"I'm sure. You got them candles, but they can never ever lie to them. You can light them. It will light them in the kitchen area. There's a smart marble top. We're in the garage where it's concrete floor. Number one cause the house fires, right? Yeah. That's what you say. That's what you told us. Yeah, that's right. You got to be careful with candles. Yeah, oh yeah. I guess I'm just a little shocked that you being mister safety would have done something. Well, they're not going to take them to their room. You have to realize they're going to come to the kitchen and I think we have an expert witness on this. It's not that easy. It's not that difficult to sneak stuff past you, okay? You're unaware. You're completely out of any p.m.. I think you guys would be either surprised and maybe disappointed at how many candles I have in my house. How many? I have probably 20. What kind of sense? I've got pumpkin and some other sense. Maybe a lavender. What do you have in the bedroom? Pumpkin. Pumpkin in the tea. Have a different scent in every room? For the day, how does that work? No, I tend to light one candle in. So I have a lot of unlit candles in my house. I just like the way they look on a shelf. I'm put in the bathroom. What's sent? Oh, what is in there? It's something white. Tuna. It's sort of a baby powder ish smell. Oh there you go. It's very pleasant. I was stunned at some of the sense that they had available. Did you make a candle? No, I was supervising. Could you sprinkle Cedar chips into the paraffin? And then it would have hardens. They're in there. I don't know, I would have to ask. I've had how you can do that once we need to do that. You didn't pay any attention. All right, well, you were on the phone. No, I was not on the phone fortunately there was a really good coffee shop right next one. So you had nothing to do with that. What do you go here, girls, happy birthday? I'm gonna go get some coffee. So if you hold the wick and then they cut it off, how's that done? They handle all the technical stuff. You weren't there at all, were you? It was a very nice lady supervising. Very nice. When you weren't super. And there were a bunch of adult parties going on too. Well, yeah, 'cause that's an adult thing. No, normally, you take your kids to museum or Chuck E. Cheese or the candle making or the trampoline place where they can jump around have fun. You have a nice launch of corn pone and hardtack. That's right. And then you go to the quilt making sure yeah. Well, tomorrow only next year we're gonna churn butter. Sounds

"Trading like Chuck E. Cheese tokens on the New York Stock Exchange. But even those you can at least use them for something, you just go play games with them. You can't even do that with these things. So practically there's very little used to any of them, the value of them is essentially zero. And the only reason why anybody thought they had value was that these markets were used to manipulate people into thinking that they had value. And that's true for I think all of them. I haven't seen an exception to that. So yeah, I mean, it's not going to that's an example of what I mean. If there's true regulation in the space, those things would have never existed. Like they never would have happened. I'm sure they would have found other ways. I mean, the market always finds a way to blow themselves up and hidden risks and stuff. I'm sure they would have figured something out. But the tokens as they exist today, they would not have existed. If it had been any kind of real regulation. Well, here's a token that's sort of adjacent. You had a really interesting post about binance and the binance chain and B and B and interestingly, you kind of basically said it's another variation on the one coin scam. So I was kind of curious if you could just sort of recap what your thoughts are there and what you think might happen to that chain in those coins. Well, so one coin was a pyramid scheme. And it turned out that essentially what they were doing was saying, we're going to sell this crypto and it's going to be the next, it's going to be the Bitcoin killer, I think, is what they called it. And run by this very charismatic woman who later disappeared and has never been seen since. I think she's on the most wanted list or something. But it turned out they actually never created a blockchain at all, right? Like the token didn't even exist. It was just like a number on a database somewhere, like in their excel documents, essentially. It was on a spreadsheet. So when I say when I compare those things, and this is based on other people's work, so I've validated the best I can. But a lot of the features of how the binance blockchains operate, they don't really operate like public blockchains at all. The code has been essentially obfuscated for a very long time. They're finally releasing bits and pieces of it. It appears that certain workarounds are used to basically retroactively rewrite code and things that it's very questionable. I mean, it's not like something that satoshi would not be happy with it. Let's put it that way. And the whole idea of a company owning its own blockchain. I mean, the thing that, again, it's sort of like going back to the idea of these things as scam as a service, what is the, what is their blockchain actually used for? Like look at what look at what the projects are on. They're almost exclusively very, very poor rug pull type projects, almost exclusively. And they have a few DeFi quote unquote defied essentialized finance protocols that are actually run essentially by binance directly. So there's nothing decentralized about the binance blockchain. That's why I don't really think of it like a real. I don't think it's really like, it's not really like Ethereum or anything else. I mean, whether or not Ethereum has value is a separate question, at least it is a public blockchain. At least there is something there that is public. This is not like that. And then the price mechanics of the BNB token are incredibly questionable. Based on multiple people's analysis of how that token behaves. So there's a lot of questionable things about it. And I think that I think it's going to be interesting what happens with it. Let's put it that way. So the last kind of news bit that I wanted to ask you about from your newsletter was you wrote about the case of Aubrey eisenberg, the mango markets exploiter and I felt that your takeaway was definitely different from what we hear in the rest of the crypto space. So can you talk a little bit about what your perspective is on that case? Well, I don't know what the takeaway is for everybody else. What's everybody else's takeaway? You know, they think that he manipulated markets and that like even though sometimes they might say code is law. I think in this case they're like, no, no, no, no, no. He's like explaining this. It's like an economic exploit. And then the other thing is that I had some lawyers on my show who said that they felt that some of the enforcement around this put at risk the ability for white hat hackers to do the kind of work that they typically do in DeFi, which was kind of an interesting take. But so what's your, yeah? My take, I mean, my take is that it's not borrowing. If you don't intend to pay somebody back. And that's what he did, right? Like he figured out a way to trick a protocol into lending him money and he never paid it back and he had no intention of paying it back. He paid back some of it because he, I don't know if you because he had to because he felt like it, I don't know why he did what he did. But he kept he kept at least half, right? Or around half of the

"Trump is not going to save us Elon Musk isn't going to save us. You know, all of those politicians, all of the people that we're looking to are not going to save us. Christ will. And our faith in God. And us as men standing up in our families. Totally in our households, in our communities. That is what will take care of us. It's that with a mindset of God's will be done and I don't need the Bible to come true on my terms. Yeah. I'm okay with the Bible coming true on God's terms. God's word needs to be his word, and if his word doesn't come true, he's not God. Right. And so what are we trying to do? We're actually trying to hold on to a framework, a way of life, a way of thinking and doing a being of churching that actually allows the church to limp forward. What does that say about us? In some cultures, I'm not going to go full Spartan, but it's like the weak members of the body, right? The babes in Christ at a certain point you realize they're actually spiritual liabilities. And so you have to have groups within the church that are advancing. Your password will never tell you that they focus on evangelism. I'm not saying yours and rob. I'm saying that a church will never say in a scale of one to ten word two word three. We will only our faith in our message will only get your faith as far as a four, a 5. And so what happens if people stay there and don't hear another word, they think their faith is sufficient. Why? Because the church has become a good member Tyler. Check the box, families happy, white and wife and kids get dressed up to go out to Chuck E. Cheese afterwards or Applebee's or rainforest cafe. Everyone checks the box and men have barely lasted long enough to get 6 days until they're back in church to 7th day. And so when the church is closed down in 2020, what did we see? We saw the end of the church age. Yeah, I mean, church membership is still dramatically down, including all the online church and all that stuff. And they try to make it a little bit of like, oh yeah, but people are still having a watch party. Yeah. No. That's not happening either. That's the funny thing. Is it all kind of died?

"And it's just something about gears and these creatures and electronics being submerged underwater. Kind of like when Disney used to have the 20,000 leagues under the sea ride, like a lot of people were freaked out by that because it had a whole bunch of like underwater animatronics. Katie, do you have showbiz pizza or Chuck E. Cheese or any of those places in your neck of the Woods? Do you know what that is? Oh yeah. Yeah, I went to Chuck E. Cheese when I was a kid and I remember I know exactly what you're going to talk about. Animatronic characters and when I was younger, I was like, oh, how charming? It was showbiz pizza when I was growing up. I don't know even know if they're still around. But now I look at them and I'm like, that's terrifying. Like you know, they walk off of their purchase off the stage and they leave the store, the pizza parlor, and they roam the city and they do horrible deeds and then right before sunrise, they go back and take their places again. I'm convinced this actually happens. And I don't think that's a rational. Do you, Katie? No, and you know, I don't think Five Nights at Freddy's has really helped people get over that fear. But I've also heard that it's possible that it could be a weird evolutionary survival tick in our brains that makes us scared of fake things that mimic real life because we think I don't trust that thing. It could be trying to kill me and trying to convince me that it's real to come be down or something. You do not realize that you have provided a natural and perfect segue into my next segment Katie, thank you so very much. All my best with your phobia, have a happy Halloween, okay? You too, all right. See you later. Article posted in psychology today. Says if people didn't feel fear, they wouldn't be able to protect themselves from legitimate threats, fear is a vital response to physical and emotional danger that has been pivotal throughout human evolution, but especially in ancient times when men and women regularly faced life or death situations. Today, the stakes are lower, but while public speaking, elevators and spiders don't present the same type of immediately dire consequences that faced early man. Some individuals still develop extreme fight flight or freeze responses to specific objects or scenarios. Many people experience occasional bouts of fear or nerves before a flight first date, big game, but when someone's fear is persistent and specific to certain threat and impairs his or her everyday life, that person might have what's known as a specific phobia. At least 60% of adults admit to having at least one unreasonable fear, although research to date is not clear on why these spheres manifest one theory is that humans have a genetic predisposition to fear things that were a threat to our ancestors. Such as snakes, spiders, heights, or water. But this is difficult to verify, although people who have a first degree relative with a specific phobia appear more likely to have the same one. Others point to evidence that individuals fear certain things because of a previous traumatic experience with them, but that fails to explain the many fears without such origins. Personality traits such as neuroticism appear to increase one's likelihood of developing a phobia and a tendency toward frequent worries and negative thoughts may also increase the risk as may being raised by overprotective parents losing a parent or sexual or physical abuse. Most likely is that people follow multiple pathways to fears. Not least among them the emotional response of disgust, the article goes on to talk about evolution, children, and how children might learn, fear, specific phobias, the fears of animals like dogs and bugs, which aren't animals, by the way.

"Now a mother in New Jersey has some major beef with Chuck E. Cheese. The very popular kids mascot you never think that kids mascot. Would be guilty of racial discrimination for ignoring a high 5 attempt, but that's the charge. The woman goes by the name um sapphire on Twitter, don't ask me. She put up a video that says she shot it on July 30 that the Chuck E. Cheese location in Wayne, New Jersey. And it shows her daughter very excited, jumping up and down before putting her hand down. I seen the video, you can see the mouse high 5, some white kids on the stage before he basically stands in front of the black kid and does nothing but ignore the black girl. It's a terrible video to watch. It breaks your heart. You just ignoring the kid. What's not clear is whether or not the person inside the costume could actually see the little girl, but for my money he can't. But that doesn't matter to the woman who's gone after this rat. She wrote, now you gotta, I mean, people on Twitter write things weird, but my two YO two year old was racially discriminated against. As you can see, he gives all the white kids high 5. Now white is spelled YT. And purposely ignored my black baby. When confronted, he ignored me as well. The manager made excuses for him. By the way, like I said, she spells white YT. Is that a new thing? She was not even close to a 130 characters. She had plenty more room to do the other three letters, is that a new thing? Black in this paragraph, black gets a capital B and anywhere in the media black gets a capital B not white. We still got the small W don't, listen, no, black gets a big B sorry, white people, you're just a little common substandard W you don't get the big W so black gets a capital B and right now, not only do we not get the big W now we'll refer to as YT, two lower case letters. That's discrimination if you ask me.

Well, actually, the story really is, I would go to after work at the radio station, I would go to the Chuck E. Cheese pizza time theater with a roll of quarters, pump those quarters into the arcade machines. At one point I said, this is ridiculous, so I got an Atari 2600, which was one of the early little game consoles, wasn't very good. Do you realize if you hadn't done that, today you would be at Chuck E. Cheese? I would be working to check the cheese. I might be one of those animatronic bears. I don't know. That's your birthday. So yeah, so I owe it all to the Atari 2600 because after that, then I got the and I know you did this too. I got the Atari 400 computer. I got the attorney. Slowly worked my way up. Now I'm paying $5000 for a max studio that's not much bigger than the Atari 2600. Graduated from the Atari 800. Yes. Is that an improvement? I think it is. That's really a cute thing. Isn't that cute? They must have licensed this from Atari. I mean, it's the real deal. Yes, you know what? It's very funny. Atari PacMan must be it's very funny because it says 9 games plus PacMan. So they must have, but these are the best games breakout tempest centipede combat Pong warlords, missile command millipede, asteroids and PacMan.

"Coming up, what Chuck E. Cheese is doing for the parents. Folks, it's been one year since the deadly insurrection at the U.S. capitol. And I wanted to share this amazing piece of journalism that I watched from LA times today. Our cousin television program presents a special edition, looking back on that historic day, including a closer look at the 30 or so people who are trapped, unable to escape in the gallery above the house floor. Several lawmakers told me about how difficult, particularly it was several days after the attack. I think there was shock. The day it happened and in the following days, a lot of members felt like, okay, this wasn't just a thing that happened to the country. It was something that happened to them as people because they were quite literally victims of it as well. To learn more about the gallery group, and to see more coverage in the special edition, watch on spectrum news one, the spectrum news app or at LA times dot com slash Jan 6. Again, that's LA times dot com slash JAN Jan 6 Jan 6 gracias. So Samantha, we heard a ton about how Chuck E. Cheese plans to appeal to kids today. But what about us adults? So something that they started doing a few years back was serving alcohol. And so the thing that really kind of doomed discovery zone was that parents would go and they would get really bored. There was nothing for them to do. And so they didn't really want to go there anymore. So Chuck E. Cheese started serving alcohol. It's a way to make sure that parents have something to do. They can hang out with their other parent friends there. The flip side of that is that sometimes they're more altercations. Maybe that leads to some more fights. There was a case study about Chuck E. Cheese that quoted someone to say it reminded them of a Quentin Tarantino movie. So you know, you've got to kind of balance both sides. Nothing sadder than adults fighting at a Chuck E. Cheese. I defy anyone to find someone Saturday than that. Not only that though they're in their own way, they're Gourmet up the menu. They're doing instead of just your, you know, greasy pizza and cheese with some marinara sauce. They're doing more to that. Yeah, they started doing fresh spinach. They started trying to add some more healthy options on the opposite side of that. They started adding these more unique desserts. They have these unicorn churros with multi colored sprinkles on them. Just to try to bring in something different. So they're really trying to diversify their menu beyond just the cheese and pepperoni pizza that I remember when I was going there. What's going to be the feature then of entertainment with Chuck E. Cheese being like the biggest game in town or their upstarts coming up, something else? I think there's always something coming around the corner. I mean, that's what happened in the 90s. I imagine that's what's going to happen now. Really for these entertainment places to really thrive and continue. It seems like they just have to always be looking at what's ahead and making sure they're adapting to that. And if they're not, that's where they're going to have some real difficulties. Finally, Samantha wins the next time you're going to go to Chuck E. Cheese. I don't know that I am interested in going anytime soon. I mean, I don't have any kids and I feel like adults going by themselves is a little weird or even with just other non kidless adults. But it's a cool place.

"He had to be screwing one of these things. 'cause as the company because at this point, I don't have an exact tracking of it, but he's slowly having to let people go from the robot factory. And he's falling into what will become a pretty interesting psychological state. So in 89, he says, no, take the Chuck E. Cheese characters. I'm taking my band, right? And so that's why Chuck E. Cheese still exists. Otherwise it would just be The Rock of fire explosion. Right. So for the next three years, from 90 to 92, this horrifying thing happens that I'll send you the video because it is just very, very freaky. All of The Rock afire explosion animatronics are turned into the Chuck E. Cheese band. So they don't produce any new robots. What they do is they peel the faces off of The Rock a fire hundreds of thousands of robots. They have their faces peeled off. They re skin them physically, physically. Not from wolfpack to rock of fire, but to Chuck E. Cheese. They're just taking the faces off of them and putting like a rest. Space or a mouse space? And putting a rat face over where a gorilla face once was. It's very visceral. There's all of these training videos at the time of how each individual restaurant manager can because it's like just regular people are peeling the faces off. And putting on the faces, there's these very disturbing instructional videos. There's videos of how to attach or how to remove mitsy mozzarella's rat breasts. It's disgusting. Oh my God. It's a really real. And you're making people who are not tech people, you're like, you have to dub it down and go, I know you're a pizza manager. You're a manager of a pizza shop, but you're also IT in tech right now. And we need you to recreate exactly. So at this point, let me make sure I have the right failure. So Aaron factors out of the company at this point. He struck out on his own. He is showbiz, he is not involved anymore. And so he returns to his he returns to his factory where it's unclear whether he lives there. It does seem like he lives there. My God. And he eventually, he eventually will get married. He meets a truly gorgeous woman on a message board for fans of The Rock of fire explosion who then moves into his factory and marries him. I don't know if they're still together. It based on his YouTube channel, it seems like maybe she bailed. Yeah, she might want. I mean, I would. Would be very hard. I feel like that would be fun and interesting until very suddenly it wouldn't be anymore. And then you would not want to live in the robot factory.

And the law of one night would they'll have a stack of their tokens from two two two two two that they'll have ten. And then they're like, oh, my God, I'm shit faced. Anyway. Anyway, but there's no way to save them up at the Chuck E. Cheese. They're like, no, no. We saw you drink that second beer. You gotta do it right. How much? Okay, so here's a question I have for you. Which is how much do you think a set of how much do you think one rock a fire explosion band would cost? In 1980 6. Fully standing animatronic. Yes. Band members. $600,000? Fortunately, only $90,000 per restaurant. In 1980. In 1980 money, it was less than a hundred grand for all 6 band members. So like 20 grand each, maybe? Yeah, and so what factor does is factor starts a factory basically in Florida where he's from and has at 1.3 hundred employees at his company, churning these things out. It gets wildly successful because there's hundreds of these restaurants. Right, right. So he's just like robots. 300 people. He's got a robot factory. He's pre Roomba. This is most people. So they keep suing each other in 1982, Nolan Bushnell does win a case against showbiz. He lands, he lands a shot. And showbiz pizza, which is fair because Robert Brock went absolutely nuts on him. So Nolan Bushnell manages to get showbiz pizza to they're supposed to provide a $50 million payout to Chuck E. Cheese over the next 14 years. But then Nolan Bushnell is the Atari guy. And in 1983, the video game industry completely shits the bed and no one wants Atari games anymore. So that really affects Chuck E. Cheese's ability to expand. Right, because everybody's because now if I remember correctly because I was there playing video games in 1983, it expands so greatly that Atari becomes just a small, you know, iconic, but there's Sega. There's midway. There's all these different companies that everyone's like, well, I'm going, I'm not going to just play Atari games. I'm going to spaceport, and I'm going to drag into lair, which is exactly like that. Okay. So that's exactly perfect sense. So he gets kind of screwed because he's strictly it's all Atari in all of the Chuck E. cheeses. And he ranched out to other video games. Okay. And it also kind of just affects their runway money because the success of Chuck E. Cheese was inherently tied to the success of Atari. So when Atari loses a shitload of money, Chuck E. Cheese can't expand anymore. So that happens in 83, which leads to in the mid 80s Chuck E. Cheese files for chapter 11 bankruptcy. Okay. So now, Robert Brock realizes he's got an opportunity here, and he can finally get this revenge that I mean at this point we're like 7 years into this conflict. And Robert Brock acting as showbiz pizza buys up Chuck E. Cheese. And rebrands Chuck E. Cheese as showbiz. So it started as Chuck E. Cheese's pizza time theater and showbiz pizza. Yep. And so for a while in the 80s, the restaurant is called showbiz pizza time incorporated. A nightmare. It is nightmare. And I finally earned vector gets to make Chuck E. Cheese. The band?.

"And Robert Brock is so mad about this, that he decides he's going to double cross Nolan Bushnell as well. And he's going to buy in with air infector and start a competing pizza restaurant against the pizza restaurants. He just franchised. And that's why show biz pizza exists. That nuts. You are correct. It's so weird. Wow. Okay. He figures, so I guess on Robert Brock's mind, he's going to feel like as if Robert Brock's mind in the early 1980s, there's an infinite amount of revenue for themed pizza restaurant. To the point where he's starting hundreds of them and pitting them against each other. Definitely a super villain. He's like cartoonishly evil. And he's dumb. Okay, Robert. He doesn't see that there's clearly an end to this fad, but he just is like, so there's this great documentary that touches on this called The Rock a fire explosion. That labels this schism, the great robot pizza wars of the 1980s. But all within, it's a Civil War taking place entirely in Robert Brock's mind. Oh my God. It's so fucking weird. Like, okay. So Chuck E. Cheese is thriving, but now Robert Brock is going to start a competing business, which obviously Nolan Bushnell and all the Chuck E. Cheese people are furious about. They're like, we didn't tell you about an animatronic wolf one time, and now you're doing this. And so in 1980, showbiz pizza works. So Chuck E. Cheese started three years before showbiz pizza. Showbiz pizza has a pretty identical business model, except that there's less video games and more animatronics. So Nolan Bushnell sues them immediately. They're suing each other back and forth for the next decade and a half. Because Robert Brock is forced out of Chuck E. Cheese over time, becomes furious about that, even though how could he not see that coming? Yeah. And then doubles down his efforts to make showbiz pizza wildly successful. So for error infector, this is great, because all air infector wants to do. At this point, I think he's given up on fuel efficient cars, which is kind of funny. And he's all about robots. Yeah, he's got money. And so he's like robots. So he's completely big robot pill. He is over the environment. He's over fuel efficiency. It's the 80s now..

"So Chuck E. Cheese starts and he's Nolan Bushnell kind of does a vertical integration of the Atari games. Okay, that's pretty well. People like Chuck E. Cheese. He's a joys Y rat, et cetera. Did Aaron vektor invent the animatronic? No, so he's going to come in in a bit. So they have so the part of the problem so far. So far they're parallel lives, right? Right. And then when they intersect things blow up. So yeah, the original Chuck E. Cheese animatronics are very, they're not programmable. They're really loud. They break down a lot. It's one of the weaknesses of the restaurant. So they need to find a guy, which you could argue at any given time. It's one of the restaurants. I'm so sorry. Okay. Okay, so that was the idea. 1978, the next year. Air infector has been working on these full size animatronic robots that will eventually be in Chuck E. cheeses. After a bunch of madness takes place. But he creates this animatronic band of freestanding wolves. They're called the wolf pack 5. And he debuts them at this show. It's like this amazing. I think I always think of it because I think of this way too much. I always think about it. You know that scene in the hunchback of Notre-Dame. We're quasi moto is out of his tower for the first time. And he's at the festival of fools and everyone is so stoked that he's there. And something awful is about to happen to him, but he has this amazing moment before something terrible happens to him. Yeah. Yeah. This is Aaron factors festival of fools. What do you debut as the wolfpack 5? They're scary looking animatronics and they're singing doo wop. It's works and everyone's like, wow, this kid's a genius. And around this time, Nolan Bushnell learns about the wolf pack 5. Meets Aaron factor, tries to broker a deal with him, but it doesn't quite happen. So at this point, I guess, I mean, yeah, I guess the villain of the story enters at this point. In the late 70s, there's this money guy. He owns hotels and has a bunch of money. His name is Robert Brock. And he basically creates well, here's what he does. First, he meets Nolan Bushnell and buys in to Chuck E. Cheese. He wants to it's because of him that the restaurant gets hugely franchised across the country. They open, I think, like, 200 locations in the early 80s. I remember this. It was huge. It was enormous. Nice. Yeah. Too many ways. Robert Brock. Yeah. So he's the money guy who's like, we're franchising. We're going big. Exactly. So he puts Chuck E. Cheese kind of on the map. And then Robert Brock through a total coincidence, also meets Aaron factor, and learns about the wolf pack 5. He I don't know. This is like a petty business thing that I can barely wrap my head around. From what I could put together because I researched this very intensely at the time. From what I could put together, Robert Brock was upset that Nolan Bushnell had already heard of the wolfpack 5 and never told him. He viewed this as a bad business partner betrayal. He was like, he didn't tell me we had a wheelbarrow? Very much princess bride. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. That's exactly it. He is unduly upset that Nolan hasn't told him about these animatronic wolves in Florida. Like he's like, how could you not have told me?.

"Funny is like you know. This video was demonetized by youtube. He got nothing out of this money. L. a. b. heat. A piece of dog shit. You ain't got shit on me motherfucker. Yeah yeah remember. L. a. b.'s. We featured him a couple days ago he was putting that weird bitter and stuff on his stake. The world's most bitter substance yet. He's not man enough to eat. Deterred like shoe. Nice really upping the ante. There could job show finally today. I have not seen the newest. Dave chapelle stand up special. It obviously has been Generating a lot of controversy most notably. For what dave had to say about transpeople apparently There was a large chunk of trans related jokes and that has upset the trans community again. I don't know how bad it is. Obviously if it was like a sustained attack on transpeople trans people are going to be upset about it. What strangers. I've got audio here of a protest. That went down think. It's like in front of netflix headquarters. And it's a bunch of like trans activists and people who support trans saying they. Dave chapelle has to go. You should ban him take his special down. Whatever i just feel like. this is all misplaced. Turn your anger towards dave chapelle. If you don't like what. Dave chapelle is saying people are allowed to have different opinions again. I haven't seen it. But apparently dave chapelle has some problems with the trans community and as long as he's not like inciting violence against these people are some then. I don't think netflix has a responsibility to only air. One side of an argument or air content that supports only one opinion on something you know. Let the comedian say whatever he wants and if you don't like what he says fuck and boycott him. If i was a trans person. I would be glad this thing aired now. I know what type of person dave chapelle is. He's a dick by anymore. Tickets to his stand specials or whatever this protest is so lame by the way there's actually like to protests going on you know there's there's the group that's protesting net flicks and i guess dave chapelle and then there's protesters.
