How about this video of Michael Jordan pinching the kid on the ass? Do I think MJ is some sort of creep? No. But, it's odd. Speaking of odd, how about Buffalo Bill saying that "Silence Of The Lambs" has some really regrettable scenes? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How about Michael Jordan playing with that kid's ass? That was also very strange. That's something that is certainly, in the era of Epstein, that's certainly a strange move. Like I was watching that this morning. I didn't see it when it happened because I'm not, you know, going to be watching celebrations over the Daytona 500. But Michael Jordan with the kid, very strange.

So, um, let's see Tyler Reddick So was it Tyler Reddick who won the Daytona 500 Right? And I know nothing about the Daytona 500 Or anybody that's in racing or anything I truly don't have a clue Tyler Reddick had no interest in revisiting

The viral Victory Lane moment involving his son And Michael Jordan With a member of his team shutting down the question Before it got off the ground With the controversy still swirling on social media TMZ Sports asked NASCAR star directly on Tuesday about the interaction involving a six-year-old son, Bo, and MJ following the Daytona 500 victory.

But his camp immediately deflected. Like, what exactly are they going to say? Like, what, like, Michael Jordan's like the guy that owns the car, I guess, right? Is that how this works? He's like the guy that owns the shit. So he co-owns Reddick's team 2311, 23X1, 23, whatever the hell it is, racing, appearing to playfully grab or tap the child during a chaotic celebration. I mean, he's grabbing the kid's ass.

What the hell's the guy going to say like? It's Michael fucking Jordan. What's he going to say like, hey, stop finger popping my kid's asshole? Like, what's he going to tell the media? The guy that's like the guy that runs his team. Social media lit up with debate over the interaction with some users calling it awkward while others defending it as harmless amid the confetti-filled frenzy. Jordan hasn't publicly commented on the matter.

Let me see. Let me watch the video of this again. Let's see some... I mean, what does he do? Like, it's awkward. But, like, I think, like, it's harmless. Right? Like, I'm watching this.

Like, I think it's harmless. That's what I think we're dealing with. The hell is coming through my headphones here. Hold on. The hell is that? Something's bleeding through. Is this something from TMZ sports? Okay.

So this has to be coming. from somewhere on the TMZ website. Hold on. There it is. There we go. Sorry, everyone. TMZ was bleeding through. I normally don't do anything at my home studio.

I say my home studio. It's a fucking bedroom with a bunch of clothes in it to deflect sound. But anyway. So, yeah, it was awkward, especially in the Epstein era. We're in the hashtag Epstein era here, and we're, you know, we're grabbing kids on the ass. But I think it's harmless.

In fact, I know it's harmless. Like, do I really, like, like, again, do I think that Michael Jordan is a fucking child predator? And the correct answer is no. I don't believe that Michael, Michael Jordan gets so much fucking pussy. Why the fuck does he have to finger pop some kid's asshole like he's a Catholic priest?

Like, what the fuck would Michael Jordan have to do? Like, the idea that, like, Michael Jordan is some child predator here. Christ. It's awkward. I mean, it's certainly awkward. I was reading a story today here in Detroit. So one of the suburbs here, Dearborn, the home of Ford, Dearborn had, they've severed ties with Life Touch.

And Life Touch, many of you will remember, is the company that takes all the school pictures, Life Touch, you know? And they severed ties because some guy who was at one point an investor in Life Touch was in the Epstein Files, like 8,200 times or some shit. So now they've severed ties with LifeTouch because of, you know, being linked to diddling,

which they're not, by the way. Like LifeTouch is not like a, like it's some random dude that was an investor. And I'm going to guess that if we were, you know, you know, trying to cancel businesses because some big money investor might be a didler or at least is linked to didlin, every business would shut the fuck down.

Because it seems like a lot of the people that have the money, just also happen to be just, you know, predators. But apparently, they were not happy about this, and they just decided to preemptively sever ties, which I think is kind of an overreaction, not even kind of an overreaction, it is an overreaction, because some guy that was an investor in the company,

just some guy that funneled some cash into it, happened to be in the Epstein files, which again, very well may be a predator, but that doesn't mean that all the people at Life Touch are predators. Speaking of predators, we're just rattling shit off. I enjoy the story of Silence of the Lambs of Ted Levine, who plays Buffalo Bill,

who's now like retroactively ashamed of the way that Buffalo Bill was portrayed in Silence of the Lambs. So it's bad for trans people, and it's a bad representation of trans people. And I'm like, I don't think anybody watch Silence of the Lambs and was like, holy shit, people who are trans or gay are just fucking psychos that throw fat women into the van. and starve them and then take their skin and make a suit.

Like I never watched that and thought, hey, this person's trans. I always watched Silence of the Lambs and was like, this guy's a fucking weirdo, but I never thought, oh, he's trans. You know, it's actually worse for trans people in their representation than Buffalo Bill.

This trans guy that, you know, shot up the hockey rink because his wife was divorcing him because, you know, he was getting a sex change or whatever the story was. I think that's worse. for trans people than you know Buffalo Bill do we really want to get into the business of going back

well after the fact and being ashamed of what was in movies like it's one thing to kind of make fun of it and go like boy that's that didn't age well you know like when Lewis Skullnick fucks Betty Childs in the in the bounce house in Revenge of the Nerds like yes if you look at it in a literal sense my man basically raped

Betty Chouts or at least had sex with her. She didn't have the knowledge that it was Lewis Skullnick. Although you would think if she banged her boyfriend Stan Gable as often as she is purported to have. She would have felt that, hey, maybe this guy that's in the fucking bounce house isn't my boyfriend, but she fucked him anyway, whatever. You can also argue it's kind of on her to fuck some dude randomly in the dark, right? But we can't look at it that way.

If we're going to look at it literally, it's, well, this guy probably violated this woman. and all these nerds put the cameras in the frat house in the sorority house so they can look at Bush, pan down. Again, it's not shit you would actually do. But I could see if you made jokes about it and were like, boy, that didn't age well. To have serious discussions about the shit that was in 80s movies, though, I think we've gone a little far. Can you believe that that gal fucked that wolf and teen wolf? I mean, look, if we're getting technical, we had some bestiality going on. If we're getting technical, what we witnessed in Teen Wolf,

because I'm going to assume that he stayed the fucking wolf when they were banging, right? The blonde chick, remember the scene whenever they're, you know, she's got him at the play, and they're in the play together, and they're behind the scenes, and she's in her underpants, and, you know, they bang in the back, like, and he howled. He must have turned into the wolf. I don't know if ejaculating turns him into the wolf or not. I don't know if that's one of the things that, you know, gets him into wolf mode. but basically this woman

fucked a wolf if we're getting technical but who cares and now we're sitting here like retroactively a shame that we made Silence of the Lambs which is widely regarded as one of the best movies ever and I don't think people sit there and watch that movie and go boy trans people

are fucking nuts I think you're more likely to see someone say trans people are fucking nuts when they shoot up a hockey rink now again I'm not saying that like you're just nuts if you're trans or whatever. I don't give a shit. And I don't think you're predisposed to shooting up a fucking hockey rink

if you happen to be trans or whatever, gay or whatever. I don't give a shit. What I'm saying is, how is it then when it's a negative representation in a movie, allegedly, we turn it into this is horrible. But when it's something in real life,

we ignore it. I'm not saying that we should base everything we believe on trans, gay, black, white, whatever, based on the worst things that fucking happen. But somehow in a movie, in Silence of the Lambs, we have to sit around and be like, whoa, whoa, that's a bad representation. That did not do well for the culture, the transgender, the LGBTQ, the queer culture.

That was bad for the culture, and it was an embarrassing representation, and it was regrettable, I think, as a word they use, regrettable. Yet, there's a dude that's getting a sex change, so his wife's divorcing him, which I think is a fair move, shoots up the fucking hockey rink and it's like crickets. We hear nothing about it. So that's not bad for the culture. That's not bad for trans culture. But silence of the lambs,

but Buffalo Bill is. We don't even know that Buffalo Bill is trans. We know he's got a dick. He tucks it back. So at no point I don't believe, and I could be wrong here, but I don't believe they portrayed him as trans. They just portrayed him as like fucked up.

But now we're apologizing for them. So does it just mean that Robert England has to come out and apologize that Freddie Krueger was a child molester? Like, what do we have to do now? Like, this is what we're doing now. We're apologizing on behalf. Let us not forget that Buffalo Bill was a murderer. And that Buffalo Bill, like, captured Homegirl and kept her in the basement.

Loved his dog, though. I mean, he's an animal lover, so that's good. See, I think that's how we should have looked at it. See, everybody wants to look at the negative. Like, oh, trans people are portrayed, poor. I'd argue for looking for any sort of portrayal. Trans people are portrayed as wonderful dog parents. That's how we should view them.

That's how I would choose to view them in Silence of the Lambs. Wonderful dog parents. That motherfucker loves that dog. That's how we should be viewing this. Yeah. I was also reading some. I didn't read this whole story because it just seemed like a story that was pointless. But it was something about how great it is that there's so much

queer representation at the Olympics, like for women's athletes? Like, is this some new development that there are women's athletes that are gay? The only people that give a shit about identity politics are the people whose identity it is. Like, I'm a straight white dude, right? I like ladies, and I like to watch dudes and ladies get it on. I don't even like to watch ladies and ladies getting on. It doesn't even do anything for me. I like a dude with a penis making love to a lady with a vagina.

That's what turns me on. That's what revs my engine. That's what gets me going. Right. That's what I'm into. I at no point care if someone is gay. The only person that cares if they are gay is the gay person, is the queer person, is the transgender person.

Most people don't give a fuck. I know a lot of people who are right-winged. I know right-wing dudes whose kids are gay. They are-they are dudes who are conservative who have gay kids. And they do not give a shit. The only time anyone gives a shit about what you are sexually is you. And part of that is because we still have to create this world where like there has to be some boogeyman that's out to try to stop you from sucking all the hogs you want or munching rug or whatever the hell it is you want to do. Doing gay shit, whatever you want to do.

Do all the gay shit. Embrace the gay shit. Do all the gay shit you want to do. No one's trying to stop you. Might there be some people that are fucking weirdos about it? Sure. But most people don't give a shit. but it remains a story all the time.

Like we hear about this nonstop. It's just like reading a story in USA Today. Of course that's where it is USA Today. But the story is like, it's just great that we have a great representation of queer athletes. It's lady athletes. I don't have the data in front of me, but I'm guessing that there is a large portion of lady athletes

that have always been gay. That's not new. This is not some new development. Hey, breaking news, guys, Lady athletes are gay. Many of them are. And no one cares. But it's like we have to keep pushing identity, identity, identity, race, sexual orientation, sexual preference.

We have to keep pushing this shit because without it, so many people have nothing to go on. They have nothing to operate on. So what do you do? You keep pushing. Boy, it's so great that all these gay people are, like what may, like, and I mean this respectfully. Because I have a ton of, I have at least a good number of gay friends. I am far from anti-gay. You guys know this.

If you've listened to this podcast at all, I am not anti-gay, whatever. The fact I have to preface that's fucking ridiculous, but I'm not anti-gay. But the fact that you're gay should not make you a special human being compared to everybody else. How about we write a story?

Boy, great, here at the Olympic Village, there are straight people and they are fucking, which, by the way, was a story. Apparently they ran out of condoms or something again, which apparently what goes down at the Olympics is people just fuck. There's testosterone. There's good fit people,

like sexy fit people, and they fuck at the Olympics. Good for them. But who gives a shit? The only people who really give a shit about race, sexual orientation, whatever, are liberal media people

who keep pushing this because they have to pander to these people. And I think that puts in the minds of people, it makes them a special group. I mean this respectfully. I like a lot of gay people. people. You are not special because you fuck dudes or you fuck chicks. Just like I'm not special because I, you know, fuck chicks. I'm not special because of that. There's nothing unique about it.

Now, if you tell me that like you fuck ghosts or something, that's special. You deserve your own category. But dudes fucking dudes, chicks, chicks fucking chicks, dudes, fuckin' chicks. Who gives a shit? Everybody spreads this myth, this idea that we need to operate in a world where, you know, I can't wait till there's one day where we don't see color, that we don't see sexual. Bullshit, that's what you want. You want that because otherwise you have nothing.

Too many people are depicted by their race, by their sexual preference. So who gives a fuck? I don't give a fuck. I could not care less. And most people don't. But we've convinced all these different oppressed groups of people that their entire being is their race or their sexual preference.

We've convinced them of this. So then when you're someone who's like, I don't give a shit that you're gay, oh, really? Like, the fact that you're a dude and you blow other dudes does not make you special. Like, good for you. Blow all the dudes you want.

I ain't trying to stop you. Get married. Blow dudes, do everything you want to do. I don't care. But, like, now we're, like, supposed to operate in this world where if you're black, Hispanic, lady, a lady black Hispanic, a gay lady man, whatever, that makes you somehow some sort of special category.

Well, all under the guys of saying, we just want to be treated like everybody else? I don't think you do. I don't know that many of these people do. To be fair, I think most of them do. There's tons of gay people out there that you never hear walking around telling you how gay they are all the time. But there are certain people that fall into this world where like the celebrities and the politicians tell you that they're special and that they're oppressed and shit.

And so some will ride with it. Many just sit around and don't give a shit. That was a totally random discussion there that all started with Buffalo Bill, being offensive. Anyway, more to come.
