You're listening to the Daily Show, I'm Ducky Leidick and I am back for night 3 of hosting baby. To all the female viewers, I want to say thank you. To all the female viewers, I want to say, ha ha, you're watching a girl so that makes you gay. To all the female viewers, I want to say thank you. To all the male viewers, I want to say,thank you. To all the male viewers, I want to say, ha ha, you're watching a girl, so that makes you gay. We got a great show for you tonight. Jamila Jamil is here. We've got a lot to talk about, so Tucker Carlson, the world's most unemployed boat shoe.

No one's heard from Tucker since his surprise firing on Monday, except the pillow he's been screaming into. And it turns out there may be a good reason for that. Fox News executives reportedly have a dossier of dirt on him. Yeah, to keep him from attacking the network. That's right, they apparently have him saying the most vile things you can imagine and the way they compiled it, and this is genius, is by turning on his television show and pressing record. Very sneaky, Fox. Let's move on to some breaking news.

If you've been following Florida politics, you're weird. And also, you know that Ron DeSantis has been attacking the Disney Corporation for a year now. Ever since Disney criticized his anti-gay bill, and also because they used his image for Quasimodo. This morning, Disney sued Ron DeSantis accusing him of political retaliation. Well, now the fight has reached the courts. This morning, Disney sued Ron DeSantis, accusing him of political retaliation, which... Good news, good news. Which sounds bad, but if they really wanted to

f-hom up, they'd slip his kid the Encanto soundtrack. As a parent, trust me, that can ruin your life. We don't talk about Bruno. How about we don't talk about giving you up for adoption if you don't turn that off? Let's move on to some entertainment news because it was just revealed that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that for adoption if you don't turn that off? Let's move on to some entertainment news because it was just revealed that Hugh Grant will star as an umpal lumpa in the upcoming Willy Wonka movie. It's kind of fun.

It kind of makes sense to have Umpalumpa be a British dude. Have you ever gone to the beach with a British person? This is exactly what their skin looks like after now now now now now now now now say, as a woman, it's nice to see a man age out of sexy roles for once, you know? Yeah, really fair. Listen, enjoy Timothy Shalamey while you can girls, because one day he'll be playing Golum. I'd still hit that. Let's move on to a lawsuit that's rocking the music world. Although it involves Ed Sharon so maybe not so much rocking as keeping the music world entertained while

shopping. Sheeran of course isn't just Prince Harry with a job. He's also one of the most successful singer-songwriters in the world. But now some people think that he got there by cheating. Now to Ed Sheeran in court, defending his Grammy-winning hit, thinking out loud, shearen is accused of copying one of Marvin Gay's biggest hits. The family of Ed Townsend, Marvin Gay's co-writer, accuses Shearne of copying the chord progression, rhythm and other elements of Let's Get It On. Here's Sharon's hit. And baby my heart could still fool us, heart of 23. And Marvin Gaze. And if you feel, I got to you, come on. Sharon denies the allegations. His lawyers plan to defend him by showing that both songs are based on a common chord progression.

I'm sorry, this is ridiculous. I mean, just because something sounds a little bit like something else, it doesn't mean it was stolen on purpose. I mean, four score and seven years ago, you never would have seen a lawsuit like this. I have a dream that someday these nuisance lawsuits will come to an end, Luke, I am your father. Look, if anyone should be suing Ed Sheeran, it's Elvis. I mean, stealing a black guy's music was his idea. Now that's copyright infringement. So I don't know how this is all going to turn out, but if Ed Sheeran was smart, he'd

try to move this Marvin Gay Trial to Florida, they refused to acknowledge anything gay there. And finally, some exciting news out of the world of science. And finally, some exciting news out of the world of science. Researchers are coming very close to answering one of mankind's biggest questions. Where are the sharks boning? Great white sharks are among the most famous fish in the sea, but a key detail about their lives has remained a mystery. For centuries, researchers have been unable to find the place where they mate in the Atlantic Ocean.

However, scientists may be on the verge of an answer. Chris Fisher founded O'SRGE. They'll soon hit their goal of 100 captures, tracking each one on lines. There's nine white shark populations around the world and no one has ever identified a mating site. With centuries of people on the ocean, no one's ever documented this? Well, this is a 400 million-year-old secret, the ocean's not going to give it up easy. Hold on, do sharks even have sex? I thought they just ejaculated on eggs like salmon or that Denny's I don't go to anymore.

Grand slam. But still, this is a very important scientific discovery. If there's one thing I know about sharks, it's that if they stop fucking, they die. Oh, wait, no, that's Nick Cannon I'm thinking of. For more on this research being done by scientists, we turn to Michael Costa. For more on this research being done by scientists, we turn to Michael Costa. Michael, you're out there on the ocean with the research team. Have you found the mating site yet?

Not yet. You know, the sharks only go to the mating site if they want to mate. So we have to wait until they've reached sufficient levels of what scientists call shark horniness. We've tried to get the sharks in the mood by throwing rose petals in the water, playing some Marvin Gay or Ed Sheeran. No one can tell the difference, but so far, no luck. I see. I see. And what exactly is the scientific value of finding the shark mating site?

It's incredibly valuable, Desi. If we can find the part of the ocean where the great whites mate, then researchers can place a camera down there. And then, we get to watch. For research purposes? Not really. No, no, we just want to watch. For research purposes? Not really. No, no, no, no, we just want to watch.

Ideally, in one of those underwater cages, you know, just out of sight, but they know we're there. And once they really get going, if you turn your oxygen tank off at the exact right moment, then it really kicks it up and dash. Oh my god, Michael, that's gross. You guys only went there to watch these sharks have sex? Well not at first but but they're being so secretive about their mating site you know that now we got to see it. If they're hiding it that well you know they're doing some real freaky shark shit down there, okay? Plus the scientist told us and I confirm this is a real fact Des-D Des. this this is this is this is this is this is a this is a th. this is a th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the thi. thi. the s. the s. the s. the s. the s. the s. the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. th. the. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. thi. their their their thld us, and I confirm this is a real fact, Desi. Great white sharks have two penises. We got to see how that works.

Oh my god, Michael, this is completely, completely, and hold on. Did you just say two penises? Go on. Yeah, yeah, I wish I could. I have so many questions. Do they use both penises at the same time, or is one of them a spare? Is one a grower and one a shower? Is it like twins where one of them is slightly better looking than the other? Science needs to know.

Right, right, or like, can the shark rub them together while she watches? Wait, sorry, God, no. Possum. We didn't send you to the ocean just to indulge some kink. How dare you, Desi, okay? This isn't kinky. This is nature. Studying the cyclical copulation patterns of these majestic apex predators could unlock the evolutionary mysteries of the deep. Wow. You know what Michael I'm sorry I totally underestimated your passion for

this. Yeah you're right this is very exciting. Hell yeah it's exciting. I am rock hard just thinking about it. I got a sperm way off that's about the surface right here dezy. Oh my God, Jesus Christ, Michael Kassa, everybody. I'm telling HR, when we come back, we'll find out why Kentucky is it. Welcome back to the Daily Show. I live here in New York City, but my heart and liver damage are from my home state of Kentucky. Thanks to Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, Kentucky doesn't have the best reputation. So I wanted to show that there's a lot more than you think. Take a look.

Kentucky and I have both changed a lot since my youth. But unfortunately, the changes the state currently faces can't be resolved with acutane and 150 hours of community service. Kentucky legislators passed one of the strictest anti-trans laws in the nation. House Bill 300 would allow prosecutors to charge a th th th th th th th th a th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thoe tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho-a tho-a tho-a th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I'm th. I'm the, the, the, the, the. the. thean thatea. thate. thate. I'm thate. I'm thate. I'm the. I'mest anti-trans laws in the nation. House Bill 300 would allow prosecutors to charge a woman with criminal homicide if she gets an abortion. Police can't enforce any kind of federal ban on guns. Banning gender affirming care. Taking aim of drag shows. A stifles free speech. A trigger law. It's a second amendment. He can stop. These bills are getting shoved through like a fried chicken sandwich in McConnell's

lipless mouth. But did Kentuckyans really feel this way? Absolutely not. Kentuckians are suffering because of their decisions. We can do things a lot better. It's like we're a voice of the falling upon deaf ears. It's a lot of straight white men, a lot of older men. I would say, and to Mitch in particular, that the vast majority of American people are sick and tired of the guns, turtle-based.

There's that southern hospitality I miss. But she's right, Kentuckians aren't happy with their lawmakers. In fact, statistics have shown a majority support access to abortion, background checks on guns and oppose the law in gender-affirming health care. So how is this happening? To get more insight, I met a local journalist who's shining a spotlight on the politics happening in conservative states. There's only one way to have this conversation and that is over-burden. So it's it's safe to say that a lot of these laws that are passing from extreme legislators

are not reflective of the values of the people of Kentucky. So my view is we're seeing an extreme Republican agenda because our legislators are governing not like Republicans, not like Kentuckians. If you look at the laws being passing Kentucky, they're the exact same ones being passed in Florida, or Mississippi. So these are much different states with much different priorities, but they have the exact same agenda because the Republicans in every state.

Just passing a list of things Donald Trump and other right Republicans like and they're popular on Fox News. You know what, let's just keep this flowing. I don't want to see this glass empty. Where do we go from here? Is there is any solution? I think ultimately we have to in the short term shame them out of passing the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most to to the most the most the most to the most to be?. to to to to to to to to to to to the the the toe? toeckia? toeckiaqiaqi? toeck? their their toeck? their toe? toeckeckeckeckeckeckeckeckeckeckeckeckeckeck......... to be....... toe... toe... toe. toe. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I toe. I the the term, shame them out of passing the most aggressive version of these bills. Criticize them enough to make sure that they are told when they go to church or when they go to the grocery store that you passed a terrible bill and acted like a bigot. Are you sure that shame would work with Kentucky Republicans?

I look at Rand Paul. If I got my ass kicked in my front yard by my neighbor, I would never leave my house again. I'm not saying it's a full-proof point, and I'm just saying that these legislators have to walk in public and live their life. And I do think you want to make clear that you have done something terrible. It might be the drinks, but I have an idea. What if we may make the the the the the the the the drink the drink the drink the drink the drink the drink the drink the the the thea theat theathea theathea theathea theathea theathea theatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheathe. to be th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to th. t. t. t. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. change through the power of song, through subliminal messages?

We could write a country song. No one's tried that. No one's tried that. We'll sing it together. Okay, because we know how it goes. It goes, here in Kentucky, we got bourbon and horses and a woman's right to choose. We have great education. Well funded, well supported, public schools. Oh, this is so good. Okay, we got to record this. You count as being subliminal? The irony is that even as the Kentucky legislature becomes more extreme, Kentucky's citizens are trying to bring the state toget. Citi. Citi. Citiens like, to the state to choose. C. Cet. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their. We. We. We. We. We. We. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to the to to to to to to to to to to the to the the that even as the Kentucky legislature becomes more extreme, Kentucky's citizens are

trying to bring the state together. Citizens like Edward Lee. Edward Lee, an award-winning chef founded the Lee Initiative, a non-profit seeking to increase diversity and equality in the restaurant industry. And he's achieving this on a national level as well. Chef Edward Lee, owner of 16 Magnolia in Louisville, has been invited to the White House to cook for the US and South Korea state dinner. When it comes to politics, he has a more grassroots approach.

There are people in power here that have their agenda. But there's some belief in me where you stay and you fight the good fight, and you build community and make sure that people do not feel not the the the the and the and th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi and thi and their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their....... their their their their their their their their the their the the the the the the the the the the theuu. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the that people do not feel marginalized, that people do not feel alone, that people do not feel like they're the only ones in this fight. And to me, that's stronger than any political movement. We have done dinners here where we have brought different groups at the table to sit down and talk things out. And I would say, at the end of the dinner, you still disagree. The only difference is now you see the other person as a human being.

Do you think this level of humanity and kindness and outreach that you do could ever exist in the Kentucky legislature? They come here for dinner, I can ask them. Has Mitch McConnell ever? We don't serve and tell. You don't serve and tell. We've been here 21 years. I'll say this. Everyone's been through here. How many times have you spit in his food? I don't say it. I waited tables for 10 years. Oh that is against everything I stand for. I know a thing or two about spitting in food. Despite not taking my advice, Edd left me feeling hopeful, so I sobered up and hit

the streets to see if other people shared Ed's vision. You have to have hope because otherwise you wake up and you live in fear and that's not what we in Kentucky do. We get up and we go to work and we take care of our families and we're good to our neighbors. When something bad happens in the state, everyone rallies together and the good fight still continues on. We are the solution and we truly have got to become much more forceful and active. I think we can make it uncomfortable enough for those who are in charge of the voting, who are in charge of representing us. Yeah, make him uncomfortable.

Slip him laxatives, key his car, put a bag of shit on his doorstep, light it on fire. You know the problem with that only makes me look bad. That would not achieve the goal I have. Plus it takes all that time to shit in the bag and light not fire. That's right. Right, thank you. You know know we can get some good bourbon around here Well at my house, but oh leave the way I'll follow you I'll go to the library. Oh, it's okay. I'll go with you. You know I actually have a sign if you don't mind picking up the tab. I've racked up quite the bill. You said Kentuckyuckians are generous, right? When we come back, Jamil and Jamil will be joining me on the Daily Show. My guest tonight is an actor, activist, and the host of the Smartless Media Podcast Bad

Dates. Please welcome Jamila Jamil. Oh my God! I knew you'd be bringing the fashion alone. I knew you'd be bringing the fashion. I knew it. I knew it. I brought my little bag. This is weird that I bring my handbag on television. You don't trust anybody. No, it is. I think it's specifically This is weird that I bring my handbag on television. You don't trust anybody. No, it is. I think it's specifically like a woman of color thing where we're just always ready for

some sort of shit to go down. Well, I want to be prepared. Don't trust anyone. No. Don't trust anyone. . . so wonderfully I'm loving you on the show. I'm loving you. I am a huge fan of yours. You're such a brilliant comedic actress. I loved you on the good place. Thanks. And but I have to say I think one of the things that I adore

most about you is how outspoken you are on social media standing up for things that you believe in. There's one whoop everyone else is very upset. We love it. We love it. You love it. You you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you th th th th th th th th th tho th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho to to to tho to to thooooooooooooooooooooooooo to thooo tho tho tho tho tho tho things that you believe in and you're one whoop everyone else is very upset. We love it. We love it. You are so vocal and and and it's so important it means so much. So do you ever get nervous about that? Like I overthink what emogees I use on group text. No I think the problem is that I don't get nervous about it. I think that's where we've gone wrong. And I accept that. But I also think that I have started to occupy a very important but rare space for a woman in media, which is f-foo representation. It's like, fine, I'm South Asian representation, I get that.

But we don't have enough representation of women who make mistakes, who falter, who get back up, who learn, who grow, and decide to do better. So many of us cancel ourselves and we remove ourselves from society because we've been bred to believe that we're supposed to always be so that we're supposed to always be so that I'm not always approved of and sometimes I do make mistakes and I am fallible and I have had a messy life and I have had a messy life and we have to be able to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to to to the to to the to to the to the the to to the the the to the the to to to to to to to to to the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the toooooomeck.eck.ecklea. to to to see that in the public eye so that we all know that we reserve the right to make mistakes to come back and to grow and do better. I think. I didn't have those role models. I just saw only perfect I am also a woman that fused up you know no one's perfect. I just saw only perfect people who always looked perfect who always said the perfect thing and I think that was kind of damaging so the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. So their. So their. So their. So their. So I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I's their. I's their. I's is is is their. I's is is. I's is. I's is. I's is. I's is their. I's is their. I's their. I's. I's their. I's their. I's their. I'm their. I'm their their. I'm their their their the. I'm thea. I'm thea. I'm tea. I'm thea. I'm thea. I'm toea. I'm toe. I'm toe. I'm th role models. I just saw only perfect people who always looked perfect who always said the perfect thing and I think that was kind of damaging so there you go I've found a way to pretend it's valuable

You have a new podcast out bad dates. It is so funny. You get the best guests and they come on and they tell these horrendous worst date stories. Yeah, it's disgusting it's unbelievable never listen to it with any of your children. Oh no that's a bad idea. All your parents. It's it's so filthy it's so funny and it's not about like traumatic bad dates it's just about the silliest things we've ever done on the road to love or shagging or both and I think that we can all we can all relate we've all you know you know we've all been there. We've all had terrible dates. Yeah. Or sometimes we are the bad dates. Yeah.

100%. 100%. That's my wheelhouse. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. What is your worst? You told a horrible date story. The one that like almost gave Alroka a heart attack.

Yeah, for the second time. Oh, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho. tho. th. th. tho. tho. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

Yeah, yeah, for the second time. Oh God, I'm sorry. I didn't know about the first one? Yes, no, no, I don't know, I just made that up. I totally made that up. No, you did, but it was a great, it was a great story. And I'm, has that guy ever come back? No, but everyone's looking for him. He's a famous man. Basically there was an incident with

he, oh God, he took three steps into my apartment, passed out and had a seizure and all of his front teeth broke and flew across my apartment and I had to call 911 which was actually really exciting if you're English and you've seen it done in the movies but I I did that the police come in and the ambulance and the fire brigade and everyone's trying to resuscitate him they bring him back to and they're like so have you taken anything he's like yeah I've had a little bit of cocaine but I always take cocaine and I was like oh sure red flag and then and they were were like they were like they were like they were like they were like they were like they were like they were like they were like they were like they they they they they were like red flag. And then and they were like have you taken anything else and he was like no and they start pulling the blanket

over his body and as they go past his penis he gets rock hard and he looks at me like bleeding with such regret and goes I might have had some Viagra. Oh, thea. Tuthless and disgrace. Oh, such a beautiful first-date story. Yeah, thank you. They, this is, this is James. It's not my boyfriend, James. Yeah, and now they're together. They're in a healthy relationship. This is, this is reason alone why they should start regulating erectile dysfunction medications

as much as they regulate the abortion pill. Great reason. So you won't say who it is. It was an actor. Is it Chris Evans? It's not Chris Evans? But he has had a beard ever since because he split his chin open that day and had loads of stitches. So just look under the chins of all of your next few guests.

There you know, you'll maybe find it. Oh my God. It's such a funny. So funny. Do you, so, so the, you hear all these horrible bad date stories. What, if you could give a piece of advice to to to people, to people, to people, to people, to people, to people, to people, to people, to to to to the the to the the to their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their... their. their. their. their. their. their, just. their, just. their, just. you hear all these horrible bad date stories. Yeah. What, if you could give a piece of advice to people who are out there dating right now, having heard all these stories, what would you say?

Anything's a dildo if you're brave enough. I love that. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Fearless, I tell you. Fearless, I tell you, fearless. This is the problem. My publicist is that literally ready to like jump me.

Please, this is late night TV. You can literally say anything. Anything. You started this movement called IWay, which started as a social media post, but now it's blown up into this huge movement. What is it? So it started off as a kind of conversation and a movement around eating disorders and the ways in which we value.

Specifically, women around their body weight. We use a weighing scale to decide someone's value. But it has now grown into more of a mental health movement and a social advocacy space, where, you know, including on the left on the left on the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and the, and the, and tho, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th..... th........ th. th, th........ thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, to, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to a very welcoming space for people to come and to learn and to ask difficult questions or to unpack their old bullshit or was that a fart? Oh, excuse me. I'm so sorry I didn't think anyone would hear that. And so, um, pretend like that didn't happen.

I think we can sometimes over punish people for what they just don't already know. We can't to ask ask ask ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their and their and their and their and their and their and their and their and their and their and their and their and their and so their and so their their their their their their their their their their their the the the the the the the the the the thooooooo. the the to the to to the their their their their their happen. I think we can sometimes over-punish people for what they just don't already know and we can't separate ignorance from evil. And so what we created at I-Way is a safe space where, you know, wherever you're from, you're you know, wherever you're from, you know where you're at in your knowledge, you're welcome with me because I don't know shit about anything. And so if I can learn from these wonderful people on the I-Way podcast, which is separate to the Bad Dates podcast, they are very different, then you can join me in what I've been learning. And there's a movement coming around it. So it is a whole movement in general and we work with social media sites to make them less toxic, but now I'm going after the, you know I've I've made a a a a the movement a the movement a their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th, th, their, tho, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, tho, their, tho, tho, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, the, the, the, the, to the, to to theeea, the know I've I've made a big deal about the diet industry and I don't know if anyone

heard but now I'm taking on the exercise industry because it's become intertwined I feel like it's shagging the diet industry right they're now in a close and personal relationship and it is and they're both shagging the rest of us yeah yeah exactly but not in the nice way and so I'm I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I'm I'm I'm I'm th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the th th th the the the thi th th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the thi thea the thea thi thea the thi th behind. Exactly, but not in the nice way. And so I'm incredibly concerned at how much people only ever associate exercise with weight loss and with looking a certain way or with hyper fitness. And that's been reinforced by everything we see. All the campaigns are always like the slimmest, most often whitest and the fittest and fastest people in the world.

And actually, because I had an eating disorder for 20 years, like I never used to exercise, unless it was to punish myself for what I'd eaten the day before. And I think a lot of us have that cycle, especially if you were born in the 90s, or if you're a teenager who's growing up now. And so I would like like like to like to like to like to like to like to like to like the to like to the to to the to like the the the toe. I the tienighnighe. I tienigh. I tien. I thea. I thea. I'm thea thea theatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheananananananananananananananananananananananananan.......... I'm t. I'm t. I'm t. I'm t. I'm t. I'm t. I'm the. thea. thea. thea. t thea. t thea. thea. thea. thea. tee. t leave fat people, we leave people with disabilities, we leave pregnant people, we leave all kinds of people out of the exercise world. And we make you feel like by the time you join a gym, you have to look like you've already been going to a gym for 10 years.

And I'm so done with that because the mental health benefits of exercise don't the way that you feel. And now that I have finally understood that, I'm no longer exercising so that I am appropriate to look at for someone else. I'm exercising for myself for the immediate benefits and you don't have to have perfect form, and you don't have to have abs and you don't have to wear the bloody crop top and the bra and legg leggings that are lemon so you can see your actual asshole through them. Like you you can wear loose clothes you can dress like Eminem you know you can do what you want. Yes. And so you know it's like you can you can you can snack while you're exercising within reason like be careful about throwing up down yourself. But I just want to reclaim it.

I want to make sure that this club that we get left out of exclusive shouldn't be a good word anymore. It's a terrible word. It means leaving people out deliberately and pricing them out. It's becoming a wealth gap situation. So I'm trying to bring people back to exercise. We're trying to to to to to to to democrat to democrat to democrat to democrat to democrat to democrat to democrat to democrat to democrat to democrat to democrat to democrat to democrat to democrat to democrat to dmococococococococococococococon exercise to to to to to to media as I'm going to try to do some exercise it's going to become increasingly ridiculous as you can

imagine every single day in May and then we're going to start putting on events that are a safe space for exercise where there aren't mirrors and there aren't tight clothes and there is fun food and where we are not going to make you feel as though there is a physical standard you're supposed to meet we just want you to feel happy.
