled away like in the
- 36:40Speaker 5: movie V for Vendetta. It really does feel that way.
- 36:43Speaker 5: So anyway, more gay news from around the world with
- 36:47Speaker 5: me and Scott on this week, this gay week? Uh
- 36:51Speaker 5: what a gay? Every week? Is gay? With me? Is
- 36:53Speaker 5: it not? Every week? So you know what the hell?
- 36:56Speaker 9: Also, the most the single most persistent types of domestic
- 37:00Speaker 9: terrorism United States, as you know I will know, have
- 37:03Speaker 9: been right wing extremist groups, often Christian as a sort
- 37:10Speaker 9: of ideological war pitch of it, as well as ethnic
- 37:14Speaker 9: nationalist focus on white nationalism.
- 37:17Speaker 5: And this memo, as the La Times story points out,
- 37:21Speaker 5: does nothing about them. It doesn't label them as domestic terrorists,
- 37:26Speaker 5: and yet they are the ones committing most of the
- 37:29Speaker 5: gun violence and other violence. All right, when we come back,
- 37:33Speaker 5: we'll talk about the soccer and all of that, but
- 37:38Speaker 5: that was something I was most afraid about. We're on
- 37:40Speaker 5: this Gay Week with Scott Jacobson and Correll me in
- 37:43Speaker 5: Las Vegas, him in Canada. Here now to your stories.
- 37:46Speaker 5: I'm sorry, it's just that story really chills my blood.
- 37:49Speaker 5: It really is very Nazisque, and I know those comparisons
- 37:54Speaker 5: are made often, but this is an appropriate comparison. So
- 37:58Speaker 5: that story really worldwide repercussions because a gay person with
- 38:04Speaker 5: social media that they've been active, they know they're not
- 38:07Speaker 5: going to want to have customs and you know, looking
- 38:09Speaker 5: through five years of their social media, and so it
- 38:12Speaker 5: has big repercussions. And then you come into the country
- 38:16Speaker 5: and you may be labeled domestic terrorists just because you're
- 38:19Speaker 5: pro trans, pro immigrant, pro LGBTQ, not Christian and you
- 38:24Speaker 5: don't think the traditional family is you know, the Charlie
- 38:27Speaker 5: Kirk model. Although well it's unconfirmed rumor, I'm not going
- 38:32Speaker 5: to say it.
- 38:32Speaker 9: Never mind, Well, we can't speculate that this governmental policy
- 38:36Speaker 9: was designed by Pennywise to establish more fear.
- 38:41Speaker 5: It's working.
- 38:43Speaker 9: Apparently so the World Cup, as was noted this so
- 38:47Speaker 9: the metrical head outside of Egypt Iran match, it's a
- 38:52Speaker 9: World Cup organization in Seattle on Wednesday said their Pride
- 38:55Speaker 9: events would go ahead as planets out of the June match.
- 38:57Speaker 9: A city between Egypt and Rona's objections with sports officials
- 39:02Speaker 9: the two countries were homosexuality is criminalized, as you've noted
- 39:06Speaker 9: generally about sort of a regional issue or anything LGBTQ plus, So.
- 39:14Speaker 5: I think it's brave of them to continue on, you know,
- 39:18Speaker 5: with the match. How do I say this without sounding
- 39:23Speaker 5: like a conservative old guy, because I might be partially old,
- 39:26Speaker 5: but I'm certainly not conservative. Sometimes gay should air on
- 39:32Speaker 5: the side of caution. In other words, it's you have
- 39:37Speaker 5: to push the boundaries for LGBTQ people. You know, there's
- 39:42Speaker 5: a great line in the movie, it's probably the best
- 39:45Speaker 5: line in the movie after the Hunt, which addresses me
- 39:49Speaker 5: too with Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield and yes they
- 39:52Speaker 5: had him, has her love interest and you know it
- 39:54Speaker 5: could be her grandson. But she is confronting a me
- 40:00Speaker 5: too person and she says, not everything in the world
- 40:03Speaker 5: is supposed to make you comfortable. So that's a great line.
- 40:07Speaker 5: And so yeah, and so gay people, if we make
- 40:11Speaker 5: someone uncomfortable, that doesn't mean we should cancel a match,
- 40:14Speaker 5: or we should or we should you know, rearrange our
- 40:17Speaker 5: lives in any way. However, there comes a point where
- 40:20Speaker 5: you say, but is it going to be extraordinarily dangerous
- 40:25Speaker 5: for the people involved. I have never wanted to go
- 40:29Speaker 5: to Egypt or many Middle Eastern countries or African countries,
- 40:34Speaker 5: because it is dangerous to be gay in these nations,
- 40:37Speaker 5: and several of the nations involved, as you said, have
- 40:40Speaker 5: outlawed homosexuality. So while I think pushing the norms and
- 40:46Speaker 5: pushing society towards acceptance is great, I also think there
- 40:52Speaker 5: are some times where we need to say, but what
- 40:55Speaker 5: about the safety of the people involved in this? And
- 40:59Speaker 5: so I just wonder how safe the players and the
- 41:03Speaker 5: audience is going to be, even though it's outside of Egypt.
- 41:08Speaker 5: I just wonder if this is prudent. We'll see, and
- 41:14Speaker 5: I again commend them, but I mean it's important for
- 41:19Speaker 5: the gays that live there. I know that this is
- 41:21Speaker 5: a big deal for them. But I've always said, if
- 41:24Speaker 5: you're gay, why the hell do you live there? Well,
- 41:26Speaker 5: some people have no choice. I know, I get it.
- 41:28Speaker 5: I do. I'm gay and I live in America, and
- 41:30Speaker 5: believe me, i'd leave if I could. So I get it.
- 41:35Speaker 5: I understand it, and I think it's a step forward
- 41:38Speaker 5: for sports and you know, for gay rights. But at
- 41:43Speaker 5: the same time, I just think we need to always
- 41:46Speaker 5: be prudent and tempers and conflict is at an all
- 41:52Speaker 5: time high these days, and so I just don't know
- 41:55Speaker 5: if poking the gay is illegal bear is a good
- 41:59Speaker 5: thing to do right now. But I'm glad someone's doing it.
- 42:02Speaker 5: I just don't know that i'd attend, but you know,
- 42:05Speaker 5: I'm glad someone will.
- 42:07Speaker 9: You've noted, I mean, in several sessions that in your way, see,
- 42:11Speaker 9: you have noted never being entirely safe in your time
- 42:14Speaker 9: in the United States, or accept it at least.
- 42:16Speaker 5: Yes, no, and safe that includes right up until today. Absolutely,
- 42:22Speaker 5: it is dangerous to be gay in America now more
- 42:25Speaker 5: so than ever. And it's never not been dangerous to
- 42:29Speaker 5: be gay in many parts of America, no matter who
- 42:31Speaker 5: was president, whether it was Obama or Clinton. They're still
- 42:35Speaker 5: the South, for instance, where it is not safe to
- 42:38Speaker 5: be gay in America if gay tourists. There are states
- 42:43Speaker 5: I would tell gay people internationally to not go to Yeah,
- 42:46Speaker 5: go to New Orleans, but then don't go anywhere else
- 42:49Speaker 5: in Louisiana. Don't go to Baton Rouge, don't go you know,
- 42:52Speaker 5: don't go other places to go to Georgia. Go to Atlanta,
- 42:56Speaker 5: but that don't go to Valdosta, don't go to you know.
- 43:00Speaker 5: And so there are even in Florida, Yeah, Miami and Orlando,
- 43:05Speaker 5: Fort Lauderdale, sure, but stay out of Pensacola, stay out
- 43:08Speaker 5: of the Panhandle. So there are places in America where
- 43:13Speaker 5: it's not safe to be gay, where pride festivals have
- 43:15Speaker 5: been canceled even this last year because of danger and
- 43:19Speaker 5: credible threats. You know. I was just watching the Taylor
- 43:23Speaker 5: Swift thing and the tears she shed over having to
- 43:26Speaker 5: cancel a show because there was a credible threat from
- 43:28Speaker 5: al Qaeda or from an Islamic terrorist group. So the
- 43:33Speaker 5: world isn't a safe place. But the United States certainly
- 43:37Speaker 5: isn't the safest for LGBTQ people. I think Ireland is
- 43:40Speaker 5: safer for LGBTQ people and parts of the EU, but
- 43:43Speaker 5: then again, there are countries in the EU. Don't go
- 43:46Speaker 5: to if you're gay, and people say, well, that defeats
- 43:50Speaker 5: the purpose. You know, you have to decide for yourself
- 43:54Speaker 5: what you're going to risk. Making a point that gay
- 43:57Speaker 5: people should be allowed to go everywhere is not worth
- 44:00Speaker 5: dying for for me. And that's because I'm old and
- 44:04Speaker 5: I've lived through all of that. There was a time
- 44:05Speaker 5: in my twenties or thirties, sure I'd go shove it
- 44:08Speaker 5: down anybody's throat. I learned that people actually die that way.
- 44:13Speaker 5: And so now more than ever, as there is more
- 44:17Speaker 5: anti gay legislation, both in America and worldwide than there
- 44:21Speaker 5: is pro gay I think every gay person has to
- 44:25Speaker 5: step back a little bit and say, do I really
- 44:28Speaker 5: want to go there? Do I really want to go
- 44:30Speaker 5: to the United States? Do I really want to go
- 44:33Speaker 5: to Croatia? Or do I really want to go to Egypt?
- 44:38Speaker 5: At this point in our history? So I do believe,
- 44:41Speaker 5: And that goes out beyond being gay, you know. I
- 44:45Speaker 5: mean in America there are places black people probably shouldn't go.
- 44:51Speaker 5: There are places that immigrants certainly right now are worried
- 44:56Speaker 5: about going, and not just America, in every country. So yes,
- 45:01Speaker 5: I have never felt safe in America right up until that. Well,
- 45:05Speaker 5: I just told you there was a guy at the
- 45:06Speaker 5: park with a sword and then someone got a gun.
- 45:09Speaker 5: That wasn't really a gay thing. But at the same time,
- 45:12Speaker 5: you know, I mean, if he had a sword in
- 45:14Speaker 5: his car and he didn't like, where's you know.
- 45:18Speaker 9: Were they filming the next Indiana Jones?
- 45:20Speaker 5: They were not, And that did come to mind. I thought,
- 45:24Speaker 5: So the guy was out there swinging a sword, and
- 45:26Speaker 5: then my friend at the park said yeah, and I
- 45:28Speaker 5: go have you ever seen Indiana Jones? He said, yeah,
- 45:30Speaker 5: I got my gun. I'm like, oh, okay, that takes
- 45:34Speaker 5: care of it. But that's a shame. I mean that
- 45:38Speaker 5: both in this country that we have the access to
- 45:40Speaker 5: these weapons. But second of all, that tempers are just
- 45:43Speaker 5: so high that you would go to your car and
- 45:45Speaker 5: get a sword because somebody's dog came by you.
- 45:49Speaker 9: You know, when someone told me in La when Americans
- 45:53Speaker 9: son get a flippant sense of road rage, they'll shoot
- 46:00Speaker 9: the person that caused them the rage, orunless they're attributing
- 46:04Speaker 9: it to.
- 46:04Speaker 5: We just had a case here in Las Vegas, a
- 46:06Speaker 5: terrible tragedy. It's two lives ruined. Over in Henderson, some
- 46:13Speaker 5: car passed some guy on the freeway. He didn't like
- 46:16Speaker 5: the speed of the car. I don't know what he
- 46:18Speaker 5: didn't like, but he drove up next to the car
- 46:20Speaker 5: and shot into the vehicle. He killed a fourteen year
- 46:23Speaker 5: old that was in the backseat, and when they were
- 46:27Speaker 5: arresting him, he didn't know he had killed anybody. And
- 46:30Speaker 5: all of a sudden, they're like, dude, you killed the
- 46:32Speaker 5: fourteen year old. Why didn't mean Joy didn't And he's
- 46:34Speaker 5: only twenty two. His life is over, He's gone to
- 46:37Speaker 5: jail forever or for a majority of his life. And
- 46:41Speaker 5: that fourteen year old is dead. Why because you didn't
- 46:43Speaker 5: like the way someone passed you on the freeway? Gaze
- 46:46Speaker 5: faced this every day, you know. Right now, I was
- 46:49Speaker 5: about to answer from quoted our response for a journalist
- 46:55Speaker 5: to go on GB News, Great Britain's equivalent of Fox News,
- 46:59Speaker 5: that is quote pro trans because of Gavin Newsom posting
- 47:04Speaker 5: that Elon Musk's transgender daughter hates him, and they want
- 47:09Speaker 5: to discuss this on GB News, So they want someone
- 47:11Speaker 5: that is pro trans, And I thought, who isn't pro trans? Why?
- 47:16Speaker 5: Why would anybody be anti trans? Because I'm from the
- 47:21Speaker 5: school of it's none of your fucking business. You know,
- 47:24Speaker 5: so there should be like no pro or against trans.
- 47:28Speaker 5: There should be I don't have an opinion on trans
- 47:31Speaker 5: because I'm not trans, you know, and they have a
- 47:35Speaker 5: right to live and exist like everybody else has a
- 47:37Speaker 5: right to live and exist. So this notion that they're
- 47:40Speaker 5: looking for someone pro trans, I'm like, that implies that
- 47:45Speaker 5: there's people against trans people. Why why would you be
- 47:48Speaker 5: against someone who simply has a non medical condition, which
- 47:53Speaker 5: I know people don't believe that it is, but it
- 47:55Speaker 5: is a known medical condition where their body does not
- 47:59Speaker 5: mean at who they are. The biology made a mistake.
- 48:05Speaker 5: It's like being born with seven fingers and taking two
- 48:08Speaker 5: of the fingers off because biology made a mistake. It's like,
- 48:12Speaker 5: who would be against that? You know, Let's be real.
- 48:15Speaker 5: The same people that are anti trans are pro viagra.
- 48:18Speaker 5: But if God and your body said you are to
- 48:20Speaker 5: be limbed, who are we to intervene? You know, so.
- 48:26Speaker 1: We're talking.
- 48:27Speaker 9: It was a four, you know, bald creams and pills,
- 48:32Speaker 9: boner pills, I mean, a breast surgery. You know, you
- 48:38Speaker 9: just name any of these, and these are these are
- 48:41Speaker 9: considered more routine and therefore socially acceptable.
- 48:45Speaker 5: Look at some of the people Trump hangs around with
- 48:47Speaker 5: at mar Lago. These women have mutilated their bodies. They
- 48:51Speaker 5: have mutilated they don't even look human anymore. They they
- 48:54Speaker 5: have mutilated their bodies. But it's their choice if they
- 48:58Speaker 5: want to look that way, look that way. But they're
- 49:01Speaker 5: going to be against trans people having transitional surgery and
- 49:05Speaker 5: yet they've transitioned from a human into a Kardashian. Uh
- 49:09Speaker 5: you know, and never the two shall meet.
- 49:12Speaker 9: From Matt Gates, Oh yeah, Oh, Matt's had a lot
- 49:16Speaker 9: of work done that.
- 49:18Speaker 5: Yeah, I forgot about him. What about the gay one,
- 49:21Speaker 5: the one that's in the closet, Oh, Madison Cawthorne. I
- 49:24Speaker 5: haven't heard much from him. I always get the gay
- 49:26Speaker 5: vibe from him, always, like my gaitar bleeped so loud
- 49:29Speaker 5: when he's in the room, it's deafening. He's in the
- 49:33Speaker 5: wheelchair made oh no, I no, I get And there's
- 49:43Speaker 5: pictures of him in drag and it's like okay. Because
- 49:46Speaker 5: Republicans love to hate on trans people, and they love
- 49:49Speaker 5: to do it while wearing a dress. It's like the Pope.
- 49:53Speaker 5: The Pope loves to judge trans people, but he does
- 49:55Speaker 5: it while wearing a Prada dress.
- 49:58Speaker 9: Joke about the East orthodox in the room, Alex. Right,
- 50:02Speaker 9: all right, let's back back.
- 50:04Speaker 5: To the back to back to the world.
- 50:08Speaker 9: Could we could do a whole separate series on just
- 50:10Speaker 9: just jokes and commentary. Okay, So Arlington upold suspensional protections
- 50:16Speaker 9: for LGBTQ people. City Council voted five for. So it
- 50:19Speaker 9: was a very narrow margin as an uraging get to
- 50:23Speaker 9: continue the temporary removal of language and its ordinance, which
- 50:28Speaker 9: was initially September in an effort to avoid losing federal funding.
- 50:32Speaker 9: So subtext appears to be a fear of the federal
- 50:37Speaker 9: government again out of Texas and as as as as
- 50:41Speaker 9: you and I have known, and many reports have noted
- 50:43Speaker 9: that the capital of the number of bills against LGBTQ
- 50:50Speaker 9: friendly policies has been Texas. Not not even a competition
- 50:55Speaker 9: probably they probably take twenty or thirty percent of them.
- 51:00Speaker 5: So which I lived in Texas, and trust me, those
- 51:03Speaker 5: cowboys are not as straight as they'd like to think.
- 51:06Speaker 5: Uh you know, it's it's lonely out there on the track.
- 51:10Speaker 9: In English.
- 51:11Speaker 5: Yeah, no, loads, Yeah, it's a little lonely out there
- 51:13Speaker 5: on the table. Come here instead. But anyway, also, all right,
- 51:19Speaker 5: November and I are having a moment here. We'll be
- 51:22Speaker 5: back to Sidney Chester's gay if I don't din't have
- 51:25Speaker 5: a moment with November on the New Year's Day.
- 51:33Speaker 4: Subsmat, stay.
- 51:44Speaker 3: No, it's show side.
- 51:59Speaker 5: We're having a stare off, aren't we? Are you having
- 52:01Speaker 5: a stare off? Look at you? Tell them it's time
- 52:05Speaker 5: to go back to this pigature ear pop up, tell
- 52:08Speaker 5: them it's time to go back to this gay week
- 52:09Speaker 5: while we have a kiss. First of all, the language,
- 52:13Speaker 5: the language of that job, well, I could see it.
- 52:16Speaker 5: The language of that offends me. So I'm one of
- 52:20Speaker 5: these people that was actually against hate crime legislation. I'm
- 52:24Speaker 5: for it now, but for the longest time I was
- 52:27Speaker 5: against it because I said, I don't need special protections.
- 52:30Speaker 5: I don't care while you're beating me in the head
- 52:32Speaker 5: that you're calling me a fagot. Just stop beating me
- 52:34Speaker 5: in the head. And if you get caught for it,
- 52:37Speaker 5: get punished for beating me in the head, not because
- 52:40Speaker 5: you're beating me in the head because I'm a fagot.
- 52:43Speaker 5: As far as I'm concerned, a crime is a crime,
- 52:45Speaker 5: and there's no such thing as a love crime, you know,
- 52:48Speaker 5: And so this notion of hate crimes was weird to me.
- 52:52Speaker 5: But when we come back, I'll tell you what in
- 52:54Speaker 5: the thing you just read offended me. Most set timers
- 53:00Speaker 5: seven minutes, fifteen seconds. All right, Scott. So in what
- 53:08Speaker 5: you just read to me about, they said special protections
- 53:14Speaker 5: that bothers you, that bothers me. I don't need. No
- 53:19Speaker 5: gay person needs special protections. We need the same equality
- 53:25Speaker 5: under the law that non gay people have. The problem
- 53:29Speaker 5: is that the laws have been written purposely to target
- 53:33Speaker 5: gay people, and that's why we need special protections because
- 53:38Speaker 5: they're special laws targeting us. If there weren't special laws
- 53:42Speaker 5: targeting us, we wouldn't need special protections. So how about
- 53:46Speaker 5: we just have one law for everybody instead of you know,
- 53:50Speaker 5: how about we make it illegal to fire anybody from
- 53:53Speaker 5: their job because of race, gender, you know, religious affiliation,
- 53:57Speaker 5: all of that. How about we just make freedom and
- 54:00Speaker 5: liberty universal. That seems like such a hard thing to do.
- 54:05Speaker 5: In every country around the world, they act like they've
- 54:08Speaker 5: got to make special conciliations to gaze. They don't. Just
- 54:12Speaker 5: stop making special things against us, and then we won't
- 54:16Speaker 5: need special protections from you because we're already covered. I'm
- 54:20Speaker 5: an American I'm covered by the constitution. There's not a
- 54:23Speaker 5: gay constitution, although there should be. I could come up
- 54:25Speaker 5: with a few amendments. But so yes, I'm glad that
- 54:31Speaker 5: they voted to keep the protections in. It's sad that
- 54:37Speaker 5: they have to, and that they call them special protections.
- 54:40Speaker 5: That's sad, But it's good that five of the nine
- 54:43Speaker 5: people at least saw things like, now, let's not pick
- 54:47Speaker 5: on this group of people again. And you know again,
- 54:51Speaker 5: I don't need special protection. I don't need anything special.
- 54:55Speaker 5: No gay person alive in any country anywhere needs any
- 55:00Speaker 5: things special. They just want what everybody else has. It
- 55:05Speaker 5: is just so bizarre to me. It's such a strange thing.
- 55:09Speaker 9: It just goes back to the standard human rights discourse
- 55:11Speaker 9: of you have a people look at human rights law
- 55:16Speaker 9: and human rights stipulations. They think they just there's no
- 55:20Speaker 9: grab back. There's a final another principle underneath all of them,
- 55:22Speaker 9: which is the principal of universalism, you know. And so
- 55:25Speaker 9: it's right to your point of both the same law
- 55:27Speaker 9: for all or one law for all.
- 55:28Speaker 5: They're all all for one, one for all. I'm a musketeer.
- 55:30Speaker 5: Let you go.
- 55:32Speaker 9: We need one word.
- 55:33Speaker 5: They were fucking oh, sorry, what were their names again? Oh,
- 55:38Speaker 5: let's see, well dark I remember d'Artagnan because he was
- 55:41Speaker 5: the gayest.
- 55:42Speaker 3: Uh.
- 55:43Speaker 5: I don't remember the other three, just d'Artagnan. Oh, Pathos
- 55:47Speaker 5: or Ethos or something, Pathos Pathos d'Artagnan. And then because
- 55:53Speaker 5: there were four musketeers, there weren't three. There were four,
- 55:58Speaker 5: but I forget the other two.
- 56:04Speaker 9: Also in the news, national security expert has been firmed
- 56:08Speaker 9: a as you were doing in a previous session, a
- 56:10Speaker 9: lavender scare. They've claimed that this is mirroring Cold War era,
- 56:15Speaker 9: a not just rhetorical policy.
- 56:18Speaker 5: Well, this goes to the story at the beginning. If
- 56:22Speaker 5: they're going to get away with an FBI memo that
- 56:24Speaker 5: can label people that are pro trans, pro gay, anti
- 56:28Speaker 5: anti ice against Christians, if they can label them domestic terrorists,
- 56:33Speaker 5: they can certainly fire them from government. So yes, in
- 56:37Speaker 5: the US government, all agencies right now, there's a huge
- 56:41Speaker 5: lavender scare. And this does not just apply to the
- 56:44Speaker 5: United States. I am talking to people all across the
- 56:47Speaker 5: globe and out proud individuals who are a part of
- 56:52Speaker 5: government are pulling back on their rainbow flag waving because
- 56:56Speaker 5: Trump's policies are spreading through other government and so they
- 57:01Speaker 5: realize that if they like their job in government, now
- 57:05Speaker 5: is not the time to be waving that rainbow flag.
- 57:08Speaker 5: So many people in governmental agencies across the globe are
- 57:13Speaker 5: pulling back on being so expressive and open with their
- 57:18Speaker 5: LGBTQ identity. It's not just happening here. There's a worldwide
- 57:23Speaker 5: lavender scare, and it's happening because of Trump. Trump isn't
- 57:27Speaker 5: We've got putin put in gays and concentration camps, We've
- 57:31Speaker 5: got African nations making laws against them. If you're in government,
- 57:35Speaker 5: it is just not a good time to be open,
- 57:38Speaker 5: and that's really sad. Others will say, no, now is
- 57:40Speaker 5: the time more than ever, sure if you don't want
- 57:42Speaker 5: your job.
- 57:45Speaker 9: Have you seen advocates and allies who are fair weather
- 57:50Speaker 9: and who are not in this season as well?
- 57:52Speaker 5: Yes. Absolutely. There was just a call of the four
- 57:56Speaker 5: biggest gay leaders in the United States, and what they
- 58:00Speaker 5: had to say was really sobering because they were on
- 58:05Speaker 5: page with me about how bad it really truly is.
- 58:08Speaker 5: They weren't pulling punches and they were like, it's worse
- 58:11Speaker 5: than most of you all think. And one of the
- 58:14Speaker 5: things they said is that gay and lesbian rights across
- 58:18Speaker 5: the globe are no longer quote gay and lesbian rights.
- 58:22Speaker 5: In other words, gay rights now extend to housing. You know,
- 58:28Speaker 5: am I being kicked out because I'm gayer? Trans? They
- 58:31Speaker 5: now healthcare? Can I access healthcare if I'm gay? Buyer trans?
- 58:36Speaker 5: So all of the different aspects of life, healthcare, where
- 58:40Speaker 5: you're going to live, where you're going to work, all
- 58:44Speaker 5: of these areas are now being affected by anti gay policies.
- 58:48Speaker 5: So gay rights are now basically expanding to every kind
- 58:52Speaker 5: of right there is. Workplace rights, the ability to live
- 58:57Speaker 5: you know, in various places, the ability to travel and
- 59:00Speaker 5: go in and out of countries freely, all of these
- 59:03Speaker 5: things are now gay rights because Trump and his like
- 59:06Speaker 5: across the globe have attacked gays in every single sector,
- 59:11Speaker 5: in government, in travel, in social and just society in
- 59:15Speaker 5: you know, and the churches have been attacked. So we're
- 59:17Speaker 5: being attacked on so many friends that now you can't
- 59:20Speaker 5: just say being a gay activist is about gay marriage. No,
- 59:24Speaker 5: it's not about gay marriage. It's about gay work, gay marriage,
- 59:29Speaker 5: gay purchasing of boot, gay travel. So it is now
- 59:33Speaker 5: encompassing almost everything that human does.
- 59:39Speaker 9: Bro appreciate it.
- 59:41Speaker 5: Thank you Scott on your beautiful tree, and thank you
- 59:45Speaker 5: all from.
- 59:46Speaker 7: A completely different point of view yours.
