I mean, people were so upset at a lot of stuff. We did and just like honestly you commented like mostly on both of our appearances over like the music.
Starting point is 00:03:16 People are so sick in the head. I know. So that kind of, but like Sam was like giving me advice and just being so lovely and that was like one of the best experiences and Sam and I will be friends forever and share that experience forever and it was so nice of Sam to let me do that because Sam was kind of like you have to do if we win you have to do the speech because I've done it

Yeah, because you've been in the industry for so long. It's like getting to watch your fave, like get to the highest honor in music. It's just insane. Yeah, it's great.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Like they've been with you from the beginning all the way from now. For sure, like 10 people, you know, literally. So it's like, it's crazy to go from, like, performing, like, every gay club in the U.S. to, then, you know, to that? It's a crazy. experience but like I never thought it happened and it did happen and like it can happen to you babes you know drop a song maybe it'll win a Grammy I mean listen could I don't think anyone wants to hear

I have, like, zero experiences. Oh, a couple. A couple with very girl men. But, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:03 I think it's because we're too late. Really? I just don't like it. Scorpio, anyone who's a Scorpio or specifically? I mean, just guys. But maybe that's just like personal, like, experience. And maybe I'm just being mean and judging everyone because of one person. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:05:16 You can judge men here. Okay. You're safe here. Thank God. Hate Scorpio, man. I talk about all the men I hate it all the time. They hate it, but it's okay. We have a love-hate relationship, me and men.
Starting point is 00:05:28 It's good. It's good to express that. I think so. It's great. When I found out you followed me on TikTok, I shit my pantaloons, to be honest, because I'm a big fan of you. But then I was thinking like... I love your videos.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. I love your videos. Turns out men are awful and they need to be told. Yeah, they need to be told. Yeah. All the time.
Starting point is 00:05:50 And I will happily tell them. You will do it. That's the thing about you. You will tell them. I did it before I made any money doing it. So there you go. Full circle. Talk about full circle.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Authentic queen. See, you went to the Grammys. I started shitting on dudes. Authentic Queen. That's my Grammys. Yeah, literally. Getting paid to shit on dudes. I would love an award for that.
Starting point is 00:06:08 What would it be called? Oh, man. I don't know. The Virgo men award? Yeah. I like it. Has a ring to it. I totally get not liking Scorpio men.
Starting point is 00:06:19 I only know of a couple Scorpio men. I think they're cool. But Scorpio women I love. I love Scorpio women. I'm just scarp you're rising, so I'm kind of confused and I don't want to like, because like rising is like you kind of turn into it, right? Yeah, it's like what people see, perceive you to me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Yeah. So. Are you confrontational? No. No, not at all. No. Are you kind of like, are you like a passive person a little bit, like passive aggressive? Um, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:46 I'm more like. Like you'll complain about it privately. Totally. Why are you afraid of hurting people's feelings? Is that why? Yeah, for sure. I'm a people please. unfortunately I had to really like work on that because people will take that and so yeah I feel
Starting point is 00:07:04 like as your moon I don't know actually oh damn that's like all I bet you it's an emotional one oh okay because I'm a cancer moon so like I'm very emotional what is moon like that's like your emotions how you how you how you the moon controls how you feel so it's important and what is it like hour of like birth or something yeah it's like where you were your location and then the time you were born So you look it up and they'll tell you That's your big three. Your sun, moon rising. Get back to me on what that is.
Starting point is 00:07:31 I need to check that out. Because, yeah, I feel like the more I didn't people please the more successful I got in life. Oh, yeah. So I feel like that's a big part of like doing what you want to do is not to people please. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, especially as a woman in the industry kind of,
Starting point is 00:07:48 you have to be a bitch at some point. For sure. And I've definitely been a bitch. Like it's not like I've never confirmed. fronted anyone. Yeah. It was, I was right for it too, so, you know, but it's, I feel like I don't love confrontation.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Yeah. You know, I drag it and drag it and drag it. Yeah. That's me. I love it. Okay. I'm like, you know, let's talk about it. I would love to.
Starting point is 00:08:10 That's me. Such a good skill. You just, like, get it out of your system. Yeah. Because someone was telling me, like, the other day, they were like, depression is, like, bottled up aggression. Oh, yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:08:21 That's tea. Yeah. Yeah. So I was like, oh, that kind of makes sense. For you. Yeah. For me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Yeah. I feel that. That's, well, also I feel like if you never, if you feel like you never get to truly say what you feel, it will eventually, like, it'll implode at some point. Yeah. Yeah. That'll do it. My boyfriend's not confrontational literally at all. So I'm like confrontational for us.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Okay. So I'm like one of those that's like, he said no onions. I'm so sorry, but he asked for no onions. Like he won't, he'll eat it if it's like, if we go to a restaurant, his order's wrong. Yeah. He's like, it's cool, it's well, I'll eat it. Yeah, I'm like, no. No, I think you should get what you asked for.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Are you that way? Yeah, I'm very much like your boyfriend there. I feel like I'll just like suck it up, like whatever. You know, I'm just like, I don't want to like be inconvenient. Inconvenience. Yeah, for sure. And like also like, I'm like, it's my mistake because I didn't say it. So now I have to deal with it.
Starting point is 00:09:20 You know? You start eating it. You're like my bed. I have to eat it now. Literally. But yeah. But everyone who's like that needs a person who's like, no, like you. You know, so.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Yeah, I've had, I've had like, you know, I've seen like terrible videos like by men on TikTok. Obviously, that's what I always say. Unfortunately, they get dropped on my doorstep like a dead bird, unfortunately for me. But I see them a lot of times making fun of like. Birds. Bird bitches. They are birds, for real.
Starting point is 00:09:48 I think too. It's like, they're like the kinds of men who like, they'll say things like, oh, I hate when I'm trying to talk to a girl and their friend is like, she doesn't want to talk to you. I've seen many of those and they're like, I'm not talking to you, fatty, whatever they say. But I always think like if her friend's saying that, she doesn't want to talk to you.
Starting point is 00:10:06 It's not because she's just like, don't talk to my friend. You know what I mean? Like, we like have a code. Like we talk to each other with just eyes. You know what I mean? So I feel like men are stupid, I guess is what I'm trying to say. I know.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Like, why don't you get it? Like, why doesn't... They can't read social cues like at all. I know. It's so real. And it's like, it sucks that you even like, when you even have to like tell your friend to like tell the dude that. Like that shouldn't even be happening.
Starting point is 00:10:33 You know, like just get it. I was in a... I was at a lounge in New York. I was like with the brand and there was this guy that like, I went with a bunch of girls, like a bunch of hot girls, right? Hot girls in the club. As you do. Blood in the water for sharks, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:10:49 So like we're all hanging out, having fun. And this guy's like, hey like which one of you's the leader like he's trying to talk to me because I think I'm on the outskirts like I'm the only one he can reach and I was like what and he told me he's like I was like we don't want to talk to you we don't want to talk to you I just turn my back and he's like I'm just trying to talk to I was like ah we don't want to talk to you yeah period he goes around starts talking to one of the girls and she's even more rude to him hilarious uh-huh comes back tail between the legs right and he's like I don't know what you got a problem is I'm just trying to
Starting point is 00:11:22 talk to you. And then I go, hey, what did I say? I told you they didn't want to talk, right? And he, like, didn't believe me because I didn't ask them. But I'm like, you're in your 50s and you're wearing a puffer vest. They don't want to talk to you. I don't need to ask her if she's interested. You know what I mean? Just know. Learn. Learn from this. They have to get humiliated. No puffer vest. In the club? Puffer vest It was like a Checkerge button down
Starting point is 00:11:56 jeans, loafers, puffer vest over It's freezing outside But that's not a jacket So it's almost like What's the point? That was a fashion statement The wrong one
Starting point is 00:12:06 Yeah So I saw the vest I saw the vest in the haircut And I said She doesn't want to talk to I can promise you that Listen I don't know her very well
Starting point is 00:12:14 But she doesn't want to talk to I can promise you that It's like isn't it embarrassing To like go around Like literally I would be so embarrassed. Thinking that they want to talk to you. The way I would be so embarrassed to talk to
Starting point is 00:12:27 hot women. I would be. Yeah, no, me too. If I walked in looking like that. But see, that's, maybe that's, maybe, maybe he's on to something. Maybe he has an unbridled confidence I haven't discovered. Yeah. I just think, like, self-confidence is cool, but self-awareness is much more important. Yeah, it's way more important.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Yeah. Yeah, some people just have, like, confidence, like, for all, like, for no reason. And they're almost always a man All the time Straight up I just think I just think I just think certain men
Starting point is 00:12:59 Shouldn't talk very loud Let alone be rude to me You know what I mean Yeah for sure Look at you You know? Yeah That's my whole TikTok career
Starting point is 00:13:09 They're like How do you deal with hate Because I get Do you get a lot of hate On social media? Yeah Yeah It's pretty bad huh
Starting point is 00:13:16 Yeah It's okay It's honestly kind of like entertaining. And... Literally me. Literally. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:23 It is. And it used to like suck. Like for sure. I used to just like take stuff so seriously. But just like... The more I do it, the less I like really care about that stuff. And the more it's kind of like, okay, you just like care and you want to let it out somehow. And you can't love me.
Starting point is 00:13:40 So you'd rather talk shit. And like, that's okay. But yeah, there's so much like positivity out there too. Yeah. It's really like 95. five, five, like a positive versus negative. For sure. But, like, yeah, sometimes it gets to you.
Starting point is 00:13:55 But it's like, if I was, like, sitting there, like, commenting, like, specifically thinking about, like, how do I, like, get to this person, I will come up with the most fucked up shit, too, you know? They just, like, they care. Jobless, you know. Unemployed, ugly. On a futon. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Don't have, you know, they don't have anything going for them. Yeah. You're like, I'd have a lot of time on my hands too. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. If I really put my mind to it, I could probably do that too if I had no job. Yeah. Or love or family.
Starting point is 00:14:23 But you would never, you know. Yeah. I can't. I simply can't relate, I guess is what I'm trying to say. Yeah, no, same. I think with hate to, well, like, when my friend Bremen was on the show, he said they're like ghosts, haters. So, like, if you don't see them unless you go looking for them, which I think is true to an extent. Unfortunately for me, I see them all the time because that's part of my job.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Yeah. But I feel like, people ask me all the time, like, how do you deal with all the hate? because it's like it gets really vile, especially on places like TikTok, you can get very bad. And I literally just tell them like, I just look at them. Yeah. If I find a pick of what you look like,
Starting point is 00:14:56 I feel better already. Damn. I'd be mean to me too. You know what? If I saw me succeeding and being, like you, succeeding, being hot, being successful, just being loved universally by so many people, I'd hate me too.
Starting point is 00:15:10 I'd look like that. You're so cool. You are. That's how I would feel. I saw you and I was unemployed and a big brokey and single. Yeah. I'd hate you too. That's unfortunate for them.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Why can it turn into being inspired and showering? You know? Yeah, use that. Yeah. Channel it. Literally. Channel the energy. Get a lufa.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Yeah. Log on to Indy.com and just go nuts. Go on there. Look for a job. Get nice and successful. Look for a girl. The War are a Puffer Fest of the club. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:45 It'd be fine. I think. You'll do better. I'm sorry, if you just like, sometimes if you're feeling like you see hate comments, you're like, damn, that kind of sucks. If you just go look for what they look like, you'll feel better. I do it all the time. I have so many, my photo album, I'm not kidding, my photo album has so many fuggos in it because I just screenshot them from my own.
Starting point is 00:16:06 You save them? Do you have a folder? Yeah, girl. Oh my God. And that's like certified fuggos. Like they're literally just dudes that write how disgusting and fat I am and I'm like, look at you. Yeah. I would think that too. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:16:17 I would think that about me too. I love that you have that folder. Yeah. And I just go through it. I scroll through it. Like, I hope one day my iPhone makes, you know, it generates those, like, albums. It's like those little slideshows.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Yeah, so I'm like, the memory thing. Yeah. They put, like, a song on it. Yeah. It's just all these ugly ass dudes just, like, in slow-mo, like, dissolving into each other. Wow, beautiful. Nothing makes you feel better.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Talk about a confidence boost. Okay, I got to do that. I just take a walk down there, and I'm like, damn, I do look good. Yeah, you look amazing. You're going to cunt and nothing else. That's all we serve here is cunt. Oh.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Strictly. Period. Strictly. Strictly cunt. This podcast is strictly cunt. Okay, so today for our topic, we're going to talk about trailblazing as women in the industry. Because you're a trailblazer
Starting point is 00:17:10 and I'm a different kind of trailblazer. Yours is far more. amazing than mine. Stop. We blazed trails. Period. And we serve cunt. And we serve cunt. And that's simply it. Strictly. Strictly trail cunting.
Starting point is 00:17:27 So what we do here on the comment section show is we bring videos that are applicable to our topic and we laugh about them. Kiki, have all the fun. I love it. Blaze trails. That's what we're going to be doing today. So for this first video, what we have is okay, it says the NFL posted
Starting point is 00:17:43 this TikTok celebrating sports agent Nicole Lynn as a trailblazer in the industry for being the first black woman to wrap a first round pick and the third woman to wrap a first round pick. Men in the comments were not happy. She was getting this shut up, obviously. Football. What do you know about football?
Starting point is 00:17:59 Oh my God. It's like it's giving similar to soccer, which is like a big sport in Germany. Yeah. But I feel like fans are even like more intense. Oh yeah, girl. But yeah. They get a grown man's name on a jersey a different grown man's name, put it on their back. Walk around.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Like, it means something, I don't know. I compared them once to fan girls. I'm like, it's the same shit. Like, they come out and you scream, same shit. Yeah. You buy the merch. Same thing. It's like, you're literally a fan girl.
Starting point is 00:18:29 I've never seen so many men angry at me. They were like, I'm not a fricking fan girl. Hey, man. You don't got to convince me. Yeah. You're the one with another grown man on a poster on your wall. Straight up. Listen.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Okay. I think it's the obsession it borders like they can't tell if they want to be them or be with them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like the obsession gets really, really bad, especially with American football. Yeah. It's like an illness. I know guys who are really into football and they're really intense about it. So I know that about it.
Starting point is 00:19:08 But I'm glad that's pretty much where it ends. Yeah, but I'm so glad that a woman is doing that. Yeah, I think so. Period. But the comments on this video were less than pleasant. This first one says, I haven't seen anything about the first white woman or man. Why is that?
Starting point is 00:19:24 Is it racist? If you have to ask, it is. I think if you have to ask, the answer is yes. But I also think this is because it's like the first ever, and there's been hundreds before that were white. Yeah. I mean, I think it's pick a battle, I guess. Yeah, that's a strange question to ask.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Yeah, oh my God. It's so bad. It's such a strange question asked. They're like, why haven't they done? I mean, you mean the hundreds of years before, I guess. I'm sure you could find someone talked about it at least once. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:20:02 I don't know much about that, but this one says, is this why the team sucks? I'm assuming because it's a woman who represents a male athlete. Believe it or not, she's. not out there playing. Yeah. So, straight up. Men hate to hear about women liking literally anything at all. Because sometimes women are like, because I used to work in football.
Starting point is 00:20:24 I used to work in sports. Oh, maybe. Sometimes people are like, oh, like, you know, when they ask about, oh, did you love football? Like, I'm like, yeah, I mean, yeah, to an extent. I mean, I didn't make it my whole personality, but I did, yeah, I really like and enjoy football. Yeah. And I think that women think, you know, when you're working out your internalized misogyny, a lot of times you're like, did I even really like football?
Starting point is 00:20:44 Like, that's how I felt. I'm like, did I like it or did I like that? I was like one of the few women who liked it. Yeah. Which is something I had to unpack in therapy. But I think that it's important to unpack stuff like that because I think your interests, a lot of times are influenced by the patriarchy, even if you don't think they are. For sure.
Starting point is 00:21:02 But sometimes you're so far removed from the male gaze. Like now I think as an adult, I'm so far removed from the male gaze. And I'm like, oh, I like football because I like football. I don't love it, but I like it. I think that's awesome. I think, I think too, if women, men are going to make fun of women, no matter what they like. So you might as well like anything. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:22 Whatever you want to like like it. Totally. They're going to be pissed off no matter what. They're going to be pissed off if you like football. If you like Kim Petch's, they're going to be pissed off no matter what. Yeah, literally. Get mad. They hate when you like Kim Petrie.
Starting point is 00:21:33 They hate it. They're so annoyed. They hate it. So much so that they'll use your sound on. Did you see how many? When you drop down holy, like, teaser on TikTok it went super viral yeah and I saw so many so many like aggressively homophobic transphobic men using the audio further and further their like homophobic agenda and a lot of people
Starting point is 00:22:00 were like you have no idea that two trans icons made them song that you used no idiot it's like but that's why we do it though like how funny is that if you like use that sound and you're so funny. Yeah. To be transphobic and they don't even realize, but they like your song. Yeah. Like, I love it. That's just, that's why I do what I do.
Starting point is 00:22:22 You are the reason. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah, that's what got to the Grammy, babe. Totally. I'm telling you. That's, oh, I love to see it, honestly. You're so right.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Men suck. All of them. This last comment says, if you want racism and sexism to stop, Stop treating people in a minority like children and start treating them like normal people. I don't know what that means. I don't know what that means. You know, and they just say things and you're like, okay. What am I supposed to do with that?
Starting point is 00:22:55 Who's treating anyone like children in this statement? I don't know. I think far too many men are being treated like children, and that's why they act that way. That's why you guys freak out when you see a video about a woman working in football. It's so gross. I know. Men are so disgusting. Why do you care?
Starting point is 00:23:14 I don't know. I just think like I'm too busy. I'm too stressed out to worry about shit like that. You know what I mean? Yeah, why can't you just be like, that's awesome next? You know? Or if you don't like it, you just scroll up. I know.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Very possible. Yeah. Do you ever think that about your stuff too? You're like, if you don't like it, you don't have to watch it. For sure. But like I'm kind of, you know, it's fun for my fans to sometimes get to drag someone. Yeah. Yeah, I see that.
Starting point is 00:23:41 It's a fun activity for my friends to do. I feel that. You're telling me. So it's like, I feel like, yeah, I mean, it would be boring if people didn't, you know, occasionally say something messed up. But yes, I don't understand why people judge people's choices in life as long as they, like, don't hurt anyone. I don't get why people care so much about every single decision that other people make
Starting point is 00:24:09 to, like, live a happy life. You got to be unemployed because I just, you simply don't have the time otherwise. You don't. You don't. You really don't. Sometimes I think like you have a family you probably should be caring for. Yeah. When they're old, like one time I had an old dude, like when I say old like 50, 60s, like he was making a bunch of videos about me.
Starting point is 00:24:30 And he was missing a tooth, which I felt like priorities. Yeah. Maybe focus on. Totally. You got them out of whack, babe. Like you're recording yourself way too much for someone with a missing tooth. but maybe that's just me but he was also like he's just so old
Starting point is 00:24:44 that I was like don't you have like affairs to get an order like I don't know like work on that will and testament like you I'm guessing you got a few days left on this earth I don't know I wouldn't spend it talking about me maybe that's just me I know I'm special but I'm not that special yeah not special enough to be spending your final
Starting point is 00:25:02 hours in the physical realm talking about me I feel like especially like older men I'm so pissed all the time Oh my God, I know I'm like it's okay let go You know what I mean Totally
Starting point is 00:25:17 I mean at this point You got so you got so many other problems in the world Like this is not one of them Yeah I'm not one of them I can promise you that Do you ever get accused of like feeling I get accused all the time Of like fueling a gender war
Starting point is 00:25:31 Like fueling an agenda Like Yeah A feminist agenda For sure I always think you guys Give me way too much credit it, I feel like.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Yeah. I mean, yes, all the time. I mean, it's like, for, like, being trans, it's like, you're feeding the pharmaceutical industry and endorsing your, you know, like, it's like, you know. Big Pharma? Yeah. That's on you? Literally.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Oh, my God. Can you imagine? Can you imagine if Big Pharma was fueled by Kim Hedredgers alone? I mean, it is, but no, I'm kidding. You're on. Yeah, no. It's just like, I feel. like the stuff you get every yeah it's just big in it if you yeah it's just you've heard it all at
Starting point is 00:26:18 this point i think i've really heard it all and like especially like in the like early days because like i transitioned like a while ago and like it's definitely gotten like you know it's the same shit that's always happened and the same shit people have always said they're not very unique are they're not unique and it's always the same shit but it's like who is like Like, why would we be, like, a part of, like, a bigger, like, a gent? Like, what do you think this is? That's why I said. Like, people think life is, like.
Starting point is 00:26:49 A conspiracy. Yeah. It's conspiracy, people, honestly. What's the craziest rumor you've ever heard about yourself? Um, I mean, honestly, what is it? Like. That's the craziest thing you've ever heard about yourself? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I know. Mine was like... No, I literally can't think of it right now. I feel like just like in general, like being the devil and stuff. Oh, I've gotten that. But like that's kind of cool.
Starting point is 00:27:19 I think so. You know. It's like... If this is what the devil looks like, you can't got nothing to worry about. I know. Don't be afraid. I know. Hell's great if that's the kid.
Starting point is 00:27:28 They're just blasting coconuts in hell. Hell is so hot. Just like shaking titties in hell all day. Hey, if that's what it looks like, I'm in. Yeah, same. Mine was like that I'm like a government plan. sent here by the enemy. Like I'm not even from the United States.
Starting point is 00:27:45 I'm like from a foreign country and I've been sent here to infiltrate TikTok to like further a feminist agenda to like literally like make men hate themselves. And I'm like I'll take credit for the last one. The rest of it I don't know anything about. No, but like honestly it's a huge compliment. I'd say. I said he's treating me like I was Jason Warren. Like I've been off the grid for like years and I just came back. and I have a new identity and I have a new face.
Starting point is 00:28:11 I'm like, damn, I've been busy. Yeah. I don't know anything about that, but I've been busy apparently. And I'm only 27, so I feel like that was probably the rudest thing was an acting like, I've been on the earth for like 50 years. I'm like, okay. Yeah, that's messed up. That's rude.
Starting point is 00:28:24 At least get, I mean. Ages. Yeah. At least be right about the age if you're going to accuse me of being a secret agent. Totally. It was like I'm a CIA operative. I was like, damn. If I was, that'd be crazy.
Starting point is 00:28:38 I. kind of like the idea of it turn it into a movie i'm so like conspicuous though like i cannot hide you know what i mean like i'm six feet tall so i like i stand out in a crowd yeah i'd be the worst secret agent in the world they'd be like that's yeah she's an agent yeah yeah they'd sniff me out in a heartbeat i can't blend in for shit yeah i feel like i'm pretty obvious too people always tell me i'm just like obviously like just they're like even when i like think i wear like a just like a, I don't know, like a hat and sunglasses. Like, it's like, why, definitely.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Like, I can't. I was like, hey, there's no point in doing that. I can still see you. Yeah, straight up. Oh, no, cool. So, yeah. Do you ever try to wear a disguise in public? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Sometimes. It doesn't really work at all. Yeah, and it's never really worked. Really? And I feel like the more you like try. Yeah. So, like, today is a really shitty day and I really don't want to be seen. The more is going to happen.
Starting point is 00:29:33 You're just like conjuring it up. So you might as well just like, ball's out. Just do it. Yeah. Totally. At this point, that's how I feel. Like, it's just like, it makes no sense.
Starting point is 00:29:42 There's no point. You're, like, more conspicuous if you try to hide. Yeah. I feel that. Totally. My boyfriend is such a big person, too, and everybody knows, like, online, like, especially TikTok, they know what he looks like, and he's bigger than me and has long hair. And he's hard to miss.
Starting point is 00:29:57 So, like, even if I was successfully hiding, he, like, gives me away in a second. Yeah. Like, I went to Coachella last year, and I was getting mobbed at one of the, point, but it was like because he's like a lighthouse. Like he's literally just bringing all the bad bitches to me. Famous. He's just like this and they all see him and they're like, oh my God. I know her.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Obsessed. No, I'm so suss. Like, I'm just so suss. Like, even if I like fly somewhere for a job, I feel like I'm just like awkward and like I feel like I did something wrong and like, you know, I feel like that's just me. I'm just really suspicious. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:34 You just look at you and you're suspicious. Yeah. Well, that's probably why they make. I'm concerned about you being the devil. Totally. It's because you're so suspicious. It's because I'm anxious. It's because I'm 80.
Starting point is 00:30:44 The devil's really anxious. Yeah, the devil's really anxious. Devil gets social anxiety. Yeah, totally. Shaking. Make Mother's Day even more special at Whole Foods Market. Kick off brunch or dinner
Starting point is 00:30:56 with quality cheese and charcutory with no synthetic nitrates. Then go seafood. There's an abundance on sale at Whole Foods Market where it's all sustainable while caught are responsibly farmed. At the bakery, grab seasonal treats like their strawberry pretzel cream pie, and you can't go wrong with a ready-to-heathe Kish Lorraine, devil-degs,
Starting point is 00:31:15 and fresh-cut fruits to go. Celebrate Mom with Whole Foods Market. Okay, we'll go on to this next video. So this next one is, it says at this live panel, a man is answering a question on how he feels about modern feminism and why it creates harmful views on men. And he says, I think feminism from the very beginning has been anti-family. and talks about how trans people undermine what most feminists have been working towards.
Starting point is 00:31:43 So you're a turf, okay. Yeah. So you're a-turf, got it. Boo. Boo, tomato. I know. What fucking live panel are you at where you're just being a turf publicly? I know.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Was that the NRA? Convention? Republican National Convention? I know. Where the fuck are you where you're like, hey, guys, anyone else a turf in here? What live panel is that? It's so annoying. I also just think it's so void.
Starting point is 00:32:10 That's why I'm like anti-family. That's so strange. Yeah, no, that's like, that's just, I don't know where people pull that stuff from. They just make it up. I'm like, where'd you hear that from another cis straight person? Yeah. Yeah, that's the source. Ask them, someone who's not trans and someone who doesn't identify with the community at all.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Ask them what they think. I know. They always have the most to say. How did it? It's so, like, insane. It's crazy because minding your business is free. And it clears your skin. Look at me and Kim's skin. That's because we mind our business.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Maybe you should mind yours. Yeah, you could get there too. You could get rid of that terrible skin if you just minded your own business. Straight up. I always think when they say anti-family, it's like they just want to force women to have kids and be like a nuclear family. I know. And that's so freaking dark. And I feel like, especially, like, being trans,
Starting point is 00:33:10 we're all just trying to have the choice over our own life and our own bodies. Yeah. And that's, like, the collective goal here, you know? So it's just like, you make no sense and you make yourself look dumb. You want to be able to make choices for your own body? That's crazy. Yeah. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:33:28 You look free will, kind of like what all cis men have. Yeah. Just want that too. It's just control. Yeah. People like hanging on to like the way it was and like all that shit. Like, who wants that? And then you even think too, like they always say that.
Starting point is 00:33:44 But it's like just because, you know, Kim Petrus didn't exist back in the 1920s doesn't mean that trans people didn't exist back in the 1920. You know what I mean? Like just because you never saw them in a black and white movie film doesn't mean they didn't exist. Yeah, totally. And like they didn't put them in movies and they hit them away from like society. Like there's like a lot I just recently read like something
Starting point is 00:34:07 about like the first like gender affirming clinic like in Germany like maybe earlier than that honestly And yeah that that stuff's always existed And it's just like now finally people You know are being are being seen And like have you know with TikTok
Starting point is 00:34:25 And with social media Everyone can you know shine And be out there and build their own life Absolutely It's so cool that that's happening and like of course Or it's like that's going to get people really, really upset. But it's always existed and like anyone like, anyone who knows anything about anything just, you know. No, truly.
Starting point is 00:34:46 What I talk about too, like I'm someone, right? So like I'm indigenous Pacific Islander. Yeah. My culture never adhered to a gender binary prior to being colonized. So we've always had a third gender for people who didn't adhere to either one. Yeah, that's awesome. very normal. Like before, many indigenous cultures had that. Many cultures in general had that. So the fact that they're like, it's always been boy, girl. That's just simply not true.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Like it's just like literally like historically, culturally speaking, it's not true. Yeah. So it's so void. I'm like, are you talking about like your own personal experience? You've never met a trans person? That doesn't mean they've never existed. Like, I mean, me personally, I've never met Tom Brady. I'm assuming he's real. I've never met him. How am I to know? Never seen him in real life.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Sam. How do I know if he's real? How about you guys just made him up? I doubt it. How about that? No. I've never met him, so I don't know. Yeah, I guess he doesn't exist.
Starting point is 00:35:48 Yeah, I think it's interesting. I think some people, like, really just lack basic empathy for anyone and really don't care about anyone's, like, life experience. Like, I'm always really interested in other people's lives. Whenever I meet someone who has had a different experience than me, which I, you know, a lot of people, I'm interested in them and in their culture and like what, you know, what their life is like.
Starting point is 00:36:11 I would learn. Yeah. Like, and I just feel like it's so sad that some people just like would rather not learn because it makes them, totally, because it makes them doubt themselves too. I feel like a lot of, you know, honestly, guys have never dealt with themselves and what their own gender. and like that gender you know doesn't have to be so intense and they just live in this bubble that it's like I'm a man so I'm like this and it's like fucking sad yeah what a sad colorless life to leave I know like I love people me too love learning about other experiences and like interested and empathetic towards people that's cool to me I don't want to learn about everyone and you know and just like it's so not cool to be that It also costs you nothing.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Yeah. It costs you zero dollars to be like, well, I haven't had that life experience, but I respect your right to have the life experience. Just like respect everyone. Yeah. It's okay. It's like so easy. It costs you nothing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:17 I think. Yeah. Just like it costs me nothing to hate terrible men, but they really don't like when I do that. All of a sudden, I'm the bad guy. Yeah. When I talk about how awful they are, they're like, whoa, hold on, hold on, hold on. That's different. I'm like, I don't respect your choice to be an awful man.
Starting point is 00:37:34 That's a choice. That's an actual choice that they make. Kim Petrus approves this. Okay, so the comments on this video, this first one says, feminism is a contradiction. Need I say more? I mean, probably, because I don't know what that means. I would probably say, I would elaborate.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Just for the audience, because I'm a stupid woman, so it's hard for me to understand. me and Kim are confused so I would need definitely need more a little bit the sex one says there's a reason why feminists were labeled terrorists who did that when did they do that never I'm assuming people like that can vote can you believe that shit I know people like that can vote in federal and local elections that below my mind that some men who walk ground with shit like that noodling around in there or making decisions that will affect all of us. Isn't that crazy? And they can also have guns.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Girl, that's insane. You need to have an IQ test to get a gun and to vote. It's like, the way I need to revoke your license when you say post shit like that, I'm going to be like, give it to me. Straight up. Goes on my dresser and you don't get it back until I say so. Like that makes zero sense. And I will say I terrorize quite men. I terrorize terrible men quite a lot. I'll admit to that for sure.
Starting point is 00:39:04 That's a choice I make. I make it actively and proudly. So sick. I like choose to go in there and just fucking everything up. And then I'll be like, I'll see you in three months and I leave. You're doing everything. I check in with them every quarter and I'm like, hey, it's too quiet in here. Someone better step up.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Okay, this is next, this last comment says, true. It's doing more damage to the society. sometimes I think it's a way of pushing homosexuality it might have an effect on it What is feminism? Feminism is pushing homosexuality Yep Did you hear the news?
Starting point is 00:39:42 Facts Uh-oh Yeah Like I That's a tough logic And I don't see Point A point F how do they I don't know
Starting point is 00:39:53 Yeah I guess they're just two things they don't like feminism and homosexuality, I guess. Jesus Louise. Yeah. That's when they say, I think that the link, me giving them too much credit. I think it's like feminism is like women empowerment and they think that's emasculating men and therefore they're feminizing men.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Gender's not real. Did you know that? Yeah. Who's going to tell them? I know. Gender was made up. I know. By white people.
Starting point is 00:40:19 But it sucks so much that like people think being a woman or homosexuality is degrading. No, truly. Why? It's so lesser than. I know, it's so lesser than. That's exactly why it exists and why equality is important. Equality, y'all. It's the same thing as like, it's cool.
Starting point is 00:40:37 If you have a problem, like a genuine problem and you're like, I need help with this. Who do you call? I call my mom. I call my dad, you know what he's going to say? Did you call your mom? Nope. That's why I called you. I said, and then you know what I tell him?
Starting point is 00:40:50 I did and she didn't answer. That's why I called you. Yeah. He's like, I would wait for your mom to call you back. See what I mean? It's like when you have an actual issue, who do you reach out to nine times that it's a woman. Absolutely. Because women are smart, capable, empathetic.
Starting point is 00:41:04 They're just so capable of handling any situation on the planet. Straight up. That's why I'm like, you're going to call your dad? What's you going to do? Fix it? How? With tools? Me just being a dick.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Sorry, dad. Sorry to my dad. He fixes things in my house all the time. There you go. Good for something. Just kidding. They're going to clip that and be like, see what I'm talking about toxic
Starting point is 00:41:29 women terrorists. Good for something. They say that about women. They say that about women all the time. Yeah, no, they do. They do. You think feminism is pushing homosexuality? Yes or no? Like,
Starting point is 00:41:46 it just... I think you're an idiot. Whoever wrote that comment. It's honestly so, like, lit that you even made that. Like, are you like so obliterated writing that, you know, like dumbest person alive easily. Yeah, no deaf. Like actual caveman brain.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Yeah. I've been like when I had Bob the Drag Queen on. Just on mess. Writing that. I had Bob the Drag Queen on and I told him I watched this video of two like rigidly straight men like cis men being so violently homophobic and misogynistic about women and stuff. They always are. They were talking to each other. And they kept talking about how, like, they felt like going down on women is disgusting. But they were like, but sucking dig is different because it's easy.
Starting point is 00:42:33 They're talking about for women, allegedly, for women. And Bob was, and then someone retweeted the tweet, I saw it. And they were like, I'm being so serious. Have you ever thought about just putting a dick in your mouth? Like, maybe you should try it. Sometimes I think that about comments like that they're like, you're making threads to shit that has not, like, feminism has nothing to do with being gay. I mean, there are feminists. that are gay, I'm sure, but you don't know that or care about that, so that's not really
Starting point is 00:42:58 what they're talking about. Totally. It's like this weird tie of like, I think it's like an obsession when they have this obsession with trans people, when they have an obsession with gay people or not even really feminist. It's mostly just the LGBTQIA plus community. Yeah, it really is. An obsession with like talking shit on it, like ripping it apart. Like at what point do you admit you're a fan?
Starting point is 00:43:21 You know what I mean? The line is so thin. It's so thin. Between love and hate, it's razor thin. It's so thin. If all you ever post is anti-trans rhetoric, I think you're a fan. I know.
Starting point is 00:43:35 I think you're a fan, girl. Totally. You have a problem. I mean, that's honestly the way to think about it. But, like, yeah, people are so stupid. It's not even worth even talking about, honestly. Yeah, no. Or breaking down, why could that happen?
Starting point is 00:43:52 Totally. And, like, the thing is, like, so many people just think this is a new color. conversation like no it's a conversation that I've heard my entire life and I'm just tired of it like and it doesn't like even like there's not even like funny original ones or anything like that like this it's always just boring and a million times before it so just like I don't know I think come up with something more entertaining truly and I think a lot of times too like the far right will push this anti trans like anti like drag queens like anti LGBTQI plus community in general rhetoric, they'll just continue to push it all the time. And I feel like a lot of times, I mean, obviously it's just generalized bigotry as a whole. But it's also a distraction from like the real terrible things that are happening in the world.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Especially in this country. Like mass shootings, for example. Gun control. The climate change. There are things that are much more important and pressing that we should be paying attention to. But they distract and fearmonger and try to make trans people to be this like crazy hidden enemy that's going to come and get us all. I know. And it's like it's so little of the population.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Like no literally like actually. It's like a tiny group of the population. Yeah. Like why is this like such a huge deal? And like what does someone on a beer can? Like that girl, that's not going to hurt you at all. That whole shit I was like and I love Dylan to death and Dylan's been on the show too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Girl. Dylan doesn't affect you like. It's not going to do anything. And if she does, you're a bitch. I'm so sorry to say it. Like, you're a bitch. If she makes you burn shit that you've had in your house for years, you're soft. You sock.
Starting point is 00:45:35 You're so soft, though. Like, get thicker skin. Like, life is way too hard. I know. Much harder than having to deal with seeing someone that you probably don't care for, being a brand ambassador for Bud Light. Straight up. It's so weird.
Starting point is 00:45:53 You know what's so funny is? it proves the demographic of who drinks that beer. Yeah. Worst people in the world. True. Just the worst people in the world. People who like, I don't know. They have a really bad farmer's tan at all times.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Men like that. Yeah, yeah. Missing tooth, do you know what I mean? No teeth. No teeth at all. Yeah. I saw so many TikToks too of people making fun of dudes like throwing shit out. Like they're like throwing.
Starting point is 00:46:23 It's funny too because, um, I saw some men being like, this is why I'm going to only drink Jack Daniels. And Jack Daniels has been openly supportive of the trans community for a long time. Oh my God. They don't know that because they're f***ing dumb. So they're like, yeah, sure. Yeah. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Yeah, sure. Why not? Then when they found that out, they're like, what am I going to do now? Yeah. I'll move on to a different beer. Just like. Well, keep moving on. Just keep moving.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Move all the way home. and don't leave ever again. That's what I suggest. I know. Nobody wants to hear from you. No one. Least of all Kim and I. We don't want to hear.
Starting point is 00:47:01 Definitely not us. Definitely not us. Okay, so we've gotten to the end. And we've talked about a lot of things. Oh, so much. But what's something that you really want people to hear about trailblazing as a woman, as a trans person in general in the industry? Like, what's your best piece of advice that you would want to give?
Starting point is 00:47:24 everyone. Ooh, best piece of advice. Just, that's such a hard question. Okay. Well, I think in general, I know it's a really stressful time and it can be very overwhelming seeing what's happening in the U.S. And it is devastating and really intense and truly like an all-time worst, but just know that there's like a whole community.
Starting point is 00:47:54 who loves you and accepts you and that sees you as so much more as just transgender. You're a person and you deserve to be happy and people that judge how you find happiness suck. And that's what this podcast is about.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Because like anyone who tells anyone how to live is miserable and that they can't live their life the way they want to live it. And that's what Miss Drew stands for. Yeah. So.
Starting point is 00:48:27 And they're a certified Fuggo, I can confirm. Yes. They're ugly. So they're always ugly. It's okay. And also always that. So never forget that. Always remember that.
