Also in transphobia, Gavin Newsom canceled. Today in What the Fuck. Survey, U.S. religious groups support LGBT plus rights fighted on medical care for trans minors. Quick tea, we discussed more stock market crashing and Gwen Stefani's canceled. LOL. Do any of you queens know about any of these things?

I don't know if she's actually officially stated her, political preferences, but I think that she was making some kind of like christian app and people are just kind of realizing that she's just like conservative as fuck but she an oc girl so that's what i'm saying i'm like we shouldn't be surprised yeah like didn't we done been known she's from orange county right and also like she has appropriated so many cultures so many cultures

so like i mean what other culture can she come after next like christian so of course there's nothing for else and then she married a country guy. Yeah. Like, okay. Like, if you... No, I won't say that. But that's happening. That's funny. That's very sad. I love Gwen Stefani. I do. I ain't gonna lie. Even with her appropriations. I was always like... Because back in the day, it was like we felt like that was more like appreciation.

But then once we started, you know, fine-tuning what was actually taking place, it was like, uh-oh. Maybe because she never... Did she appropriate Black culture ever? I mean, in a... Not... not as obviously as a bendy no no doubt their whole rock steady album is not all right but black culture i mean it's black culture but they in the pro like in the sense of like she didn't come out like well shit i mean i guess they was like wearing like.

That's like low right because nobody thinks about that whatnot right because it wasn't like when she was doing the the what's called it girls like coming out with like the oh the harajuku bitches yeah yeah yeah you know she just like had like these like ethnic props exactly yeah and there was also a chumla culture because oh yeah it was enough for the back girl yep that luxurious phase or whatever oh okay yeah this is what you do to us gwen we give you all this leeway and right and then you

betray us for no damn reason like what was the what even so much grace right what What is the Christian app even for? Well, it wasn't even a Christian app. What I heard why she was getting canceled is because she was promoting a Tucker Carlson interview. And we know Tucker Carlson is nothing but garbage. The issue, right. You're done, bitch. Yeah. That's interesting. But yeah, that's so funny. I didn't even think about the ska thing.

Because I guess white people have taken ska and that shit so much that you don't even associate it with black people anymore. I mean, rock comes from black people, too. Yeah. All of it comes from us. Dang, Gwen. You saw the cholas. You saw the Indian look. You saw the Harajuku Barbie. What else did you get? Well, I hope you had fun. You can't wear any of that shit no more. I mean, right. That's also true. Canceled. So sad. That was like literally my childhood. No doubt.

Oh, yeah. I mean, everybody. I mean, no doubt was the shit. That was like high school that was like, Well, shit, that was, ha, ha, damn. That was, yeah, that was like junior year, high school. Oh, Gwynny, bye. R.I.P. Not R.I.P. We hardly knew you. Oh, girl, Gwyn. I don't want to put this character on blast, but Daddy Newsome can also follow suit. Or, yo. Man, when I heard that shit, I was like, bitch. I was like talking so good about your stupid ass.

Right. Everybody loved Eddie Newsome. So it's like this has to either be like some kind of ploy or plot for him to get the other side thinking or like or put or just actually get his name out in the press. Watch he be like covert, secret, like what is it? Conservative the whole time? Just got our democratic votes and tried to trick us to get an office.

I mean, people do switch affiliation like that oh they know i mean donald trump did look at right donald trump did it his motherfucking vice president did it so i'm like hillary clinton it's on bland for the white folks robert garcia oh i was actually thinking about that i was thinking about the idea of people switching parties and if because i feel like when we see somebody switch parties we automatically see them as like a non-viable person and like they've automatically look suspicious and

like not for as if they don't stand for what they stand for. Right. Like. Let's say that Trump switched parties from Democrat to Republican because he's only trying to play whoever he thinks can give him money, right? Yeah. And so it kind of seems like if somebody has a different party affiliation in their past, they can't brush it away anymore. You know, I feel the issue isn't necessarily that they're switching parties.

I feel like the issue comes in when people question about it and they try to brush it off and don't explain why they changed or how their ideals change because i saw that with hillary clinton because when people confronted her like hey like you were doing this you know during this year like why it was kind of just like a complete brush off and being like oh hey like i'm gonna take ownership that that's what i believed in the moment but here's

xyz and how i grew and changed This is where I stand now. Like, own your shit, own your past. Own your shit, yeah. And then acknowledge where you are now. Like, that's as simple as it is. But people don't do that. And I think if people did that, then it wouldn't be some of the time. It wouldn't be no issue because people change. We realize, you know, people do change regardless of what it's about. But just like you said, Dr. Mikey, is that it's about accountability. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

But y'all boy, Daddy Newsome. Because I was thinking about Robert F. Kennedy also. Oh, my God. He's just all of them. it's all of them does he have like a disease does he have something probably should I not make fun of his voice I don't even listen to him so I don't even know what he sounds like yeah he sounds like the listener.

But uh our great well let me not say great former our California Governor Gavin Newsom repeatedly agreed with the MAGA puttin it back on his, newsom's new podcast which premiered on march 6th so while speaking to kirk for the first episode of this is gasom newsom the democratic politician sought advice from the conservative pundit about reaching out to younger voters given that republicans first of all i don't know why you had him on your fucking podcast

thank you that's another that's a first fucking almost like why you ever got this motherfucker on here i did okay it's beside the point i want to hear both sides, You already know how to get the young vote. So what is you talking about? Right. So that's already like, okay. How do you get the young votes? Have washboard abs and show them on fucking Instagram. Duh. Put your ass in the sand. And so the Republicans made steep inroads with the youth vote in the 2024 election.

So Kirk responded that Newsom and the Democrats must get better ideas about also run to the middle, which is like the right-wing politician activist brought up the issue of trans athletes in sports. So our boy was like... Yeah, like, it's all about fairness. Sports technically is about being fair. First of all, that's also a fucking lie. Refs get bought every goddamn fucking game. So that don't even make sense.

So Kirk, the Republican, was like, you right now should come out and be like the young man that's about to win the state championship and the long jump in female sports. That shouldn't happen, Kirk said. So U.S. Governor should step up and say no. After this more oblique reference, Kirk specifically called out trans athlete who has become a target of tabloids and right wing publications by name. And then asked whether Newsom would consider coming out against trans athletes in sports.

He said, I think it's an issue of fairness. It's deeply unfair. Newsom said I am not wrestling with the fairness issue.

I totally agree with you. so apparently sensing that he was in an opportunity to sway the governor kirk then appalled i mean appealed to newsome as the father of two daughters while noting that kirk is a father to a daughter himself i reverb sports so the issues of fairness is completely legit newsome said despite newsome's claim the fairness concerns are completely legit several studies maintain that there is no scientific basis for abandon trans women

from playing sports with cis women and that trans women may in fact face several competition competitive disadvantages and competitions against cis women newsom went on to say that republicans were able to weaponize that issue in the recent election cycle but eventually walked even that mild criticism back when kirk called it out for being too harsh not weaponized kirk said shine a light on highlight in a way newsom agreed while

newsom said many times that he agreed with kirk on the issue he did ask kirk about the human side of the issue, referring to the trans community as these poor people, Newsom said. These poor people are more likely to commit suicide, have anxiety and depression. The way people talk down to vulnerability communities is an issue that I have a hard time with as well. So both things I can hold in my hand.

How can we address the issue with the kind of decency that I think is inherent in you, but not always expressed in the issue. So you said all of this and did all of this to see, to play your empathy card on the subject of trans and sports?

It sounded to me, like if he's actually like saying the truth about how he's like empathetic towards trans people and their downtrodden lives as he sees them that maybe there is work that still needs can be done with him maybe he's not educated enough because i was just having this conversation with my co-worker literally about should trans people be in sports and he is also not transphobic but he also claims that he doesn't see that it's fair.

And so we got into this big conversation about it. The thing that's happening in his mind, the scene that he sees, is a big, giant, macho man dressed in a dress punching a skinny woman in the face. Right. And that's what he imagines. And so he's like, how could that be fair? That could be a possibility to happen and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And then I just was like, one, if you're actually talking about a sport that somebody's punching somebody, they have weight division classes they don't have first of all they don't have big giant buff men who are like 300 pounds punching 150 pound men right like that's not even how it fucking works to begin with and two what was my what was my second thing that i said i said shut up no shut up dumb bitch no all this comes down to fucking toxic masculinity because you can also have a pickup

game at the fucking y and that's male and female a female can go in there and whoop a whole team's ass playing basketball and then these dudes get upset so it's like it's not it don't even come to exactly you know i'm saying so like what what is it what is that and then i told them now what and then i told them bitch i'm pretty sure serena williams could beat my fucking ass and i was like and she's a straight-up woman yeah i was like there would be no contest i was like, and how is that fair?

But like, you don't see the way that you see women is you see them all looking like.

Fucking i don't know whatever a skinny white lady with blonde hair is that's how they only see women as like 21 year old bodied women yeah and it's like they don't imagine that women can be anything else besides a weak frail thing so it's kind of like they just see women as the constant vict even though they don't give a fuck when actually men are like harming women i just think i just think these people have seen like Juwana Man went too many times.

Right, exactly. Because I think that's what they envision. That's what they envision. It's shit like, this ain't like motherfuckers playing dress up. These motherfuckers are changing their lives. They're thinking it's like Noxzema with like big bulging biceps and a wig. I mean, yeah, I think organizations should really talk to him, educate him. Did you see that one video where they're like not letting Democrats in town

halls or whatever and saying they're private events. No. Yeah, I guess they're checking people's party affiliations at some doors of some town halls. And then they're claiming that they're private events actually, not town halls. That's interesting. Republicans only. Did y'all hear about more politicians? Eddie Martinez? I heard about that, but I was like I was like, why does that sound like y'all just investigating him because you don't like him and he's gay?

That's not the one that did the prayer of nothing, is it? No. So according to Philip Zonkle at the Q Voice News, he reported that gay Latino councilman Eddie Martinez of Huntington Park is being investigated for possible corruption. In 2019, the city council agreed to create the Huntington Park Regional Aquatic Center, 30,000 square foot, two-story building with an Olympic-sized pool, gym, football field, conference rooms, and much, much more. Since then, 14 million has been used.

The residents of the city have only received an empty lot with dead grass and nothing to show for those millions of dollars. Okay, I didn't read the article, so maybe that's... So yeah, so this gay Latino council person is being investigated for corruption because there's a lot of money missing and no progress on this little center. I mean, maybe they were waiting to start building. Not the stand offending. I'm just a construction daddy myself, so I mean... Well, no, maybe maybe you know this.

So I was reading the article and part of it was the you had to come in like test the soil to see if you could build on it. Correct. Yeah. So the soil was contaminated and needed they need to do something with that. So is that would that money go to like that or how much is that? I mean, I don't know how much something like that would cost, but things in construction are like super expensive that you like would like for no reason.

It's not for no reason but things are so fucking expensive like and things are super expensive and then also like no movement can happen for a long time sometimes just depending on like what like so many different factors that come into play and then i mean i've been on some construction sites where I've started a job like doing like one certain thing on the building and then we literally, like don't come and like we haven't even finished it and we don't come back

and literally like a year later we'll come back and it's like oh what the fuck like what happened this building like we still didn't even finish.

And it's like why the fuck haven't we finished and it's like why did we never go back and then it's like.

Also with like the way that like so many different industries sometimes are what do you call it pressed like we're all pressed like everyone's pressed here everyone's pressed there like my job like we're always we're always running late right and it's like i'm always asking the question like why don't we hire more people why don't you schedule better like what the fuck is going on here like what the fuck and he probably had the same fucking questions and so it's like why is nothing ever fucking

happening i don't know and so i can see maybe maybe something happened where like just like no movement happened and it's like what was the time frame since 2019 okay well maybe not they did it yeah they did a contract and they gave it to someone in 2019 and then a few months later they were like actually we're gonna pull that contract and we're just gonna take bids and so they got someone i think the same year but you know but i mean it would be also very easy for

you to just show your receipts right so it's like well no the money went here right i mean that's probably also true but i'm assuming like shit fucking you should be at the motherfucking budget that's who you should be at because they don't release all the funds to him the funds are sitting in your so when he give you a receipt you give him the you pay the fucking invoice.

So i think they they saying that something about like corruption in regards of like we don't know where the money went but yeah there's no they're only going off hearsay they have no and that's why they did the raids so they can see if they can find some shit but you're going off of just like nothing yeah but at least that's what they're reporting they're not reporting what they found yeah or like why they're they're just saying they had the funds haven't been used and then as well people are

saying like where the fuck is this at yeah because it wasn't just him that got yeah it was like 11 motherfuckers yeah it was 11 11 people and some of them were other city officials not just council people was like someone in that department you're talking so it's like why are we highlighting the gay man right well because everybody else is corrupt and yeah Yeah, in the industry, I mean, I mean, I don't even know that many stories, but I already know that it's corrupt and I know that like.

People embezzle money all the time because it's construction and a lot of people in construction are, like, fucking from jail. Like, what do you want to tell you? Like, a lot of my coworkers are literally on drugs. Like, what the fuck? OSHA violation. And they're not just weed. Much harder drugs. Damn. So, like, I mean, I'm not shocked.

But to them, to have to be, like, highlighting this gay council member is kind of like, girl, get the spotlight off of him because everybody else, all these millions of straights are guilty of this shit every day. So they also raided the mayor and two other council peoples. Oh, we'll see. Yeah. But this article was just focusing on him. Oh, okay. Well. Because he did so much for the community as well. Oh, yeah, he did a lot. Right.

So previously, before coming to councilman, He was 19 years with the Latino center in that area to, you know, provide, you know, HIV and AIDS awareness and health care incentives and things of that nature. I mean, I can also see that being true at the same time, because the way that I feel like I've seen in the industry is like that everybody does think they have this like narrative that they're all like great men. Like they're all like just doing great. The one that does the work. Uh huh.

Like all of them. They like all these like guys, they think they're just like the top man and like in life. And like because they do like work, they think it's real men's work or something. And like, even if they had like a criminal past, they think now that they have this job, they have now been like stepped up in and enlightened as a person, I guess. So, even when they're committing these frauds and these crimes and embezzling all this money, they still think they're good people.

They don't even think they're doing anything bad, really. They kind of just feel like, oh, this is like, yeah, I can just get away with this because it's so easy. And no one's checking me because it's all just straight men. And we all just don't check on each other because, hey, if you're getting something, then I guess it's kind of like more power to you, brother. Ain't that what Teresa's husband went to jail for? Who's Teresa?

Housewives of new jersey i mean i don't know i didn't watch it but you know maybe but yeah i. That's crazy like but it's funny though because i feel like you hear like a lot of stories about like criminal shit that like these people do and it's kind of like nobody cares because like a lot of the people who are in this industry are like already like former criminals themselves or like reformed whatever or like drug addicts too or whatever like no there's a lot of good clean guys

honestly there are tons of them that are in this trade because you actually have to be now i'm just saying because there are i mean minus the fact that they're all probably homophobic and transphobic but in their own little world you know they're like clean individuals okay upright citizens, other than being homophobic and transphobic. I don't know if y'all can tell with his tone, but he put up air quotes.

So I don't want y'all to be like, oh my god, he's assuming all these people are like... I don't know why I'm going into this. I just feel like, why is that gay man being spotlighted on that? It's unfair. Right, it is. Retract this article. Retract this article. More power to the gay man. But I'm assuming, maybe they brought it out because now, because the. Fucking White House is trying to take away funding for HIV and AIDS prevention.

So maybe that was like to bridge the gap of like. McCarthyism. Right. Bridge the gap of the lavender scare. Of the. We're going to use the fact that you're gay to monitor you. There you go.

All right. What else? Okay. No, I was thinking of something totally different. My apologies. I was going to say, not to say that people who are former criminals or drug addicts are bad. I don't think they're bad. I'm just saying that this is the background of people in the industry. But also... I was like, what are you talking about? But on that note, also, because I was just kind of saying a lot of people in the industry are criminals and drug addicts. But they are.

But me being one of them, I'm also a drug addict. Right. What industry is it? But I was going to say, what industry isn't Hollywood definitely is that. Welcome to Hollywood. That's another thing that people don't realize about the entertainment industry is that there are a lot of people who have criminal backgrounds in it. Because nobody ever actually does any background checks or research when nobody vets anybody.

And they're in the mouth, right? Right. That person's cool. That person does some cool art, so we're going to get them. Yep, yep. Zero fucks given about your. Actual background or pedophilic thirst. Y'all still thirsty? I got one article. So U.S. religious groups support LGBTQ plus rights divide on medical care for trans minors. So according to Yonat Shimran at Religion News, religions are showing support for some LGBTQ plus issues.

The survey, part of the American Values Atlas, which includes 22,000 adults from across the U.S., polled four times over the course of 2024, shows that support for same-sex marriage and non-discrimination protection for LGBTQ plus people remain strong. 10% of Americans identified as LGBTQ plus in 2024. Generation Z Americans born between 1997 and 2012, had the highest number of people identifying as LGBTQ+, at 24%.

The youngest American adult have shown a gradual decrease in support for LGBTQ+, non-discrimination laws from 80% in 2015 to 73% in 2024. 58% of Americans oppose such refusals. Among religious groups, Latter-day Saints at 40% and Jehovah Witnesses at 37% and White Evangelical Protestants at 31% are the only faith groups where majority support religious-based refusals for LGBTQ plus people. So they're the people supporting, you can't get this cake. I can't give you the cake because you're gay.

Right. Yeah. Among religious groups, Christians and Muslims of all denominations do not support gender transition medical care for minors, according to the survey. So religion keeps on being transphobic and homophobic, y'all. I'll just say we have small latch on them and we just need to dig our claws deeper. Or like, what was the, like, tell me all the statistics all over again. Okay, so 10% of Americans are within the community in 2024.

Gen Z has the highest number of people identifying within the community at 24%. And... The youngest American adults have shown a gradual decrease in support of LGBTQ plus non-discrimination laws from 80% in 2015 to 73% in 2024. 58% of Americans oppose such refusals. So 58% of people don't agree with denying a gay couple a cake. Okay. So real quick, that seems like that's off. Because if a Gen Z was born in 97, they really didn't get no time to fucking vote yet anyway.

They don't turn 21 until what, 2027? Are they just like a poll asking their opinion? Like, right. Because they expect that shit to be given to them in regards of like, that should be human law. That should be natural law. Where are you getting these numbers? How many people are you polling? Right. It's just like, it should be, they don't, of course, it's going to be declined because they feel that it's a given. But I feel like even if it's 75%, that means what? The opposite? 25% agree?

But I thought he said that they don't, the decline in rights for... Non-discrimination laws went down. Mm-hmm. From 80% to 73%. To like 73%. Because they're learning. They feel like it should be given. So, like, of course it's going to go down, their process, because they're probably like, they was like, I don't care about that. That should already be. Oh, something that's. You know what I'm saying? Like, that should be given.

I think I'm a little high. But, on the other hand, I don't understand. But I think also, like, there's a lot of stock being put into, like, what Gen Z thinks for some reason. Right. And it's like a lot of people are being like, oh, they think this. And it's like, who gives a fucking shit what they think? They're like 21. Right. And it's like, I don't give a fuck. Obviously, they think stupid shit. They're still dumb kids. Right. They don't even know gay people because they think.

Everybody's fluid. Exactly. I don't know. Yeah. But like, cause I have like, I feel like, but I've also met every Gen Z person, guy that I've ever met on the job. Like I've felt way more comfortable telling them I'm gay than anybody my age or older.

Yeah. like every time i've met somebody who i'm working with and they're like there i'm like oh yeah my i'll just say my boyfriend and i don't feel any kind of like fear that they're gonna reject me and they don't but like when i do say my boyfriend or whatever to people who are our age or older there is always like oh now we have to have a mini discussion about that like that i know like oh you're gay but it's like when it's a gen z person but we don't have to have that discussion and

you know what i think it is i think it's because they have grown up with fucking gay people on tv and you've seen them yeah so they're like oh that's normal yeah i mean and they don't have to fucking question everything everything but also yeah like i don't know why everybody gives a fucking shit about what they think like who fucking cares nobody asked millennials what they we thought when we were 21 they just said oh they're so into their cell phones they're so selfish.

I ain't going to tell you what I was thinking at 21. But I think it's still important to understand where they are, to know what the youth are thinking and how they feel about things, because they're going to be the future. They're going to be ones making laws for us one day, you know, so we understand where they're at, you know. And I do think there are a lot more queer people because there is representation a lot more, you know, and I think that's why representation is so important to have.

I think they do focus a lot though on like the conservative ones because it is like there's like a weird misconception that like young people are naturally liberal for some reason. And it's like I feel like there's lots of young people who are extremely conservative. And it's because they don't know anything. And it's like they have never experienced the world. So they're scared of everything and they don't know what anything is. Exactly. So it's like of course that's

like a natural way they're going to be. Have to drive a car?

Yes. You got to drive a car. Get your hands up out there. like you know they scared to do but i think like the reality is is like they're like way smarter than they're getting credit for like i feel like the media is showing like gen z allegedly is super conservative and they're voting stupid and i'm like i don't even think that they even understand because like i remember when i was in high school and then i think it was like arnold schwarzenegger was running

for governor oh yeah like i was like oh we should vote for him because he's cool like so i mean like what the fuck like even i has stupid ass fucking thoughts when i was like a like a young person and it's like i was in the midwest like i didn't know anything other than my california like i really didn't know anything other than he was like a movie star who was buff and i was like that was it so i'm like i'm pretty sure like a kid

who's voting for trump doesn't really know anything else besides and they know him as a reality star exactly because they got his rebrand and i don't know how much they're researching like political political yeah or like oh yeah like. Mm-hmm. All that. Yeah, because I mean, I'm in a really, what I would consider a very, like, heteronormative industry. Mm-hmm. And so, but the young guys in it, they're not like that. They're not, they're just not like that.

I love that. See? Growth, progress. Yeah. Progress. There will be the ones to save us. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. When it's their time, they'll be nice and ready. What other stupid fucking, there's whale sex again. I don't care. Whale sex. Do I care?

Did y'all see the calvin klein oh with bad bunny with bad bunny yeah oh shit i was gonna look at that today how many how many queer kids had their awakening it's always underwear it's always underwear i think it's also kevin klein because i mean i think i've we remember that back in the day yeah like it was like kevin klein underwear line down walking down jc penny or some shit Don't look at it. Right. Just a little, just a little peripheral view. I forgot that's why I don't have,

because I don't have. You don't have the tickety-tock. That's why I didn't see it. What was it saying? That he's bonerlicious? Yeah. So they just, it was just a campaign, you know, of him taking pictures in his underwear, you know? But I think it was just, it made me laugh because it was like, A, like My Gay Awakening was like underwear to, you know, the models. We talked about this, you know? Let's talk about it again.

Yeah why was the underwear the underwear aisle was so contentious that's the wrong word a contentious aisle. No yeah I would always get a. I mean, it was. It was definitely a naughty aisle. It was. But no, that was beautiful. It was a good photo shoot. But I still can't get over the fact, though. So he did have. Is he actually bi? And that's also like. I don't know. I ain't never seen. He asked if he was actually bi. I don't know if he's bi or pansexual.

I just feel like. I feel like that was just rumors. Right. Because I don't think he ever came out and said it. I mean, yeah, he's definitely fuckable. Like, I want him to be the bottom, though. See, I just seen, like, the steals. I didn't... I mean, he's a very attractive man. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I concur. Now, so I was having this conversation this weekend about... So did he actually have, like, face reconstruction? Did he? Because when he first came out, his face was a little bit fuller.

And I don't know if it's because did he have like y'all don't remember that? Let me investigate. When he first came out his face was way fuller. And so that was like now he has like a fucking jawline. And I was like he just don't look the same to me. Did he like could it be responsible like working out or is that too drastic? I don't know.

I think he just like had buckle fat removal yeah I forgot that's what he looked like, I would have took him then too you know what I'm saying like he was already skinny right, but I mean to be honest you don't have to have facial reconstruction he's probably just like anorexic as fuck because he probably in this photo like oh my god not me like what and like transvestigating him but like i could tell that he his body fat percentage probably looks a little high even

though he's like slim but i feel like once you go to hollywood everybody becomes anorexic it doesn't matter oh dang like did you even remember what's her fucking name from fucking uh yalitza whatever the fuck yalitza, from what the fuck was that movie Roma, I don't think I'll see she got skinny too I haven't seen her and when I saw that when I saw that she had gotten her face had gotten, much thinner I was like I didn't like that and I was like Hollywood got you Hollywood got you,

if you want to work look at Adele. Dang. The industry is evil. I always think, like, people who are, like, worried. This is so, like, sounding like Dark Sighted. But I'm like, people who, like, are, like, worried about their weight when they're, like, getting into, like, entertainment roles. I'm like, you're just going to become anorexic anyways.

You're just going to become skinny. It doesn't matter. Like, the fact that you're on camera or something, like, you just, everybody just ends up being worried about their looks and their appearances. Which I'm not saying is like a horrible thing. I'm just saying like it's going to happen. He becomes so focused. Like even like I don't know if anybody's ever watched these viral sensation Josh and Mama. No. But they're like these basically like I think they're from North Carolina or South Carolina.

But these like country folk and they talk like this. And they basically went viral because like they make like ultra white trash foods. And like I think people were like kind of watching them as like oh like what is this and then they like blew up and then she like reveals that she's like on Ozempic and has Botox and I'm like what girl like what like when she first started like she was like already still looks skinny, she's already like a thin person but then it was like,

I don't know. He was like, I guess, okay, so maybe he, I know, but I mean. So all that to say, I don't think he had facial reconstruction surgery. I think he probably just, like, has such a low body fat percentage at this point because he's probably just anorexic because they don't eat in Hollywood. That sucks. They just drink alcohol. Dang. Hey, that's where your calories come from. Anyways, on this episode of body negativity.

Okay, I was like, God damn, man. But, But to switch it over to another icon, John Garcia, co-owner of the historic Long Beach Gay Bar Ripples, had unfortunately passed away. Recipes.

And this is an article from Q Voice News. John Garcia, the longtime co-owner of the Long Beach Gay Bar Ripples, died Friday after a brief illness, his husband said.

Garcia was 79. so tonight i'm sitting at home alone in the dark with my heart aching and broken, poppy passed today at 225 p.m larry herbert 72 posted on his social media friday i made the choice to take him off the ventilator because he was not getting better and his heart and lungs were full of fluids his doctor said that his quality of life was not going to get any better either we had discussed this previously many times so i knew that this is what he will want harper said he's now

in paradise with his family and his pet stella cara sammy and sonny god bless you poppy and may you rest in peace in paradise i will love you forever so i just want to have us have a moment of silence for the co-owner of ripples as well as ripples, Let's share a Ripple's memory. Does anybody have a memory of the bar? Yeah. Getting fucked up? Oh, yeah, because I don't, honestly, I never met him, the owner. But I had to his bar. Oh, yeah. Most of the times.

I think you may have, well, you don't go out in, I mean, like, back in the day, he looked like familiar. I don't know, but here go a picture. Well, I never really looked at the older gentleman, but.

But i'm sure you see i always associated ripples with me not getting laid there like i could every time i went there i had zero luck really well i don't feel like it was like a hookup spot because it's not very really but you know i mean in regards of like because what's around what's around yeah that area doesn't really like it's not giving hey huh right it's given like beach and like... Straight almost? Yeah, because, you know, Second Street is right off the street.

It does almost feel like you could almost get hate crimed in that immediate area. Right? I always kind of felt like dicey because actually, I know why I felt dicey because that fucking parking lot at night gets fucking... That's a cruisy lot, I think. It is. It is cruisy for straights too. And straights are all up in that lot. And you always see like a bunch of straight guys up in that lot. But I have hooked... Up in that parking lot, I'm pretty sure. From somebody from Ripples?

No, but just somebody. And then I actually had a bad date there, too. At the parking lot? Wait, at Ripples? Or at the parking lot? At Ripples. If I was in the parking lot, it was most likely a good date. I'm pretty sure me and my fiance have made out in that parking lot. So that's until you remember for Ripples, you never got laid? I never got laid there. Okay, that's a good memory. And so I didn't like going there because I always thought like, well, I'm not going to get anything here.

You know, there's like bars that you go to and you feel like you're not going to ever score. Or is that just me? Because if you go in there with the intention of, then that's all you're going to focus on. But I feel like there's some bars that you go and you know you might score. All of them. You set your mind to it. Right. I remember Ripples. I went a few times, but I feel like every time I went, there was not a lot of people.

Yeah, same. Like, it wasn't really packed. But I think that has a lot to do with the location, like Christopher was saying. There's not other gay bars around, and the bars that are down the street are, like, way on the other end of the block. You know, you can walk it, but I like you don't want to walk in that neighborhood either. Yeah. I think that's probably why I never got laid, too, because there was always, like, never a lot of people in there. But I think that was back in the day.

Now it feels like it's more... Bumping? I haven't been there in like years. Yeah, I mean not the area itself because now they have like, they play the gay volleyball games across the beach a little bit further down but still, nonetheless, the presence is there. Isn't that Naples? No, because Naples is further down. Yeah. I like that area though. It feels like expensive.

Everything is expensive at this point but but i remember when because it was on on tabitha's like bar makeover show oh it was yeah yeah i'm pretty sure it was let me check so i don't know who the fuck tabitha is she's from bewitched oh and i went after the location and like it was I really liked it before and then when they remodeled I was like oh dang y'all did that it was really cool because I remember they had like the cabana bars yeah like the little

patio furniture yeah that was really cute because that's when we was going after the volleyball games to Ripples so that would be our bar that we would go to. And you know eat, drink but this is when volleyball just started so it wasn't a lot of people playing volleyball so it was only about what like Thank you.

11 of us going now that the league has like jumped a lot with members it probably would have done good comeback ripples i know there's somebody over there's some clientele over there yeah yeah yeah they're on in 2012 oh shit that was way before yeah oh i think i do remember that actually, And I do think I was there after the makeover. Yeah. I remember going before the makeover and like the upstairs was open. It was a dance floor and there was a DJ. I think it was like somewhere around Halloween.

It was like people were dressed as like Mario and Luigi. And they had like, it was pumping up there. It was kind of cool. Yeah. I mean, upstairs was a vibe too. But that's where you go to dance. Yeah. Dance house is more like a lounge. The lounge. Yeah. Chill. Talk. Try to hook up. That's almost like Seal Beach. area, right? No. Seal Beach is like further down. It's just right at Rosie's Dog Beach. Yeah. That's still all Long Beach. Even Naples is Long Beach.

Right. It's still Long Beach, but Seal Beach is further down. I'm like, where is it in my mind? Rosie's Dog Beach. Rosie's Dog Beach. If I could make a request, please make it a gated dog beach.

My dog's about to run into the fucking street i can't take my dog off leash there they why they they should be running towards the water girl dogs don't know anything why they most of them every time i see dogs they be chasing they be going to i feel like if you're having a dog area it needs to be a gated dog area because everyone has dogs off leash it's like that's not we need to have these off-leash dogs in a gated area they cannot be free to run freely across the street into a car.

That's what my dog would do my dog would chase a squirrel right into the street lights out because they get the little please get off rosie's dog beach that's my request thank you and then i will then i will go to the rosie's dog beach what the last time you've been the the last time that was the first time when i realized because we barely had the dog so we were like oh we can have this dog birthday for her we'll take her to the dog beach and invite all

the doggy friends and then i was like oh there's no gate and i was like oh wait she's not running around i can't take off the leash the fuck so but other people had their dogs off leash because they can go run around but i was like no you're not going off leash bitch because you're gonna kill yourself, but if they gated it i mean i haven't been back since and that was like it's not gated seven they got like those still not gated various exactly yeah but

dogs can jump over there gate it up and they want to get hit that bad they can jump over that gate it up lock her up. Her emails is that it for these fucking quick teas like longest quick tea run ever, no it's part it's part usual yeah exactly or is there more tea more conservatives to talk shit about is that it for these quick teas I guess it's it for these quick teas I'm good I'm no longer thirsty, I think these queens have deserved a break a little breaky break only because they have a union.

Music.

So today i wanted to talk about lady gaga's new album mayhem because we're gay and it's pretty obvious that she's like a gay icon mother monster so i figured maybe like gays might be interested but also like we're real gays so i feel like everybody always like assumes like every gay person is just in love with lady gaga like from start to finish but let's see what we think today, did you queens listen obviously you did yeah i

heard it when it first came out on that friday and just listen to it all the way through just listen to it just to give it an open mind and it had me listen to the lyrics and having a good time with it so i was like okay it's a different gaga for me but it's also like original gaga just a different style. So I'm excited to see how this is going to play out. We're going to go through every song, and we're going to just give our thoughts.

We're going to go, I'm going to say the first song in the world, but let's, yeah, the first, your first thoughts on the entirety, or like how did it come to you? I mean, it just came to me like, so I mean, like I enjoyed it because I was also working. So it was something to hear in the background, but also, you know, have a good vibe to it. It didn't really make me feel no crazy way. I think it'll do all right in some of the singles and shit, do all right in the club, in the streets.

In the streets? Right. Where it matters? Yes. I listened to it, but rather quickly. I was forced. So I was really exposed to the singles first. So I heard Disease. I thought that was kind of cool. and then Abracadabra which I thought I really like Abracadabra like it really gives me old Gaga like the Gaga that like I really love like Poker Face and that whole era like that's like my holy Gaga era so yeah, And after that, I kind of fell off. But it was nice to kind of feel those vibes again.

So I really appreciate that. And then scrolling through, it felt like very 80s disco, kind of music my mom used to listen to. Like the two of hearts. It's about Blondie. Yeah, yeah. And then Blondie, yeah. So I really appreciated kind of the influence of that and kind of the style of the music. It was really cool. And then, were you just doing overall? Yeah.

Uh i i feel like i have been getting like the entirety of the gaga propaganda like fed directly to my youtube because like i don't think that's how that works but i feel like well i had no i had seen that song that bruno mars song come out and then but i wasn't really paying attention to it and i felt like there was like a lot of like hype around it but i like wasn't even like trying to listen because i really don't care about bruno mars oh yeah

i appreciate it it's nice and then i saw the disease video when it dropped because my fiancee played it for us it was like we had music video moment and so he dropped it for us and we viewed it and then and then, abracadabra had come out and i think i think i also saw that first through the music video and then, I think I saw her on Hot Ones and then.

So you've seen her So I've been seeing Gaga and then what else and then the album dropped and then I listened to it, I waited to listen to it like for a car ride so I could just be like I just listened to it all the way through My fiance wanted to listen to it on the ride to my sisters but anyways I didn't want to listen to it then I wasn't in the headspace, So anyways, let's do it. And then, yeah. So I thought it was a good effort. Oh, okay.

So the first song, Disease, what did you think of that song? I like Disease. So Disease is going to always have my back. Because the video, when I first heard it, it was on that video release. And it was like it I just knew I was like oh I like it because it's kind of like goth or like a zombie almost but like she so disease is a thumbs up, I like the disease when I heard it as a single. I really liked it. Did you see the video?

I haven't seen the video. I haven't seen any of the video to this era. I, when I first saw the video, I thought like, Oh, like she's doing like her, like, yeah, her like dark creepy or whatever she's doing. Yeah. And I'm like, that's fun. I'm glad. But then I felt like, I felt like ultimately the video went nowhere. And I'm like, you're just in the parking lot or whatever. Which is fine. It was fine. I enjoyed her outfit in the video. I like the look, the ugly, gross look or whatever it was.

And then I thought the song was nothing, but then I ended up just singing it all throughout the week, not knowing. That's catchy. Yeah. And then it became in my car karaoke playlist. And so I was singing it today, too.

I'll sing it every time I hear it. Mm-hmm. and then abracadabra actually ended up liking that song a lot i agree when i saw the video i was unimpressed and then i was like oh i don't really care for this song but i was like i like the intro sound but then it grew on me slowly because i guess it's a cell slowly but then now i'm like it's also in my karaoke rotation now also oh oh your car karaoke my car karaoke yeah okay I'm gonna say oh that is,

that's ballsy bro I mean I would go up on the stage I don't give a fuck she own it she owns everything I think that's all I know of that song is Abracadabra. I heard, does it have like an actual spell in it? I heard in an interview she said that it was a spell. People are like, oh, abracadabra. And they're kind of like. I love the video. The video was, I love like the theatrics of it. Like she was like, it was like almost like a performance without much space.

You know what I'm saying? Because it was like just going back and forth. Minimalist. Right. And chaos.

Abracadabra. ooh la la I saw I saw a meme where it's like Gaga's at her best when she's just saying gibberish, Gardner made is fun I like that one too I did I did like Gardner made I feel like that was a grower also I'm pretty sure like I saw a video where she copied this entire red look from like some Hispanic artist or something oh shit, still in culture again is she giving it when She ain't giving a go on Stefani, is she? Okay. She's in the her.

But I feel like Garden of Eden is fun. It's catchy. It has, like, a lot of change-ups. Yeah. I feel like it's almost like a...

Which is very dancing oh yeah I'm probably sure, her fucking tour if she decides to go on tour I don't know what she's doing but that's gonna be, Garden of Eden has turned into a song that I sing to my dog oh which is funny, because and then I thought Perfect Celebrity was like a filler song I felt like I didn't like that song I felt like it went straight into the like after that uh.

The garden of eden like the tempo and shit i'll because unfortunately i've listened to it on youtube so you know you get that commercial every break so i don't know like on the album right so i don't know like on the apple if you're like supposed to like.

It sounds like it there's a few songs that sound right because you didn't mention that yeah like it was like oh that seemed like it goes right into it and you listen that's probably why it's a spell because it probably took you if you listen to it correctly so start to finish do the magic great okay i got youtube premium i said that i thought it was a filler song in front of my fiance and our friend and they were like oh they were like this is a song that i remember least on the album i will

say that wow okay i like the vanish into song ish i mean i really don't like slower songs i mean but it has like a lot of like 80s sounds which is like cute and reminiscent of 80s but that's like really about all that it's giving me and i'm like i'm not really trying to listen to the whole song i don't remember that one so you don't remember but i did enjoy the killer song that was a banger killer the minute it turned on i'm like yeah it's going to be more of days. Right.

When I was listening to that shit at work, it just, oh yeah, about to fuck some shit up. I saw it first on the SNL performance that she did that, because I saw the SNL performance on my YouTube, because it just had the clip of it. And I'm like, oh, this is actually a really good performance. And I was like, I really enjoyed her rainbow band that she had with her. It was super cute and 70s vibes, funky. It was giving me life. And then she's on the floor.

I liked her purple outfit, and then how she like transformed into her red outfit if you haven't looked at it go watch the snl performance it was a good performance for sure, But yeah, that song was fun. I know, I love it. It was like, on the corner, smoking some grass. They can handle this ass. I'm like, yes, it is a gay stoner boy anthem. Summer anthem, y'all. I'm definitely vibing with it. Yeah. Killer. I mean, shit.

Because I just seen it. I just heard it on the, when I first heard it, that's how I felt. Like, it was like, it just gave you a lot of energy. Made me feel good. Then shit. But you show, I've seen the performance. like you said, and it was good. She's a performer. Right? Yeah. Props to Guess F.L. Stein, whoever the fuck that is. I like the Zombie Boy song a lot. Oh, yeah. It's a good one, too. That one was super 80s vibes.

Yeah. I think that's when it started crossing over into, like, a deeper 80s vibe and feel after that song popped out. Like, yeah, I feel like when you said Blondie, like, that little ding sounds like that Rapture song. Even though she sings this one, it's very Rapture to me.

Yeah i feel like there's like a lot of the ways like a lot of the what is it melodies are like 80s ish yeah i like that and i don't know how to describe it full further than that yeah i mean it reminds me like i said that 80s disco like the two of hearts you know it was just i feel like a very like 80s sounding type of disco makes you want to dance boogie as the kids used to say, boogie boogie okay and unfortunately for me that's the end of the album Oh, wow. Only five songs? A little EP?

A little Lady Gaga EP? You don't like the rest? As soon as Zombie Boy's over, I'm like, okay, let's go back to Disease. Yeah, I don't like the rest of the album. I feel like every other song sounds like every other song. And they're all too, like, down-tempo and, like, melancholy. Yeah, I think because it smooths you. But you guys can talk about them if you like them. I'm done with this conversation. Goodbye. Turn my mic off. Out of here.

Wait, that's the only... Oh, it ain't going in order on this one. Oh, here you can look at the track listing. Ah, see. This is how I know I didn't listen to it properly. Oh, I'm looking at it. I was listening through Spotify. This is not a paper advertisement. So what was that? Oh, How Bad Do You Want Me? How bad do you want me? Now that was... It was no trumpet. How bad do you want me? I like that one. It was like a I feel like it was a cute love song.

Yeah, it wasn't bad but I felt like it's too like melancholy-ish. See, like that see, I think it's almost giving you back like you gotta get with a motherfucking star grinding and shit. Like, you know, it's like how yeah, it's a spell I guess. Ha ha! But grinding. I'm a bit. But I mean, I felt like the little like sound like is giving 80s also. Oh. I heard somebody say on Reddit that she possibly sampled Yazoo, which is an 80s band or performer or whoever they were.

Oh, he probably sampled it, did you say? Maybe, but I don't know if there's any definitive. I haven't looked up the actual, what is it, credits. I have not researched deep into the production. Because I only listened to it that one time and then if I would hear a song again it would either be on TV or the radio.

So what makes this not like a repeat album after you hear it because I know there's some artists where like Beyonce right like it plays and people like listen to that like non-stop well I feel like it's repeatable just up until, after zombie boy like I can definitely repeat it all up until zombie boy actually i i could take out what is the one after garden of eden perfect celebrity i can't go perfect celebrity yeah but it's just in the middle you can't i know

but i mean it's still a little bit more upbeat but yeah all the other songs are too melancholy i'm already repeating but too much is too soft yeah i'm like i'm not i'm not trying to listen to sad shit i'm like i'm trying to not be sad i'm trying to listen to happy shit so i can be happy, That's why when the Bruno Mars song had come out, I was like, oh, that's not giving me any hope.

But then when I saw the track listing and I saw Disease and Abracadabra as being the first two, I was like, oh, shit, the rest is going to be bangers. And then Garden of Eden gave me hope. And then Celebrity came out. And I was like, never mind. It's not bangers. But then Killa came back. And I was like, OK. She's got to bring you back in. I was like, you brought me back. And then Zombie Boy. And I was like, yeah.

And I was like, oh, that's cute. like a little homage to zombie boy do you know who zombie boy is no you remember i don't remember the video what video it was but she had a guy with like a skeleton tattoo face i believe i've seen and then he passed away also but he was zombie boy and so the song zombie boy now i guess, and that's a cute little song to remember him there's a little gaga character it's a great because i remember when i think it was the born oh he was like

a little kid No, he was a grown man with a tattoo. I forgot what music video he was in. I don't know if it was Born This Way or something like that. Anyway. Anyways. Then the next one is Don't Call Tonight. I don't remember that one. That was also, yeah. I mean, because, okay. Ha ha! Now that I think about it, I think that's... All the songs you don't hear about. But I do like Blade of Grass and Die With a Smile. Like, Blade of Grass, like, the lyrics were very nice. Right.

I like nice shit. But I'm not trying to listen to that. You ain't trying to hear that. It's like. She wants to dance. I know. I want to dance, not cry. Get us by line. You got to go through the emotions, man. No. And then, but then, what? Shadow of a Man? Also was skippable. Yeah, I always feel bad when, like, I'm just skipping through an album. And, like, everyone's like, what? That was the best song. But also, how many times did you listen to the first set that you do prefer?

I mean, I don't know, but more times than any of the other songs. I mean, I listened to the full album twice. Oh, okay. That's what I was going to, that's what I was getting at. And then I just keep going back to Zombie Boy and Killa. You did more than me. I mean, I'm still listening to Abracadabra and I'm still listening to Zombie Boy and Killa and then Garden of Eden more now that it's my dog's song. But I already sung Disease.

I already played that one to death. and I was mad that they didn't get fucking radio played yo like it really wasn't like it wasn't like the single, I thought it was gonna be like one of those motherfuckers I'm always confused because these huge stars are never on the radio like Beyonce is never on the radio and it's like how is that because they all pay to play and I feel like Gaga and Beyonce aren't gonna pay I mean that's probably I don't know how radio oh yeah cause

I was like shit I don't know because I want to say like that you still like have to your studio has to pay a lot of just pays you pays this radio station's money and then you yeah and then you just play they just play what you want them to play basically but they say they don't do that but we know what's up I don't know I haven't heard any new like.

Rock music on like kiss and forever and they also say that the rock genre is like dying because that people because like producers or like studios don't want to deal with full bands they'd rather deal with a solo artist oh and now i mean shit that do kind of make sense that sucks though it do sucks but i mean reality is like they all have huge bands but i mean i think if you're like having a like all of the band is like the star you know what i mean in

the creative process as opposed to like how beyonce has a huge backing band of millions of people you don't know their names right anyways were there any other songs that you remembered. Because there weren't any other that I did. And that for me, that's the only one. Is it Smile for me or Die for me? Die with a Smile? Die with a Smile. Die with a Smile. There is a song out by Bruno Mars and Rosé called... I haven't heard that one yet. Oh, wait, you mean... That's the one we were singing.

Apartment. Yeah, that song is like fucking stuck in my head. Look, it's a catchy one. It feels like a, do you know what Disney Descendants is? Yeah. It feels like a Descendants song. Ah, you are wild. You're wild. Because I was listening to the song, and I was like, I know, like, obviously they're Korean, and they have, like, a little bit of a different, like, musical style. But I'm like, this sounds like... Different in a way that I can't understand. And I'm like, oh,

yeah, it feels like a Disney song. Yeah. Sort of get what you mean. Because there's like literally like no pause for like, you know, when there's like pauses in music and it's it's like the silence is part of the experience. Like they had like zero of that. It's just like running the whole way through. It feels like a song that like everyone's smiling while they're singing it. Which is hard to do. But I've been doing it in the car to practice for one night. In front of executives.

Executive suites or executives? I saw the Gaga interview on Hot Ones and I felt like she was like really relatable. I didn't see it. I might have to watch that day. I feel like her and that guy needed to fuck. Who don't want to fuck Sean? I guess, right? Was it Sean? Yeah. I was like, I feel like they're like sparks of lying.

But she was cool are you guys little monsters no, what's your experience with Gaga she's not like my queen you know what I'm saying but I fucks with her when she first came out she was weird she was weird she was just like, very out of the norm which was great and it's what I feel like music needed, but it was also like a person that's able to do what they love and do it the way they want to do it. Oh, that's even motherfucking better.

You know what I'm saying? Like, so I was like, I was always like, I fuck with me some Gaga. Actress-wise, eh, how many I could. Take her or leave it. Right. You know, like. She's very analogous to like Madonna in like the way that her movie is also like not as bumping as she wanted it to be probably. That makes sense. I didn't even think about it like that. But yeah, she's cool though. But yeah. What did you think when Gaga first came on the scene, Doctor?

I liked it. I thought it was like really good dance music. And it came out like when I was going to the gay bar so like it was just banging got everyone dancing so it was great like party music.

You know what I am so sorry cause I forget the first time I seen Gaga gasp, like it was on that TV show The Heels I know what clip you're talking about well yeah like I remember seeing that episode it was like that's crazy, I just that just popped in my head so I just with her little like so my apologies, just put that into with those little crystal looks that she used to do, like all those like Joe like Joe like what are those called crystals she did

a lot of crystals looks bejewel like bejewels yeah a lot of bedazzling cause when we first came out we were still wearing fucking, dress casual no I'm talking about how like she had like literal like amethysts on her head. Anyways what i feel like i feel like when she first came out i was like not buying it and i was like not buying surprise are we surprised are we surprised.

I was like what is this shit i was like when i first saw her i was just kind of like because the first song i think i heard was probably like poker face or love game and then I was like saw her look and I was like your your look and your sound are definitely there's disconnect for me I was like I get it you're like artsy but you're so your sound is like so mainstream that like I'm almost seeing you as like an industry plant like in my like jaded

eyes at the time because I was really into like indie music and I like I was the person who told you your band sucked so I was looking at her like sus as fuck but I think I was just jealous because like i could see all of her influences and i was like she's famous like when that first song came out yeah and i'm like i know exactly what like all because like she was also like on my space and so back there you can see i would like read i would think

i was like reading her like my influences my artistic influences wow and i was like reading through it and i was like i like all this shit shut up bitch i was like who are you i'm like you're listing all these references that you're saying that you have been like allegedly influenced by but and i'm not literally not hearing any of this in your music so i felt like i was like what are you talking about oh i see so i was like okay you're just trying to claim all this in my head even

though you're like not repping it she's like i'll get you well she's like bitch i'm just trying to make pop music but i'm like definitely like over analyzing it and like in the harshest way but that's how i felt about her at the time. And then it was like maybe like i don't know when how long Fae Monster came out after that. But that's when I finally got into her. And that was when my deep clubbing phase, my deep wee-ho years. Was that an album or a song? It's an album.

And then that's when I finally got back into the disco stick song. I was like, okay, now I can fuck with. I remember that one. Because I also was watching her music videos. I felt like she was being overtly artistic in a way that was like it almost kind of felt like I feel like I'm such an asshole. I don't want to say what I'm saying. But I just felt like at the time I was like, oh, I feel like you're like like

an asshole kid at an art school. Like, and you're like, showing off that you're like i know but that's what i was that's why i didn't like it and i was like i feel like you're an asshole pompous art school kid that if i met them like you would be a bitch to me and like you would be an asshole and i wouldn't like you and but i mean that's just me making all that story up in my just your trauma that's just yeah it's my trauma because obviously that's not true because after i

watch her interviews i'm like she's obviously not like that yeah not like a bitch she seems very relatable down to earth gaga if you're listening please do not take offense but so it took me like a second to get onto the gaga ride but then my fiance like called me out like a couple weeks ago he's like you're like low-key a little monster and i was like what the fuck because i'm like you kind of are right a lot, dickens because like i never claim anybody like a diva like that like like oh

i stan anybody besides beyonce i'm sorry beyonce besides you but.

Yeah so i was always kind of like eh i didn't want to claim her and i didn't i actually have never really listened to any of her full albums not even chromatica no which i feel like that is going to be the album that i would probably like the most because i think i can't remember song was on that one but i that name do sound familiar i don't know why everybody was saying like that it was like not a good album because i really liked that stupid love song and then

there's a venus song that i really like but i don't think oh and then the babylon song was really good too i feel like a super gay album but like i said your word for it but like i said i haven't even listened to the full album so i haven't listened to her full albums just you know, listened to all her albums in a row. Right? I haven't listened to her full discography. Well, that's a lie. I listened to the entirety of Fame Monster. I know that.

Yeah, she got a lot of... You know what I did when Judas came out? That was... That was another good one. She always spelled somebody's name. What was the other song back in the day? But I feel like her tour gonna be nice as fuck. Like, in regards of, like, putting on a show?

Oh, it's gonna be... pretty awesome yeah i mean i can i mean with all that shit talking i was doing she's definitely like a definite artist like a hundred percent artist i really like that she puts like her whole ass into everything like the snl performances of abracadabra and pillow were really good yeah it's like she slayed me like i said i ain't gonna show out and not show out you know what i'm, okay she was like don't play with mama like I been gone because she been doing that soft shit,

my bad not soft shit but like the like movies and what was that joanne yeah oh like the folk.

Jazz jazz and like classic and she was exploring i love that she explored all that i mean that's i do love it but it's been gone it's time to get but that was for her not for us i mean that's also true she had to find herself she found herself it took a what i think she had a good 10 but now she's getting back to her shit and now she's i don't know understand this like i hear this reheated nachos comment have you heard this no they say that this album feels

like reheated nachos as if this is like the fame monster or some some other bullshit that's like they're saying that she's like sounding like her old ways that she's like giving us the same shit that she gave us in the recession and i'm like i don't think it's i guess it's the times is right if that was the case the time is right in a weird way i mean but who cares like it's clearly shown that she can do a lot of other things so she wants to return

to this particular sound let her return to a particular sound she already showed her versatility she got nothing to prove i mean that's also true i ain't if you think i don't want anything else from gaga besides stupid dance songs. Right, yeah. It's time for us to dance again, motherfucker. That's why I'm like, I don't even need to hear your deep, sad, moving love, whatever. Just tell me disco stick again. Disco stick. I don't do a fuck. I like that. I like that it has that feel to it.

The Fae monster feel to it. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yeah, well, because they thought, Fae monster was probably for her monsters, right? Her little monsters. Yeah. let me see what was a good song any other gaga memories, Alejandro oh yeah she always spelling somebody's god damn name Alejandro that's why I feel like she was analogous to Madonna cause she like went through that whole like we're doing catholic we're doing pseudo spanish right, It's true, though. And she's also Italian like Madonna is.

And Madonna won't pass that goddamn torch. Pass Gaga the torch. Wait, what did I just say? She's like Madonna is? Italian? Yeah. I was like, I have to fact check myself. I was like, what did I say? They're both blonde. They're the same person. Yeah. I remember Madonna was like... What if their timeline got fucked up? And another Madonna guy here was like, now look, there's only gonna be one of us. She's like, well, I'll be Lady Gaga.

I mean, there can only be one. Right. So they're basically the same motherfucker, but in different timelines. No? Okay. Are you gagged by any other Gaga moments? I like that she's trans-friendly. Yeah. But she's also... She's so sweet for the queers. But she's also a Zionist.

What? Mm-hmm. Since when? Let's fact check this let it not be true I've been all over the fucking world and I feel very very blessed I have to say that Israel is the most beautiful place I've ever been to Tel Aviv is magnificent, the world view of Israel is just not reality you are strong you're brave you're confident and I fucking love you Israel when was this? I was canceling Gaga in the Gaga episode throw the whole thing away and at the end she's cancelled.

Okay lady gaga has publicly expressed positive statements about israel in a 2014 interview, following her performance tel aviv she described israel as a beautiful place and remarked that the world view of israel is just not reality it's a beautiful place the people are in good spirits, And then she also said, or also says, there's no public record of Lady Gaga making statements in support of Palestine.

Some fans have noted her silence on the issue, particularly given her advocacy on other social matters. It's important to note that public figures may choose to keep theirs. That's from chat GPT, by the way. So don't take that too seriously. But yeah, no, I found an article and that's what it basically says. So it's accurate. Yeah. Is that she may, she hasn't said anything about Palestine and she's like toured there and things like that. Damn it, Lady Gaga.

I'm going to just say maybe she didn't know anything about the conflicts and maybe she was just like, oh yeah, like that's cool. I like it here because it's pretty. Great place to be and didn't know anything about the political climate. Who knows? She's Just a musician. Are we saving her at the end, please? I think your monster's showing. My little monster's showing. I'm one of her goons. I'm going to dox you at all costs. Well, everybody, on that note, do what you like with these.

Do what's right for you. Keep dancing. Them keep dancing or don't well from all of us here at the clare lbc, you're good enough you're smart enough and talk on it people like you good night we. Music.
