I took a screenshot of this, this Twitter post I'm about to talk about.
They're using, like, some ad that the LA Fire Department did in conjunction with, guess what, 911, the television show, where there is, like, a big lesbian, a big black lesbian.
Is she a cop or is she a firefighter, Tony?
I think she's a firefighter.
Yeah, and so they were like cutting back and forth between this, you know, this real life, you know, I don't know what her sexuality is, you know, but like big butch woman or, you know, at least she's got short hair.
I didn't watch the actual video.
But, you know, making an implication that she's, you know, similar to the character or whatever.
And Clint Russell says, let me ask my female audience, if you're trapped in a burning building, would you feel better seeing this overweight lesbian slowly jogging in your direction, or do you want some Navy Seal-looking dude?
And that is true.
I mean, I might be burning to death, but I'm not dead yet.
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I mean?
I still got those urges, just like everybody else.
I'd rather see the fucking uncut Navy SEAL guy, right?
He's probably got a jock on, too, you know?
Yeah, I'm hoping he's not wearing a shirt.
I'm hoping I get to rest my head against his chest as he carries me out like a little baby.
I love the idea.
Well, the Navy SEAL, he is in full firefighter gear, but he's sprinting.
He's sprinting fast, not like the lesbian who's sprinting slowly while carrying oxygen and firefighter gear.
And it's funny.
I look at this woman.
I don't think fat or unhealthy at all.
I think strong.
I think big.
I think she could easily pick me up.
Yeah, she looks strong.
I'm stoked to see her.
I know that there are...
Me, personally, I know there are a bunch of Navy SEALs that can't help me out.
I feel like she could probably help me out.
It's so funny.
These believe your eyes.
Believe what you see, guys.
Look at this woman and they're like...
She couldn't press me.
These are all dudes who she could probably whoop their ass.
I trust her.
I look at her and I trust her.
Do you think normal firefighters...
Marvel has ruined your brain.
If you think the average firefighter looks like Chris Evans.
Yeah.
If you think the average firefighter looks like some roided out muscle fitness freak who is in whatever last vigilante justice movie or cape shit.
Yeah, this is just...
It's such a weird fetishization of masculinity.
I guess I get it.
I wonder how honest it really is because Clint Russell does not look like an alpha guy.
He doesn't look like a model, let's just say.
So I think maybe he's posing like one.
If you saw a firefighter and they were just ugly, would you complain about it?
Right?
If you're in a situation where you need to see a firefighter, are you going to care at all what they look like or who they are?
You're just going to be stoked that they're there.
It's the thing, too.
It's the whole individualism thing.
People forget how this works.
It's not going to be one firefighter helping you out.
They work in teams for a reason.
You know, and like, I have, don't get me wrong, I have a few friends who are firefighters that are definitely roided out, jacked, handsome dudes.
I also know other firefighters who are just regular folks who you might describe as like a schlub if you saw them walking down the street.
And they all save lives.
Yeah, if I see a firefighter, you know, coming towards me and he doesn't have that strong sort of square jawline, you might think, oh, well, that's, you know, you're just...
You know, giving a surface level reading or whatever.
No, that is like indicative of the moral character of the firefighter.
And like, you know, is he really going to be that motivated to save me?
Is he really going to be that courageous?
Is he really going to like have, you know, God in his heart or whatever?
And these are all important things and not things I just made up to cope with the fact we live in a dying world.
Yeah.
And like the situation we're in right now.
You need to be more worried if the firefighter has the equipment they need to save your life.
That's what you should be worried about them having, not their sexuality or orientation or anything like that.
That's going to be the problem now.
They were going to have an extra firefighter, but they had to paint the fire truck rainbow color, so they couldn't afford another firefighter.
Tony, I have seen that meme.
I would like to see a study of what could be done with all the cop cars that get priated out.
