I saw One and they're kind ofobscure, like Somebody Somewhere
.
Have you ever seen it?
Do you know what it is?

Speaker 3 (03:17):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
So it's got three seasons.
It's over now.
I think it's on HBO.
It is such a good show.
It's um a lady midlife notreally going anywhere.
Bitchy sister um makes friends.
I was gonna make a comment, butI just I know what it was, um,

(03:41):
but her, the guy who becomes herbest friend in real life.
His name's Tiller and he wonthe Emmy for the show and he's
just so good in that show andit's a lot of LGBTQ plus support
.
She befriends him and then goesto this church that they all

(04:02):
attend in the evenings and theydo music and poetry and stuff
and she makes friends throughall of that and it's a really,
really good show.
It gets you in your feels.
I don't want to be in my feels.
And then the other one I reallyloved that did really well was
Adolescence Did you watch thatone?

Speaker 3 (04:20):
No, that's why I didn't watch it.
I mean, I haven't watched anyTV at all.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Adolescence, you watch that one.
No, that's the.
That's why I didn't watch theemmys I haven't watched any tv
at all who?
Adolescence is a tough one.
It is dark, yeah, a little boyhe's like 10 or 11, I think in
the show is accused of murderinga female classmate.
Um, I got goosebumps justthinking about it.
It is excellent.
I'm really glad that they won.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Did you watch the documentary Wrong Number, the
one that was on Netflix thateverybody's been talking about?
I did watch that.
What's it about?
The girl gets bullied on textthrough text messages.
Yes, wow.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Wow, holy moly.
Like part of the way throughthat documentary you kind of
figure it out but you're justlike no, no way, there's no
fucking way.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
It's been on one of my true crime shows, I know, so
I knew immediately.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
When they first started, I was like oh, I know I
know this one but yeah, holyshit, yeah that bitch, she just
looks crazy and she's stillcrazy, like she takes absolutely
no responsibility for it andher poor daughter is all screwed
up now she's like I need my mom, like I want my mom I know like
that poor dad must.
Can you imagine?

Speaker 3 (05:29):
it's got to be munchausen's right oh yeah, for
sure, for sure, definitely.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
But wow, that was awful and the stuff she was
texting texting her graphic andgross I just I don't, I don't
know yeah, I went crazy.
Yeah, I actually watched areally good documentary last
night too.
It was from 2021, but I wasscrolling through um facebook
and it was like one of thoselike consequence or you know,

(05:59):
one of those random things thatput stuff up and it was like
this show, this documentary,left viewers, so you know,
traumatized and blah blah.
I was like, ooh, what is it?
So I found it and it was from2021 and it took place in 2017
and it's in India and a familyof 11 is found dead in their

(06:23):
house.
Wow, like from grandparents,parents, teenagers, uncles, and
they're all hung in the house.
So it's three episodes.
Crazy.
I highly suggest it.
It was amazing, yeah.
Yeah, if you're into that kindof thing, it was called House of

(06:44):
Secrets, the Badarati Deaths,or something like that.
I'll have to check it out.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
Yeah.
Really really good If you'reinto the true crime.
I feel like most women are intothe true crime.
It's because we all fantasizeabout it Shh I don't talk about
that.
About it Shh.
Don't talk about that.
You know they all say it's well, because we have to be prepared
, because you know, most of thetime it is women getting killed.

(07:14):
But that's not why we do it.
We're learning Watch out.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yeah, but besides that, I think my week was pretty
uneventful.
I went to my daughter andson-in-law's on Sunday to watch
the Eagles game.
Thank God they won.
It was very stressful.
Oh, 2-0.
Mm-hmm, yeah, thank you toTaylor Swift's fiance for giving
us the ball Turning point ofthe game.

(07:41):
Yeah, that's his name, now who?

Speaker 3 (07:44):
do you think is going to do the halftime show?
They should be releasing it anytime now.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
I know, I definitely don't think it's Taylor Swift.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
I don't think it's Taylor Swift either.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
They keep rumoring that but it doesn't make any
sense.
Firstly, if Travis was in theSuper Bowl, she'd want to be
there to support him, notworrying about doing a show.
She's got a new album come out,which means she has a tour
coming out.
She's got a wedding to plan.
I mean, she's almost too big todo, too big right now.
Like there have been big names,like Prince did it, but Prince

(08:14):
was way past his prime when hedid it.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, I get it.
So I just think she's too hotright now and people like I
think something a little moreneutral yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
I think she would be too divisive, yeah, because we
know they should bring Gaga back.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
That's what I said.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Hers was one of the best.
That's what I was telling myfriend and her National.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Anthem was one of the best I've ever seen too.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
I was telling my friend that, and he was like why
do I not remember the Lady Gagaand I was like I don't know.
That was one of the besthalftime shows I have ever seen.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Amazing.
Yeah, and you remember hernational anthem too?
Yes, it was amazing.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
It was right up there with Whitney's Holy moly.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, it was amazing.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know who it would be.
There's been a lot.
I hope it's not her, oh.
God I hope not, but she couldbe one.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
It could be like a medley.
I don't like when they do that.
I think they'll probably gocountry this year.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
I think they might too, because last year was
Kendrick.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
It's been a while or.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Kendrick.
My boss's name is Kendrick.
So, I'm conscious of the D andI'm usually trying not to say it
.
And then the year before wasFetty and Mary J and all them
right yeah.
Okay.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
I think it's been a while since they've had a
country.
Yeah, so I think they're goingto go country this year.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
That'll give me plenty of time to do something
else then, while I wait for thegame to come back, on Puppy Bowl
it is.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Maybe it'll be Trent Reznor.
Ooh, I know, maybe it should beTrent Reznor and Rob Zombie.
Yeah, I mean Marilyn Manson.
Come on, just do it.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
I think that would actually be pretty popular.
Yeah, but you're probably right, it's going to be country.
I think it's going to becountry, but I don't know.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Yeah, but you're probably right, it's going to be
country I think it's going tobe country, but I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, I'm surprised they haven't announced it yet.
I know.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
I Googled it the other day because I was like why
have they?
Not said, and it's usually likethe end of September, beginning
of October, that they announceit.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Because I thought the same thing.
I was like why have they notannounced it yet?
But usually yeah, so maybe nextweek, this time next week, we
can talk about it.
Watch it come out like rightnow.
Watch it's coming out right nowso that when this airs,
everybody's going to be likeyou're idiots, yeah, duh.
Anyway, let's get into it.

Speaker 2 (10:41):

Oh God, wait first, let me boopFirst, let me go back Because
of this last week or so, Idecided that this is what I was
going to do.
So let's fuck around and findout about women breaking

(13:16):
barriers.
Oh, we need this.
Yeah, I love it.
So what I did and I didn't gointo like in depth on all these
women, I'm just going to listsome women and then we can talk
about it.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Okay, I love it.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
This one I did talk about, though.
On September 20th 1973, billieJean King beat Bobby Riggs,
winning $100,000, which is$700,000 in today's money in
what was dubbed the Battle ofthe Sexes.
The match garnered hugepublicity in front of 30,000
spectators and a televisionaudience estimated at 50 million

(13:53):
people in the US and 90 millionin 37 countries.
29-year-old King beat the55-year-old Riggs.
The match is considered asignificant event in developing
greater recognition and respectfor women's tennis.
King said to author andphotographer Lynn Gilbert in her
book Particular Passions Talkswith Women who have Shaped Our

(14:15):
Times.
I thought it would set us back50 years if I didn't win that
match.
It would ruin the women's tourand affect all women's
self-esteem.
And that to beat a 55 yearoldguy was no thrill for me.
The thrill was exposing a lotof new people to tennis.
Riggs had been a top men'splayer in the 30s and 40s in
both the amateur andprofessional ranks.

(14:37):
He won the Wimbledon men'ssingle title in 1939 and was
considered the world's numberone male tennis player for 41,
46, and 47.
He then became a self-describedtennis hustler who played in
promotional challenge matches,claiming the women's game was so
inferior to the men's game thateven a 55-year-old like himself

(14:58):
could beat the current topfemale players.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
This is just.
I'm already mad, like we justgot started.
And why didn't they put heragainst a 29 year old man?
Like why does it have to be a55 year old man?

Speaker 3 (15:14):
well, I, he had challenged her before and she
they had been trying to set thisup and she kept um turning it
down.
But she because it was superawkward.
But well, because he had saidthat he could beat anybody, even
at 55.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
So that's why yeah, and I'll bet that prize pool was
so high because they neverthought in a million years that
the girl would win.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Yeah, so they wanted to pay men's prices um billy
jean king went on to win 39grand slam titles 12 and single,
16 in women's doubles and 11and mixed doubles.
Um she is an advocate of genderequality and has long been a
pioneer for equality and socialjustice.
She was the founder of thewomen's tennis association and

(15:59):
the women's sports foundation.
She was instrumental inpersuading cigarette brand
Virginia Slim to sponsor women'stennis in the 70s.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Man, that was my shit in college, remember, I do.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
Virginia Slim's ultralight.
They were like a straw.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
They really were.
I thought I looked so coolsmoking those things.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
Virginia Slim's ultralight menthols?
I definitely think you can'tget cancer from those.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
I don't think there's enough in them.
No, they weren't 120s.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
What were they?
They were more than 120s.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Culture Slims.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Yeah, but they were like a straw, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Yeah, they were the girliestcigarettes ever.
They were.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
I loved them.
They don't make them anymore,do they?
No, I think they do.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Oh okay.

Fame in 1987.

Illustrated Sportsman of theYear Award and was one of the
Times Persons of the Year in1975.
She has also received thePresidential Medal of Freedom
and the Sunday Times Sportswomanof the Year Lifetime

She was inducted into theNational Women's Hall of Fame in

(17:12):
1990, and in 2006, the USTANational Tennis Center in New

in her honor.

(17:32):
In 2022, she was awarded theFrench Legion of Honor and in
2024, she received theCongressional Gold.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
What an amazing legacy and good for all the
powers that be that made sure togive her all the recognition
that she deserved, because wow.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah, so that's what got me thinking of it, because
September 20th is like the endof this week.
So I saw that and I was like,oh, and then I was mad this week
.
So girl power and I'm notallowed to talk about it, no, no
, no Girl power, and I'm notallowed to talk about it.
Nope, nope, nope.
Danica Sue Patrick is anAmerican former professional

(18:09):
racing driver and model whocompeted in the IndyCar Series
from 2005 to 2011 and the NASCARCup Series from 2012 to 2018.
She is the most successfulwoman in the history of American
open wheel car racing.
Her victory in the 2008 IndyJapan 300 is the only win by a

(18:29):
woman in IndyCar.
She was named the Rookie of theYear for both the 2005

finishing eighth.
She became the highestfinishing woman in national

(18:51):
NASCAR history at Las Vegas whenshe surpassed Sarah Christian's
62-year record to place fourthin the Sam's Town 300 race.
So that's Danica.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yeah, and then she ruined it all by dating Aaron
Rodgers.
I forgot about that.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
I totally forgot about that.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Nothing will ruin your reputation like dating
Aaron Rodgers.
I totally forgot about that, atleast in my eyes.
Poor.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Screw Aaron Rodgers.
I love me.
I used to love.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
Sam Aaron.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Rodgers, you did he's baddie, though, although I do
feel bad sometimes.
I wonder if he has that CTE.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah, oh, they all fucking do.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah, because I just think maybe his didn't go
violent, maybe it just went nuts.
Yeah, because he's out there.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
He is out there.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
And he needs to retire.
It's just sad to watch him playnow.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
I don't know why they do this.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
I think it's arrogance.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
I think it's arrogance.
I think you just can't bear thethought of people not seeing
you every Sunday.
You will get hired by anynetwork anytime.
He said some pretty crazy stuff.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
I don't know about that.
He even got kicked off that oneguy show he could go join
Number After Three and they canhave a.
They can steal money fromcharities.
Everybody hates us Send dickpics to women that don't want
them.
Yeah, exactly, it'll be a goodparty.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
I will not be tuning in for that, no, never.
So this one's going to be hardfor me to say.
Svetlana Savitskaya I meant toask how that was pronounced as a
Russian former aviator andSoviet cosmonaut who flew aboard
the Soyuz T-7 in 1982, becomingthe second woman in space On

(20:32):
her 1984 Soyuz T-12 mission.
She became the first woman tofly to space twice and the first
woman to perform a spacewalk in1979.
She participated in theselection process for the second
group of female cosmonauts InJune of 80, she was officially
admitted to the cosmonaut group.

(20:53):
Of the nine women selected, shewas the only test pilot.
The group's training wasannounced during French Air
Force officer and astronautJean-Louis Christian's space
mission.
She passed her exams in 1982.
February 1982 and she preparedfor her first flight, a

(21:17):
short-term flight to the spacestation.
She held the position ofresearch cosmonaut on the
mission, the mission of thesecond visiting expedition of
the salyot 7.
See.
all this is russian to prove therussians russians really are
the hardened, hardest languageto figure out to prove the the
Soviet superiority to America byflying another woman into space

(21:40):
and to replace the Soyuz T-5spacecraft, which the crew would
use for their return, with anew vehicle.
In December of 83, she wasassigned her second flight
including an extravehicularactivity or an EVA.
Three weeks after Americanastronaut Kathy Sullivan's
flight, An EVA assignment weremade public.
The timing of her mission wouldbecome one of her last triumphs

(22:03):
to further the Sovietpropaganda agenda in performing
the first woman's spacewalkahead of the Americans.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
It's so funny to me that the first was like so
important back then and noweverybody's just like we're
bored with it, except for crazyelon, yeah but lana was chosen
above other female cosmonautsdue to her extensive flight
experience and physical abilityto perform the necessary

(22:31):
operations in a heavy bulkyspace suit.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
For multiple hours she participated in this flight
as the flight engineer.
Uh, then that was to bring injuly of 84 she launched above
soya's t12 together withcommander vladimir yep and

(22:54):
research cosmonaut Igor Volk.
That one I got Gotcha.
Of the 57 Soviet Russianspacewalkers through 2010, she
is the only woman and as ofApril 2020, was still the only
woman well, the only SovietRussian woman to walk in space.
The return to Earth took placein 84.

(23:15):
Upon returning to Earth, shewas assigned as the commander of
an all-female Soyuz crew incommemoration of International
Women's Day.
It's so weird how the Russiansare so much more advanced in
this manner.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
International Women's Day happens to be the same day
as my birthday.
Yes, it is.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
She was chosen for this duty because she was the
only experienced femalecosmonaut still on active duty
at the time.
In 85, radio contact withSalyut 7 was lost.
The space station was rescuedby the Salyut T-13 mission in
the summer of 85, and the nextmission had to be stopped in

(23:55):
November of 85 due to an illnessof commander vladimir yeah the
woman's flight was finallycanceled.
In addition, after twounsuccessful flights in 83 um,
they didn't have enoughspacecrafts, oh oh.
Then they started space stationmirror, which has also come
down and then.
But she couldn't go up becauseshe was pregnant in 86 and the

(24:19):
birth of her son.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Did I ever tell you that my father-in-law used to
work at ILC making thespacesuits for NASA?

Speaker 3 (24:25):
No.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
He did.
That's nice.
There are pictures of him inspacesuits Yep that was all made
here, right.
Yeah.
What is it?
They did a story on it likeoutside of dover.
I've driven past it.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
Maybe it's milford they did a story on it not that
long ago.
I don't remember where or when,I think it's still yeah, up and
running.
I think so too.
Sally ride was an Americanastronaut and physicist.
I can't put the Russians inthere and not put the Americans
in there.
Exactly, she joined NASA in1978 and in 93 she became the

(25:05):
first American woman and thethird woman to fly in space.
In 60 she was the youngestAmerican astronaut to have flown
in space, having done so at theage of 32.
She was selected as a missionspecialist astronaut with NASA
Astronaut Group 8, the firstclass of NASA astronauts to
include women.
After completing her training,she served as the ground-based

(25:26):
capsule communicator, capcom,for the second and third space
shuttle flights and helpeddevelop the space shuttle's
robotic arm.
See, I couldn't remember if Ihad talked too much about her,
and I think I did in the episodethat we did about the space
shuttle.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Shuttle Hubble Toil.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
Trouble.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah, we did talk about her then, but she's a rock
star, so we'll talk about heragain.
But she's a rock star, so we'lltalk about her again.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
Yeah, she.
In June of 83, she flew inspace on the Space Shuttle
Challenger on the STS-7 mission.
The mission deployed twocommunication satellites and the
first shuttle Pallet Satellite.
She operated the robotic arm todeploy and retrieve SPS-1.
Her second spaceflight was theSTS-41G mission mission in 84,

(26:17):
also on board the challenger.
She spent a total of more than343 hours in space.
She did leave nasa in 1987.
As the first american woman tofly in space, she was subjected
to media attention there wereover 500 requests for private
interviews, all of which weredeclined.
Instead, nas, nasa hosted theusual pre-launch press

(26:39):
conference and she was askedthis is why I included this part
Just brace yourself for thisone, oh God, yeah.
She was asked questions such aswill the flight affect your
reproductive organs?
As, will the flight affect yourreproductive organs, and do you

(27:02):
weep when?

Speaker 2 (27:02):
things go wrong on the job.
Wow, does it affect men'sreproductive organs?
Did?

Speaker 3 (27:06):
anybody ask that.
She insisted that she sawherself in only one way as an
astronaut, but NASA was stilladjusting.
This is part two.
Funny part two NASA was stilladjusting to female astronauts,
and engineers had asked Ride toassist them in developing a
space makeup kit, assuming itwould be something a woman would

(27:29):
want on board.
Wow, they also infamouslysuggested providing Ride with a
supply of 100 tampons for thesix-day mission.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
She must have been a heavy bleeder.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
From the mid-90s until her death, Ride led two
public outreach programs forNASA.
They allow middle schoolstudents to request images of
the earth and the moon.
She bought a house in La Jolla,California.
She turned down offers fromPresident Clinton to become NASA

(28:03):
administrator, not wanting toleave California but agreed to
serve as the president'scommittee of advisors in science
technology.
That involved flying to DCevery few months for studies and
presentations.
That involved flying to DCevery few months for studies and
presentations.
Clinton appointed her to a PCASTpanel chaired by John Holdren
to assess the risk of fissilematerials being acquired in the

(28:26):
former Soviet Union byterrorists and the chaos
following its breakup.
From September 1999 to July2000, she was the president of
the Space News website, spacecom, a company that aggregated news
about science and space on itswebsite.
She then became the presidentand CEO of Sally Ride Science, a
company she founded with herpartner, who served as the chief

(28:49):
executive officer and chair ofthe board.
She also served in 2003.
She served on the columbiaaccident investigation board and
was the only person to serve onboth the panel that
investigated the challengerdisaster and that that
investigated the columbia deathdisaster yeah, I just can't get

(29:12):
past the hundred tampons and 60s.
I can't get past the makeup kit.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Are men really that oblivious Although?
I yeah, I'm not even going tosay it Anyway, but this just
reminded me too.
Not related, except that it'sspacey.
Did you see this week the videoof the US trying to shoot down
an unidentified object?

(29:37):
And it just bounced off of itand the thing took off.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Oh, no it didn't.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
The missile bounced off it and whatever the so
nobody has said that it wasaliens, but I'm sure that it I
think.
I don't think that the Earthhas anything that would sustain
a direct missile hit.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
I think that they have decided to end the
experiment.
That's what I think ishappening.
I think that we, as theexperiment, have gone too far.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Yeah, and I think they're going to.
I think yep.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Did you see the meme I posted this week with Jesus
smoking a blunt and it saysflooded again.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
There are all these TikToks about asking atheist
questions Like, and this one waslike, just, and they're so very
aggressive.
It's like just give me oneanswer when you do die, and if
God is real, what are you goingto say to him?
Like, why is that a question?
Like, okay, was he going tocome at me and be like bitch?
Why didn't you believe?

(30:47):
Well, a, if you're real, youmade free will.
Yeah, so what?

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that if there is a heaven and
actual God and Christianity andJesus, you and I are safe
Because we're actually goodpeople.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
A good life, exactly.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah, and we don't pretend to be something that
we're not.
But I also loved your meme thatyou might have to work in
heaven To work at the postoffice.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
The heaven's post office.
I will, or I'll be, makingomelets for everyone.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Oh, there's no, we definitely need to go to hell
for that.
Yeah, omelets in hell would beamazing, amazing yeah we're not
going to heaven, it's fine.

Speaker 3 (31:27):
But that's like they're very aggressive about it
too and it's like why is thatyour question?
Like, who cares?
Who is this guy and why is hesuch a dick about everything?

Speaker 2 (31:38):
calm down, because he's created by humans.
That's why he's a dick abouteverything.
That's true.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
Just a quick shout out to one of our favorite
sponsors, old glory.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
If your wardrobe is 40 pop culture references and 60
emotional baggage, they've gotyou covered they've got b
banties, horror, merch, feministicons, retro cartoons Basically
everything you wish you stillhad from your high school closet
, but now in adult sizes, andemotional stability.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
Use code like whatever for 15% off at
oldglorycom, because nostalgiashould be wearable and slightly
ironic.
Okay, this one is going to be afun fact for you, the whole
thing.
Oh, it's the summer of 70, 1970.
Okay, steve palencast had justgotten back from serving in the

(32:27):
army in germany and thought he'dpursue his dreams of playing
professional football.
Kicker tryouts for orlando'sminor league team, the Orlando
Panthers, didn't go well.
Then he immediately realizedwhat he was missing.
I told them let me do it again.
Let me bring my holder, becausewhen I practice I always use my
wife, Pat.

(32:48):
He made the team, but thatwasn't all.
The coach signed Pat too, andshe was the one who would go on
to have the better known careerin the sport.
That's amazing.
On august 15th 1970 she becameforever known as the first woman
to play in a professionalfootball game when she held the
ball for him during his extrapoint attempt at an exhibition

(33:11):
game against the bridgeport jets.
Pat also means point aftertouchdown, and that's what I was
trying to make with my husband.
She said the locker room willnever be the same.
Life magazine declared in anAugust 28, 1970 spread featuring
a picture of the 27-year-old,122-pound blonde being knocked

(33:32):
down by the 235-pound jetlinebacker Wally Florence,
quoted as as saying I tried tobreak her neck.
She's out here prancing aroundmaking folly with a man's game I
bet she loved getting hit shesaid like bring it, bitch.
I still look at that and go ouchshe.

(33:53):
She also noted a very specificreason for the mishap.
She had been so nervous thatsomeone had recommended she take
a tranquilizer, something shehad never done before.
Oh, that was a bad idea.
I go out there and the firstthing out of my mouth was are
you ready, honey?
Someone said you'll never hearthose words in football again.
Unfortunately, the ball wasthrown to me from the center and

(34:14):
I bobbled the ball and wallyjust came in and smashed me.
But I got up and I stretched alittle bit and I was fine.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Yeah, because she was on tranquilizers.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
And every conversation after that was
successful.
I blame it on the tranquilizer.
Maybe that's why I was so loose.
The Panthers would end upwinning the game 26 to 7 and Pat
was invited to appear on WalterCronkite's CBS Evening News,
the Merv Griffith Show what's myLine To Tell the Truth, and a
local radio station show, nice,where she'd call in and give NFL

(34:43):
predictions.
We also interviewed with HowardCosell.
That was the first year thatMonday Night Football came out
and all the people were afraidthat women weren't going to
watch Monday Night Football.
The couple wouldn't play thesport for much longer.
Steve only played two moregames before injuring his thigh
and Pat would only play a fewmore before deciding it wasn't

(35:03):
as much fun holding the ball forsomeone else.
He'd go on to be a salesman andshe an elementary school
teacher.
She has fond memories of herprivate locker room aka the
closet and teammates who gaveher a lot of taps on the butt.
Nowadays the retired coupleroots for the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers and play football inthe front yard of their

(35:26):
Clearwater Florida home.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
I hope she tapped a lot of butts too.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
And they have two grandkids, six and ten Aw.
Sometimes she still gets fanmail and letters.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
That is so sweet.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
I had no idea.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Yeah, I never heard of that when you hear about
women breaking the glass ceilingin the NFL.
Now, whether it's roughing orcoaching, you would think that
would come up.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
You would think, yeah , I mean, it was minor league,
but still it was perfect.
Yeah, next up, sandra DayO'connor was an american
attorney, politician and juristwho served as an associate
justice of the supreme court ofthe united states from 1981 to
2006.
Nominated by reagan, o'connorwas the first woman to serve as

(36:12):
a us supreme court justice.
A moderate conservative, shewas considered a swing vote Upon
her nomination to the court,o'connor was confirmed
unanimously by the United StatesSenate.
During her term on the court,she was regarded as among the
most powerful women in the world.
In 2009, she was awarded thePresidential Medal of Freedom by
Obama.
She presided over Bush v Gorein 2000.

(36:39):
I don't know if any of youremember some hanging chads.
She joined with four otherjustices on December 12, 2000 to
rule on the Bush v Gore casethat ceased challenges to the
result of the 2000 presidentialelection.
This case effectively ended AlGore's hopes to become president

(36:59):
.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
I'm kind of glad Al Gore never won president.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
I mean he invented the internet.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
At the time.
I mean, at the time I was like,yeah, but he's a little nutty,
yeah.
And have you ever seen theSouth?
I know you don't watch SouthPark, but have you ever seen him
?
They do an episode with himfrom way back then and he's all
about the environment and I'mcereal, I'm cereal Every time.

(37:27):
Nobody will take him seriously.
I'm cereal, it's so funny.
But he is kind of alaughingstock.
I don't think he would haverepresented the country very
well, he's too, he's too, he'stoo.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
Yeah, ruth Bader Ginsburg, who became the second
female Supreme Court justice,described O'Connor as a
trailblazer.
The two worked together forover a decade and built a
relationship of mutual respect,with Ginsburg noting that having
O'Connor on the court made herfeel a sense of relief at no
longer being the only womanthere.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
It really just blows my mind that the Senate voted
unanimously for her.
It was probably a Republican.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
Senate at the time, but still, and the Democrats
just wanted a woman in there.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Yeah, but it's just inconceivable in this day and
time that the government wouldcome together for anything.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
Anything.
It's inconceivable at thismoment that we could be on the
same page for anything everagain.
Yeah, I mean.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
That's why the aliens need to just it, just keeps
getting worse and worse andworse.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
The division keeps getting worse and worse.
There's like it's bad.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
Yeah, exactly, people are becoming more and more
extreme, and sometimes it's evenhard in my own head to not do
it, because you just you're likethat's so ridiculous that you
would say that, and then thatmakes me kind of go too far
sometimes, and so I mean I feellike it's a natural thing.
And so I mean I feel like it'sa natural thing, like it's hard

(38:55):
to not.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
It's hard to not counter the total ridiculousness
with your like.
The total opposite of that itis hard.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
Yeah, I mean, I would like to comprehend, but I don't
even know that people even knowwhat they're fighting about
anymore.
It's just you're wrong,instantly.
Boom, that's it.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
There's no listening.
There's no changing anybody'smind.
That's the problem, right?
That's the problem.
Yeah, in 2018, betty White wasrecognized by Guinness World
Records as the femaleentertainer with the longest
television career, which, at thetime, spanned nearly 80 years.
She's the cutest.
I know Just the cutest.
She died three years, which, atthe time, spanned nearly 80
years.

(39:35):
She's the cutest.
I know Just the cutest.
She died three years later, atthe age of 99.
She still retains this record.
This is hardly surprising,given that she'd been on
television nearly as long as themedium has existed.
She was among the first womenon TV, appearing on several
experimental broadcasts in the30s and in the early 50s.

(39:57):
She became one of the firstwomen to write, produce and star
in her own nationallysyndicated TV comedy.
Over the years, she playedbeloved characters like Sue Ann
Niven on the Mary Tyler MooreShow and Rose Nyland on the
Golden Girls.
But her big female firsthappened in 1983, when she
became the first woman to win aDaytime Emmy Award for
Outstanding Game Show Host.

(40:18):
Big female first happened in1983, when she became the first
woman to win a daytime Emmyaward for outstanding game show
host for NBC's celebrity panelgame show, just men.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
I don't remember that .

Speaker 3 (40:25):
I don't either, but she won an Emmy for it.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
I've been catching golden girls here and there.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
I need to go back and do it.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
It's one of those when I catch it I'm like, oh,
I'll leave this on and watch it,and I laugh so hard the whole
time, but then I just don'tthink to watch it.
It's really fucking funny.
Yeah, like really funny.
I need to go back and do it.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
Yeah, we really need to do a second podcast where we
do a rewatch.
We need to pick a show and do arewatch.
Oh my God, there's so many itwe'll figure it out.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
Stay tuned, kids you've been talking about that
for a while.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
I'm saying we should do it.
We don't have to meet in personfor to do it how?

Speaker 2 (41:01):
what do we put it up on the screen and then sit there
and talk about it like no youwatch it and then I watch it.

Speaker 3 (41:06):
We watch it separately and then we come back
and like we take notes throughit and then we talk about it.
The episode.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
We don't run the episode now.
We're talking about it.
You can't.
That's against the rules.
You have to pay for it yeah,see, that's why you're the
business and it's a deal,something like that.
I don't know who put me incharge of that, but I just show
up and bring crappy scriptsevery now and then and drink
wine.
That's my role.
Uh, oprah winfrey was the firstwoman to own and produce a talk

(41:31):
show.
She wasn't comfortable in herrole as a tv news anchor woman
and her empathy with herinterviews.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
Oprah Winfrey was the first woman to own and produce
a talk show.
She wasn't comfortable in herrole as a TV news anchor woman
and her empathy with herinterviews earned her criticism
rather than accolades from herbosses.
But this iconic failure led toher being hired as the host of a
morning talk show in Chicago in1984.
Within a year the networkrenamed the program the Oprah

(41:55):
Winfrey Show and within twoyears the show entered national
syndication.
Almost immediately it becamethe highest rated talk show in
television history.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
Oprah Winfrey is.
I mean, I don't care.
I know that she has controversyaround her every now and again,
but she can do no wrong in myeyes.
She's.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
Are you going to crush that for me?
Nope, I'm not crushing anybody.
The same year, winfrey becamethe first black woman in the
american entertainment industryto establish and own a
production company, harpostudios.
In 1988, harpo acquired theoprah winfrey show, making
winfrey the first woman to ownand produce her own talk show.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
I mean it's just unbelievable.
And what she comes from?
She was a poor black girl InBaltimore, right?
No connections, no money, nonepotism, no, nothing.
I also am a huge fan of GayleKing, but Gayle King grew up
pretty comfy, yeah, but GailKing grew up pretty comfy.
Luckily, she has the look andthe personality and the talent

(43:02):
to do what she does.
I think she's amazing as well.
But Oprah man, she can do andsay whatever the fuck she wants.
I don't care.
You literally are the Americandream.
She is.
I mean, that's it.
Yeah, and she's done good.
Yeah.
And it's funny because when youread where people are trying to
criticize her like I saw anarticle just a few weeks ago and

(43:25):
they were talking about, um,what it was really like for you
get a car and you get a car,yeah, um.
And they kind of like just slidpast the fact that Oprah had
lawyers there that made sure allthe taxes got paid, that like
people left there owning thatcar free and clear, not owing
anything on it, but then theyhad to put in there that she

(43:46):
said something about like youmay feel like you don't deserve
this and you don't and I'm sureit's taken out of context, you
know, but there's just trying toget digs at her Yep, when all
she was doing was just being anawesome person and sharing her
wealth.
If it was through gifts, sowhat?

Speaker 3 (44:04):
I will never understand trying to bring
people down for doing good.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
Yeah, especially women on women.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
Women on women is the worst.
The worst Like do better girlsExactly, do better girls Exactly
, do better sis.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Yeah, if you're jealous that someone is being a
better woman than you, then stepup and do better.

Speaker 3 (44:22):
The meme is fix her crown, fix somebody else's crown
, don't step on the ball gown.
Exactly, exactly In 2016,.
Hillary Rodham Clinton, formerFirst Lady, senator and
Secretary of State, wasnominated by the Democratic
Party as the presidentialcandidate, the first woman from

(44:43):
a major party ever to achievethis feat.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
Your voice is oozing in sarcasm.
And I do love Hillary Clintontoo.
I know that we have talkedabout her a lot and there's no
reason she should have runbecause most people don't like
her, they hate her.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
It was a horrible mistake to run her.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
It was.
I'm sorry, it was.
I do like Hillary, I think youknow, whatever, they all have
done something wrong isincredibly smart and incredibly
talented and powerful, but Ireally think what ruined her is
that her husband got a blow jobfrom another girl and the whole

(45:24):
world found out about it.
And if you think these rich,famous men are not cheating on
their wives and I'm not sayingthey all do, but I would be
willing to bet 80% or higher areyeah Well then that's a flaw in
you.
If you believe that and thewhole thing of.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
It is a shame because I have no doubt in my mind that
that Clinton marriage is amarriage that they both is a
business deal.
Yes, that is a business deal,and she knew the whole time she
probably had something going onthe side and she just he just
got caught doing it.
Yeah, exactly, I mean youshouldn't do it to interns.
Let me roll that back.
It was a bad look.
Yeah, bill, yeah, yeah, yeah,release the Epstein files Anyhow

(46:12):
.
Clinton holds the distinctionof being the first woman to win
the popular vote in an Americanpresidential election.
Clinton, however, clinton wasnot, however, the first woman to
run for president of the UnitedStates.
That distinction goes toVictoria Woodhull, who ran
unsuccessfully in 1872 as amember of the Equal Rights Party
, and that's only one reasonWoodhull made history.

(46:33):
She was also the first woman toown a brokerage firm on Wall
Street.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
Wow, I don't think I know her either.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
The first woman to start a weekly newspaper and a
prominent activist for women'srights and labor reforms.
I didn't go too far back intohistory just because I figured
we better keep it like in ourlifetime and I'm terrible with
american history yeah, andthere's like a lot of women that
you know.
Of course you got madam curieand yeah, but so I tried to
stick to like our time, um, butmy thought on Hillary Clinton

(47:04):
the stakes were too high.
Everybody hated Clinton fortheir own reasons, whatever the
reasons, they just hated her.
And I think had they literallyrun anybody else against Trump
the first time, they would havewon.
And I get it, joe Biden didn'twant to run, but had they run

(47:28):
Joe Biden, we would be in awhole different world.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
And I question if Joe Biden didn't want to run or if
they were like can you just stepaside?

Speaker 3 (47:37):
Because his son died right before that.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
Yeah, but he also promised his son he would be
president one day.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
And he did Goddamn.
I love Joe Biden.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
I love him.
And he announced, not that wedidn't already know, but the
presidential library will be inDelaware.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
Yeah, I figured Up there.
Oh, I figured it was eithergoing to be up there or down
here.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
I feel like I read Rehoboth.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
Where are they going to put it?

Speaker 2 (48:07):
There is no room.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
They'll probably tear down some classic historical
building that we've known andloved our whole lives, boo
They'll tear down his house andput it.
I mean, I guess they should putit in Dover, to be honest,
because that's right in thesquare, in the middle of the
state.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
And it is the capital .

Speaker 3 (48:18):
But he does have to.
Who knows?

Speaker 2 (48:20):
I don't know where they're going to put it, but
Kent County's never been histhing.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
No he does not.
Anyway, I think that we wouldbe living in a whole obviously
Better, yeah, obviously, forwhatever reason, this country is
not ready for a woman.
They voted for a black man overa white woman, and that should

(48:44):
tell you everything, becausethis country is hella racist,
but apparently they're hellamore misogynistic than racist.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
And we proved it.
Trump ran against a woman andhe won.
Trump ran against a man and helost.
Trump ran against a woman andhe won.
There you go.
It's called science and data,folks.
A lot of us have forgottenabout that as well.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
I love Kamala.
It was another mistake.
It was the stakes.
Obviously, we're nine months inand the stakes were too high,
too high.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
I'm sorry, god, I really would have loved to have
had Kamala as the president.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
I mean I'd love her.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
God.
I really would have loved tohave had Kamala as a president.
I mean, I'd love her and Ithink it broke her.
I don't think she'll ever runagain.

Speaker 3 (49:26):
I don't think she will either.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
She won't even run for governor.
I don't blame her.
Remember when your biggestdecision was which Lisa Frank
folder to bring to homeroom?

The difficult move, whichpreviously had been done only by
men, involves a series ofintense acrobatics, a round off
into the springboard, a backhandspring onto the vault table and
a piked double backflip to land.

gymnast.

Speaker 2 (51:10):

Nice.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
Once more she's like Tiger tie your woods.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:03):
Once more, harris broke another barrier in
November 2021, when she tookover as US president.
For 85 minutes, the presidencypassed to her while President
Joe Biden underwent a medicalprocedure that required
anesthesia.
I totally forgot about that.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
I did too, but I just think that's the coolest thing.
Oh no, and she can say she waspresident.

Speaker 3 (52:24):
She can say she was president for 85 minutes.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
I'd wear it on my license plate, on my car I was
president for 85 minutes bitch.

Speaker 3 (52:31):
How long were you president?
That's right, None.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
None minutes.

Speaker 3 (52:37):
Zero minutes, zero seconds.
Susan B Anthony, the firstwoman in America depicted on a
US coin.
She was a powerhouse oftemperance.
Oh see, she's before our timetoo.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
She is, but we all know who she is.

Speaker 3 (52:53):
She's on her coins.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
She's like the one female we learned about in
American history.
We learned Betsy Rolfe Becauseshe could sew.

Speaker 3 (53:09):
Powerhouse of temperance.
Abolition that word does youknow how you're looking at a
word and you're like what thefuck is that word?
That just happened to meabolition, labor rights and
equal pay crusades.
She lit up the women's suffragemovement, partnering with
fellow activist elizabeth caddystanton to travel and champion
women's right to vote.
But Anthony Susan B Anthonywasn't just a trailblazer in
active activism in 1979.

(53:31):
Thanks to President JimmyCarter, oh, Jimmy's back.
And Susan B Anthony dollar coinact.
She became the first woman tohave her face grace a
circulating US coin.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
Pretty sure Jimmy Carter's the only one who could
have gotten away with doing that.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (53:53):
Patricia Robert Harris began breaking barriers
at a young age.
In 1960, she not only aced herstudies at the George Washington
University Law School, but alsograduated at the top of her
class.
President John F Kennedy evenmade her co-chair of the
National Women's Committee forHuman Rights.
In 1965, Harris made history asthe first black woman named a

(54:15):
US ambassador to Luxembourg,appointed by Lyndon B Johnson.
Appointed by Lyndon B Johnson.
But after her diplomatictriumph, she became the first
black dean of a US law schoolwhen she joined the Howard
University faculty.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (54:28):
In the 70s, president Jimmy Carter made her secretary
of the Department of Housingand Urban Development.
This made her the first blackwoman to serve as a cabinet
secretary, and in 1980,presidentter named her the first
secretary of the newly revampeddepartment of health and human
services.
You know why?

Speaker 2 (54:48):
because she did not have a brain worm I was gonna
say I wonder if she did a betterjob than the one that we have
now.
Like just curious she also if ablack woman was actually
capable of doing somethingbetter than a white man with a
brain worm.
I really love the memes thatare like that drake one where
it's like um, um using needlesfor, um, uh, vaccines and he's

(55:15):
like no, using needles forheroin.
Yes, he's awful, he's fuckingnuts.
Yeah, he is.

Speaker 3 (55:27):
He cut the head off of a dead whale, strapped it to
the top of his car, drove ithome with the dead whale juices
dripping on his children.
That's fucking insane.
And the whole dead bear thingin central park.
It's just, he's fucking insane.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
And the whole dead bear thing in Central Park.
It's just he's fucking nuts, heis and it's.
I don't get it.
I was listening to NPR todayand they were talking to a
pediatric doctor and she saidshe is more and more seeing
parents refusing vaccines fortheir kids.
And she said the unfortunatething of it is they're going to

(56:02):
have to see the results of theirkids not getting vaccines
before they're going to listento science.
We're all going to have polioagain.
We are Disney World in Floridaand Florida is big on pushing no
vaccines.
Aye, aye, aye.

Speaker 3 (56:20):
You may have seen vanessa williams in some of your
favorite tv shows and movies.
You may remember her save thebest for last hit song, but she
was uh.
In 1983 she became the firstblack woman in the pageant's six
decadedecade history to win theMiss America title.

(56:43):
She conquered Miss New York,then she owned the stage in
Atlantic City, where the MissAmerica pageant had a history of
shutting out black contestants.
So Trump was in charge of itback then.
I can't say anything about himbecause I need to keep my job.
Sadly, williams had to give upher Miss America throne only 10

(57:05):
months after her win when nudeimages from a past photo shoot
were published without herconsent.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Of course they have to find something wrong with her
.
And, mind you, the first timeI'm not worried about my job.
The first time our presidentran, I had to see naked pictures
of Melania Trump all over theInternet that.
I did not need to see, no, butthere she was.

Speaker 3 (57:26):
There she was.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
Apparently, you can be the first lady, but not Miss
America.
You know what?

Speaker 3 (57:31):
I can't say.
Despite the storm, shegracefully stepped down from the
Miss America title and doveheadfirst into her passion for
music and acting.
So actually, probably it workedout better for her.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
Yeah, but that had to be devastating.

Speaker 3 (57:45):
I'm sure.
Just like oh my God, America,fucking grow up.
Just grow up Grow up of February1977, the legendary Helen Hayes

(58:05):
scored a Grammy for best spokenword recording for great
American documents, making herthe first female EGOT winner.
I don't know if you know thatthe EGOT stands for Emmy, Grammy
, Oscar and Tony.
I did.
I figured Well into her 70s,Hayes claimed the final piece,
earning the title of EGOT winnerand first lady of American
theater.

(58:26):
She began in 1905, at thetender age of five.
She soared to stardom in 1927with the play Coquette and 1932,
she won a Best Actress Oscarfor her Hollywood debut, the Sin
of Madeline Claudette.
A Tony victory in 1947 forHappy Birthday added to her

(58:48):
impressive collection, which sherounded out in 1953 when she
clinched a Best Actress Emmy fora TV appearance on Schlitz
Playhouse of Stars Very cool.
President Reagan awarded her thePresidential medal of freedom
in 1986 for her outstandingcontributions to the arts nice
though it's becomingincreasingly common for women to

(59:11):
be elected president of acountry other than our own,
someone had to be the first.
That accolade goes to iceland'sbig dis.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
Yeah, that's another god's here.
I am so sorry it's a lot ofconsonants and very few vowels.
Yeah, typically.

Speaker 3 (59:27):
Yeah, june 29, 1980, she became the first woman to be
democratically elected aspresident of any country.
After serving for 16 years, shealso became the longest serving
elected female head of state.
Although iceland has electedtwo female prime ministers,
since, she remains the onlywoman to have been president of
the country.
That's awesome, yes prettybadass this one I thought was

(59:50):
cool.
This is not our time, but I'mgonna do it anyway.
Okay, because it's my podcast,I'm gonna do whatever the fuck I
want.
Yeah, sarah breedloff was bornin in 1867 to parents who had
been enslaved.
This groundbreaking blackentrepreneur created a line of
hair care products formulatedfor black women dealing with
hair loss.
In 1906, she married Charles JWalker and began referring to

(01:00:12):
herself professionally as MadamCJ Walker.
In addition to creating hairproducts, she established
distribution centers to ensurethat her 3,000 door-to-door
salespeople, most of whom wereblack women, had plenty to sell,
and she founded a cosmetologyschool to train them.
She was the first woman tobecome a self-made millionaire
in the United States.

(01:00:33):
As Walker found financialsuccess, she became a well-known
philanthropist, fundingscholarships for women at the
tuskegee institute and donatingto social services for orson,
orphans, the elderly andmigrants wow it, just like her
and oprah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
Um, it's just amazing because the things that they
accomplished are hard enough.
As a white man, like they arevery hard things, yeah, to do.
Um, then, for a woman to do itis huge.
And then a black woman on topof it, especially these years
that you're talking about that.

(01:01:13):
They did it.
Like, how hard did you have towork to persevere past all the
obstacles?
Yep, I don't know that.
I the I don't want to saydriver motivation, but the
stamina, yeah, just it'sincredible that she created this

(01:01:34):
huge business with 3,000employees for a product that was
needed, that no one cared aboutexcept for black women.
So it's astonishing that sheeven got any sort of funding to
make her product.
Yeah, it's mind-blowing.

Speaker 3 (01:01:48):
It really is, and in the early 1900s.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
Yeah, that's what I mean, like she's the daughter of
slaves.
Yeah, crazy, insane, right yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:59):
We're just going to try and erase that whole thing
from there yeah, take it out ofthe museum, though, god forbid.
Should we know what happened inthis country?
In 1997, president bill clintonappointed madeline k albright
the 64th secretary of state ofthe united states.
The appointment made her thehighesting woman in the federal

(01:02:20):
government's history.

as the first black woman tohold a job.
She's a badass.
Five years later, hillaryRodham Clinton became the
nation's third female Secretaryof State.

another two and a half hour, butyou know what.

(01:02:42):
So what?
Just suck it up.

Speaker 2 (01:02:44):

Fellow lady.
Astronaut trainees, flats.

Speaker 3 (01:03:35):
Unofficially known as the Mercury 13, a nod to
Project Mercury, nasa's firsthuman space flight program.
Despite the fact that funk andother women perform better than
any of the men of projectmercury, including john glenn
shocker, president lyndon bjohnson ended the program in
1962, preferring the optics ofsending men to space at the

(01:03:58):
height of the Cold War.
Although she did not become thefirst woman to go to space, she
did briefly become the oldestperson to travel to space, doing
so on July 20th 2021, at theage of 82.

(01:04:18):
It's like a rule.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:04:20):

movement.

Cherokee Nation.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):

woman in 1969, predicting thatno woman would become prime
minister or foreign secretaryduring her lifetime.
It's kind of what we feel aboutour country time.

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):

Even if you're a star athlete.

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
yep, and she used it and her husband happens to be an
investor in it.
But why wouldn't you use yourworld famous wife as your
spokesperson?
Like, but everybody wants toattack her for it.

Speaker 3 (01:10:29):
Like again grow the fuck up For real.
Just don't worry about it.
Just worry about yourself.

(01:15:39):
Johnson, they made history in1971 when they established the
Street Transvestite ActionRevolutionaries or STAR,
America's first youth shelterfor trans youth.
After several more decades ofcampaigning, Rivera died in 2002
from complications related toliver cancer.
2002, from complicationsrelated to liver cancer.

(01:15:59):
13 years later, she became thefirst transgender person to have
their picture hung in theNational Portrait Galley in
Washington DC, and I'm willingto bet my whole self on it that
she no longer does.

Speaker 2 (01:16:13):
Yeah, I mean if they took it off the website.
Yeah, I mean the presidentprobably replaced her picture
with a picture of himself.
He did for Hillary Clinton Onthe first lady's wall.
Do you remember when he didthat a few months ago?

Speaker 3 (01:16:28):
Yeah, I can't keep up .
I just can't.
It's only been fucking ninemonths and I can't keep up.
All right, that's it.
That's my ladies, that's theladies that I did that was super
amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:16:45):
I had a ton more, but we would be here all day.
Thank you so much.
It's something that my soulneeded in this day and age.
It's scary, but anyway, youalso reminded me.
And if I could add one more,lady, 100%, just because, again,
mysteries at the Museum, I waswatching and this story, I was
just so intrigued by it.

(01:17:07):
So the first American shipcaptain was Mary Ann Brown
Patton.
She commanded the merchant shipNeptune's Car in 1856 when her
husband, who was the captain,fell ill with tuberculosis.
She had to navigate throughdangerous waters around Cape

(01:17:27):
Horn, which is an extremelydangerous place to drive through
While managing the mutinouscrew and bringing the ship to
San Francisco safely.
She was also pregnant at thetime san francisco safely.

(01:17:48):
She was also pregnant at thetime, um, and she became a
legend as a feat of courage andskill in maritime history,
though she received littleofficial, official recognition
at the time.
But she was just so badass andthe whole time I'm watching it
on mysteries in the museumthey'll show you, like um, an
item, and then that's the uh,what they talk about and so, and
then they do a reenactment.

(01:18:09):
But just watching it I was justlike that's so badass.
And you know why that worked?
Because women are solevel-headed, yes, and she was
able to say okay, my husband'sdying below deck.
Everybody on the crew hates me.
I got a fucking life growinginside of me and I'm in some of
the worst waters that you haveto navigate.
But let's get this bitch SanFrancisco, because I have a kid

(01:18:31):
to protect here and that's whywomen should rule the world.
That's all I'm going to say.

Speaker 3 (01:18:37):
Can I add to that Please?
Do and Mary Reed are the firstfemale pirates in the Caribbean.
There was an Asian in the SouthChina Sea also, but those two
and they have a lot ofdocumentaries on them they were
not nice.

Speaker 2 (01:18:56):
I love it.
Yeah, they were.
Yeah, I mean, women arelevel-headed and logical, but
they also like revenge and youknow, I don't think revenge is a
bad thing.

Speaker 3 (01:19:12):
And we never forget.

Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
And we don't forgive, and you know what my therapist
and I talked about this a fewweeks ago Is forgiveness really
a necessary thing?

Speaker 3 (01:19:25):
The only reason they say is to free yourself from it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:30):
But to me, letting you get away with it and letting
you know it's okay, you gotaway with it.
What does that do for me?
That makes you feel better?
That doesn't make me feelbetter.
I agree with you, and I told mytherapist I'm atheist, um, and
I feel like forgiveness is aconstruct of christianity,

(01:19:50):
because jesus forgives you andall these christians can run
around and fuck around on theirspouses and do horrible things
and then just say, oh god,forgive me.
okay, good, on to the next oneso that's why forgiveness is so
prevalent in our country.
But to me, fuck you.
Why am I gonna forgive?

Speaker 3 (01:20:08):
you.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
I agree with you I'm definitely never gonna forget,
so so, yeah, no, I'm not.
I'm not about that life.
Don't come to me looking for anapology or giving me an apology
, looking for forgiveness.

Speaker 3 (01:20:22):
I'm not here for it no fuck off.
Yep, so all right.
So, ladies, if you're listening, or you know, ladies, if you're
not listening, um, we can do itlike just do it, just do it if
you want to, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:20:41):
If you want to, and if you don't want to and you
know some woman that is doing it, fucking support her, yeah,
don't we got to stick togetherand women just don't get that.
It's especially nowadays too.
It's like how are you justgoing to surrender your rights?
It's insane to me that in 2025,we are fighting for our rights

(01:21:05):
To party, and it's well theBeasties took care of that for
us.
We are allowed to party.
Yes, Thank God.
But it was.
I posted a meme about this likea month ago and it was a
picture of a woman punchingherself, a cartoon punching
herself in the face that saidwomen these days that vote for

(01:21:26):
trump or women who voted fortrump, and it's a cartoon of a
woman punching herself in theface.
But they don't even get that.
They think they're strong andindependent because they got
their guns and they drive apickup or a big SUV and they're
white, you know.
So life is pretty easy for them.
They're privileged.

(01:21:49):
Yeah you know, and they'recreepy dads, creepy friends
always were creepy with them, soit's just the norm for them.
I had creepiness my whole lifebut that was one of the things
that got me out of waitressingas a cocktail waitress.
I just couldn't take it anymore.
I couldn't, because men assumea lot.

(01:22:12):
I had money.
How much to go up to my hotelroom with me?
Just bluntly asked somebodyI've waited on for years, you
know, and you think you have agood little relationship going
on, just chatting with them.
And if they hit on for years,you know, and you think you have
a good little relationshipgoing on just chatting with them
, and if they hit they mightgive you $10.
And you know what they drink,so you bring it every time and
then one night they're just likeso how much to go upstairs?
And I'm like, what Is $300enough?

(01:22:34):
What?
Well, I mean, some of it wascute.
Like we had this drug dealerthat we all loved and we loved
his mom.
He always came in with her andhe would tip us 10 bucks to grab
her ass.
You know, whatever, I was like20 something and we all did it
and it was just funny and fun.
And then he went to jail.
That was the end of that, butnot that I didn't feed into it.

(01:22:56):
But what else was I supposed todo, you know, really.
And then I have the men who,you know, don't make that face
when I'm saying these nasty,disgusting things to you,
because my wife is on the otherside of this aisle and if she
runs the corner she's gonna knowwhat we're talking about, like
friends of a guy I dated, hey,hey, wait, we all hang out all

(01:23:21):
the time and your wife is here,you know.
So it's hard out there forwomen and it's just.
I love that, I love that.
I mean, I know these things,but it never hurts to hear it
over and over again because it'sso badass and it's so much
harder than anyone even knows.

Speaker 3 (01:23:40):
And to all the men, because it's not all men and
it's the majority of men aregood people who are just trying
to do.
The problem is they're notvocal enough.
They are becoming more vocal, Ifeel like.

Speaker 2 (01:23:58):
I felt like they were for a while.

Speaker 3 (01:24:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:24:01):
I don't know that.

Speaker 3 (01:24:02):
I feel that now you should come to the TikTok side
they're all over TikTok.

Speaker 2 (01:24:07):
You've already got me on the gambling website.
Just leave me be okay alright,I'm gonna leave this.
