Hey friends, it's Emily and Samie, and in this week’s episode of the Um, Sir Podcast, we’re bitter and not in the mood for institutional bullshit.
We’re talking about a lot this week—like the brain-dead pregnant woman in Georgia being kept alive against her family’s wishes. We get into the medical ethics, the political theater, and the horrifying reality of what that looks like in practice (spoiler: it’s not just Sleeping Beauty in a hospital bed).
We also talk about Washington State’s new clergy mandatory reporting law (yes, even if it’s said in confession), and why the Catholic Church is big mad about it. Meanwhile, the Quakers are out here being the real MVPs—marching for immigrant rights with 17th-century receipts in hand. Respect.
Plus:
✨ Deja Foxx came to Washington and gave us life
✨ Redheads are Black now (Emily included—TikTok said so)
✨ Annabelle might’ve set fire to a plantation
✨ Ben & Jerry’s is fighting genocide harder than most of Congress
We said what we said. And if you’re a politician not doing your job, maybe don’t listen to this one. Or do. And take notes.
