They don't let grampa have the remote, yet they want to give him a gun?

Rape culture is a major force in our society. When I mentioned Cosby at work, a coworker attacked me. He slammed me with all the regular tactics: they're liars, they're after his money, they're jealous of his success, he rejected them and they're just trying to tear him down, the girl in Duke lacrosse lied. After he finished his rant, yelling at me in the office, I calmly said, "I don't know about any of that, but Cosby admitted it in his deposition." After a pause, he mumbled, crawling back to his desk, "I don't anything about that." No shit Sherlock, you don't fucking know anything at all, you just defended a fucking rapist. Being wrong never stops these fucking idiots.

I’m in Daytona Beach for Rockville Music Festival and this is my room number. I couldn’t stop laughing when my husband walked up to me from the front desk. He said, “can you guess what room number we got?” I said, “666?” He said, “it’s not an accident your birthday is Halloween.” I had to post this lol love you Tom & Cecil. Fuck you Ian. https://imgur.com/gallery/uPk0fAg

I want to kinda push back on the school shooting thing bc we already do build schools to be essentially bullet resistant fortresses. The idiot Marsha Blackburn is offering solutions we already have and use. It’s actually an issue w kids and their ability to learn when they’re basically in a prison in their schools. There’s bullet resistant glass, there’s multiple gateways to enter a school, armed guards walking around and even police. This all has a education cost attached to it especially when there’s multiple assemblies and active shooter drills children have to do which also takes time away from their education.

Thank you so much for this episode. I'm a 45-year-old woman in TN where we have one of the strictest abortion bans. I have high blood pressure among other inherited conditions that make pregnancy and childbirth extremely dangerous for me. My spouse and I also don't want children. We can't afford to move. I'm terrified every month. I've been very lucky & never needed the procedure, but I've been there for friends who have needed it. We've donated golf umbrellas to shield ppl entering clinics (when we still had them) from being filmed by protestors. The situation is untenable.

You talk about the “intimate room effect”, but what it sounds like to me is a safe space for hate. Maybe a “hate space”?

If you're a longtime listener, as I also am, than you would know that Tom & Cecil aren't the types to engage in gay erasure. I honestly think they were just making a general, on-the-fly joke about a public figure who has been ridiculously all over the place with his lies and behaviors, and didn't see the need to make their point hyper-specific. Also, remember that Santos was in fact married to a woman at one point, and I don't think anybody but Santos himself knows exactly where he is on the sexuality spectrum; he may be more fluid than you realize. Pigeonholing him as a strictly gay man may be just as egregious as supposedly erasing his sexuality altogether. I'm also quite sure the guys know all about his drag queen history. It might be a good idea to lighten up a bit when listening to a comedic show like this.

George Santos is a deep state mole! His real name is George Soros VIII and he's a relative rather than one of the clones.

Hi, I'm a longtime listener, and enjoy your show and messages but I have a tiny bit of feedback on the George Santos bit. You did a shtick about him having a girlfriend in Canada but he is famously an out gay man. I know it might not seem like a big deal but gay erasure is still a thing even if it is unintentional. Based on all the years of listening, I know you wouldnt erase someone's sexuality on purpose. I know you probably didn't mean it but figured you would appreciate the feedback since you all seem receptive to feedback. I also know if it were me I would want to know. Also, one of the big scandals is that he is a republican congressman who used to be a drag queen so I'm surprised you didn't know that given how much the right hates drag queens. K thnx bye!
