1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,720 Welcome to Nice Ashes, I'm Nate. And I'm Mike. What are we smoking today, Nate? Boy, oh boy. 2 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:19,880 I wish I knew, Mike. I wish I knew. This is a Rico Burrato, and it's a torpedo, and it 3 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:25,840 looks like a somewhat lighter wrapper. It is. I, of course, forgot to look it up because 4 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:33,520 we always ask these questions. But I will look it up here, internet the show. Yeah, 5 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:39,120 sometimes they'll say on the little sticker, is this the Rico Burrato Connecticut torpedo? 6 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:45,880 Yeah, I believe it is. Okay, that looks to be what it is. I was going to look it up because it is, 7 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:54,960 in fact, the Rico Burrato Connecticut torpedo. Yes. That you can get for $3.64. Nice. 8 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,840 Nice. Nice. Nice. All right. What are you pairing your cigar with today? 9 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:10,760 I am pairing my cigar with a Ven Brewing Northodox. It is a New England IPA with Citra, 10 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:17,840 Simcoe, and Mosaic hops, I guess. What about you? I am pairing mine with a Berserk Squirrel, 11 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,480 which is by Big Axe Brewing in Niswa. Oh, nice. They apparently won an award for it. 12 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,720 So there you go. Always good to know if it's award winning, that is, you know. 13 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:34,040 Right. Right. That's why I bought it. Yeah. Marketing, man. All right. Should we fire these up? 14 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:40,520 Absolutely. I mean, that's why we're here, right? I'm getting very strong acetone. Very strong. 15 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:47,040 Are you? It is not pleasant at all to me. Yeah. The very first puff was kind of the standard, 16 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:53,760 nutty Connecticut initial flavors, but the, I don't know, the couple puffs after that does 17 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:59,880 leave a very not pleasant taste on the tongue. Also, I want to say that normally the end is 18 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:05,960 like, even though it's got the tobacco there and you light right there, usually it's like flat, 19 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:11,680 and mine had like one or two, I don't know, beyond the cut as it were. So it kind of looked, 20 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,800 it doesn't, I'm sure it doesn't affect anything, but it, you know, I guess we try to talk about 21 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,360 some of these like quality things and quality control things, if it's splitting or doing 22 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,640 anything else goofy. So some of the, the filling, I guess, was either not cut all the way or some 23 00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:30,720 of it was kind of falling out a bit. So I'm not going to lie. It's not looking good so far. 24 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:41,680 Well, it's been a while since I lit a cigar and I'm like, I don't know about that. Yeah. Well, 25 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,480 you know what? There's been plenty of other cigars we've smoked where the first, I don't know, 26 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,760 inch or so maybe half inch to an inch has been less than the desirable, but then it kind of comes 27 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:58,160 into its own. So here's hoping. Yeah, we're going to give it a chance. Yeah. Is this its own brand? 28 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:06,160 Is it owned by somebody else? Ah, it's far as I know, they are kind of their own brand. Okay. 29 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:12,160 They make cheap cigars and all that. The problem with that is that it's probably not. Probably not 30 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:19,520 what it is American Viking cigars economy brand. So it is owned by American Viking cigars. Oh, 31 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:26,320 okay. And we'll see what they all own. So cigars daily, the Filky Viking. So they have a whole 32 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:32,160 series of cigars, most of which I have never smoked. Okay. Some of them have looked pretty 33 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,880 good. You know, I'd smoke some of these. They have a really interesting looking barber pole 34 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:42,000 that I wouldn't mind smoking, but I'm always down to smoke a barber pole. Yeah. Yeah. I just look 35 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,240 at the package at a truck stop. No, I'm just kidding. Not that. So Nate, I think it's my topic 36 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:57,600 today. It's your topic, right? Yeah. What is your topic? Should I tell you? Well, I told Nate it's 37 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:05,520 a meme and it is. So yeah, does it involve McDonald's? It does not. I heard he gave someone 38 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,920 a seventh chicken nugget in the six piece chicken nugget. Well, you know, you can't trust those 39 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:16,960 felon reform work programs. Yeah. Yeah. No, we're going to talk about today is trans maxing. All 40 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,600 right. Have you heard of trans maxing? I've heard of it. Honestly, there's so many new words these 41 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:29,200 days, right? That I might just get a refresher on what exactly it is. But I learned one today 42 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:35,440 called skabity. Yeah. Skabity toilet. Is it skabity or skibity? I don't know. I think it's skibity. 43 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:41,040 I just wanted to be funny. So trans maxing is the practice of adopting aspects of transgender 44 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:47,120 identity explicitly for personal gain. This can be done with or without hormones, medical diagnosis, 45 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,240 or legal changes. And the benefits that the individual perceives depends on the person. 46 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,080 Okay. Yeah. So is this like when you sent me that video of the weightlifter who 47 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,360 claimed to be female and went in and broke the women's world record and then kind of like walked 48 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:09,520 out just to not to get the medal, but just to kind of prove how silly it is. If he was trying to get 49 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:15,200 the medal legitimately, that's what trans maxing would be. Okay, sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So we'll 50 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:21,520 talk about specific examples when we get there, obviously. But yeah, I would say that like the 51 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,720 person that he was protesting against has been accused of trans maxing. I didn't think he was 52 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,280 protesting against anybody. I thought it was just because this one weightlifting championship let 53 00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:36,320 you come and compete as anybody and they didn't do any sort of tests or they didn't have any 54 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,920 regulations on how long the person had or hadn't been on hormones or whatever. You know, a lot of 55 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:47,120 times that was the reason, but there was a specific person that caused the controversy. And now I 56 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:52,560 can't remember their name. Oh, sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So trans maxing, and we've talked about 57 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,920 this concept on the show, trans maxing started off as a meme on the internet. It was big on 4chan 58 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:05,040 back in the day and on Tumblr and there's a big Reddit forum or Reddit thread for it. And this 59 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:10,480 was a joke during the early days of the internet. I'm sure you recall the jokes about that, you 60 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,200 know, how somebody was going to write down that they were some minority person on a job 61 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:21,680 application. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So trans maxing was originally a 4chan joke. And then they 62 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:29,360 joke that now because our society has moved to a place where we don't question gender reassignment 63 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,560 that people are actually doing in real life, which should surprise no one. Yeah. That is not 64 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:42,240 surprising jokes becoming reality a la idiocracy, unfortunately is becoming more and more common. 65 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:47,920 Right. I saw a good video. I don't know if you saw this video, Mike, it was a traffic stop in 66 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:55,360 California and the police officer asked the driver of the vehicle if they had a valid license, 67 00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,640 as a police officer often does. And the driver of the vehicle said they didn't have a driver's 68 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:07,440 license because they identified as a cat. And so the police officer said, well, does your 69 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,560 boyfriend in the car, cause they're two, what appeared to be and looks can be deceiving and 70 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,440 yada yada, appeared to be two men in the car. And so the officer asked, well, does your boyfriend 71 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:24,560 have a license? Does he have your license? And then the cat got upset and was like, I don't, 72 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,720 I don't like the language you're using, the gendered language. And the police officer was like, 73 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:34,480 I'm not trying to offend anybody. And then the, the other one was like, no, we're not, 74 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:40,240 we're not a couple. He's a cat and I'm his owner. And, and so then the police officer said, okay, 75 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:45,600 you can either show me your identification or I'm going to call the pound and have them collect your 76 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,800 cat and you will need to pay a $70 feed to collect your cat from the, from the shelter, 77 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,920 but it'll only be released after getting its vaccinations and probably spayed or neutered, 78 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:02,720 your choice. And, and they were like, wait, $70 is too much to afford. He's like, well, 79 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,920 then give me your license so I can write you a ticket and be on my way. Yeah. The world is 80 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:13,440 Looney Tunes. I did not see that video. But the surprisingly the police officer, I thought handled 81 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,840 it pretty, pretty decently because he was not upset at them. And he was like, well, okay, 82 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,840 if you identify as a cat, a cat's not supposed to be driving a car. So that's endangering the cat. 83 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,360 So I have to call the shelter to put the cat in the shelter and then you'll have to go pay the fee 84 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,600 to get the cat out of the shelter, but they'll have to make sure it's up to date on its immunizations 85 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,800 and that it's spayed and neutered or, you know, whichever. And, uh, just kind of using logic to 86 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:41,040 defuse the situation, I suppose. Right. Oh, that's great. So the first person we're going to talk 87 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:47,280 about that's identified self-identified as a trans maxer is Josh Cedar. Have you heard of Josh 88 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:54,000 Cedar? Nope. All right. So he apparently was a contestant on a game show called the bachelorette. 89 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:59,120 I've heard of the bachelorette. Okay. I have as well. And that's the only reason why I looked it 90 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:05,200 up. He came out this week, the week of recording that he was fake being trans for the last half 91 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:12,880 a year. Okay. And, uh, the media was fake outraged, of course, and there's multiple articles, 92 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,120 mainstream articles. And I read one by the New York post. And there's a few others from a few 93 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:23,920 months ago saying how brave he, how brave she was and attacking online people for calling him a 94 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:29,360 faker, you know, and he came out as a faker, right? But he came out as a faker now. Yeah. 95 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,480 These articles are now three, four months ago. Yeah. He came up this week as a faker. And, uh, 96 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:39,120 of course the internet forums were always questioning his story. And now there's, of course 97 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,920 there's backlash because it's, he was stealing trans identity or something like that. But so like, 98 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:50,000 what did he gain from it? He is a conservative and he wanted to do a political stunt against 99 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:56,480 the wacky left. Okay. Those are, those are his words, not mine, by the way. Yeah. Yeah. Did him, 100 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,920 did him, I mean, cause everybody knew he was conservative. Everybody knew. I don't think so. 101 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:07,920 He was like a tattooed muscle guy on a game show, right? Like a dating show. Okay. Sure. So, 102 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:15,600 but I mean, so being on the Bachelorette is likely going to make you popular, popular enough in 103 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:22,640 certain segments of the country, right? Or the demographics not popular with me, but I know 104 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,880 there's a certain demographic that watches that show. So you're going to have kind of the internet 105 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:34,000 fame anyway. So it really, maybe I guess he got some more followers because of that, but I think 106 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,840 it was more to know more as a stunt. It's like, I look how silly everybody is, but this instance 107 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:47,520 isn't the meat and potatoes of trans maxing, but it's what it's one of the more recent ones, 108 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,320 I guess, right? It's one of the more recent ones. And it kind of triggered me to get back into the 109 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:58,880 topic because I wrote this down like a year and a half ago. Oh, okay. Yeah. We have a vastly 110 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,960 different internet search histories. I feel Mike, yeah, probably, probably. 111 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:10,480 So now here's a real deal trans maxer, and this is an Ecuadorian journalist named Renee 112 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:19,200 Salineras Ramos. Have you heard of this person? I have not. So Mr. Ramos is a 47 year old Ecuadorian 113 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:27,520 journalist who legally changed her gender to female in 2022. Okay. She is not undergoing any 114 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,320 hormone therapy, has no desire to, and has one purpose for changing her gender. Can you guess 115 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:37,920 what it is? And has done what for changing her gender? Oh, has undergone no surgery or any 116 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:44,240 psychiatric evaluation and has one reason for changing the gender. Why do you think Ramos is 117 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:50,560 changing her gender? And a journalist. And a journalist. Yep. 47 year old, formerly male, 118 00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:55,760 journalist. Who is in Ecuador? In Ecuador, yeah. And does it have anything to do with, 119 00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:01,680 okay, first guess is does it have anything to do with like better benefits? Or number two, 120 00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:04,560 they're the first ones off the ship, right? When the ship goes down. 121 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:13,600 Well, as it happens to be, Renee is in a child custody battle and women usually get custody of 122 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:20,160 their children. And Renee Ramos would like split custody of their children with their ex-wife. 123 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:29,760 Okay. Yeah. Well, so how is... Go ahead. But I don't... Okay. So this one doesn't seem to be 124 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:35,840 like nefarious reasons really. Transmaxing, pretending to be trans to get your own gain, 125 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:44,880 I guess that fits the bill, but it's not like it's a prank against the woke laughter. They're a 126 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:53,440 sports athlete. So if they identify as female, then maybe they can still win. It's taking... 127 00:12:54,160 --> 00:13:00,000 And so even Ecuador, here in America, women generally get the custody too. So I don't know 128 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:05,600 that I have an issue with this one. I don't have an issue with it at all. It's kind of 129 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:11,440 hilarious. So the stats are that... I don't know, the stats... And this isn't the point of the 130 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:18,400 episode, but the stats for having an active father in a child's life show that that's beneficial. 131 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:25,920 Absolutely. So I feel like the custody of kids thing is one of those laws... I don't know if 132 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,320 it's a law, but one of those court preferences that needs to be updated to modern times, because 133 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:36,320 I think it's silly to say, well, the kids should be with the mom. I agree. I think everybody... 134 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,720 Everybody agrees, but a lot of people agree with that. Yeah. I mean, it depends on, of course, 135 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,600 the dad and the mom, right? But you can have deadbeat dads and abusive dads, and you can have 136 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:51,360 deadbeat moms and abusive moms. So... I agree. So... And of course, Renee, just as a closer, 137 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:57,760 has received multiple threats and has very significant backlash for their actions. Yeah. 138 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:06,880 Well, they're also in Ecuador. Right. I mean, it's like the Olympic athlete that everybody 139 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:13,600 thought was trans. Yeah. Yeah. I can remember her name now. Yeah. But they were from a restrictive 140 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:19,680 country that would not take favorably to that. So... No. So now there's another case, and this 141 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:27,760 individual's name is Sammy. And BBC4 did a mini documentary on Sammy. Sammy was a very thin, 142 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:35,040 balding gay man who transitioned to being a woman, not because she or he was confused, 143 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:41,200 but because the HRT would allow him to regrow some of his hair and get dates with men more easily. 144 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:47,760 Okay. Sammy also said that he had cheaper... She had cheaper car insurance and that getting promoted 145 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:53,920 at her job was easier. Yeah. All those things are valid, I suppose. Yeah. And that's... This is like 146 00:14:53,920 --> 00:15:00,160 the... We're going to use this to jump into an article, but... Okay. This is like the stereotypical 147 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:08,720 transmaxer, the real life transmaxer, because... So Sammy's not necessarily getting any surgeries. 148 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,720 They just wanted the HRT to regrow hair. They wanted the HRT to regrow hair and to be able to 149 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:20,320 present as a woman to get dates with men. Oh, okay. Because as a thin, balding gay man, 150 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:26,160 he wasn't getting any dates. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So... And people are apparently very upset 151 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:31,040 with Sammy because... Well, why aren't they upset about the car insurance rates? Right? 152 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,960 Why aren't they mad that DEI policies means that Sammy is happy that he's a woman now? 153 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:43,760 Yeah. Well, I mean, let's just take it at the car insurance level. Why are men 154 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:49,200 having to pay more in car insurance if everything's equal? Right. And statistically, 155 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,920 women are worse drivers. We talked about this on the show too, but the crashes men have are 156 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,400 generally at higher speeds than the accidents women have. So even though women have more of 157 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:03,680 the accidents, they're at lower speed and less loss of life and limb, I guess. But still, those 158 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,640 statistics are fine, but we start bringing in other statistics and everybody's upset. Well, 159 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:14,960 only 50% of the facts matter. Okay. That's like your opinion, man. I will not take this aggression. 160 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,560 All right. Transmaxing, we need to get off the dude for a minute. Yep. Yes, we do. 161 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,600 So as you can imagine, it's really hard to find people who have admitted to transmaxing. Yeah. 162 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:37,120 But the Daily Caller felt it was okay to write an article about transmaxers and they 163 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:42,800 sourced anonymous incels who apparently are transitioning to get dates with women. 164 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,960 And this was repeated by the National Review. And you can read the article for yourself if 165 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:56,400 you really want to. But it's a very strange claim that supposed straight incel men are 166 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:01,760 transitioning to women to get date with straight women. It's very bizarre. How does that even, 167 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:07,920 how is that even supposed to work? I have no idea. I could understand if they were transitioning 168 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:14,800 to women to get dates with lesbian women, but how is a woman, are they going to get a date 169 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,520 with a straight woman? It's the National Review and the Daily Caller. I think that's the answer. 170 00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:26,880 I don't think they actually interviewed anybody. I think they wanted to play into the culture war 171 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,280 when there's like a handful of people who have admitted to doing it and it's really hard to find 172 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:37,360 them. And even some of them don't self admit even when they do. And they admitted they did it. And 173 00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:41,280 then they sat there and thought about it and they were like, actually, I haven't gotten any dates 174 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:47,200 with straight women as a woman. I don't know why I thought this would work. What have I done? Right. 175 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,600 Yeah. I don't think lesbians want to go on dates with trans women for the most part. Yeah. But 176 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,600 they're saying they want to go on dates with straight women. So, well, right. They just want 177 00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:00,480 to go on dates with women, I suppose. Yeah. I mean, you're going to be a trans woman trying 178 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,480 to date a straight woman. So not only do you have to find a straight woman, but you have to then 179 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:10,880 try and flip her to be a lesbian or something as if this was some kind of intergalactic game of 180 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:20,000 pawns and spice and my tune, my Arrakis, my lesbian space witches. No, that's Star Wars. I'm sorry. 181 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,320 Right. It's crazy. I think that the Daily Caller interviewed some 4Chaners. 182 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:30,960 Yeah. It was a prank competition. Mike. Yeah. Speaking about transitioning, 183 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,680 where are you at in your cigar? I'm glad you asked because I am about halfway. 184 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:42,000 Me too. Me too. I don't know that it's gotten any better. It hasn't gotten better, but my taste 185 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,880 buds are starting to die off. So it doesn't bother me as much. So it hasn't gotten worse, 186 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,920 but it has not gotten better. No, it's terrible. I haven't even been drinking out of the beer 187 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,560 because I don't want to make the beer taste bad. Oh, I've been drinking the beer quite heavily 188 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:04,800 because it tastes bad. Not the beer, the cigar. Oh, I do not recommend. I can already tell you 189 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:12,160 guys it's not going to get a good score. No, I would still rather at this point, at this point, 190 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,600 because I mean, there's still half of the stick that it could actually get worse, 191 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:20,000 but I would still smoke this before the cult blood red moon. Oh, certainly. Certainly. 192 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:26,560 Cult blood red moon was just offensive. This is not good, but it's, I mean, it's bad. 193 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:36,880 The cult blood red moon is a pile of garbage trans maxing as a cigar. It identifies as a cigar, 194 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:42,560 and you should not smoke it. It is, yeah, actively trying to harm you, I think is. 195 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:49,680 Something is trying to do something. Yeah, it's terrible. So there's two other people I would like 196 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:56,000 to discuss, and these are not necessarily trans maxers. One has been accused of trans maxing, 197 00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:02,160 and the other is known for something else. So people have accused Dylan Mulvaney of being a 198 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:10,960 trans maxer, believe it or not. And a lot of really hardcore feminists hate Dylan Mulvaney because she 199 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:17,280 exaggerates female stereotypes for clicks on the internet. And they use that as evidence that Dylan 200 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:25,200 is not in fact a genuine trans person. That and like the tampon stuff and the fame that she received. 201 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,640 From the Budweiser stuff or what? 202 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,000 From, ah, before that even, she was a guest to the Biden White House. 203 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:30,560 Okay. 204 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:36,720 Yeah. She became like a social media influencer based on the idea that she was transitioning and 205 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,560 documenting it live, right? 206 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:45,440 Yeah. I know that there are plenty of women out there who use the female stereotypes to their 207 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:52,320 advantage in situations when they think those stereotypes can be easily exploited to their 208 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:58,720 benefit. I'm thinking of, let's just say, predominantly white women in almost any interaction 209 00:20:58,720 --> 00:20:59,360 with the police. 210 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,080 You are being very kind in that example, but yes. 211 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:13,840 Right. And I also know that there are a ton of men that exploit male stereotypes to say, 212 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:21,600 get out of doing household chores perhaps or whatever they do, right? So why wouldn't a trans 213 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:29,040 woman also exploit female stereotypes? I guess. Right. And I don't know anything about Dylan 214 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:35,120 Mulvaney other than what we've talked about in the show and like the Bud Light stuff. And apparently 215 00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:40,480 they helped Bud Light sell a fuck ton of beer because all the conservative rednecks bought beer 216 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,800 to shoot with their shotguns. And Bud Light doesn't care if you're drinking it or shooting it. You 217 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:50,320 still bought it. So good for them for padding Budweiser's bottom line. 218 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:55,760 Yeah. I don't have anything against Dylan Mulvaney. And I'm not saying that Dylan is or is not a 219 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:56,560 transvaxxer. 220 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:03,840 No, I'm just pointing out some of the hypocrisy where it's like, well, if you're of this gender 221 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:09,120 from birth, you can exploit the stereotypes, but if you're not, then you can't. You can't trade 222 00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:13,760 your stereotypes for the new stereotypes of your new assigned gender or whatever. You know, it's 223 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,440 like, well, okay then. 224 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,840 Right. Well, Dylan's going to do, whether Dylan is legitimate or not is going to do the same 225 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:24,240 behavior because Dylan's the type of person that they are. So yeah, it's yeah. 226 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:24,880 But like I said- 227 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:29,600 You can't have it both ways. You can't say we need to accept all trans people, accept this one who's 228 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:34,240 using female stereotypes, even though they weren't born a female. Well, of course they can use 229 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:41,040 female stereotypes. That's why you have fucking drag queens and that's just men exploiting female 230 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:46,480 stereotypes for fun, not in like a nasty way, right? Like they're not, they're not a standup 231 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:52,320 comic or an incel in their mom's basement posting hateful things about women. They're just using 232 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,840 those stereotypes to get into character, to entertain people, right? 233 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:56,320 Right. 234 00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:03,840 As far as I know, I'm no drag queen, trans maxing expert, but you know, all of the ones that 235 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,400 all of the ones so far have sounded, it seemed pretty, pretty benign, you know, not like, 236 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:14,000 oh, this person claimed to be trans and they walked off with a declaration of independence somehow. 237 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,800 Right. And I, I grabbed high profile cases that were lighthearted because there's all these 238 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:24,480 apocryphal stories that don't actually have any evidence where it's like, oh, this scary man went 239 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:29,680 into the woman's bathroom with the wig on or whatever. Like that's, there's going to be crazy 240 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:34,080 people that do stuff no matter what. It's Halloween, Karen, just let them have their fun. 241 00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:38,240 Just kidding. It is not Halloween. 242 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,880 Yeah, there's psychos and predators. No matter what you do, you're never going to change that. 243 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:48,320 So yeah, that's more of a that person problem than it is like a trend or something. 244 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:54,240 Yeah. And just because the national media or even your local media picked something up, 245 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:59,040 doesn't mean it's an actual thing that's, that's happening widespread. 246 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,600 Oh, right. Stories, stories can be sensationalized and it happened like once. 247 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,960 Right. The, uh, transmaxing is definitely part of the culture war and it's, I view it as 248 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,720 entertainment because I don't know to what extent it's real. You know what I mean? 249 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:19,280 Yeah. It's as, it's as real as almost any other PR stunt out there. 250 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,240 Right. I guess. 251 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,560 Right. Yeah, I would say that's true. So I'm going to skip over the last one. I want to talk about, 252 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:31,280 she wasn't a transmaxer. It was Rachel Dolezal, uh, who, uh, claims to be trans racial, but, uh, 253 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,360 we don't need to get into that. That could be the one that pretended to be black. 254 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:42,720 Yes. Yeah. She was a head of the NAACP in like Washington. Yeah. Yeah. And she was a teacher. 255 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:48,400 And then she lost her job. So she moved down to Arizona and then she got fired again because 256 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:54,400 she started an only fans. Sure. And, uh, yeah, all this interesting stuff, which I think it's 257 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:59,120 unfair to her by the way, cause, uh, she's just trying to live her life. Oh, I mean, 258 00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:05,120 I don't think pretending to be black is a good thing if you're not for your job or whatever. 259 00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:10,080 Right. But if you want to go and start your own only fans later than who cares, I guess. 260 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,320 No, I mean, the question with Rachel Dolezal is I don't think that she was pretending to be black. 261 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:20,080 I mean, she like didn't associate with her family and, uh, she had like these kids and this husband 262 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,800 and this whole lifestyle based around like her identity as a black woman. So it's a very 263 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:30,640 interesting case study because I'm sure there's more depth to it than the media made out to be. 264 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:35,120 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't like some crazy lady. Like she was trying to do good things 265 00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:39,760 in her community and live a normal life. She just happened to be like a big nosed blonde woman from 266 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:48,160 Montana, I think, instead of a black woman. So always interesting. Yeah. Yeah. I guess that 267 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,880 one would probably require a little bit deeper dive. Um, cause I know the news media certainly 268 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,920 kind of took that one and ran with it. Like, Oh, the head of the NAACP is a white woman. 269 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,760 Oh yeah. It's, it's a great story on the face of it. Right. Yeah. 270 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:07,840 Like I'll, I have to say that for sure. Yeah. That's click bait that gets clicked. 271 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,960 Oh, right. So I would be a liar if I told you I didn't look up 272 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:20,240 Rachel Doll is our only fans to see if what was available. Cause why not? You know, 273 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,960 it's out there. It's out there, man. Yeah. You just do an image search and look at like two pictures 274 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:32,720 and you know what it's all about. Yeah. You do an image search or there's people that, uh, 275 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:38,480 there's a large group and I don't know, cause I don't really care, but there's a large group of 276 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:47,280 fighters out there on the internet that will find all of these girls only fans pages. They will 277 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:53,440 track down the real names and stuff, and then report them to the IRS and also make their content 278 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:59,600 available for free on different torrenting sites. I've heard of that. I have heard of that. So there 279 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:05,360 hasn't been anyone that I've heard of that's on only fans that I've been even moderately interested 280 00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:10,960 in trying to look up. So I just haven't, but I've seen, you know, memes or people talking about, 281 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,840 yeah, if you know, don't be a, oh, what do they call it? What do they call it when you, oh, 282 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:21,440 don't be a simp. Don't be a simp for an only fans girl, report them to the IRS, you know? So, 283 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:28,720 right. I've seen the memes. I've heard the stories. I've never looked up. I haven't had a torrent on 284 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:33,360 my computer for a very long time, man. I've never had a torrent on my computer. Really? Everyone 285 00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:39,280 hear that? Did everyone hear that? IRS heard that? FBI, you heard that? I've torrented the program 286 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:45,920 and nothing else. I don't even know how they work. I don't even know what it is, man. How does the 287 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:51,280 internet happen? It's impossible. I know in the nineties, I used to have to murder a robot to 288 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,920 get access to the internet because the thing would just scream at you. Oh, it was great. Yeah. 289 00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:02,480 Yeah. And then your mom wanted to make a call upstairs and like the, the JPEG was only half 290 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:09,920 loaded. So you couldn't even see the nipples, you know? Yep. Trying to download a 12 kilobyte file. 291 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:14,640 Yeah. 12 kilobyte Tom Selleck shirtless picture. Didn't even get to his nipples. 292 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,160 Oh my. So, uh, yeah, we're gonna, it was hard to find. 293 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:25,600 Got Mike distracted with Tom Selleck reference out of nowhere. He's like, what the fuck? 294 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:33,200 We went off the rails son. We're talking about trans maxing. Now Tom Selleck is here. 295 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,280 Oh, what the hell? He's not trans maxing. He's just maxing. Maxing. 296 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:48,320 So I looked up a document called the Trans Maxing Manifesto. Of course. And this was, 297 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:55,760 I'm sure it's similar to project 2025 in its scope and expert panel that contributed. 298 00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:02,080 It was referenced in the BBC channel four documentary. So he's like, oh, so this is 299 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:07,840 like mainstream media. Look this up. And it's a document that you can find on Scribd. And, 300 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:12,880 uh, we're going to go over the rules or the benefits of trans maxing. We're not going to 301 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:19,120 go over the whole document, but I will preload that the stories they tell about real life trans 302 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:25,280 maxers at the end are hilarious because I haven't like before and after pictures and be like me 303 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:30,160 trans max four months in there to be like a dude. And this woman that's clearly not that guy. 304 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:40,400 It's just hilarious. It's a definitely, uh, like a meme. It's a meme that made it onto the BBC. 305 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:49,200 Yeah. So we are going to go over the benefits that the trans maxing manifesto gives and cut 306 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:54,240 in at any time. Okay. I hope we're growing hair is one because I would like that to happen to me. 307 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,040 I can't remember if it's on there or not. We're going to find out. 308 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:05,600 So the first one is really weird sexual excitement from having a feminine body. 309 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:10,560 And then the second one is the superiority of female aesthetics, which is kind of the same, 310 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:15,040 but are they talking like body or are they talking like being able to have candles in your home and 311 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:19,520 nobody judging you as a man? That might be it. We're going to go with that one. That makes more 312 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:28,400 sense. Okay. You walk into your, your bro's house. You're like, man, kind of girly in here. I'm 313 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:33,280 trance. My apologies. Good sir, ma'am. You have as many candles as you want. I mean, I've never made 314 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:38,000 fun of anybody for having candles in their house because I too like candles, but I don't light them 315 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,160 very often. Uh, we're just not the kind of guys that go out of people's houses and make fun of 316 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:48,560 them for what's in it. That's valid point. Valid point. Yeah. Like I really don't care what's in, 317 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:55,200 what's in there. Yeah. As long as it's all legal stuff, right? Like, yeah. And I walk into Diddy's 318 00:30:55,200 --> 00:31:00,240 house. It's a different story, but yes. If I, yeah, I was thinking like, if you walk into uncle Ted's 319 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:06,480 house and see some illegal shit, it's probably the cool kind, but yeah, maybe depending on the uncle, 320 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:14,000 is he Catholic or not? I don't think Ted Nuget is Catholic. No, no, not him. He's got cat scratch 321 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:20,000 fever. So they have another one and this is like, gets into meme ology, full body orgasms, you know, 322 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,760 because when you transition to being a woman, you become a woman. How though 323 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:30,320 it's a meme. Come on. I know, man, but like even as a meme to be a funny meme, it's gotta have some 324 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:34,800 basis in like reality, right? Like you can't just transition to a woman and be like, oh, now I can 325 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:41,120 have multiple orgasms. Well, that's a lie because number five, multiple orgasms from P PM, penile 326 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,760 stimulation, you know, cause you transition to being a woman. So now you can have full body and 327 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:52,080 multiple orgasms at the same time. Okay. I'll consider that. I'll consider that. I'll consider 328 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:58,240 that. I'll consider myself corrected. I think it's a play on the idea that some of the activists say 329 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:03,840 that trans women are real women and can give birth and menstruate. Yes. Yeah. But where do they put 330 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:11,600 the tampon again? You'll have to ask Dylan Mulvaney. I don't think we have enough followers for Dylan 331 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:16,400 to even respond, but I, you know what? I can try. Well, that's all you can, you know, that's a, 332 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,880 that's a great first like opener. Oh, Hey, Dylan, we had a question on the show. Where does the 333 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:27,520 tampon go and why are you bleeding once a month from there? I think you're not using that for 334 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:32,080 something, but I'm not going to mention what it might be. Yes. You can ask, you can ask Diddy though. 335 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:41,200 Oh man. We're not going, we're not getting invited anyway. No, probably not. Unless Dylan smokes 336 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:47,760 cigars, then we'll see, but let's go next. Next manifesto point, Mike, before you let me ramble. 337 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:54,000 Emotions stronger and be happier on estrogen, which I think is the opposite of what most trans 338 00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:01,840 people report, but that's okay. Yeah. Yeah. You can. So that one, even though I'm aware of this 339 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:10,320 as a meme and a funny, funny thing, but that one I think is slowly changing to where men are able 340 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:17,920 to show emotion and not be thought a lesser person or lesser being, I guess. Right. Certain kinds of 341 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:24,640 emotion. Yeah. Sensitive emotions, not angry emotions. Right. I swear to God, this last puff 342 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:33,120 on this cigar was the worst thing I've had in my mouth since scout camp. It's not very good. I'm 343 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:40,160 letting it cool. I still have two inches left. I'm going to let this one cool. Yeah, me too, man. But the last puff I 344 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:47,040 took was terrible. Like, Oh, it's not the best. So the next one is your breasts will become sensitive, 345 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:52,640 which is probably true. Probably true. Probably true. Being able to attract. Nipples are sensitive on their own 346 00:33:52,640 --> 00:34:00,560 from what I gather. That's what I've been told in the stories. Yes. Not a lot of people out there 347 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:06,960 playing with man nipples, but. Yes. These next two. Back when I got a purple nipple, it hurt. I'll tell you that. 348 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:14,720 Oh my. So I have a double, a double header here. They split it into two, but I'm going to put it into one. 349 00:34:14,720 --> 00:34:20,880 Okay. If you become attractive enough. Yeah, I have to edit it because it's, it's repetitive. It's a meme. 350 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:28,240 If you become attractive enough, you will be able to attract cis lesbians and high quality males 351 00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:35,360 simultaneously. Yeah. That's what I, as an introvert want. I want everybody coming over to me. Yes. How 352 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:42,320 many pages is manifesto Mike? It has 17 points. Oh, okay. Well, 18 points. So it's, so it's not like 353 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:51,040 project 2025 or it was like a million pages long. Thank God. No. Yeah. Okay. Good. Yeah. It says that 354 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:57,440 you'll get softer skin and lesser no acne. No idea if that's true. Yeah. I don't know. I thought men 355 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:03,120 had less acne overall than women, but that might not be true. This says that you will live longer, 356 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:09,440 which they linked a actual government study that showed that men taking hormone blockers live 10% 357 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:14,080 longer. Probably because we're not trying to mod out our riding lawnmowers and race the neighbor. 358 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:22,320 Possibly. Yeah. The next one is great. It's being able to extract resources for males. Yeah. I mean, 359 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,800 you know, I wouldn't mind a sugar daddy, the kind like send me pictures of your feet and here's like 360 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:33,280 10 K. Okay. What you want with my foot pick. I don't give a fuck. Yeah. So any listener, 10, $10,000 361 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,720 you can get pictures of my feet. There we go. Putting that out there. Everybody has a price. 362 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:43,280 Yeah. I mean, I'm not gay, but $20 is $20. That's what I heard from a show. It's a quote from a show. 363 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:49,520 Carry on. All right. 13, you will no longer be driven to do dangerous and idiotic things due to 364 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:55,520 testosterone. Man, that's the best part of testosterone. Yeah, maybe. I don't think it's 365 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,520 going to stop any dangerous behavior, but whatever. This is the one that you would be interested in. 366 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:06,720 Stop and reverse hair loss. Yes. I don't know why the hair on the top of my head left there and went 367 00:36:06,720 --> 00:36:11,440 everywhere else, but couldn't some of it just go back? What I want to know is why is the hair that's 368 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:19,280 left going gray? There's nothing wrong with going gray. For any gender. I don't think going gray is 369 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:24,480 an issue. Not anymore. No, not like it used to be. No, I don't think going bald is an issue either. 370 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,720 No, I don't think so either. It certainly hasn't hindered my life. No, maybe in some circles. 371 00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:33,920 That I know of. Yeah. So the next one we could argue about people will treat you better if they 372 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:38,640 think you are female, which. That's why Elliot Page looks so happy all the time. Right. I don't think 373 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:44,560 that transgender people get treated better. I mean, I don't think that there's like some sort of like 374 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:49,360 government conspiracy against trans people, but socially they definitely have a more difficult 375 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:54,640 time most of the time, I'm going to guess. Yeah, I guess that one probably depends on where they live 376 00:36:54,640 --> 00:37:01,280 and where they work. If they work for Boeing or Sweet Baby Inc, then being trans is fantastic. 377 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:07,040 And sure, you go put, you go bolt this engine on this airplane. You got this girl, but I think a lot 378 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:11,520 of other places is probably not as socially acceptable. No, I'm going to guess that your 379 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:17,200 construction site is going to be a little rougher place. I have worked with some transgender people 380 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:23,440 and they definitely had a hard time on the job from some people. Yeah. Not me, but some people. 381 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:28,800 Yeah. I generally, if you can't, if you're competent and can just do the stuff you're 382 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:34,400 supposed to do and mostly leave me alone, then I don't, I don't care. I don't want to know. 383 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:39,120 It doesn't matter to me. But the same goes for talking about their pets and their kids. Like I 384 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:44,080 don't, can you get the report done or not? I don't need to know about your child or your cat or 385 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:50,640 just do the thing so I can go live my life at home after work. I agree. They link to a NIH study 386 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:56,480 that shows that the murder rate for males is higher than the murder rate for transgender people. 387 00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,160 And they say that you're less likely to get killed, which is possible. I don't really know. I mean, 388 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,160 that's probably true, but I feel like that's a correlation, that causation type of thing. 389 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:08,880 I think there's fewer trans people. And so of course, less of them will be killed. I would say 390 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:14,800 I would say it's probably probably legit. Yeah. This one is hilarious. 17 is funny. Female spaces 391 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:20,800 are cleaner and generally more pleasant. Not having to shower with males. Yeah. I mean, 392 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:25,760 possibly. I mean, I've heard horror stories about women's restrooms and I've heard horror stories 393 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:31,840 about men's restrooms. It kind of depends. Like the men's restroom at first Av is not great, 394 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:36,400 but I don't know that the women's restroom is any better. Probably not. Probably not. And then 395 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:42,880 number 18, the last on the list as legal sex change becomes more viable. You will have access 396 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:47,920 to cheaper car insurance, getting diversity hired, et cetera. Yeah. Which unfortunately 397 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:54,880 is actually all true. Yeah, it is. So, and then they go off into trying to purposefully develop 398 00:38:54,880 --> 00:39:01,200 auto gynaphilia, weird shit like that. It's funny. You have to, uh, 399 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:07,760 it's pretty funny that those are, uh, not in the, uh, 18 things that is, are directly in the 400 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:13,200 manifesto. These are like supplemental. Yeah. Supplemental work that you can read on your own 401 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:19,360 time for further reading, please. Further reading. Yeah. I know what kind of whatever the fuck. 402 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:24,320 For those of you who want to be tracked by the same, uh, cookies that I get tracked by, I guess. 403 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:32,000 You can look it up on Scribd. Yeah. Yeah. Use incognito browsing. I don't think that that helps. 404 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:37,120 No, not according to Google. Who's like, yeah, we, uh, we don't sell all that information. We, uh, 405 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:44,640 we keep on your incognito sessions. It's like, what? Yep. But I try not to use Google. It says 406 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:50,080 the Android user. So take that for what it's worth. Right. And that's, I mean, we've talked 407 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:54,800 about it. It's almost too late for that to be a concern. They're all, they're all just as evil, 408 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,720 I guess, you know, right? Yeah. You're damned if you do a damned, if you don't. And if you're not 409 00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:04,880 online, you really are hindering your ability to interact with society. So yeah, it's not going to 410 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:11,360 be that if you're not online, you don't get targeted ads. So I don't know. I had a conversation with 411 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:16,640 one of my buddies and he was like, oh yeah. I, uh, and he's a single guy. You know, he's I think 412 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:21,600 eight years older than I am. Single guy, loves video games and, uh, and that's about it, you know? 413 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:26,800 And he's like, oh yeah, I turned off targeted ads and I was getting, started getting ads for like 414 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:33,600 ninja diapers and stuff for kids because they're not like targeting my demographic. And so I'm 415 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,960 just going to turn targeted ads back on because why wouldn't I want to see stuff I'm interested 416 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,960 in? I'm not going to buy it, but I don't want to watch a diaper commercial. So I'll watch 417 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,960 a commercial about something I like, you know? Right, right. And I'm like, I'm not going to 418 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:49,840 buy it. I'm going to watch a commercial about something I like, you know? Right, right. And 419 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:54,320 what you mentioned, uh, Alexa and the home assistance and how people are paranoid about 420 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:59,120 it, which is legit, but at the same time, this is like the thing that we wanted, you know what I 421 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:04,480 mean? Like everybody wanted that. And that's funny. Cause like our parents' generation loved 422 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,840 Star Trek and they wanted, they were like, Oh, I can't wait till computers get to the point where 423 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:13,600 I can just go computer, uh, display, blah, blah, blah, or computer Earl gray, hot, you know? And 424 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,960 I'm like, well, what do you think it's doing in Star Trek, man? Like you're the ones that made 425 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:21,840 it. You made Star Trek. Like you put it out there for us to build and develop and said, you wanted 426 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,520 it so bad and now you don't want it. Yeah. How about we elect some politicians that'll make 427 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,600 reasonable regulations and then we'd use it anyway. Like people, I've had multiple people. 428 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,160 Why don't we elect politicians that can say no to Mark Zuckerberg? 429 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:33,920 Right. Elect Bobby Kennedy. Ha ha ha. 430 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:41,600 People, I've had multiple people get very upset coming into my house because we have the speakers 431 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:46,000 everywhere and you can talk and turn lights on and everything. And they're like, Oh no, this is evil. 432 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:51,680 And it's like, what do you mean it's evil? It's cool as shit. Yeah. I can increase my thermometer 433 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:58,320 with my voice or remotely. Like that's great. Yeah. Yeah. I love the smart thermostat because 434 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:03,040 I can do it from anywhere. You know, if we're out for the, out for the weekend, I turned it to like 435 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:07,200 in the summer, it keeps it pretty warm in the house, but not too warm. Cause we have a cat and 436 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,960 in the winter it keeps it really cold, but not too cold. Cause we have a cat. But then when we leave 437 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:16,080 wherever we're staying, I put it back to like home mode. So that by the time we're home, the house is 438 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:21,360 like the temperature we want it to be. So, Oh yeah. And when we're gone, we automate lights to pretend 439 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:27,200 that we're here and yeah, yeah. It's cool. Cause all, cause all the people driving up your driveway 440 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:32,960 in the middle of nowhere is like, Oh, no, the lights just came on. I imagine the sticky bandits, 441 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:37,280 the wet bandits from home alone. Nope. Remember when he's got the whole list, he's like that house 442 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:41,680 and he points and the lights go on and that house, the lights go on. Cause he knows all the timers. 443 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,760 Yep. But the good thing with like Alexa and the smart home automation is you could just tell it. 444 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:51,040 You could create a routine to say, turn the lights on at sundown, which changes by, you know, a minute 445 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:55,040 or so every day. Right? Right. That's true. That's true. I don't think I have to worry about it. Even 446 00:42:55,040 --> 00:43:00,080 the UPS guy today walked up to the house and didn't drive in because of the dog. Yeah. Yeah. 447 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:05,280 So, and the sign that says there will be no warning shots because ammunition is expensive. 448 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:09,440 Well, you know, I had to make an eight by four because that's what plywood comes in. 449 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:19,360 Yeah. So we debated it the whole time and we can discuss it one last time as we finished this cigar. 450 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:25,120 You know, is trans maxing number one, is it a real problem? Because a lot of athletes are getting 451 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:30,160 accused of it and we're not going to talk about any specifics. And apparently there are cases and it's 452 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:37,120 growing, but most of the examples that I found were not necessarily nefarious actors trying to 453 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:42,720 harm anybody. Right. They were doing it for self gain, which is what we do in our society in general. 454 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:50,880 Yeah. So, I mean, it, uh, there's a theory I have often had kind of had in my head, uh, but there's 455 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:56,960 also a whole episode and I know this shows kind of been like, Oh, we removed the laugh track just to 456 00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:01,200 show you how funny it isn't. Well, it's not a laugh track. It was filmed in front of a live studio 457 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:08,400 audience. So there's that, but, uh, there's a whole episode of friends where Phoebe was trying to do 458 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:13,840 an unselfish act and Joey kept saying, well, you donate all that money. And she's like, yeah. And 459 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:17,120 that sucked because it was all the money I had. And he's like, but you feel good about it, don't 460 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:22,000 you? And she's like, yeah, damn it. So there's not really like an unselfish act, you know, even if 461 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:28,400 you do stuff that has like a negative impact on you, you can still feel good about it, which then 462 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:35,120 therefore is still selfish. So anyone who's altering their life for whatever the reasons are, 463 00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:41,520 whether it's to trans max or, you know, to get cheaper car insurance or because they really 464 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:46,160 believe they were born in the wrong body. I don't think the motivation is any different. It's still 465 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:50,640 for personal gain. It is. And our whole society is set up to be able to do that. 466 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:55,200 Our whole society is set up to do everything for personal gain. Right. So, 467 00:44:55,200 --> 00:45:00,880 well, that's what evolution created us to be basically. Right. So I can't knock them for 468 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:07,360 doing it. Uh, I know that I've made jokes about it. Uh, when I was, uh, in college, I put on my 469 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,360 application that I was African-American a few times. It didn't help me get into college, but 470 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:17,520 I put it on there all the same because the meme was alive and well in the early aughts, you know, 471 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:25,360 yeah, there's hadn't been enough people doing it to make it to the news cycle. Right. Yeah. And, 472 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:30,320 and the news cycle on the news media and the interest groups and stuff had hadn't made it 473 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:36,720 to the point where now I saw, I can't remember the name of the college. Now they said 75% of their 474 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:45,120 new incoming class was going to be diverse, which left only 25% of the seats open for 475 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:51,920 white people, white men. That's only if they don't claim to be something else. And I understand. 476 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:57,520 I'm saying that that is now official policy at one of the top universities in the United States. 477 00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:05,760 So it's come a long way from it being a joke, right? Right. To it now being where trans maxing 478 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:12,880 might actually be a legitimate way to have the same future as everybody else now, but for white 479 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:18,480 people. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know if this gets into the whole, well, the whole thing 480 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:25,120 with the white privilege. I don't know that there is really such a thing as white privilege for 481 00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:31,680 people of certain socioeconomic classes, right? Like there's a, there's a income cutoff somewhere 482 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:37,680 for that. I think there has to be, right? Part of the con concept of white privilege is that 483 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:44,000 it's privilege is independent of your social class. That's based purely on whiteness. So 484 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:49,680 it's like a perceived benefit when you're dealing with police or public officials or something. 485 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:56,880 And I don't know if being poor immediately makes you a target for like police. I don't know if 486 00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:02,320 being not white immediately makes you a target, but that's the idea behind it. Right? Like I'm not 487 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:08,960 defending it as a concept. I would say that the benefit you get from, if you do get benefit from 488 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:15,600 white privilege is a seriously outweighed by economic factors for sure. And I know that in 489 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:20,320 public policy, if you address economic factors, you're going to address all the other issues as 490 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:26,640 well. So it just makes sense to do it in a way that is fair. All I know, man, is I was at the store the 491 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:32,400 other day. Somebody asked me if I played basketball and I was like, you check your privilege. This is 492 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:39,040 not the book sparked. You check your privilege. How dare you assume I'm an athlete. How dare you? 493 00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:43,040 I know the other day I was talking to my grandmother and she told me it doesn't matter 494 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:51,280 what anybody says. Transmaxing is the way to go. Well, you listened to Nana. So that's all I have 495 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:56,400 for the topic and my cigar is really hot and I don't want to finish it. I have about an inch 496 00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:00,640 left. Yeah. I don't want to tell you this, Mike, but I'm going to because there are no secrets 497 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:05,280 between us. Mine went out and I just didn't bother to relight it because it was terrible. 498 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:13,360 But yeah, I probably got like an inch and a half left and I just, I was like, I'm not doing it. I 499 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:19,920 can't, I can't do it. I can't do it. I won't do it. I don't want to do it. But the question then is, 500 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:26,800 I don't know, is it a one? Oh, I see what you did. You know what? I'll do the same thing because why 501 00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:32,640 not? This is copy Mike the show, but we both gave it a one, one point two five because it's not like 502 00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:38,800 as bad as the cult blood red moon, but this is really, it wasn't, there was not any pleasant puff 503 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:43,920 off the entirety of the, the, the, of the stick. The whole thing was bad. The reason why I gave it 504 00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:48,720 a one point two five, it got worse. I thought that the last two inches was better than the first 505 00:48:48,720 --> 00:48:54,640 three quarters, but I'm not sure if it was because it actually got better or because I just stopped 506 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:59,520 tasting the bad parts because I'd smoked that much of it. Yeah. See, and I thought the last, 507 00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:06,000 maybe two or three inches were the worst part of the whole thing. So I suffered through the rest 508 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:14,320 of it. That was not good to get to an even worse part. Yeah. Uh, this is not recommended. It tastes 509 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:19,520 like acetone. Yeah. The whole way through. I would recommend trans maxing before I recommend you 510 00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:26,960 smoke this thing. No judgment on my part. You listen to Mike's grandmother now. That's right. 511 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:34,400 All right. Well, thanks for listening. Don't smoke this fucking cigar. It's terrible. 512 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:48,240 Be safe. Have fun.
