So without further ado, please welcome the host of Beauty Translated, which season two is dropping this April 12th.
That's two Wednesdays from now.
The day, I guess I was going to try and make it relate to the day Trump's arraignment.
Don't worry about it.
Season two is dropping April 12th.
Get in.
And look, guess what?
She's a skin therapist.
She's a makeup artist.
She's just basically has Atlanta's best skin.
I'm just going to go ahead and say it.
Please welcome to the microphone, Missmen lauren thank you so much that is a huge i'll take that best skin yo after i'm no bullshit after
you're on and we're talking about skincare i was like okay yeah i gotta i can i can drink water
get my shit right by staying hydrated more but also started using a moisturizer you know i mean with some spf
okay because before i was on this i'm black and asian i'm fucking i don't need to do shit
but part of me is like if i'm trying to go like pharrell speed you know i gotta i gotta have some
moisturizing i gotta have some spf so thank you uh i didn't invest in that. Yeah. So I'll credit you with that, Carmen.
You're the only dad that's going to be younger after the child was born.
You know, I start reversing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll drop my kid off at school and they're like, and is your little brother coming in?
Wait until you hear about the skincare they're doing with like placenta these days.
Oh, shit.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
Oh, I mean, I feel like, but aren't there placenta creams and shit already there are yeah yeah no
j-lo has already harvested all of that shit there's no way horse placenta horse placenta
is very popular people don't know that's what nick cannon all them kids are for because you
got a placenta cream business going and he's like oh better keep it in the family keep it in oh my
god that is hilarious. How are you
Carmen? What's new with you? I'm
doing well. As well as I can
be in these crazy
times we're living in.
Yeah, very violent place we call America.
Absolutely. And I live in
Atlanta, which is one of the better places
to be trans in the South. But being
trans in the South is still, you know,
challenging.
That being said,
Beauty Translated,
which is kind of all about being trans and in the South
and all of that,
and really, from my perspective
as a skin therapist,
season two comes out April 12th,
and we are going to be featuring
one of the authors
of my favorite books,
which is Whipping Girl,
and her name is Julia Serrano.
So I'm very excited about that episode.
That's dope.
I'm excited for you, excited for the audience.
Please check out Carmen's show if you haven't already.
It's really great.
And I guess we're going to get to know you a little bit better, Carmen.
But first, we're going to tell our listeners what we're going to talk about.
We already told you, Trump indicted, 34 counts world excited.
But we'll tell you what all the fucking
freaks and weirdos are saying uh what this may or may not do because we just still don't know
we're still in that phase like okay we took a step forward but then where will it lead so
we're probably going to spend most of the episode just examining all of the happenings because my
god it's like he like with that an indictment announcement,
he just kicked over like a anti-black anti-Semitic like hornet's nest that
just exploded on the far right.
And then if we have time,
maybe we'll get to just to wrap up the Gwyneth Paltrow case to just talk
about the iconic moment and just how lucky we are to not have to see as
someone put on the internet,
the whitest trial of the century.
I wish her well.
You mean the Goop advertisement?
Yeah, exactly.
That Goop advertisement.
Because of what that.
Yeah.
I mean, good for her.
You already know, like, next week there's going to be a, like, a innocence line or like, you know, accountability line or some shit like that.
Goop guilty.
Goop innocent.
There's no way her outfits aren't going to be
a Halloween costume next year.
There's no way. With those glasses?
Yeah.
She's like serving
cunt getting in the ski track.
Or like couture
Jeffrey Dahmer or some shit.
With that blonde hair and shit.
Anyway, we'll talk all
about that, but first, Carmen Laurent,
what is something from your search history
that is revealing about who you are,
what you're into right now?
You almost said search herstory, which I didn't.
I think it was very subtle.
Yo, thank you.
Thank you so much.
Women's herstory month.
This is a bit of herstory here for you, actually.
Okay.
Yeah.
So I've been, if anyone knows anything about me i
love to look into trans history trans history is like i reflect on a lot of the things from my
upbringing as a trans teenager and a trans child and so in 2008 there was a show that you probably
never heard of but i was recently googling it i'm sorry it's 2010 i was recently Googling it. I'm sorry, it was 2010. I was recently Googling it. It's a show called Trans, capital T-R-A-N-S, Form Me.
And it was my first introduction to Laverne Cox and Jamie Clayton.
And I was just reflecting on that because I was like remembering, you know, seeing that on TV back in 2010 and being like, holy shit, this is major.
And it never went past one season, but it was essentially a
queer eye for the straight guy, but it was trans women
making over cis women as a concept, which
I love that.
When did Laverne really start popping off?
Did this kind of set them up?
Yeah, that was both of their jumping off points.
Nina Poon was the third woman who was in that.
And we haven't seen a whole lot from her much more these days.
But Jamie Clayton, I want to say for Laverne Cox after that,
the next big thing would have been in 2012, I think,
was when she starred in Orange is the New Black. Right, right. Yeah. to save for laverne cox after that like the next big thing would have been um in 2012 i think was
when she starred in orange is the new black right right yeah and laverne and jamie were both in
disclosure which was really good that doc yes about trans influence and culture and everything
yeah yeah absolutely very good talk yeah especially because what friday was trans day of visibility
right yes and actually
all my over i'm sorry to do this but yeah all my search history is all related to trans day of
no no absolutely i mean technically we're recording it on trans day of visibility just
to let people know and it should be for all of those cis heteros out there who call themselves out. Your search herstory should be too.
Yeah, let me see your search herstory.
Yeah.
What is something you think is overrated, Carmen?
Okay, so this is something I've been reflecting on.
You know, I've reflected on it for a long time, but today is Trans Day of Visibility.
And so something I thought, you know, that's important to talk about right now is how visibility without protection can be kind of overrated.
And not in the sense that like, you know, visibility is ever a bad thing.
But what's happening now is like, we've got trans visibility, like at an all time high, you know, we've got more trans role models to look to than we've ever had before, which is a fantastic thing.
But unfortunately, we also have anti-trans hate and anti-trans legislation also at an all-time
height coinciding with that. So it's really, today is a really conflicting day for me because
I pay the bills being trans and visible, and it's not something that everyone can do
safely and,
you know,
can be visibly trans safely.
So it's,
it's a,
it's a double edged sword as we like to call it.
Yeah.
And I was just reading a piece,
I think it was Vox or something,
just sort of confronting the bias,
like in legacy media of,
you know,
the,
the lack of people who actually are,
have the,
the viewpoint or perspective to
support trans people. Uh, and that's a huge gaping hole. Like to your point, the visibility may be in
like elevating certain people and giving them a platform, but there's another piece to that,
which is what is the entirety of our culture doing to support that? Like, are we actually
like, is the mainstream media take to defend the rights of trans people and not have
them relegated to second class citizenhood or non-human hood or is it just a kind of like report
and like throw your hands up and be like and like that's kind of what's going on there rather than
forcefully understanding that like this is a very very serious issue that you know is is part and
parcel of our like slow slip into a very dark place. And if we're just
able to cast people aside because we don't have a connection to that community or we don't think
it's going to affect us, it's going to be only at our own detriment in the long run. So yeah,
totally, totally feel that. I also think like, I mean, what you said was so true is that being
visible without protection means that you're a target, you know, like that's not something that I think
has meaningful effects on individuals who are in classes where they can't afford protection.
They don't have, they can't, you know, you know, have that, the ability to exist. Also, I mean,
I feel like it's happening very fast right now, you know, in all of these states, like all of
this anti-trans legislation and anti-queer legislation is happening so incredibly quickly i'm seeing it i think yesterday or today
kentucky passed a law about trans kids in schools with the bathrooms and everything
it's like every other day basically now it's so shocking and i think what's really frustrating
like i did a stand-up show and i talked about being queer about being bi and there was like this
this four group of four people and they're from like North Carolina and South Carolina and usually
in LA you're like I'm queer like and the crowd goes wild but I said it and they were like visibly
uncomfortable and I'm like are you allies and they kind of like shook their head they were like no
like we don't know like we don't want to talk about this.
And that was like shocking to see in LA,
but to see people who aren't affected just like be very uncomfortable.
Like, I don't think it's framed to them.
Like, if you don't allow trans people to exist,
it's a genocide.
Like, I don't think they understand that,
like, blood is on their hands, you know?
Like, this is medically proven so
if you are like know people who are feeling i feel like all of the listeners here probably
feel pretty strongly about it but if you know people who are feeling very ambiguous about it
like that i i feel like the media also you know they not only do they throw their hands up they
go the other direction they like frame it as the trans problem. So, right.
There's like a lot of work to be done in all of these communities,
especially where it's not the coastal elites.
Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah. And it's just like, even, I mean, for people who,
if you know someone who's like, am I an ally? It's like, it just, you know,
clear the slate for a second. just imagine you know you you have
to have the ability to really put yourself in other people's shoes to really understand the
severity of it because the idea like that just merely you trying to represent your true authentic
self is going to invite violence is a terrifying fucking thought it That's so scary. It should be for any person. Any person.
You know what I mean?
Like, and to divorce yourself from that threat
and be like, well, that's not really my problem,
means like you're essentially,
you're throwing your hands up and saying,
look, I'm pro terror for these groups
because I don't have a connection to it.
And that's a really big problem we have in the US,
which is like people don't get their shit together
till the shit comes to their doorstep.
And half the time, they don't even figure it out when it does.
Case in point, like even that governor in Tennessee who knew two of the victims in the school shooting
and still was like, yeah, I don't gun control.
I'm not going to say that out loud, though.
Like, yeah, come the fuck on.
Like, that is so insane to me.
What shows, I mean, what people do in service of wanting to stay in power and, you know,
how they've completely ceded their own like humanity in service of just being able to be the most popular guy in Tennessee, basically.
Carmen, what's something you think is underrated?
So I'm going to talk about something that has been on my mind recently because I've recently started taking more and it's improved me.
So estrogen is my underrated today.
All right.
Estrogen gets a lot of, it gets a bad name. Okay. Cause you know, it can increase your risk for
blood clots and breast cancer and all of that. Yes. Those are all things you should be concerned
about. But on the flip side, I've been taking estrogen for more than, I want to say like 12
years now, 13 years now, And it has changed my life for the
better in so many ways. And I just recently found out from a checkup with my doctor that my estrogen
levels were extremely low. And it kind of made sense because I was feeling very depressed and
all of that. So I've been taking more for the past several weeks now and it's really like kicking in and i'm like oh
yeah i forgot how much i fucking love when that estrogen is hitting yeah wait so i mean i'm
complete this is a very foreign experience to me so like what does it feel like when you are
obviously you don't feel like yourself but in what way what's that difference between when you are
or not well yeah it's like a it's like a are not? Well, yeah, it's like a,
well, in the sense of being trans, it's like a sense of feeling detached from your body. So when I see my body, you know, maybe not being, not feminizing as much as I want or masculinizing
in a direction that I don't want it to, you know, that can make it feel, you know, uncomfortable
to be in my body. So the solution to that is just take more.
And it's helped in a lot of ways.
I mean, it helps with your mood.
It helps with your sleep, your skin.
I mean, it's required for bone density.
It's required to form collagen, you know.
So estrogen does a lot that I think, you know, people take for granted sometimes.
I didn't realize it was sort of contentious because you sort of started it off by saying, like, look, I know that there are certain health risks attached to it.
But yeah.
OK.
Yeah.
I feel like there are health risks with everything, though.
Like, it's very individualized.
Right.
Like and hormones and like neurotransmitters, antidepressants, hormones, like all of these things that travel through our bloodstream have such like profound effects on like so many different systems. And like, it's very, it can be like very
beneficial, you know, like it can, it can help overall with like so many different aspects of
your physiology. Yeah. See, thank you. Come through with the fucking straight up medical
biological science. Thank you. Come at me, you fucking weirdos. I got all the facts here. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back to do a little light celebrating and a little bit of heavy laughing at this man called whatever Trump or whatever. OK, we'll be right back.
It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation.
KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play.
A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest.
I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite.
I got swept up in Kabir's journey.
But this was only the beginning in a story about faith and football,
the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved.
football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron, and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy
theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea,
but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcasts. When you think of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine,
and of course, lucha libre.
It doesn't get more Mexican than this.
Lucha libre is known globally because it is much more than just a sport
and much more than just entertainment.
Lucha libre is a type of storytelling.
It's a dance.
It's tradition.
It's culture.
This is Lucha Libre is a type of storytelling. It's a dance. It's tradition. It's culture.
This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask, a 12-episode podcast in both English and Spanish about the history and cultural richness of Lucha Libre.
And I'm your host, Santos Escobar, the emperor of Lucha Libre and a WWE superstar. Join me as we learn more about the history behind this spectacular sport from its inception in the United States to how it became a global symbol of Mexican culture.
We'll learn more about some of the most iconic heroes in the ring.
This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask.
Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts.
I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast. on the iHeartRadio app, in our politics, and that we need to do better and that we can do better.
With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki.
It's really tragic. If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison.
We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume.
Even those we disagree with are more generous than we assume.
My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in a relationship with each other.
All that on the Happiness Lab.
Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. And we're back. Trump indicted 34 counts world excited. Now we don't know if it's exactly 34 counts. I don't think it's been unsealed. But that's what sources who know
have been leaking that number that is three four counts right now and the day has
finally come the one that apparently like trump thought would never come but hey here we are um
so this is in connection uh this is in new york this is in connection with the door the stormy
daniels hush money case and it should be noted this is by far the weakest case against trump
right now in terms of like the severity of charges and how defensible the charges are. So before you start, you know, popping off and shit like that, just know this
isn't done and dusted. So I'm going to go ahead and say this. This won't be the thing that puts
Trump in jail, if at all. And I only say that because I'm only looking at the strength of
history behind it, where criminalized presidents presidents don't fucking criminal powerful people just do not typically see justice.
But there is also something I was hearing from some like legal people were saying that because he has lifelong secret service protection from being a former president, that that could complicate like the form of confinement that he would have to go under.
like the form of confinement that he would have to go under so it's like i don't know if like he's gonna have secret service with him like in the yard like in the pen or anything like that or if
it's something like they said more likely to be like house arrest and like the secret service
acts as his you know jailers or whatever anyway it's like white house arrest could it be i know
i know i know so he look he's doing uh you know uh he's right now he's just he's
standing by and standing back but again we will see what happens in that very specific way however
it is good to see that we are seeing an actual fucking indictment because this is a first but
i'll tell you this what will happen is this dude is gonna be arraigned
on tuesday assuming that he doesn't you know become a fugitive which it sounds like his lawyer
said he's willing to turn himself in and that's probably the better way to go unless you're trying
to you really think this is some wild west shit uh but i don't feel like he can run that fast
you know what i mean no but he'll be the thing is like come and get me and he's like maga maga smurfs assemble and fight the feds and i'm like and then when only like 15 people show up
he's like oh fuck but anyway he is getting arraigned he is gonna have to go in front of a
judge like a fucking normie and then he's gonna have his prints taken he's gonna have his little
mug shot taken uh just like a loser normal normal ass citizen would rather than, you know, orange God boy. So let's talk about the reactions to the indictment, since that's the one thing we can actually look at to prison off of this. There's a tweet from 2016, October 1st from at bronze hammer.
That was like,
that's been being reposted a lot right now.
That's like,
well,
I'd like to see old Donnie Trump wriggle his way out of this jam.
Trump wriggles his way out of the jam easily.
Ah,
well,
nevertheless,
that's what it feels like.
Like it's going to happen.
It's like,
he's going to find some way,
even like house arrest.
It's going to be in like what a mansion,
you know? I mean, I don't know. And way. Even like house arrest, it's going to be in like, what, a mansion? You know?
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
Exactly.
And we'll see even, you know, his lawyers right now, Joe Tacopina is like, oh, these
are like, they're trying to enforce federal election laws in a New York, you know, in
a New York court and blah, blah, blah.
So we'll see what the defense looks like.
But I'd imagine that they feel like they have some kind of case.
And clearly the jury felt there was enough there to indict him.
So we'll go from there.
And I think keep in mind too,
for all the talk of like,
this is overblown or whatever.
Michael Cohen,
his ass went to jail in connection with all the shit this is about.
So they determined that his actions were illegal in that case.
And if Trump was the one giving the orders,
then how the
fuck you gonna act like it anyway i'm sure he'll find a way this is like oj being caught for the
jerseys you know what i mean yeah right exactly we're gonna get him on something yeah it's like
when he kidnapped or like the guy who had his heisman didn't he like try and kidnap that guy
or something it was where is that the jerseys thing he was trying to steal his merch like his merch back basically in vegas from this dude's hotel
and you know to that to that point a lot of the people in trump's camp are saying like this trial
has to be oj on steroids i think was the phrase that was used to try and create as much of a
spectacle as possible oh yeah so first up trump was apparently caught the fuck off guard by this.
Like he thought it would take weeks for something like this to happen or he didn't even think it might even happen at all because, you know, privileged ass motherfucker.
few loose Big Macs, he basically hopped on the phone and began his quote unquote defense,
which is to basically attack and degrade Alvin Bragg and, you know, just the rule of law in general, which is something they love to evoke so much. So first, I want to play this. This is
just a little bit of schadenfreude. This is Fox News. The second they announced that Donald Trump
was indicted. And just listen closely because you can hear the fucking the gasps
it's just so amazing the huh uh this is fox news announcing that donald this is like the break
the moment they break news to tell you that he's been indicted here uh we have just gotten word
former president donald trump has been indicted by a grand jury in New York.
Trump was under investigation by.
One more time.
We have just gotten word former President Donald Trump has been indicted.
What?
By a grand jury.
It's curb music.
That is so funny.
Y'all dumb motherfuckers.
Really?
Well, I never.
No.
Really? He's been held to account? Okay. So we had that. Dumb motherfuckers, really? Well, I never. No, really?
He's been held to account?
Okay, so we had that.
That's how they started things. Soon after, Jesse Waters said that this indictment was a, quote, disgrace.
Adding that, quote, no one wanted this.
Not even the left wanted this.
Bitch, who are you talking to on the left?
He's like, they're for abolition which i also
support yeah in this very narrow context for him but yeah this is again like so we started like
first i think it's funny to watch the pundits try and figure out what like the the line they
were supposed to tell was because first just like this is unbelievable and then they started
coalescing around sort of this more consistent theme, which we'll get to.
But he also was like, he's like, this is actually going to help Trump.
And so, like, they're Democrats.
The Democrats actually did this because they think it's like it'll make him easier to beat or whatever.
I don't know what the fuck they're talking about, but there's some real mind twisting going on.
Greg Gutfeld, who has one of the top shows in late night.
Comed comedian extraordinaire
greg gutfeld who is still constantly looking for writers in case anyone on this team wants to
submit for his show oh really it's always popping up on like writing opportunities and i'm like
oh i could get such a bag well you know what's funny his writer's room is fucking up because
there were six hours
In between when the indictment was announced
And when he went to air
And he didn't have anything on it
They just went like their main story was
Whatever the fuck they had already pre-written
Was pro sports teams having like
Pride nights at the venues
They're like Jurassic Park
They're like if we don't look it in the eyes it's not happening
You know
Or they're just like They're just not nimble They're like, if we don't look it in the eyes, it's not happening. You know, I think I don't know if they're yeah.
Or they're just like they're just not nimble writers.
Like, what do we do?
What do we say?
It's bad.
Right.
But Gutfeld just kind of went on.
The only thing he said is like, this is actually really good for Trump, you know, because like
it basically guarantees his nomination and his mugshot is going to probably be his campaign
poster.
Oh, that's true. You know, I could see that happening.
Yeah. But I'm saying at this point, I guess, I mean, you have to actually you're going to have
to steal the election, you know, pretty hardcore if your whole thing is like we're only going to
appeal to people who think that certain people are above the law in the context of like your
political allegiances. But I'm sure it'll circle back to something because the economy's tight and he'll find some kind of
fake populist message to act like he's like this actually makes me the most like man of the people
candidate fucking ever i actually heard his new campaign manager is the hamburglar so he's leaning
hard into the criminal aspect of it and the fucking and the two dudes from the cookie crisp oh my god
was it cookie crisp uh also like burglar ass i think so i'm trying to remember okay hold on
because what was the one that had like two like english cops or whatever i'm completely fucking
misremembering all this anyway zeitgang right in what what cereal am i trying to remember when it
was like those two like bobbies that were the the logo um tucker carlson meanwhile he said this could be the start of the
purge he's like the rule of law appears to be suspended tonight not just for trump but for
anyone who would consider voting for him this is what it seems to be it is a political purge
that sounds like if tucker carlson and Ben Shapiro had a baby. That's like what
you just sounded like. Oh, yeah, yeah.
That was a really good one.
I mean, Ben is like, well, this is absolutely
ridiculous. If you actually
look at the facts, this should never
be happening. And in a country that
we're supposedly the leaders in democracy, we're not going
to really be setting an example for the other nations
like Russia and China that are basically
going to make a mockery of everything that's happening here.
I'm scared.
And my pussy is dry.
I'm sorry.
No wap here.
It's dap. I turned the wap
to dap on that. But dap it up
one time.
And then, so do you know who
fucking Tucker Carlson had on as
his guest for this monumental occasion to talk about it?
Fucking Adam Carolla.
Bro.
I can't.
I cannot.
What's he up to these days?
I've done shows with him.
It makes sense.
Yeah.
He still performs at some clubs that I perform at. Wow. Yeah. When I saw a set, I was like, yeah, this makes sense. Yeah. He still performs at some clubs that I perform at.
Wow.
Yeah.
When I saw a set, I was like, yeah, this makes sense.
The man show went two ways.
The man show.
Yeah.
It made a Kimmel and it made a Corolla.
Yeah.
I just love how that literally caused like a split.
And Kimmel went left.
He goes right.
And here we are.
But Adam Corolla, he was saying, again, he's like, this is all political theater, you know, just to bait more Trump supporters into protesting so they can be
arrested. So he's claimed a honeypot operation to get more people caught up. I thought it was
Antifa, though. So he's saying that they will commit violence. I mean, that's like they're
going to be violent. So you're going to get you're just trying to trigger them.
Right, right, right. Exactly. You know, they're gonna be fine.
I mean, that's all they're trying to do.
It's political theater for people to just and that is obviously a huge concern.
And we'll we'll talk about that a little more.
But he also claimed that there is like a religious angle to Trump's arrest because the left is a religion and Trump is Satan.
So you got to get it was very like I think even the audience had trouble following.
It was very,
very odd.
We didn't all leave our churches and temples as teenagers and argue with our
families over Thanksgiving for us to be called a religion.
Fuck you.
We're a bunch of heathens and we stand by that.
We believe in nothing.
We don't even say bless you when you sneeze,
motherfuckers.
Yeah.
Yeah. When I hear, when I hear someone sneeze, I say,
what the fuck?
I say, thank science.
You know what I mean?
Do you ever use that
trick to look in the sun to sneeze?
No. Does that trigger a sneeze for you?
I don't do that.
I want to blind myself.
If I'm on the edge of a sneeze, I can look straight up at the sun and it fucking brings it right on out.
I do that to pray to our Lord and savior,
Donald Trump.
So,
because he also looks at the sun,
our Lord and savior,
Apollo from the Apollo capital investment group.
So I also want to touch Sean Hannity.
He was also,
Oh,
I should say this at the end of tucker carlson's
show he said some wild shit he made this offhanded comment like under his breath but clearly audible
where he was like yeah might not be the best time to give up your ar-15 and can i just say about
that too like i mean he's been recently there's been a lot of tucker carlson stuff where he's
been talking about trans people with AR-15s. Yeah.
And then in relation,
yeah, to the Nashville shooting and all of that,
they're now like proposing no guns for trans people specifically.
Yeah.
So you're admitting they're people.
Well,
I mean,
it's,
it's all just fucking cruelty for cruelty's sake. Because again, I, I think the like to get to like the attacks on the LGBTQ community is because the Republicans cannot fucking do battle with anyone at their level.
They get smashed out. So the only people they can go, they have to push the weak around because that's the only people they can.
the weak around because that's the only people they can and i say weak more in the sense of like marginalized or the lack of support from mainstream culture that that's sort of the way that they're
eking out their victories because they're taking l's in every other arena they're like yeah but
guess what we just restricted the ability for these people to be happy so that's cool right base
yeah i just like i don't think that they have an end game because it's also short term like they
don't care about the environment they don't care about like people dying they don't think that they have an end game because it's also short term. Like they don't care about the environment. They don't care about like people dying.
They don't care about human rights because they all just want like within
their lifetime for their careers to be extended and for them to be wealthy.
And I'm also like,
I feel like if they had just become an influencer,
like it would be easier.
You know what I mean?
Like there are other less stressful ways to get the bag,
dude.
Like just start an only fans.
Like you're like, you know what I mean?
You're already showing your ass on TV.
Do something with ethics, you know?
A Christo fascist OnlyFans is one that I'm scared of.
No, that's those TikTok women who are, like, doing the housewives bit where they're, like, the trad wife thing.
Oh, yeah.
That's, like, people are, like, oh, that's, like, a fetish, you know?
And I'm, like, fuck yeah.
Like, get your bag, you know? get your bag and then just keep your bag there
and please don't give your bag any political movements don't use it to buy guns you know yeah
his trump's little infant son donnie jr decided to use some colombian inspiration fuel to go on
his like live stream and then he's like rattled off a bunch of dictators to make some kids like you know pol pot um fucking do tell hitler stalin you're like what dude uh
and he's like and trump and trump uh this would make them roll over in their graves because they
wouldn't believe how authoritarian this place has come but But meanwhile, pretty much all of the Republicans have fallen
into line to come to the defense of their orange stepfather and using their favorite tools to do
so. My buddy, anti-black racism and his cousin, anti-Semitism, because they are all doing some
combination. You're hearing this on Fox nonstopstop right now i was up all night with the
bait with the geist child he was a little fussy i think he was excited to hear about the stump shit
so we were just watching the news and i would look i'm watching fox like 2 30 yeah a little
Jesus Geist okay of Nazar of Nazar trends um but they're all doing some combination of dehumanizing
language for dda alvin bragg which is like he's a thug or he's an animal or some shit like that.
And then evoking the anti-Semitism part by insisting he's a George Soros funded thug man to complete.
Basically, I mean, this I guess do their dog.
It's not even a whistle at this point it's dog full voice screaming at this point but
yeah they're just trying to you know pit they're saying the black guy and the jewish guy hate trump
you see guys that's who the enemy is yeah because he's anti-black and anti-semitic that's why they
would hate trump although hey i love my blacks including the two tokens i pay to stand behind
me at every rally thanks so much i will be paying
your hair relaxer bills uh you invoiced for and here in georgia you know we've got the one uh that
fanny wallace is working on right now and she's a black woman i just i'm like just thinking about
when he gets indicted here yeah black woman where that's going to happen like already because we already know how his has, you know, his rage for women of color.
But anyway, Hannity did the smart thing and he had two black guys on his show to go after Alvin Brad.
And so I just want to play this moment where he's I don't know who the fuck these these people are.
But this one old dude just goes,
he's like, he gets the crowd going
and then they pan to a crowd shot.
I just want you to watch this whole clip
because there's an audience cheering,
but I want you to really pay attention
to the audience, too.
It's a very weird moment.
I got news for you.
Every second of time I have, I'll donate.
And I'll get news for you, Alvin Bragg.
After we defeat this lawsuit,
we're going to file a civil rights lawsuit against you for malicious
prosecution.
What the fuck?
So uncomfortable.
Who is this man?
Who is this?
Oh my God.
The enthusiasm.
It's such a weird,
like there are people screaming.
This is like a show
that's like what chappelle's audience looks like a bunch of like overexcited white dudes
yeah exactly and jk rowling to the side too but yeah so again this is just we're seeing them all
kind of unify around this message alvin bragg has gone too far because he's prosecuting people that are committing crimes.
Even Ron DeSantis is as couldn't resist getting self-tanner all over his mouth and said that he would not even extradite if the feds wanted him to, which really isn't a thing.
But it sounds provocative. And like so many Republicans right now who are trying to run for president are looking at a moment where, you know, you could fucking maybe turn your back, but they have opted out.
And, you know, I think it's as if they believe that powerful white guys should be above the law, which is like maybe unifying them.
And I mean, their, their genuine shock seems to really indicate as much because they say things like, oh, really?
For a, for like oh really for uh
for like a for a federal elections thing that's obscene like you're saying that you shouldn't
that you can break the law in that instance it's a very very we're in a very sticky situation
and all this is not great for people that hope to see like less violent fuckery around trump's lies
because right now like manh Manhattan is being like fortified
as they prepare for Trump to turn himself in.
And, you know, they're already having to like assess
like the dozens of threats that are starting to come in,
especially against the DA.
So it's clear he's trying to do
like a January 6th style ramp up of misinformation
to try and inspire some kind of violent confrontation.
But we're yet to see exactly what kind of appetite there is for this. Like I know Marjorie Taylor Greene is trying
to start to kick things off. She's like, I'm going down. I'm going to New York to protest. You
believe me, I'll be there Tuesday. But I don't know if that's enough time for all the dark money
groups to, you know, coordinate air travel and buses for their acolytes to be violent.
You gave us so much information. And it was also valuable and such a great perspective.
And what I have to add is that Alvin Bragg
is such a Gotham DAS name and I love it.
They're shutting down the island of Manhattan
as Alvin Bragg goes after the city's biggest joker.
Yeah, the country's right.
People have said that, this is another thing too you go to like msnbc i was watching all the news channels last night and it was wild how they're
all around the clock with it and some people look so fucking tired because it's like 3 30 or 4 in
the morning and like pundits like yeah so we're gonna keep saying the same five things over and
over for hours but one thing that a few people said like this is a somber day you know this is the first time a former president has been indicted
for crimes and and i'm like but every fucking president is a crook and and that's a basic
ass level war crime like war crimer so i bet those people were sad when the queen died fuck that
yeah right no of course they
were it's a somber day for us who believe that ascending to certain offices of power make you
superhuman and therefore you can commit like untold transgressions against untold amounts of people
you just know that george bush is just like having such a field day with getting away with his work
crimes yeah like oh my god he's like
that dude should have painted after he left his finger paintings yeah exactly he's like hey you
know i'm just he's probably just he's probably in a field right now like painting finger painting
abu grabe he's like i got away with it too you know yeah just like horrors i know yeah when he
he signs all of his like paintings with a palm print on the back because he can't write.
Oh, my God.
Like a little doggy.
Yeah, like a preschool project.
You're humanizing him now.
You don't have to feel bad.
And vandalizing him.
Yeah, and vandalizing him.
Aw.
Aw.
Being a war criminal.
Aw, the war criminal.
Are you trying to start a little war?
Oh, how about you weapons of mass destruction
god and what a dark world because honestly it's like all we can do is laugh at the hopelessness
over the like millions of lives are completely upended by that fucking war but you know if
they're if you're like a normal everyday person, this is what's sort of upsetting, right? Like you will get thrown in jail and even killed by law enforcement for less. And it's about, again, for me, I'm like, it's about fucking time. There's some at least demonstration that there can be accountability, although I don't know what level it will get to so i will save my celebrations when shit actually gets real and we are hearing like guilty
verdicts and things like that and see where that goes but it's again i'm like it's with bated
breath i will i will say though it is heartening it's nice to at least see that go shit going to
this point yeah it's like seeing a cop actually getting indicted or like you know try yeah well
because like all the time you're like you know exactly like it's like seeing shit on video and you're like that is a fucking crime i don't even i don't that's a crime and now we're
at least again maybe seeing it uh happen here but the thing is he's already he's already got two
trials happening this year he's about he has two civil trials he's facing one is a 250 million
dollar fraud case in new york civil trial and then E. Jean Carroll's defamation case around her alleged the rape that she's accusing him of.
So the first one, I think the $250 million fraud case starts in October and then the defamation case is in April.
That man is doing more hours than I am this year. That's crazy. He is booked and busy. I need his agent.
this year that's crazy he is booked and busy okay i need his agent yeah you need his terrible lawyers and aggressive like next year you see me doing the giuliani tour you're like what the fuck
please don't have fake hair though that you sweat out like in the press conference what
if i wiped it off right now and you were like fuck? No. He was doing drag when he did that.
That was drag.
Oh, yeah.
Like that was.
I love that so much.
Oh, my God.
That's so funny.
That was good Southern drag, too.
Like this even thing about like, you know, when you talk about accountability for presidents, right, like we let Nixon off the hook and that that definitely emboldened Reagan to go Iran contra the fuck up.
And he was like, man, what the fuck are they going to do?
You know, and now I think we're just we're seeing that momentum carry on to its logical endpoint or not endpoint, but where we are today in the form of Trump, who's only seen these other examples of like, yeah, you can get away with shit.
Like if you get to this point, yeah, you can get away with shit. Like if you get to this point,
yeah, you can fuck around.
Like whatever.
So like I said,
it's the weakest case against him
when you look at what is being investigated,
like you said,
Carmen in Georgia
and what the DOJ is doing with their special counsel.
So we'll see what happens
and how long it takes for legal jeopardy,
his legal jeopardy to ramp up exponentially.
That's a good one.
We got that on tape.
That's on tape, too.
But can you imagine?
Legal jeopardy sounds like the most tedious jeopardy.
You know what I mean?
So monotone.
I don't know the laws.
Yeah.
What is the jurisprudence in regards to bail?
I'm just regurgitating.
That's your answer?
prudence in regards to bail i'm just i'm just regurgitating that's your answer no that was like that was this prompt like a judge in india gave to chat gpt to figure out if someone deserved bail
oh really yeah that was like gpd say like it just arrest all my overlords or what no yeah right no
it was it just basically it was like looking up wikipedia it just sort of like recited the law
back to this judge i knew the entire legal system was based on wikipedia i just sort of like recited the law back to this judge i knew the entire legal
system was based on wikipedia i knew it we all had a hunch you don't need a lawyer you just need
chat gpt right oh can you imagine just chat gpt fucking past the bar like in the top 10 percent
right so i think i think it would do a better job than gwyneth or that other dude's like at least they wouldn't fucking
simp over Gwyneth the entire trial
I think someone as a
it's probably going to start off as a goof where someone
represents themselves at trial
with the help of chat GPT
and then
oh fuck
wow why do we have to
that's chat GPT
JD to you.
Okay.
You know, the funny thing is,
we could ask ChatGPT to write us the script for that movie of somebody using ChatGPT.
Actually, ChatGPT wrote this episode.
I don't know if you know that, Carmen.
Like everything that's coming out of your voice.
Is ChatGPT.
I'm ChatGPT.
We all are.
In a way, we all are in a way we all are chat gpt that's gonna be some fucking
dumb ted talk when we're at the precipice of like cultural apocalypse when they're like in a way we
are all chat gpt and we should embrace the fucking darkness chat gpt was more about the ai you made
along the way you you know? Fuck.
All right.
Let's take a quick break and we'll wrap this wonderful episode out
by talking about the whitest trial of the century
right after this.
When you think of Mexican culture,
you think of avocado, mariachi,
delicious cuisine,

It was December 2019 when the story blew up.
In Green Bay, Wisconsin,
former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila
caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends
at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian,
now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite.
I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning.
In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron,
and the consequences for everyone involved.
You mix homesteading with guns and church,
and then a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked.
Voila! You got straight away.
I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible.

I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast.
As the U.S. elections approach,
it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever.
But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast,
I'll share what the science really shows,
that we're surprisingly more united than most people think. We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics,
and that we need to do better and that we can do better.
With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki.
It's really tragic. If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison.
We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with,
are more generous than we assume.
My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us
are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in
relationships with each other all that on the happiness lab listen on the iheart radio app
apple podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts and we are back uh Gwyneth Paltrow just want to touch one just put a bow on the Gwyneth Paltrow
ski trial where you know the 76 year old optometrist sued her because he's like she
ran into me and I can't enjoy wine like I used to.
Well, he lost that case.
Why'd you sound like DMX right then?
Yeah.
Like one of those interludes.
She ran into me.
I come to you.
She ran into me as I tried to ski.
God.
Like.
My fucking neighbors are like, what the fuck is going on over there my dogs are like this is
normal i'm making a fucking podcast just letting them know uh but yeah the trial has ended uh and
she has been guindicated and awarded one dollar in damages which she countersued for because for
her she was like oh honey it's not about the money for me i just know you're gonna lose
and apparently a lot of memes are coming out of this trial i kind of was avoiding
this shit because i'm like this is fucking like i have other things to worry about plus i was in
the middle of like parental leave but i saw the memes that were coming out during the trial but
apparently the last moment really gave everybody a tickle because as she you know left the courtroom
after winning her one dollar she leaned over to the dude suing her and she just whispered, I wish you well, to which he applied.
Then he say something.
He's like, thank you, dear.
And it set off like a ton of memes where people were like putting it into, you know, the menu or Game of Thrones.
Oh, my God.
Just to be.
Someone said, I wish you well is,
uh,
Brentwood for bless your heart.
Exactly.
I was thinking that too.
Yeah.
Which I,
hold on,
let me find out who tweeted that.
Cause I want to make sure,
uh,
like when they see each other at those parent teacher conferences,
it's going to go down.
You know what I mean?
Oh yeah.
Bless your heart.
Oh,
what the fuck?
That was like,
someone knows that tweet from a Kesha song. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. Bless your heart. Oh, what the fuck? Bless. That was like also from a Kesha song.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, a lot of people are doing some version of.
Okay.
I guess many people, like when things like this happen, they've just completely turned it.
I've seen like a thousand versions of this.
I guess that's California or West Coast almond mom's version of bless your heart.
Anyway, so that is what's happening in that trial it is
over apparently i didn't realize how much of a goop ad the trial was so what was what was like
were there multiple items she was wearing or was it like one thing what was going on with that
i i mean i don't know the details i just know that everybody was like this is giving goop so
much like media attention because every time like she's associated with goop. So every time like she is brought on like everybody, that's like what all everybody was talking about. It's like how unhinged goop is. moi they clocked something they were clocking her turtleneck the turtleneck sweater and they're
like that shit is from goop it's from her very own g label so i mean look master marketer you
open up with a she brought her pussy candle to the courtroom i know she's yeah she's like oh i
can't do doing her affirmations religious practice wait they did try to give they did try to give
like the bailiffs and the court people a snack did you see that a goop snack i don't know i thought it was gwyneth's people but
i can't remember it might have been yeah it was gwyneth's lawyer because it was the lawyer who
was like hey i just want to be up front with you guys uh we brought a treat for all the people in
the courtroom who have been helping us and then like the other team was like no you can't give
them like pastries or whatever the fuck it was so it was such a bake-off you know what i mean like it's like the mean mom at
the bank at the kids school in charge of the really came in full goop on their asses she went
ahead of the testimony the the 50 year old oscar winner civil trial in uh park city her attorney
steve owen said quote private security for my client wanted to bring in treats for the bailiffs
for how helpful they've been. So I
wanted to do that transparently and see if
there are any objections.
You know that she's pissed that
in all of these articles, it lists her age.
You fucking know she's mad.
Oh, yeah. I mean, look,
again, that
skincare routine, I gotta ask you,
Carmen, how much of Gwyneth you think is the skincare and how much Look, again, that skincare routine. I got to ask you, Carmen. It's been good.
How much of Gwyneth do you think is the skincare and how much is basically being so fucking wealthy
and having good genes that you can quite-
Zero stress.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, what is it?
Because I always, like, we always talk about this,
especially with, like, famous people
who are, like, on this wellness shit.
And they're like, all I do is eat colloidal silver
and blah, blah, blah.
And they're like, no, motherfucker. Youoidal silver and blah blah blah and they're
like no motherfucker you grew up wealthy that's not all they do got blue yeah they have a they

she doesn't eat from plastic i think i've mentioned know, right. No, she eats clean. She eats clean. She doesn't need from plastic.
I think I've mentioned this before.
I was on,
I was directing a video when I like was working at like vanity fair,
Connie and ass thing with her.
And we had lunch brought in,
but like,
it was like room service from this really nice hotel.
But one of the things like a condiment or something was in a plastic
container.
And she's like,
Oh no,

I'm at Paula Vegan Allen everywhere.
And I'm going to be like kind of like touring in the bay in the fall probably and doing some shows and i don't know what i don't know what to call it but like
arizona vegas colorado utah like that's not the midwest that's not the south that's like that
bermuda triangle or isn't it called like the the mountain west or something like that i guess but
nobody says like nobody knows what the fuck that yeah, there's the Rockies and everything in Utah.
I think it's probably the Rocky Mountain Tour.
My Rocky Mountain Tour.
I'm going to start wearing denim and stuff.
Or I'm thinking of the Mountain West Conference
because of how nice it is.
Yeah, I mean, Mountain Standard Time.
But then Arizona is way fewer mountains.
But they don't fuck with Daylight they don't fuck with daylight savings either.
You know,
they're on their own wave over there.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
Okay.
So you're going on,
you're going on tour in that region.
Yeah.
I'm going,
I'm trying to put together tours.
So check out my socials,
follow me.
I'll post like ticket links and stuff.
Would love to see you guys.
Uh,
once I am starting to travel and doing that stuff later in the year and in
line with being a standup,
I saw this tweet and there was a quote tweet of it.
So at Suzanne Young posted,
if you ever want to see a career low point,
this is it, crying my entire way home.
And it was a picture of a bunch of empty seats
at what would have been a book reading
in like a bookstore.
So clearly she like had a book
and was supposed to do a reading and no one showed up.
And then JP McDade, who's a comic who's
very funny he quote tweeted it and he was like comic we'll start in like five like we're still
gonna do the show oh shit i was like yeah that's the most comic shit ever i love that um a tweet
i like is from uh alex goldman at a goldman tweeted today is from Alex Goldman at a Goldman tweeted.
Today is my last day as a verified Twitter user.
And to honor that, I just wanted to say that this account was never run by Alex Goldman.
My name is Darren Scrimshaw and I live in Upper Sandusky, Ohio.
And I've been impersonating Alex Goldman on here for over a decade.
But yeah, because a lot of those old, those verified marks are going away
and the only people that are going to have them
are the people who love to give Elon Musk their money.
But it's nice to see other people,
I think a few newspapers are like,
fuck that, we're not giving you a fucking thousand dollars
a month or some shit.
Yeah, that's insane.
But I can't imagine what that will do
down the road with misinformation.
But anyway, we will, you know, we'll get to that when we get there.
