Yeah.
I'm not surprised it's a good cat.

Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Yeah.
And I did make it clear to cat Tony that he will never be number one Tony.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Yeah.
He's like a son to me, but you are like a brother.
Amen.
And everybody knows brother beats son.
Yeah.
Just the numbers.
Hey, sorry, that's your uncle.
Sorry, I can't.
You know he's going to win.
What's up, everybody?

Hope everybody's doing well.
Happy Monday.
Sorry to hear it, folks.
We do have a bit of good news or good wishes to send out.
We have a message from Kelsey to Matthew.
She says, happy birthday to her favorite cranky old man.
Aw, happy birthday, cranky old man.
Happy birthday, Matthew.
According to Kelsey, she said he was a big fan of Minion Death Cult.
Now, that's something she could be lying about just to get in our good graces.
Like, maybe he only kind of likes us, but she's like, well, that could still be a birthday present, I guess.
Yeah, this'll do.
But, you know, for her to take her for her word, you know, maybe we could give Matthew, like, you know, some of the classic NBC catchphrases.
Yeah.
You know, like, Matthew, happy birthday.
Time for you to go to bed.
Time for you to go to bed.
Sorry.
Sorry, bud.
Time for you to go to bed.
I know you wanted, I know you wanted a TKW shout out, but we have TKW at home and it's MDC.
What is, or Matthew, happy birthday.
Have you ever heard of Jeff Dunham?
You ever heard of him?
Have you ever heard of the dead terrorist?
Yeah.
Well, thank you for listening, Matthew.
Happy birthday.
Thank you to Kelsey for writing in.
Also, happy birthday to a friend of the show, previous guest, Shaina.
Her birthday was yesterday.
Happy birthday, Shaina.
Happy birthday, Shaina.
Also, happy birthday to Trump, whose birthday was also yesterday.
Oh, big dog, big dog, Trump.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday to the flag, too.
It was the flag's birthday yesterday as well, from what I was reading.
Happy birthday to the Free Palestine Movement hero, Donald Trump.
Yeah, you know, we may disagree.
We and Trump may disagree on some things, but a birthday is like a sacred time when you need to put your differences aside and come together.
You hear him actually say that, right?
He said the words free Palestine.
He said free Palestine.
Because somebody like tricked him into doing it?
No, he was talking to his MMA fighter and the MMA fighter was like, hey, like free Palestine, right?
And he was like, yeah, free Palestine.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
Of course.
Yes.
He's a people pleaser.
I'm not surprised.
I'm pleasantly surprised, I guess.
Not shocked, but pleasantly surprised.
Wow.
Wow, he's winning all those all those Muslim voters are going to flock to.
Flock to Trump now after leaving the Democratic Party.
I'm just being I'm just joking everybody.
No, but yeah, the only reason I wish happy birthday to Donald Trump, not because I want him to win or anything, but it's just because like it's not.
It shouldn't be political your birthday, you know, like politics out of this.
You know you want your birthday to be honored, right?
Yeah, when it's when it's your turn, it's like mutually assured birthday destruction.
Like we all we all play nice and everybody gets a birthday.
Yeah.
And that's exactly why I don't bring politics into the birthday either.
That's why I eat birthday cake.
Exactly.
You know, it's not no time to worry about who's vegan or what's killing the earth slowly.
Yeah, exactly.
That's that's not the time for.
It's time to celebrate you in your life.
And hey, you know, another trip around the sun.
You wild thing.
You made it.
You made it.
There'll be plenty of time for the firestorm later.
Exactly.
When the Earth finally gets to celebrate its birthday.

Okay, on to the show.
So yeah, this segment I'm calling Barista's Bash Back.
Hell yeah.
Thank you to Ani for sending me this this morning.
Believe it, like the second she woke up, she was like, oh, I think this got her.
This story got her out of bed, actually.
Pulling up here, Cairo News.
So this is again, a nicer local story than we had last week.
South Seattle barista responds to a customer's threats with a hammer.
Yes.
Awesome.
Let me just share it to you, Tony, because I think there's video.
I think we're going to get to see video.
That rules, because I was thinking I like that they have an actual tool, because I was thinking they were just going to go at it with a portafilter.
Explain to the listener what that is, that thing you said.
Oh, I just assumed that all podcast listeners were baristas at one point in their life.
Incorrect.
That's a gross generalization I make and I made and I apologize.
I worked at Pizza Hut in Subway.
Yeah, exactly.
You didn't do, you didn't pull espresso at Subway?
No, this was pre-espresso days at Subway.
The portafilter is what you pack the coffee in and then you put it in the espresso machine.
It has the handle on it.
It's like a spoon.
It looks like a spoon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's the portafilter.
And it is a good weapon.
It is a good weapon if need be.
Sure.
You want something with maybe a little more length on it.
Like, for instance, the hammer.
A hammer.
Yeah, okay, so reading here from Cairo News, normally a hideous, hateful publication, but I like their reporting in this.
South Seattle barista responds to customers' threats with a hammer.
This is by Samantha Lumabao.
A South Seattle barista bashes a man's windshield with a hammer after she says he threatened her and her customers.
Emily is the owner and sole employee of Taste of Heaven Espresso.
Well, that's why we found a good small business owner.
It's because she's the sole employee as well.
That's the way to do it.
Can you see this, Tony?
Yes.
All right, let's play this video.
This is an interview that they did through the window of her espresso shop.
Cause it's like, it's like one of those drive up, I think, yeah, it's one of those drive up little espresso, uh, hell yeah, huts, uh, that they have in the Pacific Northwest.
All right.
Yeah.
Sorry.
The player's weird.
Uh, here we go.
A barista lets her hammer do the talking after a nasty interaction with a customer.
He threw drinks at her.
Of course, you can see how she responded right there.
She spoke exclusively with... Like, on the green screen behind the reporter is, yeah, this barista with face tattoos and a side cut having swung a hammer into the windshield.
Like, reaching out and driving the hammer into the windshield.
It's amazing.
It's sick, like their arm is all flexed and you can like, because honestly, most people, they might take more than one swing of a hammer to break a window.
Maybe they're going for they're going for it.
And you can tell by the facial expression they're going like, oh, it's so good.
This is like this.
It's like we're looking at a fresco painting.
This looks like God reaching out to touch the finger of Adam Hammer reaching out to touch windshield.
Hammer smash windshield.
Favorite.
It's beautiful.
Who's that?
Cannibal Corpse?
R7 Samantha let me about today and Sam.
She says there is a lot we do not see that happened before and after that video.
Elle, that's right.
She said after the man pulled up to her drive-thru, they went about back and forth for about 10 minutes about the price of her coffee, to the point where he even got out of his car, confronted her right here.
She closed the window, he tried to pry it back open, according to her, and that's what made her feel unsafe.
Psycho.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's like a threat on your life.
If somebody's trying to climb in through a window you've shut, or whatever, yeah, you should get to hit them with a hammer.
Yeah, if they're trying to breach the barricade you're protecting yourself with, they get to go.
And she decided to fight back.
I bet, you know what, Tony, I hate to say this, I bet they were playing... I bet that the guy who it was, who was, quote, harassing her, was actually Paul Pelosi.
Oh, he wanted her to smack his winky with the hammer with the hammer.
Yeah, yeah.
OK, that makes sense.
That makes way more sense than whatever they're talking about.
That's definitely what it was.
CR episode, uh, what, Smack the Winky?
Smack the Winky, I believe, yeah.
They were trying to play Smack the Winky, uh, for context about that.
Um, yeah, I mean, I'm sorry, like, Queen.
And she's got, she's got the, like, hand skeleton tattoos on her hands.
Yeah.
She's got, she's got like, she's got like the Fiend Club tattoos on her hands.
Yeah.
The face tattoos are cute.
It's like a butterfly border along her hairline.
At what point are we told that we're supposed to just wait for it to get worse?
Hell yeah.
As the owner and sole employee of Taste of Heaven Espresso, Emily is a firm believer of standing up for yourself.
Disrespect and violence are two different things.
I can handle the disrespect.
The violence is a hard, that's where the line is like crossed.
She says that line was crossed by this customer.
God, look at this fucker.
Look at this fucking guy.
This guy looks so much like a guy whose windshield you want to be smashed.
This guy, he looks like A character Robert Downey Jr.
would have played in a romantic comedy in 1996.
Yeah, and you're supposed to hate him, but then you grow to love him because he goes through this relationship where he learns to be not an asshole.
He's like a poet friend of What's the lead character?
And so I married an axe murderer.
He's got he's got a backwards beret on and like wire frame glasses.
It's like a Kangol.
It's like a like a driver's cab.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it's backwards backwards.
Which is just I'm still I hate to be I hate to sound like a old curmudgeon, but I'm just not a fan of really any backwards hat.
I'm just not.
Yeah, Cedric the Entertainer, you're on his shit list, buddy.
Yeah, sorry, bro.
Turn that around, you know?
Be a mature adult about it, alright?
I know you're a comedian.
Some things are serious.
Yeah, so this guy is like, out, maybe, does his window not work?
Like, he's got his door open, and he's standing up in front of the window.
Happy with her prices.
It was demanding $5.
And I was like, that's not really how that works.
And there's not a refund policy.
Yeah.
Amazing.
We don't, sir, we don't have a refund policy.
Yeah.
We don't have a $5 program.
Fuck off.
This is good.
This is wielding small business power for the for good, in my opinion.
Absolutely.
This is how it's done, folks.
This video shows the man outside of his car arguing with Lee.
She told me the customer in the red shirt tried to talk the man down, but it quickly escalated.
But it's when the man said this.
When Lee felt threatened.
She said, nobody's going to miss you.
That's a threat.
That's a direct threat.
I'm now protecting myself for sure.
You're making that clear.
That's when the man tossed his drinks back at Lee, but she closed her window just in time.
It's one thing to yell, it's one thing to get mad, it's one thing to even be outside of your car and try to threaten me, but to actually have the action behind it, it changed things for me where I was like, oh no.
So she handled it.
With the hammer.
I personally think that you thought that you were going to throw drinks on me and ruin my day.
You're going to pay for a new windshield and it's going to ruin your day.
Even with the smashed windshield, Lee says he refused to leave and she had no other option but to call the cops.
The police came, they got him to leave, right?
It's not, it is understood that what happened is he assaulted me and I responded.
Despite what anyone says, Lee believes that female workers like herself shouldn't be afraid to protect themselves.
I posted on social media and I had a few comments that were like, oh, he didn't actually put hands on you.
And I'm like, so is that the level to which a woman is allowed to fight back?
Yeah, like, I don't know, if you're holding a shield between yourself and somebody's beating at the shield trying to get at you, or trying to assault you or harm you, yes, you don't just have the right to defend yourself.
It's common sense at that point.
It's, like, instinctual.
And you can't wait for the first strike, because the first strike might be the strike.
You can't do that.
Once it's been made clear that he's willing to do violence on you, yeah.
Like, yeah, do whatever you got to do.
And the guy, I don't know.
And also the guy behind them just like got back into his car for some reason.
Yeah.
And so I don't know if I don't know if it was a guy, the person, whatever.
They blurred him out.
I don't know.
I don't know why.
But in my head, it's like a in my head, it's like a 65 year old lady in my mind.
I don't know why they're blurred out.
I just made that part of my head.
That's all right.
We you know, we absolve you.
Other customer.
Yeah.
Amazing.
So shout out shout out to her.
Yeah, there was there were some funny comments about this, but I do have to say that.
I did find Emma, who is the barista.
Hell, yeah.
Emma's grandma, Ruth, on Facebook, who says, my granddaughter Emma was on Cairo 7 News tonight.
She dropped the hammer on a crazy customer yesterday.
Just legendary caption.
So good.
And then took a video of the news story with her phone and posted it on her Facebook.
I love that the subtitles say, normal, peaceful life.
Yeah, the captions on the screen that she's recorded.
Yeah, so again, like I always got to shout out a positive grandma, a positive Facebook grandma.
You know, there's so many, you know, I have positive grandmas.
There's so many good grandmas out there.
And so I just, I like to, you know, big ups to Ruth for raising a good granddaughter.
Yeah.
Jesus Christ.
And again, I'm glad you dropped a little poetry on that.
You know, she dropped the hammer on a crazy customer yesterday.
I would have gone with smack the winky, but she smacked the winky on a crazy customer tonight.
So the like comments almost everywhere are supportive of this, even in the Cairo News comment section.
You know, people are like, yeah, that guy was a psycho.
But if you go over to Cairo's NewsRadio Facebook page.
Oh, NewsRadio is a different demographic.
Which is even more, even worse than just the normal local news.
Here's some examples of how they felt.
Cairo NewsRadio listeners.
Stephen said her word and unhinged actions versus a customer.
She's going to lose.
Obviously, this was on the radio, because if it wasn't radio, you would see that there's video of it that we all watched.
I mean, it wasn't, I am looking at a Facebook post of it, you know, so, but I just love, like, how braindead, like, the American right is to some, you know, all Americans, sure, to some degree, but like, it's, listen, it's her word against a customer.
Do you think the law favors a customer?
They do.
They do, though.
The law favors the business owner, which is her, bro.
I'm sorry that backfired on you guys this one time.
And this is great, too, because they can't even blame it on a delinquent employee.
You know, because she's the employee and owner, so you can't even like dump it off on that.
So, yeah, of course, I'm going to say like, yeah, and they have this mentality and they operate in that way where the customer is always right.
And they're the ones being assholes in every store you see.
The tide is turning.
People are realizing more and more every day that the customer is almost always wrong.
Almost always wrong.
And that's led us to this moment where people are cheering on a woke barista, a barista with face tattoos, smashing a dude's windshield with a hammer.
It rules so hard.
Rightfully so.
There's been a lot of like, a lot leading up to this moment, you know?
Yeah, Heather right under here says, I'm all for defending myself, but words do not equal violence slash damage of property.
And yeah, it was what he said, but it was also what he did, too.
Exactly.
He was being physically threatening to her, trying to harass her.
So no, your argument's thrown out, Heather.
Tony says, This American society is unable to carry conversations, have a debate, or disagreements, or simply to brush off... Everything has to be vindicated, and with violence and aggression, sadly.
And the media, parentheses, movies, games, news.
End quote.
Role models, parenthesis, e.g.
celebrities on social media or on big screens, comma, et cetera, end parenthesis, end parenthesis, sensationalize this type of behavior.
You listen to fucking news radio.
You listen to like right wing talk radio, man.
I don't know what you think your role is in this, but it's a pretty big one.
This is what's wrong with this country.
You know, first we get a woke Ghostbusters and now we have people acting like Tony.
You know, you can't tell me one didn't cause the other.
This is the this is the you know, the feminization of the Western of the Western man right here.
You should have simply debated with that guy that he should not harass you, right?
Hey, we need to have what they should have done.
It has asked that other customer to be a moderator.
Um, maybe, you know, I don't know.
Like, I hate to play devil's advocate here, but it did seem like you were getting pretty irrational and emotional.
And like, how was he supposed to even know what you wanted?
Like, how was he supposed to even help you get what you wanted if you couldn't effectively?
I personally think a hammer is a great communication tool.
Yeah.
I think it sends a message loud and clear.
It's the universal language.
Universal language.
Everyone understands it.
No matter what country you go to.
We should have just sent a hammer into space instead of fucking around with the gold-plated record and all that shit.
Absolutely, absolutely.
The hammer is like the earworm from Hitchhiker's Guide.
Like, everyone knows what you're saying when you swing a hammer.
There's no questions.
Yeah.
Another response I thought was great was Rob Nelson, who says, How soon before people start protesting this hate crime against windshields?
Is that really Rob?
Is that actually Rob, you think?
Okay, so yeah, if you want to address that part now, there's Rob, what appears to be Rob.
Rob kind of rules, actually.
I think Rob might be tight.
Rob is the most front-facing, iodized sunglasses, goatee guy I've ever seen a small thumbnail of.
Rob's head is shaped like a minion.
Rob's head, Rob's head, like goes from the top of his head down, like his neck is just kind of a continuation of his chin.
It's not a double chin.
It's just a large chin.
And it's the shape of a minion.
And he's holding like an ace of spades.
He's holding up an ace of spades to the camera.
He's probably doing like magic.
I mean, this comment's magic.
Imagine a minion with a goatee wearing the sunglasses from the beginning of Mission Impossible 2.
Yep.
And looking so cool.
I love this because he's not even he's not even mad about this, really.
He just wants to equate like what people are protesting to the interior things and, you know, minimize that.
He's still mad about that.
He's still mad about 2020.
The thing is, so it's like, yeah, how soon before people start protesting this hate crime against windshields?
Like you could make this joke, but it would be how long before right, the right wing says this is a hate crime against windshields.
And he just, he just did it, but he already did it.
So like you can't even, you can't even make the joke.
But it's like, yes, obviously, like you can get what tried for a hate crime for getting bit by a canine unit.
You know, like, yeah, it's that's not I don't I don't know.
That's also we're not going down a slippery slope in that direction.
You know, we're going down a slippery slope if there is such a thing in the exact opposite direction, the exact opposite direction.
It's funny, too, because, yeah, if she would have yelled a slur when she did it, that would have been a hate crime.
The dude did seem like some sort of non-white.
But she didn't.
Yeah, but if she had said, you know, I mean, we don't have audio from it or we don't have her audio from it and probably got cut out or something.
But yeah, what if she what if she had called him a pig?
Yeah.
What if she had called him a lunk or one of the many other anti male slurs that are out there?
Would it still be a hate crime, Tony?
Thank you.
Thank you for acknowledging people have been calling me a lunk so often.
And it's a hurtful word.
And I think we need to start calling it the L word.
I don't think we should be saying the L word on the you know because it hurt it hurts me.
It hurts me.
Yeah Yeah, that's sure So When I was looking for for reporting on this breeze on this bath on the Bashin barista That's it.
That's maybe what we should call her the the Bashin barista and Facebook tricked me into using their AI.
Ugh, those sons of guns.
Because like, if you use the top search function is now just AI, but you press return.
I think this is how it works.
I'm too scared to run an actual experiment to test my theory, but this is what it felt like.
If you push your enter, your like your return on your keypad, then it does the normal search.
But if you hit the little blue arrow that's in the search field, like where it would normally say like go, or if you hit like X to clear the search.
I hit that instead.
Foolish.
Just, I wasn't thinking.
Yeah.
Sorry.
And then their AI started DMing me.
Awesome.
Because I guess, I think that's what the symbol I hit was.
It was like, oh, you're actually sending this in a DM to AI, to Meta, instead of searching for it in the search function that you're currently at.
Hey, Alex, I'm sorry because you engage this.
I need to send I'm going to send you a capture right now.
OK, I need you to prove that you're actually you.
And then I'm not talking to Metta right now.
No, I'm actually a movie that was directed by one of Hollywood's up and coming young filmmakers of color and generative AI.
No, it's special.
They came up with a guy in a basement doing a podcast.
Did you see that?
Did you see that, uh, that clip that the, or like, was it even a clip?
I think it was like a still she shared.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bad.
Bad stuff.
It was like four AI generated black women as the leads of her movie.
If I'm to be understanding what happened correctly, like it's it's using a program called Sora that I think just generates image, just generates film, like or whatever, animated images.
Yeah, I think so.
It's funny because now if they're funny and they are doing this on purpose, I love it.
But I don't think they are.
I think they're genuinely like doing it.
It would be a crazy stunt.
It would be effective.
And it's funny because, yeah, she has like anti-AI stuff in her tweet history.
But it's just amazing, like I'm thinking of like, cause I think I was, she's also was like her first film is in the Criterion Collection.
Like she's like a big, kind of a big deal for how new she is at directing.
Um, and it's just funny.
Like, were they like, well with AI, AI is also an underdog right now.
It is just like everyone's punching down on AI lately.
It's not cool.
Just like a woman of color.
Honestly, AI is the woman of color of the digital world.
If you ask me, if you ask me, that's just my opinion.
I, you know, Tony, I don't know, Tony.
I'm just happy you're standing up for Meta.
Thanks.
You know, someone needs to.
So I accidentally searched for, I tried to search for Cairo, which is the news station, and then Hammer, which is in the headline.
Dang, that's the name of my new superhero.
Cairo Hammer?
Cairo Hammer.
Meta AI liked it as well.
In fact, what they DM'd me when I realized I DM'd them, it's because they DM'd me right back saying, the Cairo Hammer is a versatile tool designed for various tasks.
It's a combination of a hammer, pliers, and a knife, making it a handy multi-tool for...
And I didn't open the message because I think that's how you get cursed.
I think if you open it like they know they know you're there and they won't stop fucking with you.
What if you don't know what if it's going on to say like a handy multi-tool for committing hate crimes against windshields?
Wow.
Also, does that mean like, is this like a brand?
Is Kyro Hammer a brand or is it really a type?
It might not really make it up.
It might not even be real.
I didn't like check.
It might just be might be made up like the way Google was.
Google's A.I.
was just making shit up.
It's everywhere.
Anyway, I just thought that that was that was interesting.
Yeah, shout out to the Bashin Barista.
All right.
Shout out to you.
We appreciate you.
Thanks for holding it down.
Yeah.
I did look up Kyro Hammer and there's like nothing.
I think they probably made it up.
I actually found like a Thor's Hammer with skate trucks attached to it instead.
That sucks.
Okay, let's move on.
Okay, let's move let's move on.
Okay, let's move on.
You suck this world back years You've halted a march of progress You did some sloppy sense Now all the circles can be trusted You suck this world back years You've halted a march of progress Glad you're choosing to win

Okay.
Also, I tried to type Miphaprisandry into my notes and it autocorrected back to Miphapristone.
Very interesting.
Hmm.
Interesting.
Autocorrect wants women to know about the abortion drug, Tony.
How do you feel about that?
They're doing something right, finally.
That's cool.
Yeah, I approve.
I always like looking at autocorrect through a political lens.
Like there was a while before autocorrect actually started autocorrecting Trump to be capital T. Trump.
The good old days.
I know that was just such a huge loss for a lot of the Democrats.
That's really when it went downhill.
I remember the day it went downhill that day.
There was a ripple in the force that day.
Um, yeah, so like, uh, I think generally good news.
I think we can say this is generally good news that the Supreme Court didn't remove access to, uh, one of the abortion drugs used in the two-step medical abortion process.
One of the common drugs, um, Mifepristone, uh, The bad news is this is a very narrow ruling.
The court basically ruled that the people who brought the case to them didn't have standing.
They didn't actually have any harm they could personally prove by the drug being on the market.
They were just right-wing doctors and cranks who had ethical Objections to anybody else using the drug.
But I did see.
So so theoretically, somebody else, you know, a different sort of concerned, quote, concerned party could sue and say that it's, you know, dangerous or that it's whatever, beyond the scope of reproductive rights.
Theoretically, the ruling also and a shout out to I guess this I read this on Salon.
No, Slate.
Sorry, I read this on Slate.
The ruling also, like, re-established physicians' right to ethically opt out of performing abortions or other practices that, you know, their religion made them disagree with or whatever.
Yeah, which, it's like, you know, if somebody Somebody's dying of a miscarriage and an abortion needs to be performed or somebody's health is jeopardized by a pregnancy in general.
You know, the Supreme Court basically said, like, it's within the doctor's right to let you let you die.
You know, I don't I don't know enough about case law to, I guess, come comment authoritatively one way or the other.
It's that still seems like an immoral thing to do, whether or not it's legal.
It seems like a pretty scummy thing you would do to say it doesn't.
I mean, it goes against their oath, right?
Yeah, but the oath isn't like governmentally binding.
You know, I'm not trying to whatever defend anti-abortion doctors.
I just I just think it's pretty you're they're obviously wrong, no matter what the Supreme Court says.
I have an episode of Grey's Anatomy that said to them, OK, where the woman saves the Nazis life.
And that's that's what they need.
Listen, sometimes you got to save a Nazi.
Sometimes you got to commit an abortion.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I could send him an episode of House where House saves a woman's life.
Despite hating.
Despite her being a total bitch the whole time.
Yeah, let me just read here a little bit from ABC News.
Yeah, well, experts and advocacy groups applauded the U.S.
Supreme Court's decision on Thursday to not restrict nationwide access to the abortion pill Mifepristone.
They warn access to medication abortion remains at risk, as does the very foundation of the FDA's regulation of all medications.
The court unanimously struck down a lawsuit seeking to restrict nationwide access to Mifepristone.
Mifepristone.
It's Mifepristone.
It's like one of the more Australian looking words.
Yeah, it has an Australian affectation for sure.
Mifepristone.
Mifepristone.
One of the two pills used in an abortion medication regimen The court ruled that a group of doctors have no grounds to bring the lawsuit that sought to roll back the FDA's approval of mifepristone.
While it is only recommended for up to 11 weeks of pregnancy, the abortion pill regimen is the least expensive form of abortion care and has become the most common form of abortion care in the U.S.
Medication abortion accounted for 63% of U.S.
abortions in 2023, according to a study from the Gutermacher Institute in March, and its use is growing.
Medication abortions accounted for just 53% of all abortions in 2020 in the U.S., according to Gutermacher, a research and policy group that advocates for reproductive health.
This is important.
Women in states where abortion care has ceased or is restricted can still access the pills by mail under Thursday's ruling.
The biggest impact from the Supreme Court's decision.
Yeah, Plan C Pills dot org.
Awesome.
Yeah.
It's a way to order.
They'll order them for you or tell you how to order them or you can order them through them.
We'll put them in the episode's description.
Plan C Pills dot org.
But yeah, you know, you don't really expect the Supreme Court to do a lot of good stuff, and we'll get into some of the potential reasoning, I guess, right now.
Because some of these replies, like, I'm going to cut ahead to, yeah, Barb.
Who says this ruling actually opens the path and almost certain Trump will win because it just took away the ability for Dems to scream about this as big talking point in debates and campaign.
This ruling more benefits Trump.
Then like a sly smile emoji.
I mean, that's that might be a correct way of looking at it.
You know, maybe these Highly politicized judges didn't want to tip their hand too early, like they did with the leak when they overturned Roe.
They know what a backlash looks like.
Also, I like that it's like the inverse of when the Dems were excited about Biden's immigration policy, because they're like, listen, I know this is the exact opposite of what we say we want, but it's a it's not going to help Trump.
And they're like, listen, I know that I hate abortion and everything, but this is going to help Trump.
Yeah, but then at the same time, you know, you have a lot of conservatives arguing that Liberals are trying to blame Trump for this when in reality it's proof that the Supreme Court is impartial and unbiased.
And it's like, oh, well, you like the Supreme Court when it does good things, but you don't like it when it does bad things.
We get one win and it's like...
Oh, now shut your mouth about it.
See, you get stuff, too.
Yeah.
And, you know, like we said, it's not really a win.
It's just a continuation of the status quo, which isn't isn't great, but it is not great.
It's not the L that the Supreme Court could have dropped on us and have before.
But yeah, let's just general responses to this are amazing.
Spencer Rowe, interesting last name there, buddy, says on the CNN comments, the Facebook page in the comments, Democrats wanting to take horse pills after giving Republicans a hard time about ivermectin.
You can't make this up.
Oh, my God.
We're not talking about ketamine, bro.
Except, of course, somebody did make this up.
I had to I had to look up to see what the fuck they were talking about.
Um, one of the the mysopristol, whatever the other drug in this abortion combination of drugs is, um, is also used like under the under the table as a treatment for horses ulcers.
Because the medication originally was developed to treat ulcers on humans.
And then the abortifacient aspect of it was a side effect.
Was it was like, oh, wow.
OK, this helps with abortion.
This helps perform abortions.
So people are like using human ulceritis stuff on horses and Spencer's like, you guys are such hypocrites for using the stuff that other people use on horses for its intended purpose.
Are you kidding me?
Same thing.
It's you guys.
Yeah.
You guys are hypocrites.
You just want to be, you're taking horse pills.
We're not weird for doing ivermectin.
Yeah.
Okay.
But again, also, like I said, we've never been against horse drugs, you know?
Ketamine's very popular right now.
Yeah, it's just like, yeah, one, does it actually do what you say it does?
No.
Two, is taking it, like, gonna kill somebody with lupus?
That's the other factor that I use to determine whether or not I'm gonna try and stock up on a drug.
That's good math.
Mike English says about preserving mail order abortion.
Mike English says maybe we could work on universal health care instead.
I mean, sure.
Yeah.
But I feel like you're not going to cover abortion in your universal health care.
You're kind of like giving away the game.
Yeah.
If you're not including abortion in universal health care, nobody thinks you actually want universal health care.
Exactly.
Yeah.
We already know you're on the other team now at this point.
And you want the one that they're trying to scare people with.
The one that's like, you're not going to get good health care.
You're not going to get what you want.
There's more people who are for abortion and against universal health care than there are for universal health care, but against abortion.
Yes, absolutely.
Joan Rubin Deutsch says this decision may have more to do with Big Pharma.
They make a... You ever hear about this?
Do you know about Big Pharma, Tony?
I've heard about this Big Pharma.
They make a lot of money from Miffa-Pristone, and I am sure they lobbied the judges.
They lobbied the judges.
The judges aren't the ones who made it legal in the first place or whatever.
I mean, you could say they lobbied the FDA or something like that.
Yeah, exactly.
And it's like, oh, what?
There's big pharma that's lobbying?
Get out of here.
No way.
I don't think we should have any medicines because what if a company makes profit on it?
I think you're actually a hypocrite if you're a leftist and you're in favor of medicine.
When do you know how much profits there are in health care every single year?
Yeah.
You want to contribute to that?
It's really funny that you're posting this while on insulin.
You know who you think you are on your iPhone on insulin?
Hypocrites everywhere.
I bet if we all boycotted the drug industry, they would have they would have to become good.
Yeah.
Because everybody would be dead and there would be no one to buy the drugs afterwards anyways.
Put your money where your mouth is.
You're always complaining about this industrial complex of horrors that is modern American medicine.
Well, then give back your cancer meds.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, you have heart disease?
Bootstraps.
Bootstraps.
Okay, so this is all in the View comment section, by the way, because the View talked about it.
They seem to be pretty good on it, but I didn't watch all of it.
But yeah, Kathy says, interesting, the only, interesting, the, the only woman on The View who is young enough to care about birth control is Alyssa.
She's pro-life.
The rest are Sonny, 55, Joy, 81, The Whoopster, 69.
Nice.
Nice.
Anna, 52, and Sarah, 46, who are for abortion.
Wow.
Their ovaries have been dried up for many years.
Incredible.
Incredible.
Also, I love that.
Like, oh, it's funny.
Now that isn't, now that doesn't serve you.
You know, now that you're out of now that you're in the clear, you want to.
Of course you do.
OK.
I don't know what age she wants to cut it off at.
Like, I don't I don't know how old Alyssa is, who's pro-life.
I guess she's she's younger.
Let's say 35.
Right.
Let's say she's 30 or something.
Yeah, OK, sure.
Then all reproductive health care legislation gets to be decided by 30 year old women.
Let's do let's do that, Kathy.
Yeah, I'm good with that.
It's going to work out.
I think it's going to work out.
Super, super funny to be like, well, the only one young enough to have a kid wants to have a kid, so abortion should be illegal.
Yeah.
You know, I mean, logically, means tested voting, but it's fertility.
She doesn't have to get an abortion, Kathy.
Nobody's going to make her get an abortion unless Biden wins a second term.
I think only pregnant women should be able to have a say on this.
Well, now you might be getting somewhere for Kathy.
Yeah, like currently.
Yeah.
Eight month pregnant women.
I think only women who've already had two children are looking for six.
I think they're the ones who should be able to vote on this.
I think women who are keep having girls, but their son really wants their husband really wants a son.
I think they're the ones who should be able to to have a say in this.
Yeah, but it's again a private ballot.
Yeah, yeah.
Sharon, Jeremy Cotham says.
on the view.
She's talking to the view right now.
Talk about how Alyssa shares a birthday with Donald Trump.
Dot, dot, dot.
I bet that is a conversation.
Dot, dot, dot.
Happy birthday, Donald Trump on Friday, June 14th with Alyssa.
Dot, dot, dot.
I'm sure she would love to have a party with him.
Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.
Donald Trump is so cool that I think that Alyssa... It's Alyssa Milano, right?
No, it's... Is she on The View?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Alyssa... Alyssa, no.
Because Alyssa is the pro-life one.
Is Alyssa Milano pro-life?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I feel like you just can't, like, first name an Alyssa.
I think that's the only Alyssa that I know of.
Alyssa Milano, isn't she like a huge Hillary Clinton lady?
Like, I don't think... I thought so.
She's pro-life.
I don't know.
That's the only list I know, though.
But anyways, if she's pro-life, it's only so that the babies can get big enough to yield to rich, rich, rich and tasty adrenochrome in their brains.
I like how this this Alissa has to want to party with Donald Trump.
I mean, they have the same birthday.
Of course, she wants to party with him.
He's so cool.
She'd be so lucky.
Imagine that conversation to be a fly on the wall when Trump is talking to Alissa about the just two bitches going at it.
Yeah, I don't think you guys want you.
Don't don't forget.
You don't want to record private conversations with Donald Trump and women.
You don't want that to happen.
You don't want people to know what that conversation is like.
Yeah, I mean, because he's just such a beast of a man, you know?
There's no keeping him away from these ladies.
Yeah.
Uh, oh yeah, James West says, of course Joy thinks abortion is good news.
She can celebrate the demon Ball once again.
Uh, that's Ball, like the blood god Ball, B-A-L-L, and he's included a YouTube link.
You can't see where, what it is, there's no like preview of it, but I clicked on it and I'm so glad I did.
It's the scene from, oh man, now I'm, Oh, it's the scene from Nefarious where the devil in the form of the death row inmate is cheering on the real-time abortion that his public defender lawyer is making his girlfriend get in an abortion clinic, you know, in that city.
He counts down to one and then the devil comes at the abortion.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Remember that?
That's really what he linked to?
Yeah.
That's amazing.
The video had 77,000 views.
I was like, man, I'm glad more people are hearing about Nefarious.
That's awesome.
Again, check out our episode on Nefarious, written by a Christian podcaster who likes to cry even more than Glenn Beck.
I love it.
She has nothing to do with this.
And he's like, once again, like in this scene, when she did it in this movie, she has nothing to do with it.
She's not in the movie at all, but it's just like this scene and this movie that also no one has really seen except for freaks like us.
It's just so it's so gnarly, like who could even like.
I don't know.
Trying to think of like a movie that even punks or goths would make about themselves.
Would they even have a scene where like a goth girl like masturbates to an abortion happening?
Right?
You know, like this is like insane shit that I don't, I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure that has happened in like edgy media or whatever, but just, you know, like the, the mainstream fantasies that the right wing has about abortion, like pale, you know, or like make every other, I don't know.
Like, genre exercise pale in comparison, I think.
Yeah, they really take it.
There's some real freaks about it.
It's real creepy.
Julia Pollard says, Well, how many men will use that pill for their victims?
How many child molesters, rapists, controlling, abusive men will have the wife, girlfriend take it?
How many children, teens that are being sexually assaulted by a father, family members are kidnapped, sex trafficking, etc.
are having to take this pill so the man doesn't get caught?
But it's like you, you don't want them to have that option anyways.
You want them to have to bear that.
That's kind of the whole, that's kind of the whole point.
These are the, these are the examples that, you know, that we use to try to make an argument.
It's like, no, these are exactly people who need access to this.
Right.
It's like, okay, wow, there's evidence, you know, of a rape.
Does that mean that the legal system is going to take it seriously?
Does that mean that the legal system is going to grant your rapist visitation rights to your kid?
It's very clear what the sensible option to do is if you don't want to have, you don't want to go through with a pregnancy.
Like, it's absurd to be like, I mean, the only reason it's absurd is because we do have these widely available drugs and, you know, medical procedures that you can't have done.
Thankfully, most people in this situation can be like, well, that's an easy decision.
I'll go to plantcpills.org and take the fucking pills.
Are you kidding me?
It's only once you restrict the rights of people to access that stuff.
That you could ever like you could ever get your way, you have to like legally bar that because it's just an insane argument.
You have to like actually restrict people from, you know, get it having access to this.
Yeah, I like how they're acting like, you know, these these these people, these awful violent men are like are like Following up.
You know, I was like, what are you talking about?
Fuck off.
Yeah, it's pretty insane to be like, you should let a human being grow inside you for nine months so you have evidence.
This is I'm just playing the long con.
You think you think I'm actually a willing mother?
No, I got I got wheels, faints within faints going on here.
Uh.
Yeah, some of these responses were so wild.
Patrick McCoy says to The View, so The View wants women dead.
Got it.
What?
Don't know what that means, but it's an incredibly safe drug.
In fact, the alternative to not having abortion does result in dead women.
Exactly.
Yeah.
It's like you're totally missing the whole thing here, bud.
And then, yeah, Terry Austin says these dudes, comma, sure, love, comma, killing babies.
Five exclamation points, a palm face emoji and then a monkey emoji.
What is that?
Oh, is that is that is that racism?
Probably.
Oh, that sucks.
I think.
I think they're doing racism.
Well, let's wash the racism taste out of your mouth with this.
This next meme that I found in the comments section of The View.
Which is an edited poster of Sister Act with Whoopi Goldberg, but instead it says Fister Act.
And Whoopi is, I guess instead of holding a Bible or something like she was on the cover, she's holding a giant fist dildo and a fisting lube.
Yes, it's great.
Also, fisting doesn't result in pregnancy.
I think this might have been a non sequitur.
Yeah, it was just for just to get whoopee in there.
Yeah.
What is like?
What is this meant to be?
Just like, here's, like, here's Whoopi Goldberg.
She's got to do stuff to herself.
Is it because Whoopi's gay?
Maybe?
Isn't it?
Because that's what, you know, that's, that's, that's the reason why women are lesbians is because they, they like to get fisted.
Cause women have fists.
Men just can't keep up anymore.
And so that's why that's the only, that's the only reason why women like women is because of the size of their hands.
Interesting.
Scientific study showed me that.
Okay, let's move on.
Just wild stuff.
This is like half of Republican memes are just like photoshopping revenge porn of somebody.
What's the little watermark on the bottom?
It says it's like the French meme maker or I don't know.
It's it's a little different kind of frog.
It's not the Pepe frog.
This looks like a logo for like an EDM band or something.
It's a frog with like sunglasses on and it's kind of neon colored and it says pas le meme.
So I don't know what pas means, but I think meme probably means the same thing in French.
So something of the meme and then it's there's another credit underneath that says Autist Redding since 2020 since 2020 so I mean they're pretty new to the game actually and they're doing great I think they're really showing promise.
i think yeah there this is a self-described meme autist i think so just like uh one of the lamest people in the world so good so stupid
so so
so uh
i also i did just remember nick mullen had that fake op-ed where he pretended to be a woman who got sexually turned on by having abortions, not Not quite what I was talking about, but I'm just trying to avoid some DMs that people send me.
I remember it.
All right.
Moving on, did you see this go viral, this photograph of somebody's TV on Fox News?
No, no, but I like it.
Yeah, this went mega viral just in its reporting and then also just as like a screenshot shared around the internet.
It's perfect for sites like X and Facebook.
As you'll see me reading it right here.
So this is like a list like statistics according to Fox News.
During job interviews, employers say recent college graduates have struggle with eye contact.
So it's just wrong tense already. 53% Asked for unreasonable compensation, 50%.
Dressed inappropriately, 47%.
Used inappropriate language, 27%.
Refused to turn on camera during a virtual interview.
Those are my favorite.
Yeah.
I love those people.
Yeah.
- 21%, and then here's the big one, brought a parent to their interview.
This is why this one in particular, this is the usual young people bad, employers good, employees stupid as fuck, but this is the particular wrinkle.
Now they're saying that Gen Z is bringing mommy and daddy into the interview.
Wow.
They're even more baby than millennials.
Listen, I'm a millennial and I usually hate other millennials.
Gen Z, even worse than millennials.
Right, everybody?
Right, Gen X and boomers?
Don't you agree?
Don't you agree?
I like how this does still fall on the potential employee and not on the enabling parent.
Mm-hmm you know I mean we go there.
You know don't worry.
They address the parents, too but So let me just read this back.
I may have read it too quickly for some people to actually realize what's happening here.
During job interviews, employers say... Yes.
Ding, ding, ding.
Employers say... During job interviews, professional liars say recent college graduates have struggle with eye contact.
53% so that's 53% of the employers who are responding to this said that a college graduate at one of their interviews at one time has struggled with eye contact.
53%.
Yeah.
So that's right.
Not a scientific poll.
This is a survey conducted by Intelligent.com, which is like, I guess, from what I can tell, it's like LinkedIn, but they want you to pay for it.
It's like You you just give them money and they'll tell you how to get a job or they'll tell you how to extract more profit from your employees.
Yeah, they sent out a survey for their fucking dipshit subscribers.
Yeah.
And of course, they all said Gen Z bad.
Wow.
I'm shocked.
Shocker.
Yeah.
Who the thunk?
Who the thunk?
Like you said, it's also it's it's the employer.
And is that for like is for every interview?
I don't think it's for like Are they saying they hired people like this or they just had an interview where this happened?
Like you said, this just had to happen one time for them to click on it.
Yeah, that's all.
I wonder if brought a parent to the interview meant like they got a ride.
This is how it's being reported by like Yahoo, for instance.
Yahoo Finance.
This is the headline.
One in five of recent college graduates brought a parent to their job interview, comma.
Why?
This is my crazy extrapolation of that data.
This is by Adrian Volanek.
And I love that the image they've included is of like a nice, happy graduate.
You know, it's a young woman like hugging, looks like maybe an older female relative, like is happy and supportive that she got her diploma.
Sorry, now you're a joke for Yahoo Finance bros with zero media literacy and just the biggest sense of entitlement, undeserved entitlement and success in the world.
It's so it's so great.
Yeah, it's like implying like this college graduate brought this person to the interview.
This is their emotional support parent.
So again, one, this is the reporting.
This is a headline from Yahoo, who's been who's been doing news since like the Internet existed.
One in five of recent college graduates brought a parent.
This is such an insane statistic.
Not only that, you're presenting this statistic as fact.
And then you're like, why?
And then also the article doesn't even attempt to answer why.
Because it's funny, if that was a thing, there there probably are answers to this.
You know, there probably is a story to write if this was a thing, but they didn't even try to do that.
The 1 in 5 statistic, again, just refers to the 19% of survey respondents who said, yes, Gen Z do need their mommy and daddy.
I saw them.
I saw the mommy and the daddy in the room with Gen Z at the same time, and they were making a job application.
I've seen it.
But it's just so it's so funny that this is like that.
I mean, we all know about how bad the news is, but it's just like just such a and this is like it's not it's probably not intentionally malicious.
It's just the bog standard, like maliciousness American media has towards employees and towards younger people.
Like this isn't this is probably not even intentional this like Deliberate lie not deliberate, but this lie in the headline this totally incorrect thing that because of confirmation bias because of how you already feel about young people This is exactly how you read it and just and just printed it mm-hmm pretty crazy questions asked however This is the response oh Wait hold on sorry noise
Yeah, this is the response, and I think... I don't remember where this was, but Steve says, the bringing... I think this is Yahoo Finance.
The bringing a parent to the interview percent shocked me.
Their participation trophy and electronic babysitter generation.
Then, yeah, Vincent says, the fruits of the disastrous U.S.
education system.
The country is in rapid decline.
No, the fruits of the disastrous U.S.
education system are real and they're represented in the fact that you didn't read the article.
You don't know how numbers or percentages or language even works, if this is what you came to after a thorough reading of the material.
Yeah, the failure of the education system started a long time ago when it shows by the, you know, middle aged people who are just flailing around the Internet trying to figure out what's going on without actually reading anything.
So I saw this this screenshot of or not the screen, the photograph of the Fox News TV going around in a few different places.
But one of the places I saw it Was in the Conservative Goths Facebook group.
Hell yeah.
One of our favorite places.
Samantha says, I'm Gen Z and I strongly feel this is not true.
This is too incredulous.
So she she doesn't even like understand what the statistics are saying, but she understands that what people are concluding from these statistics is not true.
She doesn't like she hasn't looked at it closely enough to figure out why this these numbers say what they say, but she just she just knows like what this is nonsense.
This is insane.
This is like, you know, your teens are having rainbow parties in your neighbor's basement.
Lanouette Beaumont says, I'm an older Gen Z as well.
It's the youngest parts of our generation that's doing this.
I wouldn't believe it either if I hadn't slightly overlapped with them in college.
So, no, Samantha, I know your inclination.
You're Gen Z.
So you want to, like, stand with Gen Z and you want to defend them?
And not just defend them, but, like, you have experience with Gen Z and you haven't seen this.
Well, if you come over to this more exclusive, older, more mature, more reasonable side of Gen Z, we can still, like, throw all our ire and rancor at those other people, and it feels really good.
I do love that, because that's a common thing.
You know, it's like elder millennials look down other millennials.
You know, this is an elder, an elder Z. Yeah.
Like they just don't have the it's true.
They really they really fell off.
They really fell off at my brief overlap in college with the people who were a year and a half, two years younger than me.
They're not like me at all.
We have nothing in common.
Oh, yeah.
Being an elder millennial or an elder Gen Z is like being Italian and getting granted whiteness.
Yeah, exactly.
You got the nod.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You better believe I'll fucking anybody born a day after me.
Forget it.
Scum.
Yeah, the worst.
Sorry, Ani.
You're done.
You're toast.
Incompetent.
It's not it's not it's not your fault.
It's just when you were born.
It's just how I can't have this sort of performance in this organization.
You had that much more exposure to Lady Gaga as a youth to where you're going to you're going to turn out that way.
Yeah.
Sorry, you grew up with the high school edition of Doug.
We can't be friends.
Yeah, no, thank you.
You don't understand what we really went through.
Marla Joyce says, my sister-in-law says she is going to.
OK, so this is great.
I loved this response so much.
Marla says, my sister-in-law says she is going to start sitting in on my college graduate gay autistic niece because she suspects my niece is sabotaging the interview because she really doesn't want to work.
I have seen the younger generation purposely screw up at work in order to get fired.
First of all, hell yeah.
It's a great way to get fired.
You know, absolutely.
Second of all, I love this because we have here somebody defending the parents.
The parents aren't the stupid Gen Z generation.
The parents are from like Gen X or something.
You know, the cool guys.
People with, they still got a head on their shoulders before the world went to shit.
When rock and roll was fucking rock and roll.
And they probably have to go to the job interview to freaking make sure the kids don't pull like a Ferris Bueller, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Did you?
It's funny.
Do you think that you think that their their niece really is like gay and autistic?
Do you think maybe they really are like autistic to the point where like they might need?
Yeah.
Hey, listen, I'm going to come sit on this interview.
And so I you know, I'm advocating for my for my kid.
Yeah.
You know, like if that is an option, then it's like, that's, that sounds like it's a good thing that's happening here, but I don't think that's what they're saying.
Sounds like they do.
Yeah.
They do possibly need parental support.
I don't know.
Like it's, it feels like, yeah, gay and autistic is being used as insults here when it's just, well, that sounds reasonable.
I don't know.
Like, I mean, you know, probably trying to tie like homosexuality or queerness to what they would also consider to be a disability, you know, autism.
Because you do see a lot of anti-trans propaganda is like, oh, they're just trying to trans anybody with autism.
And actually, they're not trans.
They're just autistic or whatever.
Yeah, I don't you don't need a diagnosis.
I know you're autistic because of your purple hair.
Yeah, exactly.
Kristen replies, uh, this is becoming a common thing.
My former coworker was a Gen Z, was a Gen Z. My former, this is like sounds racist.
How do you make that sound racist?
My former coworker was a Gen Z and she started asking what she would need to do to get fired so she could collect unemployment.
They also love to come up with disabilities that may play out, that may pay out.
Yeah, I hate it when people invent new disabilities to get paid out.
Sounds like they're hustling.
Sounds like they're rising and grinding.
What are you doing?
You're just sitting there content in your little thing?
Totally.
They want more.
Sorry they're striving.
If you discover a new disability, then yeah, sure, you should get paid out, I think.
Yeah, absolutely.
That's a valuable discovery.
Yeah.
