Kat and Nat critique conservative candidates’ confusion over gender policies, mock Dylan’s TikTok transition narrative as attention-seeking, and dismiss Harry Styles’ sexuality comments as queer baiting. A Columbia study links Pfizer/Moderna vaccines to alopecia in nine patients, raising distrust amid CDC disinformation claims. They pivot to veganism, citing Miley Cyrus’s health struggles and Ted Nugent’s soy farming critique, warning of hidden risks in plant-based diets. Ultimately, the episode urges skepticism toward mainstream narratives on gender, health, and nutrition while promoting their own research-driven content. [Automatically generated summary]
Hello and welcome to Misunderstood, a show for all you culturally and politically misunderstood ladies and gents.
We are your hosts.
I'm Kat and I'm Nat.
And today we're going to be covering a few topics such as Dylan, the trans TikToker who is documenting their transition from male to female, Harry Styles and the alleged ambiguity around his sexuality, and the mob coming for Christian actor Chris Pratt again.
But first, we're going to start things off with our Pattentin Culture Shock Moment of the Week.
Take it away, Kat.
So here's a shock.
Not all the conservative leadership candidates are about supporting female-only spaces.
We are.
Nat and I had the pleasure of going to a leadership meet and greet yesterday in Burlington, Ontario, where we got to see Patrick Brown, Scott Aitchenson, who knows, Leslie Lewis, Perry Pia, Roman Favor.
Roman Baber and Jean Chara.
And we had the opportunity to ask them how they feel about biological males entering female spaces.
And much to our surprise, these social conservatives, some of them anyways, had no idea what we were even talking about.
They were like stunned at the question.
Yeah, so we started with Leslie Lewis and I asked her the question and she looked like she was very displeased with me asking that.
Yeah.
Like she, I think we probably took them off guard because I think a lot of these politicians are used to being asked about COVID, stuff they've prepped for.
But what was most interesting is just the fact that I guess they don't think this is that important of a topic.
Yeah.
It's a hot topic.
It's like going on Twitter.
You know, it seems important, especially when children are being taught that they can be any gender and X and Y chromosomes are just falling out of the sky.
It's like these are important in vogue conversations.
It's a topic that people are talking about all over the world.
And so it was shocking to me that a social conservative like Leslie Lewis, who's a woman, had no, she was like so taken aback by the question.
It was very strange.
The only person who had an answer for us was Roman Baber and he actually gave us a nice little moment, like a short interview, and he had a nice answer, which he will share the answer in our video.
It's great.
But, you know, you're going to be the conservative leader you're hoping to be.
Like, you know, you should try to conserve some female spaces.
I mean, you know, ideally.
Ideally, you're conserving something.
And if not the Conservative Party, then who?
Yeah, probably.
No, no, no.
The PPC, probably.
Yeah, that's true.
So that's the shock.
I was shocked.
Yeah, I mean, I'm still shocked.
I'm still shocked.
Look.
Okay.
Okay.
Well, let's move on.
Yeah, moving on.
Speaking of trans, you guys know a couple weeks ago, we played a clip from Dylan.
Dylan is a TikToker who is documenting on TikTok, obviously, each day that they are a girl.
So this person recently came out as trans, and they are, I guess, just going through each day as a girl.
So there's an article that we would like to touch on.
If you don't mind pulling that up, Mrs. Producer.
Yeah, it's from theskim.com, which I had never heard of either.
It's an interview with Dylan.
One thing that one thing that stuck out to me was that, so here's a quote from the article.
Yes.
Along the way, followers have watched Dylan buy tampons for other women, try yoga for the first time as a woman, and learn about her zodiac sign.
Well, nothing defines you more than your zodiac.
Like you didn't care about Zodiac as a man, but now that you wear leggings, you're like, oh, what sign am I?
Yeah, no, it's crazy.
So basically, this interview is just like gushing at this person for being such a brave and bold woman.
And it's funny that like normal women on their day-to-day don't get celebrated.
Like, you know, we don't get no one.
Oh my God, now what's your zodiac sign?
You're so great.
Exactly.
Like no one's like, oh my gosh, you're the best woman ever, Kat.
And you've been doing it for 17 years, but this person's on day like 40.
And like, let's just write them an article.
You know, and it's like, it's just, it kind of grosses me out because like we are biologically women and no one gives like no one's gives a hoot.
No one gives a hoot.
We're not getting rewarded and we should.
And we should.
Oh my God.
Do more.
No.
But yeah.
And it's also like this article's riddled with misinformation.
Yeah.
Like for instance, there's another quote here.
It says, at the time when there's fear and outrage surrounding measures like Florida's don't say gay law, many find Dylan's videos to be a source of hope and inspiration.
It's like, I thought you read the bill.
I thought as a journalist, you had to do a simple Google.
Like you're supposed to actually do more than that, but at the basic level, like Google it.
Just read the bill yourself.
And it has nothing to do with not saying gay.
It could also be called don't say straight.
It's about not talking about sexuality to children who are in grade three, right?
Yeah.
Like up to grade three.
Yeah, no, exactly.
But these people have, they don't have an agenda, though.
That's, that's what it is.
It's ultimately, it's all politics at the end of the day.
They want to push their agenda.
And yeah, I just think it's interesting.
I mean, this person used to be an actor, okay, and it's- Oh, they're not anymore?
Well, I don't know, but I think this is the biggest role of their life, frankly, because you went from being an unsuccessful actor to having 2 million subscribers on TikTok.
I wonder if there's any kind of motive there.
It's pretty trendy to transition right now.
Yes, I was actually going to come out as non-binary.
Oh my gosh.
That should have been our culture shop.
Yeah.
So well, you heard it here first, folks.
I'm hoping it skyrockets my career.
And if not, then I'll just go back to being a regular woman.
Yeah, just become a woman when it's convenient for you.
Yes, exactly.
And it's very invoked to be trans right now.
Yeah, definitely.
I'm going to try it.
Please, we'll see how this goes, guys.
Yeah.
And one of the other things I thought that was really interesting is that this interviewer asked Dylan the best and worst part about, you know, coming out so publicly.
And this, and Dylan was like, the worst part has been that the vulnerability can be exhausting.
And it's like, but you signed up for this.
Yeah, you document it on Twitter.
Yeah.
Sorry, TikTok.
It's not like anyone is forcing you to do this.
So you're clearly doing it for attention.
So you can't complain about it, frankly.
You're making a career off of this.
Yeah.
You know, no one's interviewing us.
Oh, they can't.
On the skim or whatever it's called.
The skim.
Here's a quote from Dylan.
Actually, it's not a bad quote, like, to be honest.
He or she said, I just realized you can't please everyone.
Everyone's on their different journey, and being a woman is not defined by those.
She's talking about looking specifically like a woman because she dresses.
Okay, yeah, we should talk about that.
So everyone's on a different journey and it's not being defined by those things, but it does help me feel like one in some ways.
I think we all have to have each other's, let each other look like and be the people that we want to be.
And I totally agree with that.
But Dylan, you're on TikTok.
Like, like Nat just said, like, if you're so concerned about being vulnerable and like how private your life, like your private life is being like explored by everyone, it's like you are doing that for TikTok followers and you're being wildly successful at it.
And maybe if you were just a gay guy on TikTok, maybe you wouldn't be so successful.
Like I can't say for sure either way, but it's like.
Yeah, no, definitely.
I think there's a case to be made.
And there's another quote that kind of piggybacks on that.
I want the world to be kind to trans people and they can't look when they can't look like that or when they don't have the energy to get all dulled up because there's a sort of expectation that exists that is sort of unspoken.
And it's like, well, you know where else that expectation exists on actual biological women.
We don't get to just go on TikTok live with a beard, you know, like it would be appalling for the entire world.
Like women are constantly criticized for their looks every single second of the day.
Welcome to the club, Dylan.
So you don't get to just like be a woman when it's convenient for you.
Like you have to put the effort in 100% of the time, not 99% of the time, unfortunately.
Or deal with the criticism of someone saying, oh, you look kind of like a mandated.
It's like, you know what?
Sometimes I look like a man, you know?
Like, I've had my bad days, and it's like, if I'm feeling ugly, I'm probably not going to post on TikTok that day.
But it's like, if I do, I'm going to be open to criticism.
And that's what you get when you're a TikToker and a massive one.
Yeah.
2 million followers.
That's a lot.
Yeah.
And here's another quote from Dylan.
I put so much of myself out there, but there are still parts of me that I have to keep private or things that just belong to me.
In some ways, it does feel like I now owe people things or I need to chime in on anything that goes on in my life.
I don't want to get to a place where my transition feels like it's owned by someone else.
That's called being famous.
It's owned by China.
Yeah.
Because you're coming out on TikTok, my friend.
So sorry.
Like, yeah, I just, I'm so sick of these famous people complaining about being famous.
It's like, hello, we're trying.
Yeah, we're trying so hard over here.
We're gonna get our arses off.
Once we get famous, we're gonna start complaining about being famous.
Yeah, like we will.
No, I'm just kidding.
No.
But you know, it just, it just seems silly.
Like, if you really are so, if you're feeling the weight of the world, then quit.
Like, quit TikTok, just transition.
And that kind of also speaks to the fact, like, the article kind of touches on how, like, you know, paving the way for the trans community.
And some trans people still feel unsafe.
And it's like, well, if you really felt that unsafe, you wouldn't be on social media.
You'd be hiding.
If you lived in a country that wasn't accepting, you wouldn't be able to freely come out as a transgender person.
So it's like, are you unsafe?
I don't think so.
Of course, there are going to be horrible people out there who mistreat you.
But you know what?
That happens to everyone.
It happens to biological women too.
Oh, yeah.
So ever walk down the street alone at night?
Yeah.
Dylan?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I bet you start puffing up that chest when you do.
Seriously.
I just think it's interesting that like the first video that Dylan put out was like day one of being a woman.
It's like, so yesterday you were a man.
Yeah.
And today you're a woman?
You can just flip the side.
You can just do that?
Like, guess so.
You must be nice.
Well, today I'm a billionaire.
Yeah.
Can I have some stuff?
Yeah.
Okay.
Definitely.
Sweet.
So she's so generous.
Yes.
Anyways, I just want to say, like, I think of all the people on TikTok who are transitioning and documenting it, Dylan is not my least favorite.
Like, there's a charm.
There is a certain charm.
This person's an actor.
Yes.
And I was going to say, like, I feel like I know this person a little bit just by watching all their videos.
And like, he honestly, she feels like a nice person.
Like, she does.
She feels like a kind person.
She does say a lot of kind things about, you know, the community and other women.
And she, she carries tampons, not for herself, but for other women, because she wants to like bond with women.
And as misguided as it may be, it's sort of sweet.
Like, she's not, she doesn't seem like a predator to me.
No.
Like, I don't, I, I, I have no problem.
And she's, and she's obviously an adult.
Like, she's not a child.
No, for sure, like a consenting adult.
Yeah.
Sure.
I have a lot of people.
So like go for it.
Do it.
It's just like, you know, like if you're going to be complaining about being vulnerable on the internet, like don't be vulnerable on the internet.
Yeah.
You have a choice.
So, you know.
Yeah.
Best of luck to you.
Yeah.
And stop dressing like a child though.
Yeah, you're really creepy.
Yeah.
The way that you dress is like Dorothy from Wizard of Oz.
And it's like, have you seen a woman nowadays?
Like, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Anyways.
All right.
Should we talk about other people who kind of act like women?
Yes.
Harry Stiles, everyone.
Harry Stiles was in the news recently.
He had an interview with a magazine.
I wrote it down.
It's about gardening.
Yeah.
It's okay.
The magazine is called Better Homes and Gardens.
Relevant.
And in this interview, Harry Styles is talking about how he doesn't want to define his sexuality because it's like no one's business.
And I'm just trying to.
It's outdated.
Yeah, it's outdated.
Right.
It's outdated, and it's like, first of all, it's not outdated if you're talking to your sexual partners, they might be interested to know.
Um, but it's also interesting because it's like this is a better homes and garden magazine, and they're like, So, Harry, what kind of garden do you have?
And he's like, Stop talking about my sexuality, and I'm like, I just wanted to know about your like poinsettias.
And the thing is, so he gets a lot of accusations for being like for queer baiting.
Yeah, that's a that's a term I had not never heard that word before.
Yeah, um, and he and he added, Am I sprinkling in nuggets of sexual ambiguity to try to be more interesting?
Yes, he says no, but we say yes, we say yes, yes, you do, um, because otherwise, what else do you have going for you?
Yeah, like are you dating men?
Are you sleeping with men and dating men?
No, no one's ever seen that, you've never very attractive woman, yeah.
And I, and you dated Taylor Swift, and she ain't no man, yeah.
Um, and I just think it's interesting.
My theory, of course, how dare I make a judgment about his sexuality?
But my theory is he is a straight white guy who needs to say, Oh, no, like it's no one's business, it's outdated.
Like, who knows what I am?
It's like, no, you're sleeping with hot models, yeah, you're a straight white guy, and it's okay, Harry.
Yeah, just be straight.
You're allowed to wear nail polish, I don't care.
Like, he looks good.
I don't think it's attractive when he wears like lace gowns.
Like, I wouldn't want my man to do that, but like, he looks good, he's okay, he looks okay, he looks all right.
I think he's just had too much soy, um, yeah, or something, but yes, I'd like to see him in like a denim jacket, yeah, that'd be like a leather, yeah, like buoy it up a little bit, that could be hot.
Yeah, I agree.
Um, one of them, there's another article that kind of touches on this where he recalls his sexuality stressing him out.
Um, and one of the articles starts with like, he wasn't always a sex symbol, and I was like, No, because he was a child, but it's also like, You can't classify men who wear dresses as sexists, yeah, you just can't.
Like, no, maybe some women are into that, as you mentioned, but I really don't.
Yeah, the majority of us are not gonna date you or sleep with you.
I'm sure he gets a lot of yeah, but it's but I agree where like any teenage girl who's like screaming at his concert would be like, Okay, but like, actually, when you meet my parents, please don't wear a dress, yeah, please, and probably no nail polish too, you know?
I don't know, I just think I mean, it can be punk, yeah, that's true, yeah, but like, yeah, the dress is like nail polish.
You're obviously you're obviously doing exactly what you say you're not doing.
You're peppering in sexual ambiguity to be more interesting, yeah.
And it's we're on to you, we see right through it.
I see, you know, if you want to give me a call, I can tell you some cool men's stores to shop at.
Yeah, I mean, you have the money, yeah, you can't do it.
So, like, come on, dude.
Yeah, um, and I guess when he was in one direction, he had to sign like a clause basically that like prohibited him from like having sex, I guess.
I think it was just being a sexual like icon, like talking about sex.
Like, it was like, keep it behind closed doors because this is like a family show, which is funny because now that's exactly what he wants to do.
But he was like complaining about the clause in this article, and you're like, dude, like you, that's what you wanted all along.
And it's like, you also didn't have to sign that contract, like, you don't have to.
Like, if you're a talented person, there are other opportunities for you to make it as a musician.
Label Everything?00:02:12
Like, it's kind of funny that he's complaining about don't know any of his music.
So, but I feel like he makes music for little teens.
Oh, for little teens.
Teens, tweens, right?
Tweens who think it's cute when boys wear dresses.
Okay, well, I was never that young.
No, no.
I plan to never be that young.
Yes.
He has a quote here I want to read.
He says, The whole point of where we should be heading, which is toward accepting everybody and being more open, is that it doesn't matter.
And it's not about having to label everything, not having to clarify what boxes you're checking.
And I'm like, again, your sexual partners deserve to know that.
Yeah.
Plus, it's funny because the left loves to label everything.
Yeah.
You're a bigot.
You're trans, you're like what gender exactly.
Are you like what?
Like, are you spectrum?
Like, you know, like everything is about labels on the left.
So it's funny that you say that because it's obviously not true.
Either that or you're just a fake progressive.
I just learned our coworker Mike and I were looking at like a list of all the genders and one of them is like neuro something.
And anyways, it's about not being straight or gay or bi and also not falling into the non-binary category.
So it's like, that's too much of a label, being non-binary.
It's like you're like, you're not even that.
You're just nothing.
You're this piece of paper right here.
You're just like nothing.
You're like dust.
Yeah.
And imagine your friends are like, okay, I can get on board with being non-you being non-binary, but that's too far.
Yeah.
I don't even know what to call you now.
Plus, why do you want to erase gender?
It's beautiful to have biological differences, you guys.
Okay.
Like, let's like, we've talked about this on the show before.
It's okay to have, to blend some traits.
I mean, cat now is non-binary, so you'll start to see a little more of that come out within the show.
But it's all right to just like be what you are.
Like you don't have to try to be like Harry Sales.
You don't have to be so out there to be unique and special.
Like you are unique and special.
You're born that way.
Cancel Culture Conflicts00:08:36
Yeah.
You don't have to try so hard.
Yes.
Okay.
And it's okay to be a white cis male.
Yeah.
It's okay.
It is.
Not everyone's going to be that, but you are.
Yeah.
So you can just do that.
All right.
Fewer and fewer of you.
Yeah.
So we're losing the men.
Yeah.
So maybe that's the new.
We need you, Harry.
We need you, Harry.
Okay.
He's got a nice chiseled jaw.
So come back to the good side.
Come back to the good side, okay?
I think he just has like a research team that's like, you know, when you wore that dress at the Met Gala?
A lot of R Ts.
You got a lot of R Ts that day, my friend, and he's like, I'm on it.
And just like goes from there.
So, you know, it's working for you, but I'm not buying it.
And I don't think it's a sustainable career plan.
No, especially when you want to get married and have children.
Yeah.
That's okay.
To an older woman who already has a child.
Yes.
So should we talk about real men now?
Yes.
Let's talk about one of the only actual men in Hollywood.
Yeah.
Other than Matthew McConaughey.
I think he's.
Okay.
Well, one of.
Yeah.
We'll talk about Matthew another day because he's worth discussing that day.
Yeah.
I'm going to buy a link in just to be near him.
Yeah.
Chris Pratt is the man that we're discussing today, and he was under fire last week.
People were trying to get him fired from Guardians of the Galaxy, the franchise, for, and what was his crime?
I forget.
What did he do?
Who did he?
I think he's just like a Christian and he's open about it.
Is that wrong?
No, yes.
He's associated with the church.
Oh, my gosh.
And you know, the church has a history of discriminating against the LGBT community.
Right.
So we should cancel him immediately.
Right.
Because upholding a biblical standard of marriage means you're not letting any gay person into your church.
Yeah, that's not what that means, by the way, guys.
No.
You're welcome.
Yeah.
And he's never specifically said anything homophobic or sexist or racist that I know of.
And I'm sure we would know.
I'm sure we would hear about it.
It's literally just that people know he's a Christian.
Oh, gosh.
And that's his big crime.
And thank goodness, the director of Guardians of the Galaxy, I don't know his, oh, I don't know his name.
Do you know his name?
I don't know his name.
But anyways, the director of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise defended Chris Pratt and was like, we're not going to cancel him.
His last name's Gunn.
There you go.
That's all I like.
Mr. Gunn.
Yeah.
We're not going to cancel him because of his political leanings.
Yeah.
So basically there was a tweet that went viral where, as you mentioned, where they advocated for Pratt to be replaced.
And it was like a side-by-side photo of two of Chris Pratt and another actor, I think, Patrick Wilson, and they look very similar.
So you're just going to replace this guy with another white guy who looks the same and that's going to solve your problems until you find out that Patrick Wilson also loves his wife and then you're going to cancel him too.
Exactly.
Like you just can't win.
And basically many are applauding Gunn for sticking up for Pratt and refusing to go along with the trend of canceling someone or even worse, getting them fired.
So it basically just speaks to the fact that when the mob comes after you, ignore them and guess what?
They'll just go away.
They'll just go away.
That's when you're gasping.
They're putting on that fire.
Exactly.
And I really respect that this director is just kind of like letting it be.
Yeah, I respect that too.
He's probably so rich.
He's like, no.
Yeah, I'm good.
We're good.
I'm gonna keep making Guardians of the Galaxy 57.
Yeah.
You know what?
The liberals may not go watch it, but you know who will now?
The Christians.
Yeah.
So there you go.
We still need to watch them.
Yeah, there's always less and less stuff that we can watch that's entertaining.
Absolutely.
I think it's interesting, though, because this whole concept of canceling someone for beliefs that you don't agree with, it's interesting because last week there was also a petition on Twitter going around to have Amber Heard canceled from, like fired from Aquaman 2.
And it got me thinking because I was like, yeah, you know, do I want her?
Like, did I watch Aquaman 1?
No.
Will I watch Aquaman 2?
No.
So do I personally care?
No.
But she seems like a horrible person.
But we shouldn't be petitioning people.
I mean, this is my question.
Like, should we be petitioning to have people canceled just because we disagree with them?
I would say no.
And I think that would stand for Amber Heard as well.
It's like, unless she's found guilty of a crime, then she will be, she can't work because she's in jail.
Well, and it's interesting, too, because, you know, in the wake of hashtag Me Too, you know, there's all those Weinstein movies.
Harvey Weinstein is a producer.
A lot of movies are made by his company or produced by him.
And those movies are still out and about on the air, you know, like everyone, we can go watch them.
I mean, Jennifer Lawrence is in like literally all of them.
I can't even rub his name from the credits.
Right.
Sure, but he's, the money's still afloating.
Yeah.
The money's still afloat.
Like, they still wouldn't have existed without him.
Right.
And so the point is, like, you go after Amber, you go after Chris.
Like, then you literally have to go after every single movie in Hollywood because they're all disgusting, immoral people.
Like, true.
They are.
There's a lot of skeletons in their closet.
Okay.
How many people knew about Harvey Weinstein?
Harvey Weinstein and what he was doing.
Right.
Like a lot of celebrities, I'm sure, knew.
Uh-huh.
And they just turned, they just turned.
Because they were getting paid and they didn't care.
Exactly.
So, you know.
I just don't think we should be like canceling people because we don't agree with them.
If they're breaking the law, the law will handle that.
Yeah.
And I think there's also a bigger conversation to be had about, you know, boycotting things and stuff as well because it's kind of to an extent.
But then it's like, what are you also going to do?
Like, okay, there was that big controversy a long time ago about that conservative influencer in Sephora.
I don't know anything about that.
Yeah, so she was like this Christian Trump supporting Latin American conservatives influencer, okay?
She was sponsored by Sephora.
And I guess people complained about her because she's a Trumpster.
And then they, I guess their contract, they ended their contract with her.
So this happened.
And it's like, okay, but I still want to go to Sephora.
So it's like, where do you draw that line?
You know, like, obviously, my values are not aligned with Sephora's for like a lot of things.
Yeah, no, I have to still shop there.
But yeah, where else do you want to do that?
They only sell drunk elephant stuff there.
So it's like, if we cancel everything, there'll be nowhere for us to shop either.
And, you know, in the United States, I think there's more of an opportunity to start your own business and like more people are starting more conservative, you know, minded businesses.
But in Canada, everyone's scared to be a conservative openly.
we don't have that privilege so it's like and even a lot of these like small like you and i have reached out to a couple of small beauty brands in canada that we like because they're like clean canadian beauty brands with like sustainable packaging and stuff And we're like, this really speaks to who we are.
And you reach out to them and they're like, don't want to be associated with consumers.
I'm going to apply.
Yeah.
And it's like, so am I going to stop shopping?
Well, you can't because where else would you go?
Where am I going to get my clean blush?
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, her blush looks great.
Maybe now that you're non-binary, you don't need blush.
Exactly.
We'll see.
Or I need more.
Only time will tell.
Or I'll make it blue.
Yeah.
But, you know, we should commend Chris Pratt, I think, for being an outspoken Christian in Hollywood because as we've talked about before, like, it's very clear that Hollywood hates Christians.
So for him to, like, pick up his cross and just carry it, like, that's what we're called to do as Christians.
Even do it very, like, overtly.
It's like pretty subtle still.
Yeah, which is, I think, great too, because then I think you're kind of like bridging the gap.
Like, maybe his research.
He doesn't have to shove it down everybody's throat.
Exactly.
And who knows, like, who he could bring to Christ through that subtlety?
Like, you just don't know.
And I think it should be commended.
But, you know, as Christians, like, we are called to, we are, the Bible says we will be persecuted for his name.
So, you know, keep picking up your cross, Chris, because I think, like, great crisscross.
You will be, you're glorifying God.
And I think that's what we're called to do.
So if only more celebrities were open about that.
I bet there's a lot more.
And I know I've heard stories of, again, Joe Rogan saying, it was actually Jerry Seinfeld said that he has people.
Oh, no, it wasn't Jerry Seinfeld.
Sorry, it was Ben Shapiro said he has a lot of like liberal Hollywood friends who will secretly whisper to him like, oh, I totally agree with you.
Yeah.
And it's like, but you will never say it out loud.
So I bet there's a lot of like secret closeted Christians who just like believe in family values and stuff and who are just like, I'm not going to say it though because I don't want to get canceled.
It's like, you don't want to get canceled for like loving God.
Yeah.
That's so sad.
No, it's, it's also like you're not doing your job as a Christian, frankly.
Like you're just not.
I'll just read this Bible verse if that's okay.
Yeah.
Matthew 5, 10 to 12.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
So it's a blessing to be persecuted by our culture and you got to keep doing it.
Why We Secretly Love Meat00:13:48
And so any of you closeted Hollywood actors who are obviously watching this show, you are not doing enough.
So get out there.
Hey, Brad.
We're looking at you, Pitt.
Yeah.
I think that's good.
Yeah.
All right.
That was great.
We're going to move on to what are we doing, a blitz?
We're doing health.
Health, of course.
We're going to talk about health.
I know this is a bit of a variety show, but you know, our variety hour.
Our last few shows have been kind of dark and heavy.
So we just wanted to lighten things up with some gender neutrality and some non-binary.
Yeah.
And we're going to power clash our way through this next segment.
That's what we do.
Excuse me.
That's what we do best.
Okay.
So here's something interesting.
Baldness may be a side effect of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Women experience their worst nightmare after getting the jab.
This article is from Eevee magazine.
You know we love Eevee.
Yep.
This is horrifying.
This is horrifying.
So I guess it just started as like an anecdotal account of another possible side effect.
And basically it's resulted in several studies examining the connection between the vaccine and alopecia.
So it's an autoimmune disease resulting in hair loss and baldness.
And the article, you should go read the article yourself, but it does actually offer a bunch of studies, a bunch of stats.
So it's pretty legit.
It seems legit, and it's pretty scary.
I'd just like to say, if you have suffered alopecia as a result of the vaccine, now you have a really great excuse to go around slapping everybody.
Yeah.
So that's great.
Thanks, Will.
Right?
Yeah.
It's like a free card to assault whoever you want.
So there's that's a silver lining.
Great.
But in all seriousness, here's a quote from the article which is citing a research study.
It says seven researchers from Columbia's University Department of Dermatology and Irving Medical Center examined nine patients, five women, four men ages 15 to 62, six of whom had received two doses of Pfizer and three who had received two doses of Moderna.
Within four months of the second dose, or in some cases, even just a week after, all nine patients developed some form of alopecia.
Oh gosh.
This just speaks to the importance of like informed consent.
And the problem is you cannot have informed consent with this vaccine because we are the trial.
Like for those, and I'm, I'm like, it's fine if you took the vaccine, like that's your body, your choice.
I respect that, but you weren't offered proper informed consent because no one has any idea of the long-term implications.
And that's so sad.
Like it, I feel like losing your hair as a woman would be like losing a limb.
Like, I just think, yeah, it's horrible.
Like, women are defined by their hair.
Look at us.
Exactly.
Yeah, I have lots of thoughts.
It's really, really scary.
Like you said, as a woman, losing your hair can be very traumatic.
And some women are going to, anyways, because of genetics.
And there are lots of things you can do.
There's like, there are lasers and there's pills and there's surgeries.
It's not fun.
It's not pretty.
But, you know, growing up and growing old isn't fun and pretty either.
But if you were to fast track that process because you were vaccinated, that would be terrible.
And also, like, people sign up for medical research studies all the time.
But the thing is, is they are signing consent.
They're saying, I know that we don't really know the long-term effects of what I'm doing, but I want to be a part of this study.
Maybe I need some extra cash.
Maybe I just want to help science.
Fine.
But people who were given the vaccine weren't told that they were being part of a study.
And even Obama last week or two weeks ago or something said, like, we essentially tested the vaccine on Americans.
And it's like, ooh, yek.
Yeah.
Thanks for admitting that, though, Obama.
Thanks for admitting it now.
Yeah.
Like cheaper.
And it's interesting because there is apparently a new drug targeting alopecia that's currently in the phase three of trial testing.
So who makes that drug?
Oh, well, you know what, you guys?
It's our friends at Pfizer.
Wow.
Yeah.
So my theory, because we've talked about this on the show before, with the vaccine being linked to infertility potentially or just issues in menstruation.
So, hello, big pharma customers for life.
They give you the disease and then they have the cure.
That's not the first time Big Pharma has done that.
What a lucrative business.
Yes.
Customers for life.
So great, guys.
That's great.
And how timely, you know?
It's just, it's sad.
Yeah.
It's sad.
And it just, I think it just really fosters distrust in our medical industries.
You know, I feel like more inclined to just like move to the woods and like eat leaves.
Yeah.
Well, that's exactly the biggest problem here is not losing hair, maybe, but it's, I mean, it is if it's happening to you.
Yeah.
But like, it might be just that all of this disinformation that we're seeing and lack of informed consent is causing people like ourselves to completely distrust the medical system.
Like if I want to, like just the other day, I was Googling something and a CDC thing came up and I was like, don't trust that.
But it's like, I should, I should trust the Center for Disease Control.
I should be able to trust that.
But I'm like, you know what?
They have been lying for years now.
So maybe I have to go and look at this random blogger.
Like, I don't want to have to do that.
We have to, I mean, it's up to us to have multiple sources when it's your own health in your hands.
But it's like really, really sad that we now have to completely, it's like a full-time job.
Now, you want to Google something, you have to do like five or six different queries and research and change the wording and go on duck duck go and go on brave and you have to cross-reference.
And it's like, that's our job now.
It's exhausting.
It's exhausting.
I just want to know what shampoo is good.
Yeah.
A thousand percent.
Yeah, for Christ's sake.
And so, also, you know, as an action item, if you do know anyone who is suffering from this side effect, and God, I hope you don't know anyone and/or you yourself, apparently, stinging nettle can help.
Nettle leaf tea is a huge thing.
It's interesting because nettle grows like on the side of the highway and stuff, but it's poisonous if you eat it without being cooked or boiled.
So, like, don't eat it raw, but there are ways that you can cook it.
Like, they were talking about like cooking the collar, like the greens, putting it in a tea.
Apparently, this can help stimulate hair growth.
And it's actually really good for period cramps.
Good to know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's interesting that you're not going to hear that from many mainstream news outlets because you know what?
It's not sold in a pharmacy.
Yeah.
Nettle grows on the side of the highway.
So why are they going to tell you to use it?
Because God's medicine cats.
Yeah, exactly.
You can go on Amazon and buy nettle supplements, I'm sure, right?
Or nettle leaf tea bags.
And it's like big pharma's not directly benefiting from that financially.
So they're not going to tell you to use it.
But it's like they have a pharmaceutical for you, but there's other things you can do.
Yep.
And there's serums, hair growth serums, and there's all sorts of stuff.
So you have to look into it.
And, you know, our hair is important to us.
It's not your whole, like, no.
It's not the whole hair.
It's not designed by your hair.
You're not.
But some.
We're looking at you, Jada.
Exactly.
It's not, it's not what it means to be a woman.
Some men are super into their hair.
Some people have no hair at all.
Some people have gorgeous hair and they choose to shave it off.
That's their thing.
And that's awesome.
It's just if you have experienced hair loss as a result of this, there are things you can do about it.
So we're with you on that.
Yeah.
And, you know, do your research.
Yeah.
And do your research before getting any more boosters.
Yeah.
And do your research before becoming a vegan.
Yes.
My goodness.
Can we talk about this a little bit?
Yes, let's talk about this.
You know, Miley Cyrus was in the news.
I think it was actually 2020.
She was on the Joe Rogan podcast and she said that she had to start including fish into her diet because she's a very outspoken vegan.
She has been for a long time and she has like animals that she rescues.
And I think that's awesome.
Yeah.
I love that she cares about animals.
Absolutely.
And for me, I do eat meat, but I do have a moral problem with the way that we manufacture meat.
Like I see those trucks on the highway with the pigs in them and it literally makes me want to cry.
Yeah, I think there's been a lot of unethical practices, but it's important to note there are still many farms in North America that are treating your animals with respect.
Exactly.
You can find healthy, happy meat, and you just have to, it might cost a little bit more, but you can definitely, especially if you go to the city, go to a farmer's market, like you can find great meat.
If you're eating at McDonald's, you're probably eating sweatshop meat.
Right.
And you know, when you're, you're right.
You might be paying a premium to get, you know, better quality meat, but you're also feeding into your local economy.
And that's what we need right now to stop the great reset.
So just to throw that in there.
But yeah, so basically she ditched her diet because her brain wasn't functioning properly and she was pretty malnourished.
So I'm so glad she admitted this because we talked about veganism a couple, oh gosh, months ago now.
And when we posted a clip about it, vegans were mad.
Someone commented, they're like, we're not lions.
And I'm like, actually, our teeth aren't made to eat meat.
It's like, they are.
Yes, they literally are.
They literally are.
We're omnivores.
That is the kind of species that humans are.
We eat leaves and grains.
Yep.
That's the way God intended it, my friends.
So you're right.
It's just biologically the way it is.
And of course, we are very proud advocates of your body.
Fuel your body with what makes you feel good and what helps you to be a productive member of society.
But for most people, that includes incorporating meat into your diet.
Sure, you can do it if you're like rich and you have all the money in the world to have a lot of people.
Because in this article, it says, well, it's quoted from the Joe Rogan podcast.
Miley Sara said, or sorry, it's not a quote from her, but it says she was doing all the supplements, making protein shakes, et cetera, but it just wasn't enough at the end of the day.
Right.
But my point is that it's not enough for her body.
Like, maybe someone else is able to.
I think it just depends on your body.
Yeah, some people do feel great and are very healthy on a vegan diet.
I think, like, if that's how your genealogy is built, like, maybe that's right for you.
I think there's an interesting theory about what your ancestors ate is what's best for your gut biology.
So that's interesting.
My parents and grandparents and great-grandparents all ate meat and potatoes.
So me love a steak and potato.
That's my girl.
But it's interesting that Miley Cyrus, with literally all with literally all of the resources available to her, was taking all the supplements.
She has all the money in the world.
She can get that good nutrition, but she was still lacking in the basic nutrients.
I think it's vitamin A or one of the major vitamins that we need only comes from D12.
Yeah, one of them.
We'll figure it out.
But one of these major vitamins that you need in your diet to have a healthy, well-balanced life is only found in animal products.
Yeah.
You cannot find it anywhere else.
I think it's D3.
Right.
D3.
The thing is, there's so many vitamins that meat offers you, and you need them.
And, you know, taking if your diet forces you to take vitamins, like you, like, that's way more expensive than just going and buying meat, frankly.
Yeah.
So it's like, I don't know.
It's something to pay attention to, I think.
And I'm glad that she's being outspoken about this because, as we mentioned, like, she was just such a stark, staunch vegan before.
So it's good.
It's good when these people admit that they're wrong.
And, you know, a lot of people I know who are vegan and vegetarian don't look healthy.
Like they just don't.
They're not as strong.
They're not as glowy, you know, in their skin and stuff.
And I just think it's something we should talk about more.
Well, I was a vegetarian when I was in high school and I was not supplementing.
I was literally eating like potato chips for my meals.
And my hair started falling out and my skin turned yellow because I was jaundiced.
Oh, gosh.
So I can bet you that not every vegan is supplementing with all the, even if like even if it's very expensive.
And you end up eating a lot more carbs than you would if you just ate meat.
You're fat and weak.
That was me.
Weak.
I was fat and weak.
And I got really, really sick.
And I had to go to the doctor and they were like, you are dying.
My eyeballs, literally, the whites of my eyes turned yellow.
Oh, that's so cool.
And I started eating meat and my skin returned to its normal shade immediately, like that week.
It was crazy.
And I was like, oh my gosh, it was crazy.
You got to just got to follow God's life.
But that was stupid.
I wasn't taking any supplements at all.
But it's like, that's expensive and it's also unnatural.
And like, I currently take supplements because our modern diets do not include all the vitamins.
Our foods are, our vegetables are less nutrient-dense than they were, you know, a couple decades ago.
So the earth, like, mineral soil, soil, the top layer.
Yeah.
You know.
So, I mean, it sucks that we're at a place, you know, where we have to potentially take supplements to supplement our diets.
But if that's literally how you're relying on getting nutrients, like there's something wrong with your diet, and you need to look at that because, sure, you know, you're saving the animals or whatever, but like, are you saving yourself?
And are you even?
There's actually a really interesting quote from Ted Nugent.
He was on the Joe Rogan podcast talking about this, and they actually used the quote in an episode of Yellowstone.
And it's about how, in order to farm tofu and soy, you have to dredge up so like the amount of soy that we're creating right now, you have to dredge up so much land and you are literally ripping animals out of the ground.
The amount of dead animals that come up in the grinding process when you're like milling the land to plant the soy is horrific.
Oh my gosh.
Horrific.
And so you're like, are you actually saving animals?
Are you?
There you go.
And like, and you know, it's not better for the environment because look at how much water you need to get some of these things.
Like almond milk, for example, like it's, it's not, it's not sustainable, frankly.
And I think the biggest question at hand here is why is there such a push for all of us to be vegetarians?
It's so weird.
Every time I'm on the highway, I see like impossible sausage, like plant-based nutrition.
It's like beyond meat.
Yes, exactly.
And like plants are great.
Eat plantable.
You got to eat vegetables.
Vegetables are great.
But the whole plant, there's actually a really interesting book called Plant Paradox that my dad is like been trying to make me read.
And it's a complex book, so I can't really sum it up.
But basically, it's like, is it more healthy to only eat plants?
Not necessarily.
The Push for Vegetarianism00:02:09
Yeah.
Not necessarily.
Yeah.
So.
Yeah.
So it's just interesting.
So you need to think about why are the powers that be, why is Hollywood so many celebrities?
Why are they pushing this weird agenda?
Do they want us to be pharmaceutical customers for life?
Maybe they just want us to be unhealthy.
I think so, but maybe I should take off my tinfoil hat.
Nah, keep it on.
It looks great on you.
But that's an interesting point.
Like, what are they getting out of this?
Yeah.
I don't know.
But I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Only time will tell.
Yeah, I'm sure we're going to find out that Bill Gates owns like all the impossible sausages in the world.
And it's like, and no wonder, like, Mr. Soy Boobs is telling everyone to eat soy products.
Not going to take dietary advice from you, Bill.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Nope.
But we.
Yeah.
But we appreciate your input.
Just kidding.
I think that's the show.
Yeah.
I think we did it.
We did it.
That was very successful.
I feel good about it.
Yeah, me too.
