So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills. But it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Upfront payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for a 12-month plan

Starting point is 00:02:01 you don't even tell me like what's going on like throughout your day when you text me and then um i was like i'm home alone all fucking day doing the same thing i don't get to see anybody i want to know the workplace drama tell me all the details i want to know when a dog shits on the office was anybody with you in the elevator yeah i have to know everything that was anyone you know downstairs in the gym shower because sometimes there's a guy who works in another um office who forgets his stuff there that's interesting very interesting so was there a new kind of chewy bar in the kitchen yeah there are things also can you know mr liz some of those for me yeah most important we're saving money here yeah um and i love a good chewy bar i i'm
Starting point is 00:02:48 i'm very anti return to office like forcing people to return to office it's just so it feels so unnecessary and that being said i would like to go into a public place where i could work with co-workers at least like once a week yeah i've been going into a coffee shop to do some of the freelance work like with the with the gal that i'm working with and it's the best thing in the world when she proposed it was like does emilia work from home and i was like yeah he's like could you guys work together that's a great idea I was like huh I hadn't considered that that is a very good idea 10 minutes away for me yeah yeah so I'm I'm gonna try and get a I'm gonna use my work from home stipend to get a little um second monitor connector because then it'll be way easier for
Starting point is 00:03:34 me to go work places that's a great idea you know I I don't love working um just because of all all of the boring things that I just listed yeah um but I enjoy it when I'm around another person and my surroundings change um but the thing that always holds me back is like I heavily depend on having a second monitor to like split up my work that stops a lot of people from working anywhere but a desk it's just once you have one you can't go back I hear that I did get used to having a second monitor but then like once the pandemic happened and I started working from couch WFC I was like do I really need a second monitor and the answer is still yes but like I've convinced myself I don't I just work like hunched over do you work on the couch still
Starting point is 00:04:22 t-rex arms yeah girl I prefer it I know it's so uncomfortable I just don't like sitting upright like the amount of time that we spend recording this podcast is about as long as I can do it's it's such a character flaw it's really I don't know how I did it for eight hours a day before did you ever stand to the standing desk yeah we had them but i never i love doing a stand i don't think i really ever took advantage of it there were some people in the office that exclusively stood i'm like okay you're better than me trying to prove okay um our friend who stood next to me or not stood next to me our desks were next to each other she i mean sometimes we'd be standing next to each other um but she would try and always stand at her desk like i think
Starting point is 00:05:08 two ish hours of the day so right when she got in she'd stand they say sitting is the new cigarette who is saying that too many people get fucked yeah they say it's like one of the worst things you can do for yourself is sit down sit all day yeah okay tell that to the people who have to stand at work all day yeah and work in service industries right no no that's that but there's something about your heart it's just not good for your heart i don't know i haven't read the articles because i don't sit well listen today i saw a hot take from um a conservative person that said the facts are the sun um is good for your eyes so sunglasses are bad for your eyes was the specific take and i was like stare at the fucking sun i don't care yeah i mean believe
Starting point is 00:05:59 your dumb things donald trump your asshole yeah during the eclipse the one thing they told him not to do it's like the only time you shouldn't look at the sun specifically anyways sometimes i think about even steven's uh halloween episode and everyone's like eyes are they like lose their eyes or something and they're wearing sunglasses because there's an optometrist at the school um but i think they're like taking everyone's eyeballs out or something and uh the older brother who's kind of dumb there's i love the himbo older brother oh yeah that disney always had yes yeah anyways yeah but he's like oh do you think you could check my eyes because um every time i look at the sun my eyes hurt
Starting point is 00:06:46 i love that it took me like until i was older to like understand that joke i love the himbo brother trope but specifically how disney writes those characters is so like their lines are so good like ethan craft was like the best written character in lacey mcguire so good i i'm thinking about uh boy meets world himbo brother oh yeah he started out as like a hot himbo yeah like kind of like ladies man and then became so fucking weird did he i don't remember that in the later seasons he's just so weird that's so when they go to college boy meets world when they're in college that feels like a fan fiction of boy damn you know what i mean maybe they're gonna turn into wolves and start like
Starting point is 00:07:38 fucking all over hogwarts or something they're soul bonded yeah with his knot in his dick or you know what listen i have to admit that i have been rereading that one i just think about sometimes skipping through to the sex scene like if this is someone's first episode listening to this podcast they're like what what the fuck did i sign up did i just hear wolves fucking in hogwarts and a knot and a penis uh-huh you did you sure did they're not wolves okay they just have wolf-like qualities wow try telling that to them wow Liz I'm not imagining them as wolves I'm imagining them as people hot people specifically sometimes me you can't read this hot salacious sex scene and tell me that you're not picturing yourself in
Starting point is 00:08:29 that okay i found it i found the i'm like is this porn i yeah it is i found the store i found the one you were talking about oh you did i did i went on the dromione um subreddit now that i like i know how to use a reddit and i found and i found the specific one that you talked about with the wolves and and i was like you know what i love liz and i'm going to support her in her interests and so I started reading it I couldn't do it I couldn't but I did try I need you to know that I did thank you I did try thank you I uh yeah if what if I sent you as did you get to the sex scenes no okay I'm gonna send you a screenshot of a sex scene I'll pick one of the lighter ones honestly they're all pretty aggressive okay you know what don't pick a lighter one
Starting point is 00:09:22 i just want to see what you think when you read it to the wolf wall on um if you're imagining them as wolves or like furries i just i don't think you're going to enjoy it because for sure i would not enjoy it for sure however like the idea of the omega verse like informing this tale it makes it very difficult for me to not think of them like being those like weird tiktok families that like think that they're wolves you know what i mean do you see what i mean like licking each other yeah yeah yeah each other yeah yeah the licking is a little like i'm like okay let's tone it down yeah um i as i've been rereading some of these scenes um and just like the fun parts of the plot uh i skip past all the drama i'm like whatever i've already read this um the
Starting point is 00:10:17 thing that stands out to me that i think is so fucking hilarious is just that like mcgonigal has like a little twinkle in her eye about the whole thing and she's like i know you guys are soulmates so i'm gonna let this one slide mcgonigal like a pimp no definitely not she's just like trying to make sure like hermione doesn't get like taken advantage of sounds like a pimp um sounds a lot like no one's getting paid here okay they're getting paid in love and experience they're getting paid in sex yeah well so i guess she is like a pimp i rest my case i am curious but i'm i'm like how would mcgonigal profit off of that i guess you know she just but she's just like she has all of the information and there's a bunch of
Starting point is 00:11:11 miscommunication but she is aware that they're like supposed to be soulmates just kind of based on like little hints that she gives and i'm just like the fact that she's like you kids go out and fuck wherever you want that's it it's okay because you're soulmates how old are they in this story unfortunately they are 18 but i just imagine 18 i on the germani subreddit it says like does anyone else just pretend they're in college and in my head i'm like i don't even pretend they're in college i pretend they're fully grown yeah adults with jobs yeah because i don't want to think about that no i just pretend that that you know maybe they're getting their like their doctorates yeah yeah they're like 28 and up honestly it's just like a yn but like a y a your age your age
Starting point is 00:12:08 yeah yeah see i'm like hip in the culture yeah look at me i just pointing the turn i cannot imagine this with high school kids it's kind of like euphoria i'm like they're my fucking age okay can we talk about euphoria real quick yes well not euphoria nate jacobs specifically what's his name fucking i think oh his real name yeah did you watch jacob alordi did you watch saltburn no i need to like he i know the whole plot of saltburn this is going to be a an unpopular opinion like i am confused like what the hype is with him like he's hot no but like is he though like is he or is he just tall that is that is like the biggest philosophical question of our time yeah is he hot or is he just tall yeah that's a good question because like if you look up any
Starting point is 00:13:05 picture of him he looks like you could just see him like working at any gas station i think i think he's genuinely hot okay that's fine i'm thinking about his bone his bone structure and i'm like attractive and his hands are big yeah i like big hands i mean he's large i cannot lie but like that you don't need to be a big guy to have big hands you know that's true but when the hands are big it's just there's something that feels so nice yeah no that's true the big hands are holding you he just doesn't he's just so like i see all these people just like losing their goddamn minds yeah it's a bit much and i'm like be fucking for real like this guy i just don't understand but also you know i have been attracted to some questionable characters so who am i to
Starting point is 00:13:54 talk who who amongst us hasn't like i really love post malone i mean he look he seems like a lovely man yes and that makes him very sexy to me but if i saw him on the street and did not know him as a person i'd be like what what is he good you know is that man okay what's going on with that man post malone yeah yeah that's true those tattoos are new when you have face tattoos there's always a part of you that's like are they okay yeah look are you good are you currently going through something or have you been through something because it's one or the other probably both yeah um who amongst us has it being a human is just going through something all the time that's so true um i have two very small topics so before we dump dump before we dump in before we dump into
Starting point is 00:14:42 your topics because you have like conversation starters yeah uh-huh I think so I had a girls night on Saturday and two things came up in which the entire room said had something to say everybody was like talk about this on the podcast and the first one which is the quickest one is quickie two of the girls there had hooked up with twins but like one of each amazing okay like one of them hooked up with twin a and one of them hooked up with twin b and they were like is there a word for that like what we are to each other for fucking twins and we uh-huh what do you think it would be called um on the fly uh tunnel sister-in-laws tunnel sister-in-laws uh-huh is tunnel sisters when you fuck the same guy okay tunnel sister-in-laws i like that did they compare
Starting point is 00:15:37 notes yeah which brings me to my second topic okay i mean a little a little questionable but that's what people want to know yeah oh like comparing notes yeah yeah well so they didn't really compare notes so much as i did get a tale um about some my ex used to do this thing that he read in some fucking men's journal that like women love which is like when you're going down on them humming because of the vibration and so one of the girls was saying that they just start humming the the wolf of wall street that is that behavior it's like i read in men's journal yeah well this is how i become a millionaire i do have to say you know progressive to be like i read this thing about how to please
Starting point is 00:16:43 you even more so i'm gonna try it but it's just so standard to like read that and then just take it as fact you know like why but what what this guy would do would actually do that yeah but like he would do other things with his tongue my friend who hooked up with one of the twins say no he would just like like like a vibrator yeah he's just meditating in that pussy it was beautiful i can really reach nirvana if you know what i mean um so one of the twins one of the twins but he wouldn't do and he would just go down there and just hum he wouldn't like use his tongue he would just like put his mouth against her vagina and just and didn't do anything else hello i would tell everybody about that yep yeah and here we are you're telling me right now here
Starting point is 00:17:34 we are she was like i was like i have to bring this up on the podcast that's what happened and um it makes me sad i feel like people should i want people to feel empowered to like give feedback about what they like yeah like I'd be like what is that yeah little thing that you're doing so what's um it's so creative hi question and that's something I love about you is just how creative you are yeah it's so cute that being said but what song is that are you open to not yeah no but to not um yeah the note is to not yeah and not like a knot in your penis i'm tying it much like dromione the omega verse the omega verse dromione um that i've never heard of that the issue with like i understand the impulse to just be like oh my god i was so good
Starting point is 00:18:29 and just move on because i would do that shit all the fucking time because it's like this is not my job to like make you good at what you're doing but also he's gonna keep doing that to the next girl that he goes down on because someone is faking it yeah oh my god and that's how the bible was written yeah yep someone was faking it we know that you fucked someone mary it's okay girly pop girl who are you lying to yeah that is not god's baby unless god is the guy down the street we're all god's children and that was her point which makes nuns incestuous because if we're all god's children then we're all jesus's siblings and that means that nuns are married to their brother thank you wait for attending my ted talk because nuns are like
Starting point is 00:19:17 their whole thing is that they're married to jesus married yeah i thought it was to like follow in his footsteps no they're like all like they're like married to jesus i don't know if i've ever told you this my nana when she had like a hospice help i don't know what that you would call it like just an additional like nurse helping my mom and her siblings with stuff okay um anyways before my mom had met her um she told my mom i think she used to be a nun and then my mom finally met her and she was like she's just like a butch lesbian i love that that's like my nana's like exposure to lesbians is is nuns because they are there are many yeah women who are lesbians who are nuns 100 yeah and maybe they're not what a good way
Starting point is 00:20:18 it's just like what a good way to not have to ever worry about fucking a man aren't aren't we all kind of aspiring nuns at the end of the day i'm like in a relationship with a very loving man i still have so much man slander he gets it yeah he's down with the cause it's it's about specific people yeah not not the the ones that we like right not the normal ones right i'm still of of the mindset that most men are normal i'm of the mindset that most people are normal but there are really there are still really fucking weird people it's the loud minority uh-huh yeah yeah that's that's why it just feels like there's so many of us like we're the silent majority no no you're not no but if I would love if you were
Starting point is 00:21:09 silent um okay so I have a couple of fun topics for you that I am just excited to talk about so the first one is doxypep have you heard of that it's um it's a medication and it's like the day after pill for stis essentially no fucking way um before you get too excited it's really only effective for men who have sex with other men or trans women okay but that's good for them yeah that's great news for them yeah um but it is also uh what's it called an antibiotic so it's not something that you would want to take long term but i think it's just like one of those things if you just like had a crazy night out and you're like yeah i need to cross my t's and dot my i's i'm just gonna pop this pill yeah um i mean that's very promising yeah and it's the
Starting point is 00:22:05 effectiveness is 65 to 70 percent effective and it reduces the risk of chlamydia gonorrhea and syphilis love that yeah so i thought that was really like progressive and cool they've they've done studies on women and um cis men and uh they just weren't as if they weren't effective at all so bummer well maybe one day because that is promising that's that is that's nice that there's like probably there are what is 70 effectiveness is you don't want to like rely on no this obviously yeah but it's a nice barrier i think it's it's like nice peace of mind to have um so get out there guys yes have protected sex but if there's an accident that occurs take some doxy pep ask your doctor not sponsored um and i know was it last episode we were talking
Starting point is 00:23:02 about male birth control uh-huh well there's a new one oh um it's being referred to as the male iud uh it's called adam like adam and eve lame um and it's uh there's a few components i need to tell you so i'll start with just how it works um they put a hydrogel in the vas deferens um which is like a where the where the sperm comes out so it blocks it and then um your body will like naturally absorb it absorb the sperm um because it just dies off and then you absorb it so there's not a risk there it doesn't affect um ejaculation or sensation at all so that's awesome uh and then it is designed to last at least a year and it naturally degrades so you would like go in after like around a year and they would check it with like an ultrasound tool
Starting point is 00:24:05 um to see like if you need to get re-upped on it what the fuck they're doing trials in australia only right now but uh you can sign up like to be part of like clinical trials in other countries when they like start testing in other countries wow uh and this is gonna piss you off i'm already pissed um it is already pre-approved to have local anesthesia are you fucking kidding me no the thing that i was pissed off about before you even told me that was how easy it sounds yeah and it's non-hormonal non-hormonal and you don't have to get it very easy that's like one of the worst parts of having an iud is like the removal and reinsertion well and like the hormonal side effects are awful i mean at least for me when i had an iud
Starting point is 00:24:54 and when i got my iud put in i almost passed out yeah it's awful this isn't my first time talking about this i almost fainted and then my doctor looked at me like i was fucking insane no it's the worst pain and i was like are you kidding me right now that's crazy it's like that they're like when you're giving birth at least your like cervix opens up your body is opening up because that is what it is designed to do yeah but when you're shoving something in there and it's not prepared or in a place to be doing that naturally it's gonna fucking hurt yeah if you've ever had your cervix hit like while having sex or something not a good feeling oh my god it is a painful experience yeah like first of all having an iud inserted i can guarantee it feels a million times
Starting point is 00:25:47 worse than being kicked in the balls and then I would say having your cervix hit probably feels like a solid swift kick in the balls so it's like a nauseating pain yes yeah and the way it sits there for so long oh there have been times where I've had to get a heating pad and just like curl up for a couple hours that is so annoying I know I'm like how is this pre-approved for local anesthetic but then like if you are getting an iud inserted you have to fight tooth and nail for a local anesthetic and for you could get a cervical guard yeah to help even more yeah and then they're like just trying to gaslight you and like i was listening to daniel tosh's podcast um over the weekend and he was talking he was talking about how he was complaining about his
Starting point is 00:26:42 cold and then his wife was like oh i'm sure it's so much worse than the cold that we had last week because because he's just like he's like i need to go to the hospital and she's like he was like it's like the man flu is what they call it and he's like she's not wrong um but he was saying like women have a higher pain tolerance and he genuinely believes that and i think um i believe that yeah because we have to yeah when you have your period every month it is painful but you like get used to it yeah you know right but also like our bodies are like engineered to have babies which is a painful experience so it makes sense we would have evolved to be able to handle pain exactly yeah so so then that's what you're like kind of gaslit
Starting point is 00:27:29 into is just like well women have a higher pain tolerance because of this thing so it should be fine to just like medically abuse them yeah it's which is insane frustrating that's insane i i think i mentioned this to you i had also listened to um like a true crime podcast called the retrievals and it's like a short i think maybe five episode series um where it's a fertility treatment center at oh yeah corn no not cornell uh columbia columbia because i had also listened to another one from harvard um but this one was columbia specifically and one of the fertility treatment nurses was stealing anesthetic for um like people who are getting doing egg retrievals to do IVF or you know have their eggs frozen all of the women who were interviewed were doing IVF
Starting point is 00:28:26 um but she was stealing a anesthetic and replacing it with saline what the fuck like it's an incredibly painful and like physically demanding yeah um experience I'm surprised these women are even awake yeah for it I know they should absolutely be put under and um they finally obviously catch this woman who has been stealing all kinds of painkillers over she alleges six months but it had to have been for several years holy shit um it and then she got a pretty easy sentence because she was like my ex-husband is horrible and abusive so if i am like in prison i can't take care of my kids and there's no one to protect them and then the judges and everyone is like that's so sad and they just like and honestly it's like very
Starting point is 00:29:26 white privilege i was about to say she white yeah she's white to no one's surprise um so she gets like a super light sentence for medically abusing and traumatizing these women and the amount of people who were gaslighting these women into believing it was it was just them and like this is how it's supposed to feel it's so disappointing and they're like this is the max we can give you and she's they're like i'm fully lucid yeah i am completely sober i feel everything and for those of you who don't know like what ivf treatment is it's um you would do like uh you you would have your eggs retrieved so you have to already be taking a bunch of hormones yeah you have to be shooting them into your stomach which is crazy in itself um to like then retrieve as many eggs
Starting point is 00:30:23 as possible so they're scraping these eggs out of you during your ovulation it is just oh god even just thinking about it is makes me like twinge a little bit it's just it's insane to me that there aren't checks in place to make sure that people can't do that like to steal drugs because like you would think that there would be like time stamps on like when everybody would go into the fridge well that was another thing too is like they were just like lax about all of this stuff there it freaks me out how like you there are so many things that they just kind of like are whatever about until there's like a disaster happening like the fucking wall flying off of an alaska airlines flight because like they knew that there was a pressure issue with that plane but
Starting point is 00:31:09 they were like we just won't fly it over the water and that'll be okay and then a fucking the wall blew out and it's like how are we fucking with people's well-being yeah for just to like why are we cutting corners on these things oh yeah it's the same thing with like hospitals it's like don't cut corners because then you it takes one bad apple coming in there and being like i want to steal these drugs and to fuck up a lot of people's lives yeah to be honest i bet she probably could have just taken it and not like replaced it with saline oh well i'm like i'm like just at that point just take it instead of robbing these women of like yeah anesthesia um and then she got her nurse's license like re-admitted or like she was allowed to go back essentially
Starting point is 00:31:59 what the fuck i know and then i think um she then she withdrew so she probably i think that they caught her again um wherever she ended up working next and then there's no way to like verify that um but it's likely that they were like you either need to like give up your nurse's license or like this is gonna be a scene so she volunteered it well good so which indicates she probably relapsed yeah but i don't know it's just i oh and the most fucked up part is this woman also had ivf her children exist because of ivf so she had been through this entire fucking process and held the hands of these women while knowing that they were not being medically treated correctly and like holding their hands looking them in the eye while they're having their eggs
Starting point is 00:33:02 scraped out of their body and the other so the other one the other like true crime podcast that i had listened to um i think that one was the harvard one one was harvard and one was columbia so it's hard to remember which was which but it was a about a gynecologist who had been sexually assaulting women for like 20 fucking years and there were so many different complaints about this man no one did anything and then finally like one woman she had went in and um like after she had given birth and having like everything checked in on and making sure she's like healing okay and whatever and then uh everything's all wrapped up and then he's like oh actually i forgot out to check one thing like once the nurse had left and then um she's like um okay that's
Starting point is 00:33:55 fucking weird like i'm already dressed so then she like gets back on the table in the stirrups and he licks her vagina and she was like what the fuck yeah i think she like reacted i can't remember what she said um and then he seemed like surprised like he got caught what the of course he what he was like oh why would and then she called she like called her husband and she's hysterical and then her husband calls the police good and then they like take him into custody and he calls her and leaves her a voicemail and he's like um i think there was like a misunderstanding and then that was just kind of the tip of the iceberg of all of these stories that started unraveling of all of these women he had sexually assaulted and a lot of them like
Starting point is 00:34:46 um didn't like want to come forward obviously like yeah also a lot of people didn't know because i think it was hard they didn't send out a letter to anybody they didn't notify any of his patients of this thing occurring and um i i something ended up happening where he like wasn't really held accountable like he just had his like medical license revoked but he didn't set he didn't have any prison time um but one of the women who was one of his victims is andrew yang's wife oh shit yeah wow so and that was like they harvard essentially wrote to her like a threatening letter of like if you come forward like we know who you are they implied that they knew that she because she remained an anonymous person in this first lawsuit and then
Starting point is 00:35:45 she is the one who kind of like brought everything to light like all of these women have been fighting tooth and nail for justice after being sexually assaulted by this man a doctor that they trust it's so it's so disappointing it's the the amount like it's so painfully clear how hr departments are for the company and not for the people we've been saying that but like in huge cases like that with like institutions like harvard like and then also bringing it on to like a public stage with like threatening a politician's wife yeah like in writing i would assume like that to have a paper trail like that is bonkers to me the lawyer that was helping these women is like small town lawyer just like a regular guy like working his ass off on this case fuck yeah and um what tied
Starting point is 00:36:50 it all together was this this woman who was living in utah she had moved from the east coast to utah with her husband um so evelyn yang's doing this interview where she like she planned to come forward and tell this story about this doctor and like make it very public and she was like very afraid of like being criticized for this um which is also crazy i know that's like a very real thing that women have to worry about affecting her husband's campaign yeah um but it was it was very well received for the most part um she was very supported but anyways this interview is happening on tv and then this guy says to his wife who at this point in her life i think was in her like 60s um he's like that sounds like the doctor you
Starting point is 00:37:43 had and then she was like wow that she they're watching and then it was the same fucking doctor and she's like i cannot believe that he continued to she was like i feel horrible because he continued to assault these women and she's like I wrote a letter and then she kept everything her and her husband are like hoarders keeps everything old computers every old document she used to be a writer so she kept every single thing she wrote she had written and then she like lets this lawyer or no like this is you know I might have proof that I had written to them with a complaint in the past because they're like we're not we've never received a complaint and she had their response in writing so he flies yeah he flies to Utah and they like go through tons of boxes they
Starting point is 00:38:42 spend hours going through these boxes and finally they find one they find the letter and they're just like cheering and crying um and that was the piece that brought it all together to be able to hold harvard and this man accountable wow so that's a tldr i definitely butchered a lot of it but i highly recommend listening to both of those because i mean you're going to be very upset this is a case this is a case for hoarding yeah at the end of the day exactly this is just a pro hoarding podcast just be very good at note-taking yeah no but that's i'm so i love hearing stories about people like rallying together to take down something that's so evil oh yeah i was like bawling listening to both of them too because i was just like these fucking women like came
Starting point is 00:39:37 together yeah and supported each other and like even when this giant institution was threatening them they like came together they banded together to try and support each other yeah and saw some justice they deserved way more earlier on but and then they yeah it's just the investigative journalism behind this is like really incredible work so yeah i think it deserves to be listened too if you guys are interested um while you were talking three things popped into my head um do you did you ever watch the docu-series uh our father um about the it was a uh fertility doctor that was um putting his own sperm in his patient i heard about this yeah and like all of these people started realizing that they were siblings like when the dna like ancestry was becoming
Starting point is 00:40:32 popular people were realizing like they didn't share dna with their dads well or who they thought was their dad yeah so were these women like doing like ivf or like um artificial insemination yeah and he was doing he was using his own sperm he's dead now looking up to us from hell but a horrible person yeah and he was on trial a few times and got away with it like he got away with what the fuck is wrong with people horrible you should and that's another case of like institutions you should be able to trust these people yes like i just can't imagine like talking to any normal person who would be like oh well that's a bummer yeah i think every normal human being if you told them this story would be like what the actual fuck yeah it's so fucked up it's so violating and
Starting point is 00:41:21 then you're like how how are these like why are we letting these medical institutions get away with shit yeah i'm like so institutions with a lot of money yeah are it's because they have fucking corrupt the best lawyers that's really what it boils down to because they take advantage of people that can't afford like the best lawyers that money can buy and they end up either like settling out of court where nobody ever hears about it or they threaten these people into oblivion which is stupid it's atrocious it really is um the second thing that i was thinking about which is not about medical but about people that you should be able to trust dropping the ball i watched the most infuriating body cam footage yesterday of this woman she's 20 she gets pulled
Starting point is 00:42:11 over in a car that they pulled over expecting to find a man like a big man with tattoos driving the car and they pulled it over and it was this little 20 year old woman driving it and she was drugged out of her mind like she was like very high and she was like crying and like saying like please don't sell me and was like telling them that she's being trafficked like basically like in so few words she's like like i came all the way here from ohio like it's the only place that they can bring girls like me and get away with it like she was like saying all this shit and like the cops were like all right sweetheart and like just ignored it but then they brought her to the hospital because she got in a car accident that's why they ended up pulling her over
Starting point is 00:42:51 just like to check that she was okay and she was screaming and crying and being like don't put me in there like they're gonna give me back to them like don't bring me in there and they were like oh well she's crazy like and it was like all the female hysteria am i right all of the comments on this were like how did they ignore all of this like yeah don't aren't you supposed to like serve and protect yeah you're not doing any of that honestly this is why i just like i i don't even believe in police reform i think it should just be abolished how are you supposed to reform this institution that has historically only hurt people they yeah they are not equipped to handle so much of the shit that they get called for yeah like rapes they don't do anything with sexual assault
Starting point is 00:43:40 really at all because they don't know how to handle it they should be replaced by like first of all people who can actually like medically help um like emts yeah and i think it's disgusting that like emts and ambulances are privatized so they get paid shit money yeah and they are saving lives every single day um it's ridiculous so i think like police can be easily replaced by emts um social workers mental health professionals in this video the body cam footage at one part of the video this woman walks up and she had she was like hi i was just tracking my friend coming here from a family function and it was she was obviously working for the pimp and like making sure that she wasn't like giving information to the police and the girl
Starting point is 00:44:30 that they had pulled over was in the cop car like screaming at the top of her lungs trying to get the cops attention because this woman was very clearly working for her pimp and they just were like ignoring her and it's just like what like what training did you receive to handle any of this very like mainstream issue of human trafficking like that should that like there are police departments with a specific like department of people working on sex traffic work in general right yeah how could you not and the thing like obviously it's like oh it's so much easier from like the comfort of your couch but like immediately right when they pulled her over I was like oh this guy this woman is driving her pimp's car that's why they tried to find that's
Starting point is 00:45:13 why it was another yeah person that they expected to be driving it and she's saying that she's being trafficked like and I have no training literally asking for help yeah like it's just you there are some things that you just simply do not need training for and like that's negligence yeah it's it's just so they either need like way more training or just to be like completely replaced but i just don't really think that it's possible to reform an institution like that they also are they're just one big gang they're all protecting each other they all are like you know doing whatever they can so that one another all keeps their jobs i would love to believe that the police do shit that actually helps people i changed my mind please it's not even like a few
Starting point is 00:46:04 bad apples it's like a few good apples yes isn't that appalling fucked up yeah uh i remember talking to one of our friends and he was like has the cop ever helped you like actually and i was like well i mean one time when i was pulled over like i got that he gave me a parking ticket instead of a speeding ticket because it would have been way more expensive and he's like he's still inconvenienced you though yeah and i was like that's true actually i have not seen there are very whenever i see a video of a cop doing something good like genuinely good not like showboaty good but like like there was a video of this little boy that um got electrocuted on a live wire that was down and the cop like put himself in danger of getting electrocuted to like pull this kid out and like
Starting point is 00:46:50 i was like the fact that i was so shocked and like amazed by this person when it's their job to protect people is a sign yeah that it just does not happen enough we all saw what the cops did like at that school shooting oh my god they're just like damn that's crazy yeah they're like aren't you supposed to be the good guys with the guns uh-huh isn't that your whole argument and then like two weeks later ted cruz was like we just need more cops and it's like you emptied out a bunch of them there three different departments like three different areas of texas like emptied into the school nobody did the issue wasn't not enough cops i think you need to have a degree to be a cop i think you need to go to like six to eight years of school the same way
Starting point is 00:47:40 you do to be a doctor if you want to be a police officer they're just hiring these fucking like 18 year old dipshits yeah who then inherit this like big fish little pond attitude yeah anyways i could complain about cops all day um what i wanted to ask you this is back to the male birth control oh situation when i was telling mr liz about it i i have such like little faith that this would be approved and provided in america um yeah and i mean i i don't know how many people like are aware of this but like if trump is re-elected which terrifying thought it's not unlikely which is awful um he's being heavily funded and influenced by something called project 2025 i don't know um which is run by an extremist like alt-right group called um what is it i wrote
Starting point is 00:48:47 it down but it's some dumb fucking name uh the no the heritage foundation stupid name um and that's what uh the handmaid's tale is based off of is this group no people yeah and they just have a lot of like extremist things that they want to change and in his last um uh what's it called fucking speech rally it was like reign of election what is that term yeah rain that's honestly rain rain is uh in his last term he like uh had done like 75 he had implemented like 75 percent of the requests that they demanded um i know and i just like i i know that other people like us are so frustrated with first of all the two-party group which we were warned would fail and everyone's like that's a later problem by george washington yeah the the original yeah the original
Starting point is 00:49:56 in 1700s so uh but it's just like the republicans do the shitty things that they say they're gonna do yeah like what like why joe biden was just like yeah i'm gonna cancel student debt and he didn't even fucking do that and then they're like oh no yeah this is bad we and you're like get off twitter get off twitter and like be proactive i don't know how are republicans doing all of this shit and you've done nothing yeah well i mean like that we democrats are too nice and a lot of it is about like all just being like loving each other and accepting each other for who we are which is great on paper you know and it absolutely should happen and it is not happening nearly enough but like there are a lot of young democrats that are getting older democrats
Starting point is 00:50:53 away from the cause because of the issues that they're focusing on like they're like oh i don't want to be like yikes like that's they're being they're being crazy like with their blue hair and their tattoos can't keep up with all the pronouns and then like there's like republicans where there's like trump voters that are like fucking bananas bonkers insane and then there's republicans that aren't swayed away from the party because trump voters are almost like their own sect you know oh yeah but like the democratic voters that are like really into like making sure everybody feels included is like a full party thing which is making people be like i don't know i don't really identify with that it's scary it's so scary i just i want to shake everybody and be like
Starting point is 00:51:40 this isn't working yeah i know and everybody knows it's not all of that aside okay with like project 2025 in place like the first thing that's going to go is like um women's reproductive rights like roe versus wade was already overturned yeah i can't tell you how like do you remember when that happened like what you were doing and how you felt i thought it was a lie i was on on tiktok live when it happened and people were like how do you feel about the news and i was like what the fuck is going on what news i've been on tiktok live yeah what were you doing um i was with mr liz like we were watching something uh we might have been watching the bachelor and then i just started like bawling on the couch yeah it was a dark day i mean we're
Starting point is 00:52:27 lucky we live in seattle but also like now is the time to start ordering abortion pills because like the fact that that one woman like was even taken to court for um she had a miscarriage yeah in her home yeah and and like flushed it i just yeah what it's it's insane to me that there are people that don't understand how backward everything is becoming we're moving backward and then there's the other woman who um needed a medically induced abortion because the fetus was inviolable like is already dead i'm assuming i think i don't know i might be wrong um but it she for sure would have died yeah so and then she was like i'm making this public because like i need to fight for other people's rights yeah i need i like she put herself on the front
Starting point is 00:53:32 outlines to try and help other women yeah who are going to be in the same position and um i don't know that's like the first thing that's going to go so then i'm also just like okay there's a non-hormonal effective birth control for men and that the likelihood that that's even going to be allowed here yeah i don't know there's something insidious about the heritage foundation and what they want and it literally is like the handmaid's tale i mean it's horrifying they don't give a fuck about women they just like they don't give a fuck about anyone who isn't a billionaire yeah i'm gonna put on my tinfoil hat and like these groups are being funded by billionaires they only care about money and if they take away your ability to um have an abortion or even have
Starting point is 00:54:26 access to birth control that's gonna be next yeah abortion first birth control is next you are not going to have any birth control yeah um which is fucking so horrifying being forced to have children forces like a labor market like they want people to remain poor yeah because then they will have people who will have to work for them yeah and then they'll still sell you the idea that you just pull yourself up by your bootstraps because that's what this billionaire did yeah that's not what they fucking did it's crazy to me that we've been going through this kind of thing as a country for forever it's and it's like we learned ridiculous we learned nothing from like redlining like yeah we there it's we can't as a country we cannot learn because there are too
Starting point is 00:55:19 many people that are just out for their own interests and those people are the ones that are making decisions it's horrifying it's scary men they don't give a fuck about women they don't give a fuck about the baby once it's born no at all which i mean if you need evidence just look at literally everything else that they are voting on yeah it's so scary well and exhausting i saw something that was like it is wild to be alive during a time where a group of people um will force you to have a child um and they like they're pro-life and they still will vote on things that don't protect children from being shot in school right so like you don't you don't give a fuck yeah yeah there are so many other things you you should be doing to prove that
Starting point is 00:56:26 you do give a fuck yeah like yeah first of all paying teachers more but another tinfoil hat theory i have is that they just don't want people to be educated they don't want people to be educated they don't want them like you're militarized when you're in school because you are learning to follow a work schedule yeah essentially um and to be obedient the fact that everyone has to stand up and say the pledge of allegiance every day it's such a scary thing it's insane yeah i forgot we did that isn't that a scary thing to think about like everybody knows the pledge of allegiance and they made you had to do it every single day with your hand over your heart i think as a catholic i was like this is a catholic thing yeah i have to memorize something
Starting point is 00:57:13 that i don't understand or give a fuck about bring my rosary for this yeah what is this shift quick shift yeah this conversation really derailed it really did i wasn't planning on you know having a speech about there was a whole other topic i didn't even get to oh well small small topic since today was the day that that day that we're recording was the day that the oscar noms came out and greta gerwig and margot robbie got snubbed i saw that ryan gosling got nominated like did they even get the point ferreira right no did you get the point like did you watch it and the fact that barbie was nominated for best movie but like greta gerwig and margot robbie and america ferreira were not yeah right i'm pretty sure america ferreira was oh she was i think she was but
Starting point is 00:58:03 like yeah it's ridiculous and everybody's mad about it like this needs to be the year of the girl i hope that people listening to this are amped up enough by the end to just keep like i want to give up so badly but like don't yeah it's the year of the girl we need to rally yeah i feel like the theme of this episode though has been like women supporting each other because nobody else will yeah like i yeah i would agree with that right like the woman that's like you know her she needs like a an emergency abortion and so she's going putting herself on the front lines to spread awareness for other women the gynecologist at Columbia or Harvard like it's just there we all all we have is each other so I like I constantly think about this like
Starting point is 00:59:02 how women are forced into this submissive role in a patriarchy because that's what patriarchy is um and just i i want women to recognize the power that they do have you have so much power especially like the ability to have children that is why yeah the right and the patriarchy are so fucking afraid of you having autonomy over your own body because you are the decision maker yeah you are the thing that everyone needs and is relying on for a future and to them a labor market like yeah yeah i just like you have so much power and you should just like recognize that like you are the you are everything like you're the reason yeah and um that's also another reason like you shouldn't be wasting your time with some dickhead yeah
Starting point is 01:00:02 dump him yeah he's a fucking idiot you are so powerful and you don't even recognize it and i just want like that is like what i mean when i mean like 2024 is the year of the girl and i really want it to be you know yeah i just want other people to recognize how much power they have and how powerful they are and can be yes you know what i mean absolutely it's like you have the ability to have children that's fucking insane i it's a it's you make a whole person what we're able to do with our bodies as women and we're treated as such like weak little creatures well and then even trans women like i see so much more outrage about trans women existing than trans men because it's so easy to dismiss like oh well trans men are just tomboys
Starting point is 01:00:56 yep who like didn't grow up it's just a phase and like it's not as appalling like it's it's appalling to them to be born a man and want to transition to being a woman that is embarrassing to them that's like just so egregious and disgusting because they don't respect women they don't care about them so just like the fact that you are born male yeah and you want to transition to being a woman like is appalling there must be something wrong and you know what I have also we've recorded for a while longer than usual something that I have been thinking about a lot that I was talking to Mr. Liz about I was like what is kind of wild to me is how men have this performative disgust of women's interests it's it's it's performative in front
Starting point is 01:01:52 of women exclusively yeah like men aren't gonna get together and be like i fucking hate taylor swift yeah they're they're doing it specifically in front of women to make you feel bad and ashamed and embarrassed damn of the things that you care about because they want to make sure you know it's embarrassing and belittling to be a woman like fuck it's that's such a good point well and he like he was the one who I was like why do they do that and he was like because they don't respect women and they want you to like feel bad and it is really reassuring to have a man in my life who I'm in a relationship with who like is going to advocate for me absolutely and can recognize these things yeah i mean too often like there are just things that are spoken about that
Starting point is 01:02:43 are like female coded that are like seen as weak like like running like a girl yeah or screaming like a girl like just all of these things that are like negatively connotated not understand women's rage if that's what you think it's like i describe feminine rage as something that starts as a simmer and turns into a rolling boil it's not this petulant outburst yeah it's this growing heat inside of you yeah and at any moment you feel like it's going to break you yeah that's what feminine rage feels like i also think it's really frustrating that men who do support women other men are like you're just white knighting yeah oh my god yes i'm like no actually yeah a lot of people they don't do things to appease women and to just like try and like
Starting point is 01:03:43 get laid yeah i mean they'll just do whatever they can to explain away yeah somebody trying to support why are you so mad about that why are you so mad that another man like cares about the woman that he is with well it's like his sister or his mom it is threatening the like idea that like men are the only ones that matter you know when they have other men being like oh actually no we aren't the only ones that matter it's scary for them and it's another like example of performative disgust yeah like you're only doing this because other women can see it you're only trying to make this other man feel like less of a man that doesn't make any sense yeah it's because they don't they don't feel like men themselves and so they have to bring down i don't know
Starting point is 01:04:30 it's and i would love to be able to get to the root of that and then it's just like like the men who are also up in arms about that are like up in arms about like the male suicide rate and it's like you're the one with the ideology who is facilitating that in the first place yeah you just like settle down a little bit use your noggin back to last last episode it's not that serious it's just really not that serious i don't know this has been a heated i know i'm so tired now dude this has been an exhausting i don't know if i got everyone else as amped up as i um all right well thanks for listening we we love love you our children that one was creative that was i love it beautiful i feel inspired
Starting point is 01:05:38 Oh, yeah.
