When I grew up in Saint Petersburg, like Tampa Bay, it was like in NPR affiliate and everything. But this is not WMNF. This is WHIV. 102.3 low Power FM I'm a little throwed right now. This is Robert of good morning. Comrade Jeff has made his way back to fight for labor rights in Virginia, right? I'm a little throwed because we're not recording in the studio. This is not live, so please hold all calls. But this is in the home studio. And I'm with my lovely wife Aaron, who is a in and out, you know, guest. Of the podcast also host guest licensed mental health profession. And she's here. So it's like having your very own doctor Katz. I'm also in the world's squeakiest chair, so sorry, everybody. It's very squeaked out. And also I have really bad vocal fry. So your. Vocal fry is fine. You it's authoritative. No, apparently no amount. How do you figure that? Because I've I've spoken to Ben. That men are trash like you've told me this. On various occasions. So why are we concerned of what men think? Because your listeners, you're. Mostly men. I'm. Assuming, I mean they are when I run the when I run the, I'm trash I'm I'm trash. You guys aren't. Trash, though, so that's so don't complain about my. Local fry, so we'll be fine. We're all good. No, there is definitely a trash can that lives inside of me. So and also I just had to grab my keyboard from because we have our cat Ozzie, who is chilling out, but he loves to like lay on the keyboard and then it's just like a random like, what's going to happen when he does it. Usually he screws up video games. He's trying to screw up recording of a podcast right now, but he's such a. Our other at Henry likes to attack my laptop when I'm using it, especially when I'm on a training or a conference call and she likes to send fund messages to the other participants. Good boy. That's so awesome. And then I get a bunch of messages back. I think your cat sent me a message. And it's like, yes. Yeah. What did it say? No, mostly it was like a lot. Of days and ages. Ohh, a sassy a sketch lot of case. No, that's where she. That's where she was standing. Lot of case sassy, sassy cats, sassy cats. JKL drive. What's going on, Aaron? Somebody tried to steal our cat? I found out. I guess that's going on OK. Speaking of cats. So I come home and like both of our neighbors, our neighbor from up the block and and our neighbor next door is like there was a guy cause we have a, you know, our we have cats who have three cats and they're like indoor outdoor cats and. And before you all come for us, we tried to make them be indoor cats. And these cats have figured out how to escape from the house. Robert came into our room, just not 15 minutes ago and stated that our cat Annie had we took away her normal. Escape route. She normally jumps on top of Roberts Arcade cabinet and then into the cabinet above our closet, and then shimmies up the air conditioning vent. Because, you know, she really wants to get outside. To the attic. But we moved to the video Gamer Cabinet video cabinet, anybody? Over the age of. Well, so we move that. So she just scaled the wall. Yeah, she just was like Spiderman and just dug 1 claw into another and just vertically straight vertically scale. I think she looked back at me like she surprised herself like she's plotting it. She's like, I don't know. But I'm gonna give it. We can give. It a A you know, a world. And then she was just up in the crawl space, looking down at me like. Man, I did it. Like there's literal cat claw. Like in the wall. I'm looking at. So, yeah. So we did really try to make these cats stay indoors. They just refused. But yeah, so both our neighbors are like, hey, we have a cat Annie who, like, runs wild and free. So anyway. And like she just, you know, hangs out with everybody. She comes with us when we walk our dog, she walks it. She walks with us around the block. She just, you know, we'll get pets from everybody. Well, apparently there was some, like, hipster. Dude, they they described him as a tall white guy. Thin, with short shorts on cowboy cowboy boots and a tank top. And I'm like this man came straight out of the Bywater to try to steal my cat. They said he just he like and he came over to him for some pets. He picked up Annie and just started walking down the street and Annie was like, screaming bloody murder, like trying to get away and our neighbor. That came out like what's going on and was like, you put that cat down right now like, because that's not your cat. That's the blocks cat. She is truly the blocks cat. I get sad about it sometimes cuz I did want her to be my cat. Which is why I adopted her. That you know the block needed her and she showed up, you know? She answered the call. It's insane. How's how's work going for you? Works good. We're finally staffed properly because they decided to give us. All of. A praise so. That's great. Yay. Yeah, that's crazy. You know, you get to like, you give people more money, they're more willing to. They want to do things. Work for you? But yeah, I can't really talk about my work just because HIPAA, but yeah. People are still struggling. It's pretty bad out there. Yeah, it's not. As bad as it could be, but it's. Did you see? I guess we'll just do like. We'll we'll eat our we'll take our eat our vegetables first before uhm. Our dessert, did you see in Tennessee, the governor has the Governor of Tennessee has signed a bill that's going to. Make drag shows illegal. Which I truly don't understand because Nashville is The Bachelorette capital of the world. From what I understand, and I don't understand how you can have a Bachelorette party without a drag brush. Yeah, I mean, I can't go back to Nashville now, but yeah, he's a trash bag for sure. But did you see on top of that, on top of all that pictures were dug up of him in high school at a powder puff football game? So funny and it's sad, but funny. So he is. He is in a dress. And literally like the reporter that confronted him with, it was like. Like it must be like 4 Chan news.com cause he literally said is this you this you? What do you got to say about this? And he was just like, oh, that was in good fun. Yeah, every drag brunch I've ever been to has been in good fun too, so I don't understand drag show. I know. I shouldn't just keep saying drag brunch. I'm just really basic. You just you just gotta have eggs with your. So that's mostly when I see drag. You gotta have eggs with your drag show. I'm either watching drag wrestling or I'm on drag brunch. There's truly no in between for me. And dry wrestling about two weeks ago, that was. Pretty good that. Was great. It was pretty nice. It was fantastic. But this is, you know, I not to be talked kind of light hearted about something so terrible. But you know. My mom has. Sometimes has asked me, you know, why I'm. I'm kind of down frequently and I don't really know how to explain to her that I have a really sick feeling in my stomach that. You know how similar the times are to the Weimar Republic and what came after the Weimar Republic is not something that. I particularly want to live through. Or have ever have happened. Again, again, again. Yeah, I'm not looking forward. To the the reboot of cabaret. Like, that's not a thing I want. To watch. And ironically, they probably wouldn't allow. Well, that's the whole point. That's the point of the original one, is it not? I've never seen it. I'm going to. Be honest with you. Honestly, I've never seen it either, but the premise makes me mad because I'm like, if you people were in the street instead of like, come to the cab or maybe. Y'all could have done something about this. We might be being really unduly harsh on characters of cabaret. Probably more likely. Please let us know but. I you know, the targeting of trans people and not that drag people drag Queens and kings are trans all the time, you know, but just targeting the because you actually look at the law, it does ban trans people from performing anything. Because it's specific to, I think it says the language is something like performing in the cultural makeup, including dress accessories. You know, style all of that of the a person who's the opposite of the gender you were assigned at birth. So essentially it's not drag, it's it's trans people doing anything in front of other people ever. And that's really scary. That is really scary. You know, it's it's the cliche. At this point, but the reason the reason? It gets said so much is because it's true. It's, you know, they. Came for the communists and and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist. They came for the Jews. I didn't speak up. I wasn't a Jew. They came for the Catholics. I I am Catholic. But you know what I'm talking about. And it's just. I just. I don't really. Know what to do with my feelings about it. To be honest. Because, because again, like it's so stupid. Like it's so stupid that you it's almost as if you don't want to take it seriously because they're just so outlandish and buffoonish. But, you know, even, and that's part of that's part of the poison of it. Is that they are so goofy and so hypocritical and so out of control that it almost becomes not real, which I think is something that happened a lot during the Trump administration. So, you know, I don't, I don't know what to do. So just to get. To get the full scope of this, I'll read this is from cnn.com because you you're saying how bands, all performances and I can't remember. I I'm sure I've read this already, but I just can't remember this specifics. It's like my brain wanted to block them out. So let's see CNN politics by Shawna Mizzell March 2nd. 2023 Tennes
