1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,520
Welcome to Nice Ashes, I'm Mike.

2
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:10,520
And I'm Nate.

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,880
What are we talking about today, Nate?

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:18,800
Well, jokes on you, this is a cigar podcast, so let's talk about what we're smoking first

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,800
and then we'll talk about what we're talking about.

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:22,800
Oh, jeez.

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:23,800
Yes, yes, yes.

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:24,800
What are we smoking, Mike?

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,680
We are smoking a Gurka Titan.

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:28,680
Damn.

11
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,640
Yep, I'm hoping that this will be good.

12
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:33,640
We did.

13
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:34,640
This is our last one, right?

14
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,800
This is our last of the Gurka series, yeah.

15
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:37,800
For now.

16
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,120
For now, for now.

17
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,680
Our timing was good with the Titanic submarine, so.

18
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,200
Yes, yes.

19
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:49,560
I will gladly smoke this in honor of more billionaires dying.

20
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,560
We can only hope.

21
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,880
All right, and I feel this one's similar in size to the other two, like the Centurion

22
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:02,200
and the other ones that we had might be a tiny bit longer, though.

23
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,200
I don't know.

24
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,200
Possibly.

25
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:09,000
It's a different shape than the Centurion, but they're all about the same size.

26
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,600
They're like a Toro, not a Robusto.

27
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:12,600
Yep.

28
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:18,420
I am pairing this with Heaven's Door double barrel aged whiskey.

29
00:01:18,420 --> 00:01:21,640
It's the Bob Dylan themed whiskey.

30
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,360
I've never heard of it, but it sounds wonderful.

31
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,200
This is the first sip of this one.

32
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,480
I've had the regular Heaven's Door whiskey, which is good.

33
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,320
This one is a little stronger, but very, very smooth.

34
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:37,960
I don't have any ice or whiskey stones or anything in there.

35
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:39,920
Just straight, and it is phenomenal.

36
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:40,920
Oh, good.

37
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,600
I'm pairing mine with lemon water because it is hot here.

38
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,240
Yes, it is.

39
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:52,080
It's been hot, but it rained today, and the high today where I'm at was 72.

40
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,080
Oh, wow.

41
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,080
That was delightful.

42
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,080
Delightful.

43
00:01:55,080 --> 00:02:00,280
Yeah, it's been raining here for three days, but it's still hot.

44
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,760
Just the hot muggy, huh?

45
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,120
Yeah, it is borderline tropical.

46
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:11,080
All right, so I've got a story for you.

47
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:17,600
Before I launch into this story, I feel that we should come clean with our listeners and

48
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,480
let them know about our Facebook page.

49
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,400
If you want to interact with us on Facebook, we're now on Facebook.

50
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,280
We have been for a little bit, but we've been working through a backlog of recorded episodes,

51
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,880
so we hadn't had a chance to share that with you yet on the actual podcast.

52
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,360
We do have some lively discussions over there.

53
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:41,280
I mean, livelier than my personal Facebook page anyway, so that's a plus.

54
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,600
We check that and get notified on that.

55
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:48,160
If you want to reach out or give us a like or a follow, share us with your friends or

56
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,440
enemies like we always say, there's that over there.

57
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,920
There's a post on there more recently than my personal Facebook page, because I don't

58
00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:59,400
know when the last time I had a post on mine.

59
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,320
Yes, and more recently than my personal one too.

60
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,280
But now to my story.

61
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:11,840
When this episode comes out, June will have just wrapped up and we will be in July.

62
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:12,840
Okay.

63
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,040
It might even come out the day after, because what, the 4th of July is on Tuesday?

64
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,120
Yeah, because the first is Saturday.

65
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:27,040
Yep, so this one will come out on the 5th, so we'll be happy late 4th of July.

66
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,500
Hopefully you have all your digits from your firework extravaganza, but my story takes

67
00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:38,160
place in June and our topic today takes place in June.

68
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:43,200
Everybody knows June is Men's Health Month.

69
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,240
Okay.

70
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:54,600
So my wife and I went and we went to a concert in some unnamed town with some unnamed musician

71
00:03:54,600 --> 00:04:02,680
playing and we met some of this unnamed musician's cohorts or friends as it were at this establishment.

72
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,320
And my wife and I were sitting outside.

73
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,220
We had just had a baby.

74
00:04:06,220 --> 00:04:12,000
So I think we mentioned that on the podcast before that we were expecting a baby boy and

75
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,320
he came and he's here and he's nowhere near the cigar smoke for those of you that are

76
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,080
concerned, but he's doing very well.

77
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:27,060
So my wife was talking to these friends of a friend, let's say, and one of them had purple

78
00:04:27,060 --> 00:04:31,760
hair and was asking if we were planning to have more.

79
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,080
And she was talking to Sarah and not really to me.

80
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,440
I was on the other side of the table and she said, Oh, you planning on having more?

81
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,240
And my wife said, Nope, we're done having the kids.

82
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,960
We have a girl and a boy.

83
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,800
So we've got one of each.

84
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,560
And the first thing out of purple hair's mouth was you weren't going to try for a non-binary.

85
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:52,560
Really?

86
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,960
I was not expecting that.

87
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,440
No, it's a twist.

88
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:02,560
I lured you in and I was expecting something like that, but it was the well, how do you

89
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,200
know what they are until they tell you?

90
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,280
Yeah.

91
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:10,320
So now I looked it up since then.

92
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:16,640
One point six percent of the American population identifies as non-binary.

93
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,440
One point six.

94
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,640
Can you imagine how many times you would have to try to get a non-binary child to legitimately

95
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,000
get one?

96
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,520
That stat seems higher than it should be.

97
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:29,520
See what I'm saying?

98
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:35,280
Like it's one point six, but I'm saying it's probably more like point zero one six.

99
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:39,840
Well, so the first stat that popped up was five percent, but then I read on that what

100
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:45,040
the stat was actually referring to and it was trans and non-binary.

101
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,240
So they were lumping trans in.

102
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,580
So you lump all those two categories together.

103
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:53,220
It's five percent non-binary one point six percent.

104
00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:54,960
That might be over or under reported.

105
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:55,960
I don't know.

106
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:56,960
I didn't.

107
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:57,960
It wasn't.

108
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,680
I didn't have the time to want to go and dig into it further.

109
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,640
I just knew it was a small percentage.

110
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:02,640
Yes.

111
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,760
So I think I think it's you have a better chance.

112
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:14,680
You have a way better chance of being non-binary than you do of making money in an MLM.

113
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,360
Probably yes.

114
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:22,920
So then the next thing she said, this this woman or whatever they might identify as said

115
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,300
that they had a friend who was raising their child gender neutral.

116
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:30,920
And she said, nobody knows what this kid's gender is.

117
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,500
And I piped in and said, people know.

118
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:34,620
And she's like, no.

119
00:06:34,620 --> 00:06:39,640
And I said, I assure you, people know the gender of that child.

120
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,480
And she kind of looked at me and I said, well, OK, I had met previously.

121
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:51,240
I've met one gender neutral child who was friends with my brother.

122
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,320
The parents were.

123
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,880
And so I went and saw them.

124
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,140
And then I asked my brother afterwards, I'm like, oh, how old is their son?

125
00:06:57,140 --> 00:06:58,980
And my brother goes, how do you know it's a son?

126
00:06:58,980 --> 00:07:00,040
Did they tell you?

127
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,640
And I'm like, no, it looks like a man.

128
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,360
It looks like a male child.

129
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,600
And he goes, well, they're raising a gender neutral.

130
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,020
And nobody's supposed to know.

131
00:07:10,020 --> 00:07:11,020
But you're right.

132
00:07:11,020 --> 00:07:13,240
It is a boy baby.

133
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,240
And I was like, yeah.

134
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,480
I mean, I guess there are some androgynous people.

135
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,160
But the hormones are just different.

136
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,840
At a certain point, you can tell.

137
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:23,840
Right?

138
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:24,840
Yeah.

139
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:30,840
And then, of course, having small babies of your own helps you identify them as well.

140
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:37,680
So going in with more men's health month, I thought another story might be forthcoming

141
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,680
for you, Mike.

142
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,100
Oh, OK.

143
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:49,040
So I went to the Pride Festival yesterday down here in Minneapolis at Loring Park.

144
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:56,000
And I was going to I was conscripted or asked to take photos.

145
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,920
I don't know if conscripted is the right word.

146
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:04,820
Like I voluntarily did it to take photos of a mutual friend of ours who's a musician.

147
00:08:04,820 --> 00:08:11,020
So I went to go take some photos of them performing at the Pride Festival on a stage.

148
00:08:11,020 --> 00:08:15,880
And as I was trying to find this stage, there was a beer garden, a beer tent.

149
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:16,880
Right.

150
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,680
And you probably know what this material is.

151
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:25,680
It's kind of like what do they it's not like it's not like burlap, but it's the way this

152
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,040
very, very course is.

153
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,040
Yeah.

154
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,400
It's not like canvas was like it's like plastic and you can like print on it and things.

155
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:32,400
Right.

156
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:33,400
Sure.

157
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:34,400
Yeah.

158
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,400
It's like a plastic burlap.

159
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:36,400
I know you're talking about.

160
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,400
Yeah.

161
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,400
Yeah.

162
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,400
And they make signs out of it.

163
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:40,800
The material you're talking about.

164
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:41,800
Yeah.

165
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:42,800
Yep.

166
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:43,800
Yep.

167
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:44,800
Yeah.

168
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:45,880
And so they put it on the they put it on the chain link fence and they had printed

169
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,560
on it all these signs, you know, like things printed on it.

170
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:53,400
And I was walking by and they were all pride flags.

171
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,680
And I was like, oh, OK.

172
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:57,060
Then they also had what each pride flag was.

173
00:08:57,060 --> 00:09:02,560
And so there was stuff for, you know, just regular things.

174
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:08,200
And then there was like twink and lipstick lesbian and everything else.

175
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,320
And I was like, that's a lot of oddly specific flags.

176
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,320
Right.

177
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,280
And then they have the WP flag on there.

178
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,680
You know, it's a pride in a color that is starts with the letter W.

179
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:21,680
OK.

180
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:25,920
No, I don't think they had that one.

181
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,960
Well, I'm saying they had all these pride flags on there.

182
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:29,960
Yes.

183
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:30,960
Yes.

184
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:36,240
So I thought for our episode tonight in honor of Men's Health Month, we can go and I found

185
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:41,080
now I found a list of the 36 queer pride flags you should know.

186
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:46,560
And this was published June 1st of 2023 on Advocate.com.

187
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:52,520
And I'll link the article so that you listeners, if you want to see all the pretty colors we

188
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,720
can go through and go through that.

189
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,880
So I thought it'd be fun to go through because I had no idea what a lipstick lesbian was

190
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,160
until I looked it up.

191
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,920
Should I look this up on my laptop?

192
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:03,920
I don't know.

193
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:04,920
Yeah, I guess.

194
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,640
Why don't I I'll just forward you the link here.

195
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:08,640
Oh, sure.

196
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,480
I guess like if if Mike and I ever planned anything, he would already have this.

197
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,560
We'd both be looking at it and we both say, hey, that's great.

198
00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:19,240
But I figured we just start at the top.

199
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:24,640
The first one and this I'm just kind of giving giving Mike some time to pull the link up

200
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,280
that sent to you now, Mike.

201
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,440
The first one on this list is the Gilbert Baker pride flag, which is probably the flag

202
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:37,100
you're most familiar with if you're not deeply into the I guess they call it the queer culture.

203
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:44,280
So I guess I can say that I thought at one point here was kind of like a no, no to say

204
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,480
is that accurate or inaccurate, Mike?

205
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:47,480
It was.

206
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,520
It is for straight people.

207
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:54,540
It's kind of like other words that certain groups are in groups are allowed to say and

208
00:10:54,540 --> 00:10:56,160
out groups are not.

209
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,720
OK, well, this is this is from an article.

210
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:06,800
So I feel like I can say it in the context of what we're talking about here in this episode.

211
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,760
And we're trying to raise awareness for these different subgroups within this community.

212
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,360
But the first year and I'll just read.

213
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,360
So if you scroll down to the first flag there, Mike, just let me know when you're ready.

214
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,360
I am ready.

215
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:20,360
All right.

216
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,480
So this one is Harvey Milk challenge.

217
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:30,520
Gilbert Baker in 1977, who Gilbert Baker was a veteran who taught himself how to sew

218
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,040
to come up with a symbol of pride for the gay community and Harvey Milk.

219
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,360
There's I think it's a is it a Sean Penn movie?

220
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,600
There's a movie about Harvey Milk out there.

221
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:41,600
Yes.

222
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,180
But beside the point, I think there's more to that full story than this one flag.

223
00:11:46,180 --> 00:11:50,720
But the original pride flag was inspired by Judy Garland's Over the Rainbow.

224
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:57,560
And this flag was flown on the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade celebration June 25th,

225
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:58,560
1978.

226
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:02,280
There's a little dispute, I guess, that we should mention on whether or not Baker was

227
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,440
the sole creator or not.

228
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,040
But it actually lists out what all the colors mean.

229
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:13,800
So it starts with hot pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight,

230
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:19,680
green for nature, turquoise for magic and art, indigo for serenity and violet for spirit.

231
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:24,760
So the only thing is like sex sounds like that.

232
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,080
But but what have you.

233
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,720
So that was the original one, 1977.

234
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:35,720
And I guess poor Harvey, if we scroll down to the next flag, Mike, met his end at the

235
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,000
at the end of an assassination attempt that was successful.

236
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,040
And they wanted to change the flag.

237
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,040
So they did.

238
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:50,780
And they kind of dropped the hot pink because they had trouble getting the hot pink fabric.

239
00:12:50,780 --> 00:12:53,220
But I don't think the rest of these go down through all the colors.

240
00:12:53,220 --> 00:12:57,360
So basically, it's very similar to the flag of above.

241
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,920
But there's a lighter purple instead of the hot pink.

242
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:01,920
Yes.

243
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:02,920
All right.

244
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,760
So is everybody still with us?

245
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:10,900
I know it's kind of hard to do like a visual flag thing on a podcast, but we're going

246
00:13:10,900 --> 00:13:16,500
to be getting into now that we've covered the two main ones, we're going to be getting

247
00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:20,440
into more of the subgroups and things.

248
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,040
I guess there's two more two more kind of like generic generic ish ones.

249
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:30,480
Yeah, the next one is the one that everybody thinks of as the gay pride flag, because it's

250
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,600
the one that was popular forever.

251
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,400
And it has fewer colors.

252
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,200
It only has six colors.

253
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,000
So it seems like there's a lot of economics pushing the number of colors down.

254
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Yeah, if you if you sorry about that.

255
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:49,560
I took a big old swig of Dylan whiskey and it went right right to the old back of throat.

256
00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:55,400
Yeah, if any of you have done any kind of graphic design or wanted to get a t shirt

257
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,760
printed, you know that three colors is pretty much kind of like the standard.

258
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,840
And then if you want more than three colors, you get charged quite a bit for additional

259
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,360
color beyond that.

260
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,360
Yes.

261
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:12,160
The next flag down is well, they're they're including more people, they're being more

262
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,160
inclusive.

263
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,040
So the next flag down is the Philadelphia people of color inclusive flag.

264
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:23,240
So it says here that they made this flag because queer people of color are often not fully

265
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,640
included in the LGBT community.

266
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,720
So the city of Philadelphia specifically added two colors black and brown, the pride flag

267
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:30,840
in their honor.

268
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,000
The city had previously faced accusations of racial discrimination in its gay bars.

269
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:41,480
So I feel like this is probably a response to backlash, social media backlash or social.

270
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,480
I don't know what it does.

271
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,480
It doesn't say when this flag came into this.

272
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,760
But no, it doesn't have the date at all.

273
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:48,760
Yeah.

274
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:54,920
All I know is, is somebody who sometimes dabbles in graphic design and the things I'm not I'm

275
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:59,920
not hugely thrilled about the black and brown with the rest of the rainbow color, but to

276
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:00,920
each their own.

277
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:06,840
Well, you know, anytime that there's a controversy, instead of addressing whatever the underlying

278
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,320
issue is, you just kind of slap some paint on it and continue rocking and rolling.

279
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,520
So yeah, it's the American way.

280
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:14,520
Yes.

281
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,600
So this next flag, then I don't know if you want to take this one, Mike, this next one.

282
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,560
Oh, the progress pride flag.

283
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,520
Yeah.

284
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:29,440
Sorry, guys.

285
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,960
This is like a traditional gay pride flag on the right.

286
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:41,120
And then it's got white, pink, light blue, brown and black on the left coming in as like

287
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:49,040
an arrow. Yeah, an arrow or like a square tilted at a 90 or 45 degree angle or something.

288
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,960
Yeah, something like that.

289
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:57,920
We're really trying to, you know, understand all these different flags and the different

290
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,640
like sub subgroups that they represent.

291
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,840
Some of the graphic design, though, is.

292
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:09,120
And yeah, and this was supposed to have all the transgendered colors and black and brown

293
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,400
people and people with AIDS.

294
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:16,840
And it's the same thing that's been happening with this community in general, where it's

295
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,920
like they can't just have a group.

296
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,760
It has every individual subgroup has to be named in the flag.

297
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,880
And it's a lot going on.

298
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:26,880
It is hilarious.

299
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:27,880
Oh, my God.

300
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:28,880
The next one's even better.

301
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:29,880
OK.

302
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,800
But was there anything we needed to mention about about this one?

303
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,880
Just that they're adding adding in the more transgender.

304
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:45,640
Oh, a guy named Daniel Kawas are identified as queer and non-binary binary designed the

305
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:46,640
flag.

306
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:47,640
OK.

307
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:48,640
So, yes.

308
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:49,640
All right.

309
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:50,640
So now this next one.

310
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,160
And so some of these words, I think we're going to have to look up some of these things

311
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,880
because I honestly don't know what this means.

312
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,280
And maybe you do, Mike, because you're a lot more progressive than I am.

313
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,760
But this next one here, I'll take this one.

314
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,000
If you thought the last one's graphic design was bad, just hold on.

315
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,000
This is great.

316
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,160
No, I saw this.

317
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,640
What is the intersex inclusive progress?

318
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,200
Pride flag, which is a tongue twister in and of itself, just to say.

319
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:25,720
But this one was designed in 2021 by Valentino of a Chetty of Intersex Equality Rights UK

320
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,400
to include the intersex community represented by the yellow triangle and closing the purple

321
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:31,400
circle.

322
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,400
It's one of the most up to date LGBTQ plus legs available today.

323
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,880
I don't know what intersex is.

324
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:45,840
Intersex is kind of like non-binary or it's like non-binary, but I think that the intersex

325
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,600
people move between sexualities and genders.

326
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,280
If I'm up to date with my understanding, which I'm probably OK.

327
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:55,280
So yeah.

328
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,600
So here it says, and this is according to PlannedParenthood.org, intersex is an umbrella

329
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,800
term that describes bodies that fall outside the strict male, female, female binary.

330
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,040
So there's lots of ways someone can be intersex.

331
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,340
It's a general term.

332
00:18:07,340 --> 00:18:13,400
So I feel like we're kind of with these flags and subgroups, we're kind of like we're starting

333
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:14,640
all inclusive, right?

334
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,360
Like the whole subset of the queer community.

335
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:19,960
And then we're kind of working our way down and down.

336
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:25,240
So that's good to know that intersex probably encompasses a fair number of terms that are

337
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,840
more more commonly used.

338
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,120
I would say sure.

339
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:39,280
And see now this LGBTQ plus is not the term that I've heard is the common one now.

340
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:45,880
It's LGBTQ plus 2IA, no 2SIA.

341
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:46,880
Yes.

342
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,880
OK.

343
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:48,880
Sorry.

344
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,200
I think this stuff is also good to know.

345
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,200
Yes.

346
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,800
I think a lot of this stuff is it's going over the top and because it's so over the

347
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,360
top, it becomes very funny.

348
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:04,400
You know, they took something that was pretty serious and now they've made it silly by going

349
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,080
by jumping the shark, so to speak.

350
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,080
Yes.

351
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:14,400
But we're still going to go through because as ridiculous as some of these flags may be,

352
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:19,040
I was curious, having seen that, seen that printout on the chain link fence with all

353
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,040
the different flags.

354
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,360
And I thought, hey, it'd be fun to kind of go through this with Mike on our show.

355
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:24,360
Absolutely.

356
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:28,160
Smoking a Stoge and at least learn a little bit about the communities that they're representing,

357
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,560
despite the fact the flags look like they were designed by maybe a kindergartner with

358
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,400
a full box of crayon colors.

359
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,240
Well, other than the six colored flag, I'd never seen any of these.

360
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:43,000
So I guess we're all getting my initial genuine reaction.

361
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,160
Yes.

362
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,560
And you know, one of the one of the pride flags we're not going to talk about on this

363
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:53,080
episode is the I'm proud to suck cop dick flag, also known as the thin blue line flag.

364
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,240
We're not talking about the fascist, the fascist of America flag.

365
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,640
Yeah, the fascist appreciator flag.

366
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,680
I also like the conservative pride flag.

367
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,720
I think I showed you that one, didn't I?

368
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,000
I'm not sure.

369
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:11,880
It's like the fascist flag, except it has or yellow and green and red and blue and all

370
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,280
these other gate, these other pride colors.

371
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:20,960
It's supposed to be like cops and first responders and firemen and coast guard and army.

372
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,640
All the what are they called?

373
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:24,640
The service?

374
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,720
Yeah, all the service, blah, blah, blah stuff.

375
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,560
You know, all the I'm a fascist piece of shit colors.

376
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,360
Yes.

377
00:20:32,360 --> 00:20:37,400
So this next one, and I don't know, like, is this so the article says thirty six queer

378
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,200
pride flags, you should know.

379
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,080
Now we're on to this one called the queer pride flag.

380
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,840
And it's designed it's not even designed by a name.

381
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,040
It's a username from Deviant Art, the website, Deviant, where you can upload, you can you

382
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,640
can create your own digital drawings and things and put them up there.

383
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:59,240
But apparently this user, Pastel Memer, designed this in 2015 and added some pink and blue

384
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,160
shades to represent same gender attraction.

385
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,960
While orange and green stripes stand for non binary and gender nonconforming.

386
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:12,100
And the black and white stripes symbolize asexual, aromantic and agent.

387
00:21:12,100 --> 00:21:16,000
And I feel like we'll get into should we look up some of those terms?

388
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,840
Do we need to know some of these terms?

389
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:23,840
Well, like, OK, so I guess like my question is, how is same?

390
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:24,840
What is it?

391
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:25,840
What did it say?

392
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:26,840
Same gender attraction?

393
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,440
How is that different than just being gay?

394
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:31,680
It's not.

395
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,440
It's both gays and lesbians.

396
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:34,440
Oh, OK.

397
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:35,440
Yeah.

398
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,240
That's part of that softening of language nonsense that we've been doing.

399
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:40,240
OK.

400
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,240
And, you know, that's fine.

401
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:46,720
I don't you know, it doesn't I guess I don't care if they want to be same gender attraction

402
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,320
versus a gay man or a lesbian.

403
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,680
No, it doesn't really matter.

404
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,560
I think it's weak sauce because, you know, I don't know.

405
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,640
You know, it's a softening of language.

406
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,000
We're going to see both sides, Mike.

407
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,320
We're not it's not going to be full on softening.

408
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,320
Some of it's going to be hard.

409
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,320
Nice.

410
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:10,680
Oh, speaking of hard, this reminds me a little pride aside at the Pride Festival.

411
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:16,720
I had gone maybe six years ago and it was a very different kind of a different vibe.

412
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:24,320
It felt a little more like I'd say maybe like Woodstock and less like an actual thing.

413
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,520
I mean, not not that it wasn't a thing, but when I was there six years ago, there wasn't

414
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,880
really a whole lot of booths and things.

415
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:36,080
And it was just a whole bunch of, you know, people, queer people and their advocates or

416
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:42,560
their supporters, and there was a lot of topless women with the pasties on and, you know, scantily

417
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:48,040
clad everybody and some music and just kind of like more like party vibes.

418
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:53,040
And this year there were a ton of booths, you know, like the 10 by 10 tents and things

419
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,640
and tables and whatnot.

420
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,760
And I was surprised how many churches had booths there and they were all handing out

421
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:00,760
stickers.

422
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,280
And so one was one had the rainbow and said, God is proud of you.

423
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,560
And they're handing out these stickers and another booth, which I should have stopped

424
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:09,560
and talked about.

425
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:14,400
It was it was very warm and I had to find the appropriate stage for the for the pictures.

426
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:19,160
But one was the booth was called Not All Christians Are Assholes.

427
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,280
So I feel like that would have been a very interesting conversation.

428
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:28,360
But I thought it was interesting to see all of these churches that were willing and wanting

429
00:23:28,360 --> 00:23:32,320
to reach out to the, you know, the queer community.

430
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:37,800
And I know that down here in the cities, there are a lot of churches that have will put up

431
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:43,680
rainbows on their LCD displays and say, you know, like all are welcome and whatever.

432
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:49,060
So there are very definitely some much more progressive churches down here than elsewhere

433
00:23:49,060 --> 00:23:51,360
in the state and elsewhere in the country, probably.

434
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:53,760
Well, they kind of have to be.

435
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,360
Most of them are losing membership, so they have to find a way to increase their revenue

436
00:23:58,360 --> 00:23:59,600
or a bankrupt.

437
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:00,600
Yeah.

438
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:06,840
And beyond the church booths, there's a booth that had a slew of dildos on a board and people

439
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:11,080
were throwing rings to try and get the rings over the dildos.

440
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,680
So it was really kind of the duality of man.

441
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:14,680
Right.

442
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:20,520
That's more of like the gay pride festival type of thing that I imagine, you know, that

443
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:21,520
you pictured.

444
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:22,520
Yeah.

445
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,040
But I will say there are far less topless people.

446
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:32,880
Kind of the trend this year, you know, my take on walking the red carpet at Pride Fest,

447
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:38,000
as it were, I guess, was there's a lot less like just general, a lot less nudity or implied

448
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,000
nudity.

449
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,120
And the women that were wearing pasties on their nipples were wearing kind of like a

450
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:47,240
vest or a jean jacket or something that covered, but they was all unbuttoned and they didn't

451
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,440
have any shirt underneath.

452
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:55,560
So it felt a little more refined or reserved than, you know, six years ago.

453
00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:00,440
So it's kind of nice to see maybe corporatized, maybe it just grew up a bit, you know, all

454
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,240
of these people.

455
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,600
And now that gay marriage has been legal, or same sex marriage has been legalized, you

456
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,940
know, I feel that maybe they feel a little more comfortable and they don't feel the need

457
00:25:10,940 --> 00:25:13,800
to be as outspoken or out going.

458
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:14,800
Sure.

459
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:15,800
Or maybe corporatized too.

460
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:16,800
I don't know.

461
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,920
But I guess, you know, everyone's more comfortable and they don't, and they realize they don't

462
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:27,160
have to do as much to get support as they maybe had to in the past.

463
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,880
But the whole point of this aside was there was one guy who was wearing nothing but a

464
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,240
cock sock that kind of like wrapped around.

465
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,200
And I think it was like a cock sock thong thing, but it was like fully like hanging

466
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,360
and flopping, you know, it was like a rainbow flopping thing.

467
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:47,120
And I was like, man, you could put that away anytime.

468
00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:50,760
Was this guy like a twink or was he a bear?

469
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,920
What was his orientation?

470
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:59,600
You know, Mike, as as fascinated as you are by that, I did not stop him to ask him.

471
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,600
You can tell by looking, Nate.

472
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,480
You can tell by looking.

473
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:08,480
I saw I saw the bouncy bounce and I said, no, I'm just going to keep on going.

474
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,480
Oh, boy.

475
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,480
All right.

476
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,000
So why don't let's let's do this next one.

477
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,000
You do this next one.

478
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,760
This one looks like it's right up your alley.

479
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,600
OK, well, I will scroll down.

480
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,600
Yeah.

481
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:33,040
This is the queer people of color pride flag, and it is the gay pride flag, but with the

482
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,560
black power fist on top.

483
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:38,560
And that is awesome.

484
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:44,360
It was first flown in San Francisco pride in 19, but became widely popular during the

485
00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:47,040
Black Lives Matter protests of 20.

486
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:53,000
Flag symbolizes that intersection between fights for racial and queer equality.

487
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,680
So that is awesome.

488
00:26:54,680 --> 00:27:00,480
That is so lazy.

489
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:06,800
That looks like a middle schooler did that as a 15 minute project in computer class.

490
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:07,800
Yeah.

491
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,400
And it's weird because they I guess maybe.

492
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:12,600
Oh, OK, I get it.

493
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:13,600
I get it.

494
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:19,240
So it's overlaid of just the standard what six color pride flag.

495
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,280
And the fist has colors in it.

496
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,400
And at first I thought there was muted colors of the color behind it because all of the

497
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,000
lines line up.

498
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:34,720
But it is actually going from like very, very dark skin to very, very white skin in gradients

499
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:35,720
up.

500
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:40,680
And I thought I was like, well, it's weird that they chose like kind of a tan or like

501
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:46,460
a white or white to be what was showing through from the red stripe.

502
00:27:46,460 --> 00:27:49,240
So it's very confusing visually, I will say.

503
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:54,920
Oh, this is like they took the gay the pride flag and then they put the black power fist

504
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,200
over the top and then an MS paint.

505
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,640
They just color dropped the different colors.

506
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:01,640
Yes.

507
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:02,640
Yes.

508
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:03,640
Yeah.

509
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,440
It's I could do this in 15 minutes.

510
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,520
I guarantee it.

511
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,080
Yeah.

512
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,920
So I'm down to the to the the Titan wrapper.

513
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,120
I've taken my wrapper off.

514
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:18,320
I have maybe three inches left of the cigar.

515
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:19,320
Yeah.

516
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,320
Am I that far ahead of you?

517
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,440
No, I've got three and a half.

518
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:30,060
OK, I just measured I anytime I'm so bad at estimating distances and what orientation

519
00:28:30,060 --> 00:28:33,920
people are wearing cock socks.

520
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,560
So what do you think of this cigar so far?

521
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,160
I quite like it.

522
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,280
I feel like and I don't know.

523
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,480
I feel like it's changed a little bit here at the center at the middle.

524
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:49,920
It has in flavor, which the other ones didn't do drastically.

525
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,520
And this one wasn't drastic either.

526
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,640
No, it's not drastic.

527
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:59,080
And I was smoking a little fast and I got some sour and I slowed it down and it's not

528
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,240
sour anymore.

529
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,240
It's actually nice.

530
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,400
I got a nice medium, but still got some sharpness to it.

531
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:06,400
Yeah.

532
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:07,400
So it's nice.

533
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,400
Yeah.

534
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,320
So I was looking at the side scroll bar.

535
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,800
We're like a quarter of the way through these flags.

536
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,240
Maybe we'll pick it up a little bit.

537
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,240
The pace here.

538
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,200
It will only stop if we if we need something.

539
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,400
We need to clarify some that sound OK with you.

540
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:23,400
Sounds good to me.

541
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,280
So we may want to touch on some other things that have happened since we last recorded

542
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:28,280
at the end.

543
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,280
But absolutely.

544
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,280
So the next flag is the bisexual flag.

545
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,680
Actually one of the better looking flags that we've seen thus far, I think it's more traditional.

546
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:43,200
I mean, it's not we're not saying like I'm saying it's great and going to win flag contests,

547
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,800
but with the other ones we've seen.

548
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,800
So that was the bisexual one.

549
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,440
It's got two big bars and a little bar in the middle.

550
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,680
Now, Mike, you take the next one and I'm going to look this up because this next one I'm

551
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:56,680
not familiar.

552
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,760
I think I'm familiar with the term, but I've heard it explained, but I always forget the

553
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,560
pansexual flag is created on the Internet.

554
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:08,240
Of course, it's got pink, yellow and light blue, and it's a three bar flag.

555
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:13,280
And it represents pansexuality's interest in all genders as partners.

556
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,440
OK, so that's pansexual is a track.

557
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:17,440
They want to fuck everybody.

558
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,680
Genders not just not just male and female.

559
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:21,680
So right.

560
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:22,680
You could be like bisexual.

561
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:28,280
It represents women, nonbinary, gender nonconforming and maybe.

562
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,360
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

563
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,840
If you were bisexual, it would be men and women.

564
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:38,520
But you would not then do anything with the nonbinary people and the other groups.

565
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,480
Whereas pansexuality, everybody is sexy.

566
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:42,480
All right.

567
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:50,720
Then we got the next one is the asexual flag, which is not a well designed flag at all.

568
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:58,080
But therefore the asexual people, it OK, represents many ace identities, including gray sexuals,

569
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:02,920
the fluid area between sexuals and asexuals, the demisexuals, the people who don't experience

570
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:10,240
sexual attraction unless they have an emotional connection with their partners.

571
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:17,560
Next flag.

572
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,360
The labrus lesbian pride flag.

573
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,080
This is awesome.

574
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:27,440
Yeah, this is like the Viking Norwegian.

575
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:33,360
Yes, I can imagine this flag being flown on the back of a motorcycle with by a guy who

576
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,360
has no hair on his head.

577
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:36,360
Yeah.

578
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,040
Or like or like a longship or something.

579
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,040
Mm hmm.

580
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,440
Oh, yeah, for sure.

581
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:46,840
So it's a purple flag with a black triangle and a white axe in the middle.

582
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:47,840
Yeah.

583
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:48,840
This is great.

584
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,920
You could have this in like a video game.

585
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:53,920
This is a good flag.

586
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:54,920
I like this one.

587
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,600
This is a great flag.

588
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:03,320
And it's the labrus, I think, is the style of acts that was used by the Grecian Amazons.

589
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,880
It is a lesbian flag.

590
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,280
So but it hasn't gained much traction in the lesbian community.

591
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,800
I don't know why this would be my go to.

592
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:17,960
I think it's because it was created in 1999 by a gay graphic designer called Sean Campbell.

593
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,600
And I don't think that the lesbians appreciate that.

594
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,600
Well, let's be more inclusive, everyone.

595
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:25,600
This flag is awesome.

596
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:26,600
Yep.

597
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,080
No, that is I want a patch.

598
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,080
Yeah.

599
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,080
Yeah.

600
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,560
Yeah, that's great.

601
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,040
OK, the polyamory flag.

602
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,840
OK, yeah, the polyamory flag.

603
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,680
So it's got the symbol for the infinite number pi.

604
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,040
Oh, infinite number pi.

605
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:46,120
I thought it was like a number pi because it's they forgot a space between number and

606
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,200
pi on the website here.

607
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:49,200
Yes.

608
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,880
So it shares the first letter of polyamory.

609
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:56,400
So this isn't a math flag despite them using a math symbol.

610
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,040
It celebrates the infinite selection of partners available to polyamorous people.

611
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,120
But pi is 3.14.

612
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,120
It's not infinite.

613
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,080
Why didn't they just put infinity symbol on it?

614
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,840
Well, I mean, pi is infinite and it never repeats itself, right?

615
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,560
Yeah, but it's 3.14.

616
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,360
We abbreviate it to 3.14.

617
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,160
Pi has more digits than that.

618
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,160
I'm aware.

619
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:18,160
I'm aware.

620
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,880
But why didn't they just use the infinity symbol?

621
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,880
Dude, are you polyamorous?

622
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,400
No, I am not.

623
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,480
Let's not judge.

624
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,160
Let's not judge just because we don't understand.

625
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,320
This is not as cool as the labrus lesbian pride flag.

626
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:37,680
And that is saving that win for the winner of the pride flag contest.

627
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,520
Yeah, I'm saving that to photos, everybody.

628
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:41,520
That is incredible.

629
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:50,440
It will be Mike's desktop background every time we podcast to look at that.

630
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,400
OK, now this next one, we should have known we should have seen this coming because part

631
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,560
of this next flag was featured on one of the other flags earlier up top.

632
00:33:58,560 --> 00:33:59,560
Yes, it was.

633
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,000
What flag is this, Mike?

634
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,200
This is the intersex flag.

635
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:06,320
It is yellow with a purple circle with yellow on the inside.

636
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,960
And apparently it was designed in 13 in Australia.

637
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:17,200
So and so intersex, we said is just that is an umbrella term for all non gendered, non

638
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,560
binary people.

639
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:19,560
Yes.

640
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,280
The next the next one is a transgender flag.

641
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,120
Monica Helms, a trans woman, designed this flag in 1999.

642
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,480
You've got light blue, traditional color for baby boys, pink for girls and white is in

643
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,840
the middle for those who are transitioning.

644
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:40,720
So transgender is still part of the binary sex culture, gender culture.

645
00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:43,920
Something like the gender fluid, gender flexible flag.

646
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:44,920
Yeah.

647
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,520
And if we get if we get some of these terms wrong, it's not intentional.

648
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,840
No, we're not trying to make fun of anybody.

649
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,520
It's a lot to accept the some of the graphic designers.

650
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,360
But I was trying to make the designs that are ridiculous.

651
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:57,360
Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

652
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,080
The designs are ridiculous.

653
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,640
First of all, for those who are not looking at these, they're all copying the gay pride

654
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:03,640
flag.

655
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:04,640
Right.

656
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:05,640
Mostly.

657
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:06,640
I mean, except for the access, that one's bad ass.

658
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,360
No, the axe ones like that.

659
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:09,360
That one's unique.

660
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,920
That could be man.

661
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:16,000
I want to get that flag and fly it on the back of my pickup truck.

662
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,000
You should.

663
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,000
You should.

664
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,000
I saw one of those losers this weekend.

665
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,560
First time in a long time I've seen that.

666
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,600
So anyway, I'm in the back.

667
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,480
Oh, they had they had an American flag.

668
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:28,480
Thank God.

669
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,560
It wasn't like a Trump flag or something goofy.

670
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:31,560
Oh, yeah.

671
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:37,000
You know, I even saw one guy he had a flying on his back of his truck, but it was so heavy

672
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,840
that he had to bolt wires into this bed of his pickup.

673
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:41,840
Hold it up.

674
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:46,080
It was like an old, you know, POS vehicle, obviously.

675
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:52,160
I know you're the queer in the queer community gets like a lot of flack for being like extra,

676
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,040
you know, like with their stuff.

677
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:59,280
But I tell you, some the length, some of these Trump people and like Rara America and cop

678
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,480
supporter people will go to.

679
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,560
That's like more extra than a lot of the queer community.

680
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,000
So it's absurd.

681
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,640
I know I told you the story about the lady in her blazer.

682
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,320
So yeah, yeah, yeah.

683
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,360
It's let's do this gender fluid flexible flag.

684
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:14,360
Sure.

685
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,280
And this is another knockoff gay pride flag.

686
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:22,600
It's just got different colors and it encompasses the fluctuations and flexibility of gender

687
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,900
and gender fluid people.

688
00:36:24,900 --> 00:36:31,600
So yeah, so gender fluid, then they kind of depends on the day or the feelings not to

689
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:32,600
be.

690
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:33,600
Yes.

691
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,960
I'm not going to be dismissive of it, just to quickly summarize as we still have quite

692
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,760
a few flags to go and not a lot of cigar left.

693
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,640
The next one is gender queer.

694
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:47,000
The gender queer flag highlights androgyny with lavender, agender with white and non

695
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,220
binary with green.

696
00:36:48,220 --> 00:36:53,920
So this is probably more so the people that maybe don't transition between different genders,

697
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:58,880
but they don't feel any close association with any particular gender.

698
00:36:58,880 --> 00:36:59,920
Lipstick lesbian flag.

699
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:01,880
Yeah, that's the one that triggered this whole thing.

700
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,120
I saw this one there and I was like, what?

701
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,800
That is like a Rocky Horror Picture show flag.

702
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:07,800
You know what?

703
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:08,800
And this flag is not bad.

704
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:09,800
This is probably number two.

705
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,800
This is probably running out for number two.

706
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,380
Yeah, no, this could be out of a movie or something.

707
00:37:14,380 --> 00:37:16,660
It's pretty good to design.

708
00:37:16,660 --> 00:37:17,800
What is it, Mike?

709
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,040
If you want the most feminine pride flag, here it is.

710
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:26,960
It's not widely used celebrates the fems who are lesbians, also called and so lesbians.

711
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:27,960
Yes.

712
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:36,120
And so I had no idea what a lipstick lesbian was and I know back in the era when I was

713
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:41,360
growing up, any, it didn't matter if it was a lesbian couple or a gay couple, any same

714
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,040
sex couple, the question was always, well, who's the man in the relationship?

715
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,440
Who's the pitcher and who's the catcher?

716
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:47,920
Yada yada, all that stuff.

717
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:56,720
So this flag is then specifically designed for the lesbians who are the feminine lesbians

718
00:37:56,720 --> 00:38:02,360
and not the more masculine, not that any of the lesbians has to be masculine.

719
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,480
This is all shades of pinks and reds and stuff like that.

720
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:07,840
It's a very nice flag.

721
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,880
Oh, that's got the lesbian flag.

722
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:10,880
Interesting.

723
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,920
The lesbian flag, which looks not as good.

724
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,800
No, nowhere is good.

725
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,760
I don't think we need to go on that.

726
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:23,160
So apparently there's a narrative about this lesbian flag that this flag is more inclusive

727
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:24,840
of butch and trans lesbians.

728
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,520
But apparently there's a debate.

729
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:31,560
So not only can you make really terribly looking flags, but then people get upset if the certain

730
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,600
color's not on there.

731
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,120
So we don't have to get into that.

732
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:41,160
This next one is interesting because it really, really kind of harkens to the Blue Lives Matter

733
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:42,440
flag.

734
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,220
This is the leather latex and BDSM flag.

735
00:38:45,220 --> 00:38:48,560
So this is for the kink community.

736
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:54,280
I guess there's a debate on whether kink communities should be added to the LGBT communities.

737
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,400
I don't know about that.

738
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:58,400
Whatever.

739
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,360
It's got a big heart where the stars and stripes would normally be if this were an American

740
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,000
flag, but it's mostly blue and black.

741
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,400
It's kind of gross.

742
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,160
Bear brotherhood flag.

743
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,160
Oh, yes.

744
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:10,160
Oh, yes.

745
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:11,160
He likes bears.

746
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:12,160
I think it's awesome.

747
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,760
It's so funny.

748
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:21,960
So it's a brown and yellow and orange and gray and black gay pride flag with a paw on

749
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:22,960
it.

750
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,640
And I thought it was going to be for something else, a bear paw.

751
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:30,000
And then it's basically just supposed to be for bears, I guess.

752
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,560
It was designed in 1995.

753
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,920
Which are what, the heavier set, the hairier.

754
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:35,920
Yes.

755
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:40,240
They don't have to be heavier set, but they're usually the masculine, hairy guys.

756
00:39:40,240 --> 00:39:41,240
Okay.

757
00:39:41,240 --> 00:39:42,240
Yeah.

758
00:39:42,240 --> 00:39:43,380
I'll take this next one.

759
00:39:43,380 --> 00:39:46,720
It looks like it came from the Flash comic or something.

760
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:49,320
That's the rubber pride flag.

761
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:55,280
So this is another fetish fetish one, similar to the leather and BDSM one.

762
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,760
It's for members who have a rubber and latex fetish.

763
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,920
I don't know if that fits.

764
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:01,920
The next one.

765
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:02,920
Yeah, go on.

766
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:04,040
Go on, Mike.

767
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,760
I kind of like this next flag.

768
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:10,920
It's hot pink and then very bright like grass green and then sky blue.

769
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,740
And it's the polysexual flag.

770
00:40:12,740 --> 00:40:13,840
And it's only three colors.

771
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,440
So I think it's a pretty good design.

772
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:19,040
Yeah, no, I think it's a great design as far as that goes.

773
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:26,000
And it's unlike pansexuality, polysexuality is attraction to multiple genders, but not

774
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,000
all.

775
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,360
So I don't know how that's different than bisexuality, but it is.

776
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:37,440
Well, yeah, I mean, so I guess it just says even though it has masculine, masculine, feminine,

777
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:44,640
and then no gender or like other gender, you could be man, woman, and you could fall in

778
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,840
love with a gender fluid, but not a gender flex.

779
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,840
So it's kind of like this is getting very complicated.

780
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:51,840
I know.

781
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,400
Yeah, I'm not very complicated.

782
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,480
I'm just to wrap my head around it as well.

783
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,280
The next one is a gender.

784
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,920
Well gender, people bend the rules of gender, a gender reject gender completely.

785
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,640
So they've got black and white stripes for absence of gender and then green, which is

786
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:11,120
the inverse of the gender heavy purple represents non binary genders.

787
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:12,840
Easy said, I don't I don't know.

788
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,440
It looks like a like a beach towel.

789
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,080
Like you would probably bring this to the beach.

790
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,320
Yeah, looks like a shitty beach towel, be honest with you.

791
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:20,320
But whatever.

792
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,200
Yeah, you'd get it at the Walmart bin for eight bucks or something.

793
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:27,680
Yeah, this is what you'd get in an emergency if you forgot a beach towel and you were at

794
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:28,680
the dollar.

795
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,920
You'd go in and this would be the thing you got.

796
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:31,920
Exactly.

797
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,640
So a romantic flag.

798
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,800
This one's marginally better than the last one, but not by much.

799
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,480
It's got some green on top and black on the bottom.

800
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:41,480
Yeah, I'll go ahead and whatever.

801
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:48,280
I was going to say like a romantic the description here they put was the a romantic flags use

802
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,320
green to celebrate people who live without romantic attraction.

803
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,840
So the way they word it sounds kind of depressing and maybe it is depressing.

804
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:55,840
I don't know.

805
00:41:55,840 --> 00:42:01,320
But I guess a romantic is you don't you don't get romantically attracted to people.

806
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:02,320
I guess so.

807
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:03,320
All right.

808
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:04,960
The next one is non binary.

809
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,320
We know what non binary is.

810
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,200
We talked about that earlier.

811
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:13,560
This one would kind of have a place here in Minnesota because it's purple and yellow and

812
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,840
Viking colors for the NFL team.

813
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:17,840
I thought the same thing.

814
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,920
It looks like a Viking flag.

815
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,200
You know, and OK, this next one, you take this next one.

816
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,600
This is oh, wow, should should should fit in here.

817
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,360
But the pony flag.

818
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,880
This is way too much.

819
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,600
It's got some horseshoes and the green in the middle and there's black and blue stripes

820
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,000
like the cop flag.

821
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,920
Yeah.

822
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,640
So this is for people.

823
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,120
It's a fetish where people are treated like horses by wearing hooves, ears and saddles

824
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:45,480
and pulling carts.

825
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:52,280
Again, I feel like this is kind of like the the the rubber and the leather like pinks.

826
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:56,200
Like I don't know that this is really this is, you know, I mean, there's there's not

827
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,360
a flag for missionary sex.

828
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:04,440
This is I don't I don't think this is unlike the others.

829
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:08,040
Even even the BDSM flag is all different than pony.

830
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:17,240
Yeah, I would say I would say at least at least this one doesn't have the isn't like

831
00:43:17,240 --> 00:43:21,400
a direct rip off of the just a standard pride flag.

832
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:22,400
Right.

833
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:23,400
That is true.

834
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:24,480
Actually, it is a little different with it.

835
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,440
It looks like a collegiate football team flag is what it looks like.

836
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:28,440
Yeah, yeah.

837
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,120
It could just be a small collegiate football team flag and we would never know.

838
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:33,120
Yeah.

839
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:39,160
I think the one that this next one is the the one Mike and I fly all the time straight

840
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,240
ally flag ally flag.

841
00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:46,080
So it's the flag equivalent of I support LGBT people, but no homo.

842
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,200
I don't know that that's I don't I don't know.

843
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,200
This is very nice.

844
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:51,920
Yeah, I know.

845
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,840
This one makes everyone feel included at pride marches, but no homo, even if they're celebrating

846
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,680
other people's sexualities, but no homo.

847
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,600
It's a weird I don't know why they put that in there.

848
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:00,800
The no homo thing.

849
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,680
Yeah, they're not recruiting.

850
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:03,680
Right.

851
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:04,680
So here's the inverse.

852
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,120
This next one is the inverse of the lipstick lesbian.

853
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:09,120
You take this one, Mike.

854
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:10,560
Oh, the butch lesbian flag.

855
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,760
And this one's kind of lame.

856
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,960
It's just blues and purples and some grays.

857
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:20,000
And it's created in 16, you know, because everybody's got their own flag.

858
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:25,620
And it's very similar to the lipstick lesbian flag, but not as clever, I don't think.

859
00:44:25,620 --> 00:44:26,620
So there we go.

860
00:44:26,620 --> 00:44:27,620
Yeah.

861
00:44:27,620 --> 00:44:28,620
Oh, two-spirit.

862
00:44:28,620 --> 00:44:33,560
So this one, we might have we might have a bit of unpack here.

863
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:34,600
The two-spirit flag.

864
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,360
So the two feathers, that's the basic pride flag.

865
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:41,640
And then they put some feathers on there from the native tribes, as you think.

866
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,520
So the feathers represent masculine and feminine.

867
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,200
In the circle is the combination of both into one.

868
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:52,080
And it says before Europeans colonized indigenous lands in North America and enforced a gender

869
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:56,600
binary, many Native American tribes recognize the third gender, which is today called two-spirit.

870
00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:00,880
So I guess I don't know if that's historically accurate or not.

871
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,500
It wouldn't surprise me.

872
00:45:02,500 --> 00:45:09,320
It seems it's more complicated than that because like the Pueblo Indians had seven recognized

873
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:15,600
genders and we don't really know a whole lot about a lot of the tribes because they were

874
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:22,000
destroyed before their society started writing down their cultural heritage.

875
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,000
You know what I mean?

876
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:27,520
So we know about like the Pueblos and the Navajos because they had a written language

877
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:31,960
before European colonization and they saved a lot of their culture.

878
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:36,640
So we know that at least there they recognized more than two genders.

879
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:37,800
Okay.

880
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:44,000
And I do know kind of going back to the European colonizers and things and written language

881
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:50,920
is that we know quite a bit about some of the northern and eastern tribes because the

882
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:57,240
French missionaries and the French people would go and actually kind of like study these

883
00:45:57,240 --> 00:46:02,440
tribes and kind of write down what they learned and then sent that back to their king because

884
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:07,200
the people back in Europe were very interested, especially the king, because some of these

885
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:15,000
chiefs were just kind of described as kingly or being kings even though they really weren't

886
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,040
in terms of like practice and everything.

887
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:21,320
But you know, they also weren't writing about their gender politics.

888
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:22,600
No, they weren't.

889
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:23,600
They weren't writing.

890
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:28,320
So we have an imperfect snapshot of some of these tribes and we have very little snapshots

891
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,080
of some of these other tribes.

892
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,680
But I think what we do have, and this will be a topic for a different episode, but I

893
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:38,840
think what we do have shows that they were maybe a lot more progressive than anyone was

894
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,800
led to believe or gave them credit for.

895
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,960
They're probably a lot more progressive than the Europeans at least.

896
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:45,960
Yeah.

897
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:46,960
They were just in gender things.

898
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:51,640
I mean like how they governed themselves and things like that.

899
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,240
But that's neither here nor there.

900
00:46:53,240 --> 00:46:56,800
So this next one is the twink flag.

901
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:02,520
And so it's got the two Mars signs intertwined representing gay men and it's got a pink on

902
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,360
top, a yellow on bottom and a white in the middle.

903
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,600
The term refl...

904
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:09,600
The term refl...

905
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:10,600
Jesus.

906
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:11,760
I'm going to get this.

907
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,240
The term refers to slim, young, handsome hairless men.

908
00:47:15,240 --> 00:47:16,240
Yes.

909
00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:17,240
So that's that.

910
00:47:17,240 --> 00:47:20,440
It's basically the opposite of the bear.

911
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:21,440
There we go.

912
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:22,440
Yes it is.

913
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:23,800
And the flag's actually a really good design.

914
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:24,800
It's not bad.

915
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:25,800
It reminds me of Easter.

916
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:26,800
Yeah, it's not.

917
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:27,800
Yeah.

918
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:28,800
Yeah.

919
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:33,000
That's when all the twinks come out and leave eggs in the yard.

920
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,000
Hell yeah.

921
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,920
The demigirl flag.

922
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:37,400
I don't know what that means.

923
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:38,400
Okay.

924
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:39,400
Let's look it up.

925
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:40,400
Yeah.

926
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:44,520
The demigirl flag is a symbol for those who identify as either demigirl or as a demigirl

927
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,280
or demigender or as a demigirl.

928
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,960
Demi girls are those who identify partially as women.

929
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:50,960
Okay.

930
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:55,760
The flag was created by Tumblr user Trans Rants and 15.

931
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,600
So this is another variation of the gay pride flag.

932
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:03,040
And then we have Demi Boy, which is the exact same except pink is blue.

933
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:04,040
Of course.

934
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:05,200
Yeah, of course.

935
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,000
And it was the same person at the same time.

936
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,440
Ooh, the Detroit flag.

937
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:16,160
This is people who are represents those who identify as gender neutral.

938
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:17,160
Okay.

939
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:22,720
Yeah, there's some politics with gender neutral and a gender.

940
00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:26,720
This one's white, green and black that easily could be a country flag.

941
00:48:26,720 --> 00:48:27,720
Yeah.

942
00:48:27,720 --> 00:48:28,720
All right.

943
00:48:28,720 --> 00:48:30,760
The next one is by gender.

944
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:31,760
I think it's by gender.

945
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:32,760
They didn't hyphenated.

946
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:33,760
It could be big ender.

947
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:34,760
I don't know.

948
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:35,760
By gender.

949
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:41,440
The by gender pride flag represents those who identify as two genders, whether male and

950
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:45,080
female or some combination of non binary genders.

951
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:46,080
Interesting.

952
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:50,580
And that's just another smorgasbord of colors in the same pride configuration that we're

953
00:48:50,580 --> 00:48:51,580
used to.

954
00:48:51,580 --> 00:48:57,480
The trans inclusive gay men's pride flag is another variant on the traditional pride

955
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:01,280
flag except they added a lot more bars or lines in there.

956
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:08,040
So gay men that want to also be inclusive of non cisgender gay men.

957
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,120
And I think that wraps up our flags.

958
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:16,620
So we'll put this link in the episode description like we said earlier.

959
00:49:16,620 --> 00:49:20,760
So you can go through and look at that or if you're curious or interested.

960
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:27,200
I don't know how many of these flags are actually used in practice.

961
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:31,120
Some of them sound good in theory, but I don't know, because I haven't seen a lot of these.

962
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:37,040
Either of I I've only ever seen I might have seen the two spirit flag.

963
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:38,440
Maybe I can't remember.

964
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:44,680
But the only one I know for a fact is that just traditional gay pride flag for sure.

965
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:45,680
Yeah.

966
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:50,760
So one last story from Pride Fest that I wanted to share.

967
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:55,400
And this is one of the things that kind of kicked a lot of this off was one of the best

968
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:56,960
shirts that I saw there.

969
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:01,200
Because you know, you go and people wear graphic tees and it's like end homophobia and and

970
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,280
you know, everyone's welcome and different things like that.

971
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:08,120
There's one guy and he was wearing this shirt and it said in real big letters, I like my

972
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,080
whiskey straight, but my friends can come as they are.

973
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:12,080
Right.

974
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,560
That's very that's a very cute shirt.

975
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,360
Yeah, I like that one.

976
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:17,360
No, it's good.

977
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:21,240
And that's partly why I broke out the whiskey for this episode.

978
00:50:21,240 --> 00:50:22,240
Oh, yeah.

979
00:50:22,240 --> 00:50:29,840
But yeah, I mean, I had no idea there that many different kind of like subgroups or subcategories.

980
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:36,040
No, most of them are very recent flag designs.

981
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:39,960
You know, there for 20 years, there was only the gay pride flag, you know?

982
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,440
Yeah, because like the first one was like in the late 70s.

983
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,700
And then a lot of the other ones are kind of like 90s, late 90s.

984
00:50:46,700 --> 00:50:52,880
And then and of all these other ones with more trans and inclusivity or whatever, we're,

985
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,880
you know, 2015 and newer.

986
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:56,880
Right.

987
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:57,880
Yeah, yeah.

988
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,680
They get more and more and more specific as time goes on, obviously.

989
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:07,360
So yeah, interesting, which is interesting, because generally when you're when you have

990
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:12,000
a cause and you're trying to rally support for the cause, you want the most inclusive

991
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,800
thing to rally everybody together under.

992
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:15,800
Right.

993
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,240
And then you're not going to have an idea or banner or or whatever, because if you get

994
00:51:19,240 --> 00:51:24,360
too fragmented out there, then there's, you know, like fighting between groups and it's

995
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,160
a less clear message.

996
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:27,160
Right.

997
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:35,440
Well, we just have to consider that early on, everybody had all the non heterosexual people

998
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,280
had to get underneath one flag to get their rights.

999
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:43,160
And then the Supreme Court made decisions and allowed protections for homosexuals and

1000
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,600
allowed protections for transgender people.

1001
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:50,220
The more they the less they had to fight for and the more they started to splinter off,

1002
00:51:50,220 --> 00:51:55,840
you know, and I'm sure that once gay marriage was legalized, which would have been what

1003
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:56,840
year was it?

1004
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:57,840
I'll have to look it up.

1005
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:58,840
Sixteen.

1006
00:51:58,840 --> 00:51:59,840
I want to say so.

1007
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:02,840
I'm going to look it up.

1008
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:03,840
All right.

1009
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:04,840
Fifteen.

1010
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:05,840
Okay.

1011
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:06,840
Fifteen.

1012
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:07,840
Yes.

1013
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:11,000
So that makes a lot of sense then.

1014
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,000
Yeah.

1015
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,960
Because all these new flags started coming out right after gay marriage got legal.

1016
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:16,960
Yep.

1017
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:21,960
So they didn't need to have the solidarity anymore because the gay people got what they

1018
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:22,960
wanted, you know?

1019
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:26,120
Yeah, they achieved their combined mission, I guess.

1020
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:27,120
Right.

1021
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:33,320
In the late 90s makes sense too, because in the 90s, the Supreme Court decided that employers

1022
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:38,240
couldn't discriminate against homosexuals and that people, renters couldn't be discriminated

1023
00:52:38,240 --> 00:52:41,000
against for their gender identity and all sorts of things like that.

1024
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,840
So yeah, it makes sense.

1025
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:50,120
So every time there's an advancement, there's a splinter group that wants their cut of the

1026
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,000
pie, which is good, you know, I guess in its own way.

1027
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:54,000
Yeah.

1028
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,120
I mean, that says it should be like, you know, we've talked about this before is the government

1029
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:01,600
shouldn't be precluding people from doing things as long as you're not harming somebody

1030
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:02,600
else, right?

1031
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:03,600
Right.

1032
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:04,600
Yeah.

1033
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:05,600
The government is not a moral actor.

1034
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:09,840
So they're not the arbiter of truth and they're not the arbiter of moral correctness.

1035
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:10,840
Yes.

1036
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:12,600
So yes, yes.

1037
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,240
I am nearing the end of this cigar.

1038
00:53:14,240 --> 00:53:15,600
Shockingly near as well.

1039
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:19,600
Yeah, I figured you were because you took took a couple of flags in a row and I was like,

1040
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,640
I'll catch up while he's talking.

1041
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:22,640
I did.

1042
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:29,560
I did take the couple of flags in a row because I'm like, I'm going to be done too early.

1043
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:30,560
That never happens.

1044
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,960
Yeah, but never happens.

1045
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,960
Just ask my wife.

1046
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:37,720
Ka-ching.

1047
00:53:37,720 --> 00:53:42,920
I have to say, looking at these, there's a lot of lazy design work in these flags.

1048
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:49,440
Like they really just took that one person, Harvey Milk and Gilbert Baker's design and

1049
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,600
they really just kind of ran with it.

1050
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:53,880
Yeah, so they certainly did.

1051
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:57,120
And I still think the winner is that what was it?

1052
00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:02,200
The Landis or Labris, Labris, the Labris lesbian flag.

1053
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:03,200
That one was awesome.

1054
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:07,200
Now that one is like I say that you could damn near have that at any event.

1055
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:08,200
You know what I mean?

1056
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:13,880
That could be your LARPing club flag.

1057
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,560
That could be like your guild in a game flag.

1058
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,600
Yeah, no, that's a great flag.

1059
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:24,840
Like I say, I can see that being behind people's motorcycles and they're driving up and down

1060
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:26,160
the road like mad men.

1061
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:27,160
Oh yeah.

1062
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:28,160
Or mad women.

1063
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,360
I see a lot of women riding motorcycles now.

1064
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:31,360
More than men.

1065
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:32,360
Oh, OK.

1066
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:33,360
Yeah, I don't get it.

1067
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,880
I mean, I don't know why I never noticed it before or maybe it's a new trend.

1068
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:37,880
Yeah, it could be.

1069
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:38,880
I don't know.

1070
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,080
I'd have to keep my eyes open when I'm out and about.

1071
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:42,520
Yeah, keep your eyes peeled, man.

1072
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,640
I see more women than men nowadays riding bikes.

1073
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:49,360
So that's more power to them, I suppose, you know, whatever.

1074
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:50,360
Yeah.

1075
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:51,360
All right.

1076
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,840
Was there anything else you want to talk about or do you want to do final thoughts on the

1077
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:54,840
stick?

1078
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:56,320
Yeah, we can do some final thoughts.

1079
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:57,320
It's good.

1080
00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:58,520
It had to be.

1081
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:00,720
It was very temperature sensitive, though.

1082
00:55:00,720 --> 00:55:04,200
I had to be really careful not to puff too fast because it got sour.

1083
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:05,200
Yeah.

1084
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:06,200
But it came back.

1085
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:07,200
You know what I mean?

1086
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,840
It would get a little sour and then I'd slow it down and it would start to taste really

1087
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:16,840
good and it was sharp, sharp, but medium bodied, you know, and a small amount for me, at least

1088
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:18,960
a small amount of transition.

1089
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,040
But there was there was that kind of in the middle.

1090
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:23,040
I liked it.

1091
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:27,000
I don't I don't know if it's as good as some of the other ones that we had in the Gurkha

1092
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,460
line.

1093
00:55:29,460 --> 00:55:34,600
I don't think it's I mean, I wouldn't purposefully buy it again, but it wasn't bad either.

1094
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,480
You know, no, it wasn't bad.

1095
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:38,280
It's very it's very fine.

1096
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:39,280
It was tasty.

1097
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:43,000
It just I think it comes down to kind of like more of the flavor profiles that you and I

1098
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:44,000
enjoy.

1099
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,600
Yeah, it's different than what we normally smoke.

1100
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:47,600
It was good, though.

1101
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:49,080
Yeah, it wasn't bad.

1102
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:50,080
Yeah.

1103
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:55,560
If if people are going for more of like a bitey medium bodied cigar, I would suggest

1104
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:57,240
this for sure.

1105
00:55:57,240 --> 00:55:58,240
Yes.

1106
00:55:58,240 --> 00:55:59,240
So.

1107
00:55:59,240 --> 00:56:05,480
All right, do you have a favorite Gurkha that we smoked the past few episodes here?

1108
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:06,480
Oh, geez.

1109
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:07,880
Now I'd have to try to remember.

1110
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,640
I think the Centurion was the torpedo, wasn't it?

1111
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:12,280
I believe so.

1112
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:13,280
Let's look.

1113
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:17,920
I'll just I'll pull up our list here and then we can see what we smoked so we can remember.

1114
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:18,920
Yes.

1115
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,880
So I know I'm trying to remember here what we did.

1116
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:28,120
We had one where it was interesting, interesting.

1117
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:35,080
So OK, so we did the OK, so we did the Gurkha crest, the Centurion, the vintage 2001.

1118
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,040
We did the beauty and the beast.

1119
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:38,220
Yes.

1120
00:56:38,220 --> 00:56:42,520
So I remember we what we didn't like the beauty, did we?

1121
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,400
No, we did not care for the beauty.

1122
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:45,400
We did like the beast.

1123
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:46,400
We like the beast.

1124
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,960
I had stuff to say.

1125
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:51,960
There's one that I like better.

1126
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:55,600
Well, what the hell is the one that we quit halfway through?

1127
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:56,600
You think so?

1128
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:58,320
We quit one of them halfway through.

1129
00:56:58,320 --> 00:56:59,320
It might have been the crest.

1130
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:00,320
I know.

1131
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:01,320
I think so.

1132
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:05,880
In the crest, we had a lot of like tech issues as well, which have since been resolved.

1133
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,000
It wasn't on our end.

1134
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,720
It was the platform that we're using to record.

1135
00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:14,400
I guess one of the browsers made it and it made an update change that kind of tweaked

1136
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:15,880
how things worked.

1137
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:17,200
But we were struggling that episode.

1138
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:22,160
And then I think between that and how bad the cigar was, we were like, we're not even

1139
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:23,640
going to try the rest of it.

1140
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:28,040
Yeah, because that stick is still in my ashtray and I have three and a half inches left of

1141
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:29,040
it.

1142
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:30,680
Yeah, and that doesn't sound like you.

1143
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:31,680
No, no, no.

1144
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,240
I usually smoke them all the way down for sure.

1145
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,600
So very rarely do we have that.

1146
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:40,480
If you have more of those, that might be a good tequila cigar.

1147
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,480
I don't think I have any more.

1148
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:44,480
Thank God.

1149
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,040
Okay, well then don't buy any more.

1150
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:47,040
Don't buy them.

1151
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,640
No, no, no, no.

1152
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:51,880
The Bin Maduro is way better than that.

1153
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:52,880
Yeah.

1154
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:53,880
So.

1155
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:59,520
But yeah, the Titan was good, better than submarine, apparently experimental.

1156
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:00,520
Yeah.

1157
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:04,360
So do you want to talk about that briefly or should we save that for another episode?

1158
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:05,360
Oh, yeah.

1159
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,240
Well, the time that this is not a whole lot to be in the past.

1160
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:09,240
Yeah.

1161
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,040
A bunch of billionaires died in an experimental craft.

1162
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:15,000
Yeah, because he didn't want to hire boring 50 year old sub experts.

1163
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:20,440
He wanted to hire inspiring diversity hires and use carbon fiber, I guess.

1164
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:21,440
Yeah.

1165
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:24,280
And safety is not cost effective.

1166
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:25,280
Right.

1167
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:26,280
That guy had a lot of crazy quotes.

1168
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,280
So you get what you get.

1169
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,120
Yeah, you get what you get.

1170
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:35,560
It's interesting that the big news conglomerates are kind of slamming most of the rest of the

1171
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:40,280
people in the on the planet saying, you know, good riddance, let's get some more orcas to

1172
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,960
take down some more luxury yachts.

1173
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:46,800
Let's send more billionaires to the bottom of the sea.

1174
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:53,200
Because by and large, the average person who's not in the ruling class, a billionaire, doesn't

1175
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,520
much care for billionaires.

1176
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:57,320
And I don't think it's weird.

1177
00:58:57,320 --> 00:58:58,320
It's weird.

1178
00:58:58,320 --> 00:58:59,320
It's weird.

1179
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:04,440
The false sense of self the billionaires have like, oh, we're God's gift to humanity.

1180
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:08,240
Why are why is everybody cheering when five of us implode at the bottom of the sea?

1181
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:09,240
I wonder.

1182
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:14,680
I did see an interesting conspiracy theory where it was that the billionaires didn't

1183
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:21,240
actually implode at the bottom of the sea, but they're now on Epstein Island.

1184
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:27,080
I saw that as well, but they called it Caligula's Island.

1185
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:29,240
Okay.

1186
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:34,480
So for those people who don't know the Caligula story, look it up real quick for yourself.

1187
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:36,240
It's awesome.

1188
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,840
So Roman Emperor Caligula, that is.

1189
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:40,840
Yes.

1190
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:43,960
I don't know if there's any other Caligula's out there, but

1191
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:44,960
who knows?

1192
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:47,960
He probably had a better flag than some of these communities.

1193
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,160
I'm guessing so.

1194
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,080
But yeah.

1195
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:57,480
Well, anyway, don't get into any Pringle cans to go to the bottom of the ocean with your

1196
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,960
rich friends and we'll catch you next week.

1197
00:59:59,960 --> 01:00:14,640
Be safe, have fun.
