Thank you, Adam. Disgusting hawk with Jessica Carlson as well. Is it a Is it a Potter YouTube show? It's a podcast, but I do characters. I dress up like different characters and interview comedians, and we can find that on your Wi-Fi channel YouTube channel. Yeah. All right. In live dates coming up all over the place. Yeah, by the way, I'm a traveling clown. That's what I call myself. How long you been traveling and clowning? Since 99. So I'm in my 23rd year. And what? What time are we in in stand-up right now if you were to give it a? I always think about like. Well, there's a nightmare as the heavyweight division of boxing and Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier and Joe Foreman like, Oh, I mean, George Foreman, you know, those are the halcyon days. And then we get into the mid 80s and it's kind of flattens out. And remember, though, Seinfeld, the comedy and know all these same names like Where do you think we're at now? I don't know. I mean, I'm I'm I'm keeping like, true to who I am, and I really fight it, and I'm not going to let anyone silence me. I f**king speak my truth, and I'm very real on stage. I've said so many things on podcasts that I could be ruined for. So I figure I should just go for it and penny in for a pound. What? And for a penny in? For a pound? Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm in. So I just say whatever I want and I I got into stand up to be free and to not be silenced. Silence. I was told to be quiet my whole life. My mother is a therapist and saw clients in the house, so I thought, Oh, my insights to my whole life. So insane is that so yeah. Yeah, I I just I, you know, it's it's an a crazy place. It really is. I think most people want you to just be free and say whatever you want and very sane. You know, a very small majority want to tell us what we can and can't say. Well, it's like you. All you need is one sniper to freak out the entire village. Exactly, you know what I mean? And that's kind of where we're living. And also, I was just interviewing a professor earlier today for another podcast, and he's he's a college professor economics. But you know, I said to him, like, how are kids today versus your students from 30 years ago or whatever? And he kind of went like he was like looked over his shoulder, like he was scared. They were gonna say something about the miserable little pieces of s**t self-entitled and coming to his class now versus the one from 30, 30 years ago. But you can tell people pause. Yeah. They go, You know, I'd love to come on your podcast and talk. But yeah. And I thought, really, that we want to be in 2022. You want people with ideas. Got her? Yeah, yeah, it's really. It's hard. I don't I don't like being told what I'm saying. I don't like being told that I'm saying something. I'm not. I also know that as a standup, I'm always coming from a kind, loving place like I'm never coming from a hateful place. See, I do characters also, so I'll do a character and someone will tell me like they think the character is is mean spirited or racist. I'm like, It's a character like, I do characters. I know it's amazing. I'm like, I'm doing a character. We could have Archie Bunker anymore. People are like, We don't like him. Yeah, that's the joke. He's the butt of the joke. Meat head wins the battles. Oh, you don't have to tell earnestly, bigot over here. That's my character you came up with. Oh, that's funny, huh? Yeah, so good. I'm I'm with you in this. I have been saying into any microphone I can find over the past several years, you're a comedian. You get to say what you want. And once they get the comedians into the corral, they got everybody. Yeah, I mean, there are people where I watch their set and I'm like, You're a horrific person, disgusting and whatever, and I don't want to watch it. But I still believe Adam. No, I know, but I still believe that they have the right to say what they want. I still believe it because I believe in the freedom of speech. I'm working on a documentary right now about female comics around the world. I made one for Hulu. I was on effects and now it's on Hulu. I executive produced called hysterical and and thank you to my wife and the rare movie and my wife and I watch together. Enjoy. Oh, you liked it? Really good? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's a lot of comics and they're probably been on this. I would say it suggests that the future comedy is really strong. There's a lot of great comics on. Yeah, yeah. And I made that movie, and I'm making one now, and I interviewed a lot of during COVID like 10 comics from around the world, the only female comic in Jordan, you know, from from all over and they literally have to government has to go to their shows. They have to sign paperwork they have. They can't talk about the government, the royal family. They can't curse, they can't talk about sex. And so it's like we take for granted how f**king important it is, how free we are here and how free we are as comics that we can talk about whatever we want. I mean, I really saw that when I interviewed these female comics from all over the world, it was unbelievable. Well, the a*****es that live here have this f**ked up version of life. It's the same one, same relationship they have with communism or socialism. They go, Look, what's going on in Jordan is wrong, but maybe just some of it here, maybe just the stuff we, you know, maybe just a bit of it here that it's like, Yeah, really? Think that's a good idea to start once you start heading down that road, you know, a little bit of vetting what we say before, before we say it. I still, yeah, I mean, I still might not like it might make me sick and I might hate what they're what some people are saying. But but where do you? I mean, you can't care with comedy. You can't. You can't tell people what they can and can't say. I'm sorry. I don't. I just can't. To me, it's a non sequitur. Like the comedian is saying something. I disagree. Right? The comedians, I don't know if what the guy you know, they start off with some story about having some brother who was a bully and whatever. I don't know if it happened or not. Maybe, maybe, maybe that's what they think. Maybe that's what they don't think. Maybe they f**king bought that joke from Jeff Ross. Maybe that's what Jeff Ross thinks. I know. You know what I mean? When people say to me, You shouldn't talk you, you can't talk. I'm like, Don't tell me what I can and can say. Don't tell me I. Who are you to tell me what I can talk about on stage? Don't you also step back a few feet? Is this really what you want? You want comedians editing themselves as they think about their next, their next bit and comedians you haven't heard of until somebody else tweeted about them wasn't in your wheelhouse. It wasn't like I was a big fan, but that joke freaked me out. I got it. Whatever this is like, who is this? So I don't know their name. Well, let me get it. Let me let me pile on what makes them think they're that important, do they? I, you know, it's really sick that they really think that will consider it. That's the most f**ked up part. Well, I'm sick to someone need to be my luck. Unfortunately, there are many cases of if you want to live in this ecosystem, known as Hollywood and you'd like to, you know, be on Netflix or HBO or whatever, there's a fair bit of having to conform. We've seen many, many, many examples of people being removed from their livelihood, but I have two great examples for the new. Oh, you do. Oh, good. I can. Oh boy. Wait, so the problem is, is it's basically Hollywood. Hollywood and China are basically the same thing, which is essentially Nike's in China. LeBron James has to talk up China. He can't say what he feels about China. There's lots of human rights abuses going on every 10 seconds in China. But what are we going to do? We're going to take the patch off of Tom Cruise's jacket. That had do was it was the Taiwan, the Taiwanese fashion show. So what China does to Hollywood is what Hollywood does to free thinkers like you better watch yourself. We cut checks here and you're going to remove yourself from that payday and all the it's it's ironic that they're kissing China's a*s while essentially doing a version of that with people that get deplatformed because of whatever they may have said that they disagreed with. Yeah. Oh boy, I really want to get a show on Netflix. I don't know what to say. Well, you're a lesbian, right? Yeah, I have a better chance of a lesbian and I'm heavy. Oh, is heavy a thing now? I don't know. I mean, I think they'll be nicer. Hold on. You're not heavy. Sorry, I had the wrong answer. Should I? I know you. I'm surprised. You can tell. I can't. I thought it was part of your act. Actually, I'm wearing padding. Oh yeah. All right. Wear padding just so I can. You know, people can feel sorry for yourself. I have lost a ton of weight, but I keep some weight on so I don't get assaulted. You can't say that joke. Yes, I can. Not on this one. We said their plan. We have men. I didn't want to be an appropriate appropriately. Have you lost weight? Oh my Adam, Google me. I'm like Zillow. I was f**kin and I was like seven people. I really haven't been able to fit in your f**king door. You would have had to put like like oil on each side of me. I'm I'm not getting how much weight. It was enormous. How much weight of your loss? I've lost about 120 pounds. Wow. I kept it off for eight years. I'm still losing weight. I've lost even like 20 recently. Yeah, I'm really doing well. I was I was very large. How are you lose in the weight? I don't eat like sugar or flour, or I eat like brown rice, sweet potato. I eat. No, no. I don't eat a lot of very low fat. I've been exercising, really, just taking care of myself. I know it's it's so hard. I mean, on the road is, Oh my god. So I have to bring like a cooler with me. I want to kill myself. It's horrible. The road is well, first off, you don't travel with Mike Augusts because I travel with a man by the name of Mike August, who, by the way, is a coaster splitter. He came in and brought that Bill Maher water yesterday and split two coasters with he had one on the right. One on the left is a coaster splitter. Never seen that in my life, but that should be a new term for all who don't follow the rules as a coaster went in between two coasters. But I come off of stage off the stage in his back there, and he's ordered sliders and chicken fingers, you know, in french fries. And now it's there. And you got an hour and 20 minutes in between. You're just sitting there staring at it. What's wrong with one four five, the little ranch dressing? That's so good. Yes. Yeah. No. I just I can do. I think I mean, I've been doing it for a while now, so it's much easier. But I'm an animal and I don't even chew anymore. I literally f**k my face with food. I should start an only fans and just f**k my face off. I think a lot of men would watch me. The thing? Just my head. You know what I'm saying? And just f**k my face with food. Yeah, like I cut. I'm not. I've never cut my wrists, but I've cut my mouth on the inside with chips like I'm a cutter on the inside. f**k, and I f**ked my like seriously. Like I, I make sounds like there's blood. It's f**king insane, is it? I also kind of realize that the road is as a little form of trauma in that it's very traumatic. I've always said, why is it that I can go all day without eating? But if I get up at five fifteen and I'm hustling the airport, I'm like, I need f**king bacon. I created, I need and I realize I'm traumatized. I would normally be sleeping at this point, but I'm from I want my huggy book. I want. I want my safe room. I want a pad. So I'll have three bagels because I'm very traumatized, so I have to travel. So you get up really early. You kind of jostle your system, then it's the whole airplane with the getting yelled at with the mask in the club, and it's the nerves and the performance and everything. And the next day you're like, I don't like f**king celery stalks. I need something to feel I deserve. Well, you're already f**ked up. Yeah, it's like, Yeah, yeah. So the road is is tough. And after the show, it's you get that high and you know, everyone's clapping and it's great and then you go back. The hotel, it's so empty, you know, because my mother never held me, it's a lie. And then I just want to feed my son, it's bad. Your mom was a therapist who work from the home. Yes, she saw clients in the basement and I had to be quiet every day. I was like Anne Frank because I was Jewish and I lived in the attic. This is not a lie. I swear on my life. I lived in the attic and I had to be quiet. And she saw clients in the basement. And Zach Braff is my stepbrother from Scrubs. Really? Yeah, and we all he grew up in the house starting at like nine, and we all used to like, just listen to the sessions. It was insane. In the past, yeah. And then we, the clients would come and she didn't have a phone and then they would be waiting for her and she would always be late and I'd have to, like, take care of them and explain to them like she'll be home soon. And would you ever, you know, interrupt the session by getting a load of laundry or to interrupt the session because I had to get in contact with her? There was no way to like contact her outside like mom's like, What do you want? Like, she would get enraged with me, like she'd be on phone sessions and be like, Could you hold, please? Well, I'm on a shoestring and then get back on and be like, Oh, so your anger is really catching up with you like it was. Do you remember est yeah, I went to EST at eight years old. I haven't thought about that in a million years. Werner, Earhart, it's f**king AI. It's this guy who was like a guru who ran these courses. It was insane as like a cult. And my mother was a seminar leader. Oh my God. When I had to go at eight years old like her and all her therapist, friends, kids went and they went around with a microphone and I wasn't speaking. And they're like, What's your issue? And I'm like, Well, my parents fought a lot and they really don't like each other. I don't know. And the next thing you know, I was walking on a stage with a huge sign that said, Victim, oh my god. I mean, no wonder why I blew up and f**king became a clown. It's why f**k. Yeah, I fumble. It f**ks me. But yeah, oh yeah. Yeah. Either you have a donut in my a*****e, right? I'm a mess. It says that it was full of mind control, verbal abuse and sleep deprivation. I mean, look, look now you wonder why box? I mean, I'm a mess. It was. It was kind of weird. Scientology in a weird way, kind of before that probably 70s, late 60s, the one that was kind of situated up the central coast. I don't know. It's everywhere, and now it's the landmark. Oh, I yeah, I did that too in the World Trade Center. And look, what happened. Oh, if they had a lot of like primal scream therapies and a lot of this, they basically treated your your inner angst and pain like it was a carbuncle that needed to be lanced. You know, just get it all out, right? Just get it out and get over your story. You just pound that pillow and scream. I counted pillows. Here's where my mother gave me a wiffle bat and would bring a pillow in the room. I'll be like, Get out your anger. It was all towards her, you know? One of the biggest selling items from 1972 was called the Buttercup Bat. Yeah. Oh yeah. So it's a padded sword. You can get all. I'm so mad at you. It's like I'm nine. I'm your neighbor. I will die. Parodied in The Simpsons. Yeah, pulled this off. Yeah, yeah, because all The Simpsons guys lived through that that year of this whole thing is this you could just punch more stuff. You wouldn't be so angry like Mike Tyson. He got it all out of the system, you know what I mean? Yeah, they they still do that now. They get a lot of therapists do that now. They still do the pounding the pillow with the bat and all that s**t. It's big now. Did your mom? My mom had a biorhythms whale. She's a scientist who didn't like to see a lot of. Well, my mom had me. She used this thing. You know, I'd be like, Could I get a ride to tell you to Lewis's house in Manhattan? Let me consult the whale. Oh my god. Oh, extra critical day. I don't think it'd be a good idea to start the car. It's too critical. Yeah, that's amazing. This is Chris brought it in. It's it's a biorhythms. Oh my God. The whale birth control holder. Birth control pill holder. So days of the this between the science of the bio rhythm wheel and the devil's triangle. So much science going on as you can be. Yeah, yeah, we can't go to Bermuda. The power as the devil's triangle having an extra critical that oh, more science. Oh oh, so yeah. So your mom? Yeah, she was an art therapist, so she had to draw pictures of my feelings. Then she'd analyze that it's a lying. It's a lot. You feel tricked. Like she was allowing you to be vulnerable, then kind of punished you for it. I was enraged. I mean, can you imagine like I would just have a feeling like I was upset the love boat didn't come on and she'd be like, Let's draw your family. I mean, it was the love boat. Me too. I would. I would masturbate to it. It was like soft porn. Yeah, I was. Well, tell a kid to me, it was as fan, so it would be the Love Boat and Fantasy Island. Oh yeah, come on. But to me, the love boat was as fantastical as Fantasy Island because people owned luggage and they had a suit and they bought a ticket. And they're with their family and they're enjoying themselves working. And then it came time for the dinner and the guy's got a tuxedo and he's having a highball. What? What is this? Yeah, yeah, it is incredible. Yes. And there was tension, sexual tension with some of that. Yeah, a lot of tension. Yeah. Dr. Bricker tried flying everybody out on that ship. And so I don't know what was this period, which is parents sort of needing to analyze or graph things on to their kids. Like I got kids. And when they were nine eight and had no impulses about, Look, I need you to draw something and then I'm going to I'm going to break it down from a psychodynamic standpoint, and we're going to break off into discussion groups and invite some other adults over to analyze this and put it on the refrigerator and keep walking. What? What is this? My will and this therapy and we'll stuff that was it's all in you. Like, where? Where did all this? It was such a 70's thing. It was huge then. I don't know. I mean, I really got it because my mom, a therapist, right? I mean, I still do. She's like, she does reiki on me, sometimes without asking because she's a reiki master. So I just like, feel her hands. Come on me and know you're going. I'm like, Mom, you're psychologically molesting me. Like, You're literally you're you're molesting me with your psychology. You need to ask me first before you just start doing reiki on me and you're like in your refractory period from the face, f**king. And now she shows up at the reiki space filings by famous. Yeah, it's she's always it comes from a good place because she's always trying to fix me. But that's the problem. Like, I always feel like I need to be fixed when I'm just having a feeling I didn't realize struck broken me a lot. Yeah. Because, yeah, yeah. I mean, you think we're crazy now, but we were crazy then. Oh, I'm doing it. But it was just kind of analog crazy. You have a wheel, you turn it, you consulted the wheel thing is making me laugh. What is the definition of the bio rhythm wheel crush? But but now we're digitally crazy and I was texting. I think this is what this is. I think this is a lot worse for digital s**t. Well, I'll tell you what it is is if you have a sane family who lives next door, they don't have to do all the bulls**t we did. That's our f**king bulls**t, mom. But now it's like everyone's in the tent. Yeah, the crazy. Now we all sold the buyer rhythm wheel. Yeah, right down to like the WebMD and diagnosing yourself. That's what I'm saying. The Googling and the. Forget it. We've come full circle because there's not buy a rhythm. Perhaps there's a viral rap. Oh, don't tell my mom chocolate peanut butter jitterbug fired up. Check her blog. What is what is the definition of the biorhythms? Well, so the biorhythms theory is the idea that our daily lives are significantly affected by rhythmic cycles within periods of exactly 23, 28 and 33 days. So the 23 days of physical cycle, the 28 days, the emotional cycle and the 33 day is the intellectual cycle. And so the way they they they all line up depends on how good of a day you're going to be having as a woman. My first thought is, don't tell me about my cycle. Yeah, yeah. The 28 day is the emotional cycle also the same amount of period as the menstrual cycle. I don't, first of all reasons. Yeah. Hmm. Jesus. Well, also, how about you just f**king get up and go to work every day? Like, why do you want to give yourself the option of like, I mean, what if you got to fly cross-country and it's an extra? Now that's in your head and extra critical days you get onto the airplane. You know the feeling prophecy, right? Yeah. Just step back, mom says your dad a little dinghy. No, so my dad was so black and white like. Oh, boy. Just like very just anal, oh, like they do not end up saying together, I mean, they ended up everyone got along. Thank God I have a great family that way. But like they ended up getting divorced, but they should have never gotten married in the first place. But he didn't even like wasn't into therapy at all. I mean, he did ask just to please her when they were together, but like, he's like, Get over it, let's go. You know, Brooklyn guy total, like, ended up being a big Trump guy. My mom is a huge liberal. I mean, it's hilarious. I can't even believe they were married. And, you know, she was always into therapy and talking about stuff, and it was like, Just click ahead. Let's go. Clear your head. f**k and get into it. Let's go. And. Yeah, it's cerebral. Like the thought that they were even together is a miracle. Yeah. I think my parents, I my theories, my parents couldn't see each other for decades after they got divorced, but I think they were both so embarrassed that they were with each other and it was mutual. Think about you better look at my dad, my mom's car like some guy you f**ked with your drunken college enemy. Run into him, you Costco. Eight years later, look, I know what he's thinking, you know? And my dad would look at my mom got a laugh with the biorhythms. Well, they're were disgusted and a shame. I think that's just me putting on my second college. Yeah. So I enjoy my birthday in the app today. For me, it as a peak physical day. Oh, really? Is a joke. I'm falling apart. Emotional. Intellectual. Terrible. Minus 95. Oh yeah. Oh well, that makes you feel dumb. Yeah, I do now. Yeah. So my mom would have done is she would have consulted the wheel before she left for the podcast and then scrub the podcast. Because that is, oh, that's incredible. I would I would love to just find out who's purchased the Biorhythms wheel and find out their relationship with work like I guarantee is not a lot of guys logging camps. We're consulting the wheel before they left. But you know, what's your birthday? May 1st. Oh, all right. Look at that. Let me. Mine's May 27 so we can figure out what kind of day I'm having.

So don't upset the will. One thousand to insult the wheel. You've insulted the whale now, but you will. Oh ooh ! Good day. Bad news minus 78. Emotional, however. 62 intellectual. 94 physical. Oh, that's good. Yeah, I came twice today, so that makes no sense. Since I sat here, I've come twice. All right. I'm here with try to get through this. I'll do my best. I promised you a couple of stories about cancel culture, and they come from two very different angles. So let's get into those first. CinemaBlend has pulled its original review of the movie Turning Red and left its author Sean O'Connell, out to dry after he was accused of being a sexist and racist. Talk about the sort of talk about someone I know with somebody else because we talked about the movie I've been told is like Kerry for children. Just what to do. What does a young, emotional Canadian, Asian Canadian girl do when she's getting her period? I've seen it. I thought it was great. My family loved it. I haven't seen it, but it was published on March 7th. It was long. I'm literally just giving you like two lines. It's the review for the movie. Yes, and this is this was sort of the crux. I am not this film's target audience. Pixar has turned its reins over to fresh voices and given them the freedom to share deeply personal stories, though less universal stories and just kind of gives a lot of examples about how he's like, I don't know, this movie certainly wasn't made for me. This sounds like a movie that was made for the writer and the writer's friends, and it's just a movie where they watch the movie, where they turn into a red pen. That's it. That's it. Yeah, it's about a period. It's a metaphor. It's always, you know, it's a Pixar movie, so it's really good, period. One of the most obvious metaphors is that this is a 13 year old girl who's now getting her period, and when her emotions get to a certain level, she turns into a red panda. I saw the trailer. I had no idea, either. I'm thick that way. So that's so the guys like, give us a million examples of why he was not the target audience for this movie. Mm hmm. The tweets came in about what a privileged white male dips**t he is. And I pulled one. What was the publication he wrote for Cinema Black and the one that really, I think is sort of encapsulates what we're talking about. Someone tweeted, This dude sits on the board of Critics Choice. This was an Entertainment Weekly digital editor. Yolanda Machado, I. I'm so ashamed that I share a group with him. He must be removed as he has done this before. We do not want or need racist critics on the board. You don't know the answer. Did he give it a good or bad review? I mean, does it do they give thumbs up or thumbs down? I don't know. I just wonder if he literally just kept saying, This is this is this movie was not made for me. I don't know what to do with it. Now this is the worst part. Go ahead. I don't understand. What did he say that was racist? Well, like the examples he gave, like if you know, this is supposed to be a little girl who's Canadian and Asian in 13, it's not for me to relate to. He basically said the director drew heavily upon her Canadian Asian upbringing to make this movie, and she did. But like all great movies, it's relatable and I was like, Yo, greater meaning. And he's I mean, I read the whole thing and he's literally just saying, here are all the reasons that I don't relate to this movie. Like, it's not even about the movie, it's about his inability to relate to it. But he did delete it and apologize. And you got here. You're going out to the cornfield. Genuinely sorry for my turning red review. Thank you to everyone who has reached out with criticism. No matter how harsh, it is clear that I didn't engage nearly enough with the movie, nor did I explain my point of view well at all. I really appreciate your feedback. The it's so, such a f**ked up society, but that's amazing to me. He did explain all that. He kept saying, I'm not the guy for this movie here. All the reasons I don't relate. It doesn't have to be linear track or be logical or follow any sense anymore. It's we're living in an era where Sharon Osborne defends Piers Morgan against a Chequers half-black and half-White, who is a b***h and she gets s**t canned. It doesn't. We don't. We don't have to track anymore. It's just, we're just there. Somebody complain, you're gone. That's where we're at. And now everything is f**ked up because I don't know is a guy who's been rejected from Sundance for a bunch of docs, one about a a black man who overcame adversity and the other one about a guy whose partners named Sundance and the Sundance Film Festival. It's. It's no longer about the product anymore, and now we don't know like this is a good product, but now you got to watch the Oscars and go, are they just there because it's about a black lesbian or are they really there? Is that really the best picture? Is this really a bad review? Are we now not allowed to give bad reviews if the subject is a female or Asian or something like we're f**king ourselves up badly here, it really badly? Well, and that's the thing. Like Brian said, it's unclear whether this is technically a good or bad review, but even if it's a bad review, it has to be deleted and you're allowed to like or not. Here, I want to use your logic, which I agree with, which is if you're not a sushi fan, don't review a sushi restaurant doesn't make sense. And if this movie, I think, is all grandstanding at this point, like this was made for me. That said, if it's truly if you could not relate to it could not understand it wasn't made for you. Recuse yourselves yourself. Exactly. You know, there's other people should be reviewed. I agree with you, too. I don't think he should have even reviewed it. Yeah. If you feel that strongly, genuinely pass off, why I keep saying yes, I don't relate to this. No, I agree on that side of it. Which is first off, if you're a movie reviewer, then review movie I, the two shows I toggle back and forth with on. I think our on both on Netflix, as I was, I was watching the Andy Warhol doc and then I would switch over to Schumacher, the F1 Ferrari star and I just watch anywhere and then I watch that one. Now I like cars and I'm not as into Campbell soup cans, but I as a guy who has nothing in common with Warhol, I can still enjoy it. That's your job as a reviewer for what? You know, wherever this guy's from, whatever, Glen. No, I mean, he hails from Indiana, right? Every movie is not going to be Hoosiers. I got got to use your imagination a little the same thing that was a little annoyed. Like that was like, Come on, just some. Yeah. Well, so it's two different points. It's yeah, kind of pull your head out. This isn't about you, but also why delete it? Pretend it never happened, and apologize for your your off tape? Right? But on the other hand, it's a very dangerous world when we go. This movie was made by a woman of color and then, Hey, white guy, you can't critique this movie. It's like we have. Kamala Harris is a s**t show. I can say she's a s**t show without being a racist or misogynist. She's a bad man. It means she's happy to be bad at her job. Like, please everyone, we're going down a scary f**king road here. Well, I'll I'll do you one better. And this one doesn't have the apology. At the end, at least 12000 students at the City University of New York have signed a petition to cancel an opera about Emmett Till, and he is the victim, yes. And the reason will astound zealotry the victim of a high profile 1955 lynching in Mississippi because the woman who wrote It is white. The Oh my god. John Jay College of Criminal Justice student Maya Bishop created the Change.org petition in an attempt to halt the continuation of Emmett Till, a new American opera. Well. Oh yeah. Cousin Maya, your girl. In the petitions description she wrote about saying that the show is all about playwright Claire Kass white guilt rather than the appalling killing of Til when he was 14 for allegedly flirting with a white woman. His murder remains one of the most notorious race hate killings in U.S. history and helped galvanize so this Jussie Smollett. That's right. That's right. But I think you'll appreciate this. The show features a black composer, a woman named Mary D Watkins, and she said about this possessed petition, It's an insult to her as a black woman and to the company members who are African-American. That they're doing this on their behalf, to me, is insane. I'm sorry that that's insane. Truly, it's very Twilight Zone esque. Well, also, it is. It's for my God, it's the opposite of whatever Dr. Martin Luther King was talking about. And if you want to tell these stories as a white person and a white woman, then that that's the that is the definition of evolved, you know, and it's it's it's this slippery slope of I've been screaming about this for 20 years. Stop assigning the right. As a woman of color, I feel like, you know, it's subtle and it's now ubiquitous. If if somebody has got to interview Jussie Smollett, we have to have a black woman go or black guy or go get, go, get that. It's like, Is this really? Is this where you want this, the road you want to go down as a society where this person can have an opinion on that or create art or interview this person of color? It's f**ked up. It's the op. It is essentially. It's essentially the new form of racism, this new created why black dorms and black graduations and segregate everything and compartmentalize everything. And now there's actual, you know, thoughts like you got to go, Hey, if you've got a doctor or whatever and you want to get into Tribeca, well, there's maybe we hand it off to this woman of color and then she brings it in so we could get into the. Is that where you want to go? Because we're here and we keep going and it's all in the name of progress, which is the scariest part. Well, and the thing I don't I it's to your point. What I don't understand is, don't people say like, you know, it's really not an issue like this is I'm making up this example. But like, say, racism against black people really won't become a universal issue until a white person or somebody you know in the majority stands up for them. You know, it's like, don't like they said about women like men help us like, be our ally. Like, don't don't, you know, torture women on the street when they're walking alone. Don't, you know, freak people out? Help us be part of the solution. This woman wrote an opera about Emmett Till. She's essentially helping raise this awareness. Yeah, well, it it basically, to me, the hand has been revealed, which is if your goal, the stated goal is we have to end racism and oppression or whatever. Once it starts getting into this territory, you're now in into the sort of Peder category, which is I was with you on that testing shampoo on cat eyeballs. Now you're calling everyone who steps on a roach Hitler. Now you're not. Now you're going into the dingbat. I'll just go about the racist Boulder City University. Remember what? University of Colorado Boulder? Yeah, no. That's not Illinois. I'm I'm trying to out of Wisconsin. Wisconsin, yeah. The race, a boulder was deemed racist so right that they just moved it to another area. It was racist. It was a newspaper story and from like 1923 that called it the rock a racist name. And then somehow, I mean, the whole point is the good news is, is we apparently were running low on real race. Oh, I see the picture. We have to manufacture that. Like the guy who wrote, Yeah, the guy who wrote the paper ended up having like, not 20 22 views on everything I think gave the boulder a race. Oh, OK. From that, but that was what we sailed through the 70s, 80s, 90s with the boulder not oppressing anyone. And then in 2021, we had to make a move. OK. You know what I mean? Well, if you're going or if you went to Miami Beach for spring break, joke's on you because they got a curfew starting at midnight Thursday. That is as you hear this after two shootings and injuries to police officers over the weekend shattered what had been a relatively calm spring break. And they may start to do more restrictions. The mayor and city manager said they'd asked the city commissioner to extend the curfew. Curfews can only go for 72 hours. So this is basically going to go from Thursday to Sunday, and then they'll ask to re-up it. So maybe control yourselves. Spring break South Beach spring breaks are getting a little rowdy, apparently. Yeah. Pelican loose. Yeah, yeah, lots of shootings and s**t going on. And now you better be in the house by, you know, 6:00 p.m.. Well, first off, what house like? I feel like most people are down there back in the motor from the, you know, the from, you know, Pennsylvania, they're coming down, they're at a party, but they've got to be back at a party, in your room, back in the room. Yep. So did you guys do much spring breaking? I did. Oh my God. I went to University of Maryland. I went away every year for spring break. I was just in Delray Florida this weekend and it was insane, right? Spring Breakers, they were out of their minds, drunk, wasted in the streets. Really? Yeah. And say, what was your spring break back in the day? Oh, we went to like the Bahamas Cancun. Wow. You know those places? Yeah, right? I was in a sorority. I had so much fun. Wow. I mean, we weren't like, we were like the ones that got high all day and didn't show up to any events. But I had a blast. Yeah, yeah. Well, it's so much fun. Delta Phi Epsilon is that like a East Coast, it's a national sorority. But I went to Maryland where, like St. Elmo's Fire was filmed. You know, like, that whole show was amazing. I know there were a ton of fraternities and sororities. It was fun. Where did you go to college? No. Where? Oh, well, look you now, though, but I love I watch the s**t out of St. Elmo's Fire. That was fun, and I would I would see all the buildings with the ivy in the fire. Yeah, that's what I was in. I lived in a house for four years. It was. Changing the seasons, yeah, everything I grew up in North Hollywood is like a. You want to go, you want to go to the 7-Eleven or the Circle K Yeah, which which stucco box do you want to go into? That was it. I would watch as movies and I would look at them. They're going out there having a drink. We did. Got a bar car, danced on tables. It was fun. Wow. It was I. That was the best time in my life is college. I think it resembled anything close to St. Elmo's wanted and I just did gigs in Florida and they all came out. They all came to my shows like, Oh, really? They surprised me. Nine of them. Wow. They were all like Jessica. I looked over and nine of my sorority sisters were there. It was fun. Oh yeah, jealous. I know we would go. We had Palm Springs. That's fun. You can't get, you know, wherever we went, we had to get there in a car that wasn't that good. And there's a range issue. There's no plane tickets, cruises or anything. But do you want a close second? Yeah, we go to we go to Palm Springs, but we didn't have credit cards or hotel rooms or something. We would just show up and kind of I I there's a picture, Chris, of me. I don't know if it's from one of our books or something, but there's a picture of me sleeping on a lounge chair, which is basically just show up and go like, who's staying where? And sometimes I'll let you sleep on the floor or whatever. But sometimes you'd have to just go out to the pool at night when you were done and just flop out, flop on a lounge. Yeah, yeah, we've I didn't get into that either. Come out here to see my dad or maybe go to New York, but I didn't rage. Did you raise? I had one real spring break my senior year with USC in L.A., so this was the first flight I'd ever purchased for myself. We went to Florida, meaning like four friends flew to Tampa, drove to Fort Myers Beach Road in Miami, drove to Key West. Oh, that's very retraced our steps. There's an awesome week. And that was the only real spring break I ever did. Yeah, we didn't. Well, I didn't go to college really much. But I mean, we could like piggyback a little fun, you know, in the back of other people who attended college, you knew when spring was. Oh yeah, yeah. And I think the closest scene was like Palm Springs. And then that's that would be the move. All right. Let's bring it home. Gina Grant. You got it. I'm Gina Grad. And that's the news. Gina Gina.
