WEBVTT
00:00:03.386 --> 00:00:24.626
so, uh, so something not not very chill happened last last week after we were done recording it's almost like a sequel if you listen to our last episode yeah, it was the worst kind you know.
00:00:24.626 --> 00:00:38.290
Essentially all my fears of what it was in the dark underneath the canopy of our front door came true, and it came true in the most horrific cinematic way.
00:00:38.290 --> 00:00:41.909
You can't tell me that that didn't feel like a movie for a moment there.
00:00:43.060 --> 00:00:43.360
I had emotions.
00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:47.049
I had emotions, I had feelings.
00:00:47.049 --> 00:00:47.811
I heard you yell.
00:00:49.402 --> 00:00:50.344
I think that was you.
00:00:50.344 --> 00:00:51.749
No, bro, that was you.
00:00:51.749 --> 00:00:52.331
I heard you.
00:00:52.942 --> 00:00:59.453
I heard you yell too, I might have yelled, but that might have been you out of body, looking back on yourself yelling Probably.
00:01:00.426 --> 00:01:01.118
I was outside.
00:01:01.118 --> 00:01:12.569
I was outside seeing the spider crawl at us and I saw it murdering you, just tearing you apart as it made its way to get me.
00:01:12.569 --> 00:01:14.912
This is awful, dude.
00:01:14.912 --> 00:01:15.853
I'm getting emotional right now.
00:01:15.853 --> 00:01:16.674
My eyes are getting watery.
00:01:16.674 --> 00:01:19.593
I want you to tell it because you'll.
00:01:19.593 --> 00:01:20.640
I think here's the thing.
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.688
There's no way I can tell it and truly give it justice, because I was.
00:01:24.688 --> 00:01:31.528
It's like one of those things where someone asks you what happened in the car accident and you're just like I don't know man, it kind of blacked out.
00:01:31.528 --> 00:01:38.192
But you ask witnesses of the car accident and they can give way better reports of what happened For sure.
00:01:39.061 --> 00:02:00.114
That's what I need you to do right now, because last week we talked about how there was a spider encounter on the way out of the office, out of the world headquarters studio, and you had gotten a spider web and spider in your mouth, down your shirt, and there was a little bit of an episode.
00:02:01.662 --> 00:02:03.481
Well, we didn't, by the way.
00:02:03.481 --> 00:02:04.546
Welcome to the Make and Pass show.
00:02:04.546 --> 00:02:06.132
Sorry, welcome to the Make pass show.
00:02:06.132 --> 00:02:08.766
Sorry, welcome to the making pass show, because this story could take a couple minutes.
00:02:08.766 --> 00:02:10.914
Um, thanks for joining us all, ken.
00:02:10.914 --> 00:02:16.229
Um, just want to give a you know, a shout out and plug to those of you who listen every week.
00:02:16.229 --> 00:02:18.341
Appreciate you, um.
00:02:18.341 --> 00:02:34.182
And if, uh, you listened last week, you are familiar with the horror stories of me walking into the spider web out front in something, walked into something hard, big though it was a big thing.
00:02:34.182 --> 00:02:57.685
That felt like you know, it felt like, honestly this is the best way I can describe it Pick up, if you're at home right now, or you're going home, listen to this, okay, and do it so that way you understand, just pick up the string to your blinds and close your eyes and kind of dangle it so it hits you in the face like just so, like it gently bonks in your face, you're like, oh, that's a solid piece of plastic.
00:02:57.764 --> 00:03:06.772
Yeah, that's what it felt like, dude, if that's what it felt like I had ran into and the idea of a bug or spider being that dense and big, very unsettling.
00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:12.247
But we didn't see it, and I think it's the same one.
00:03:12.247 --> 00:03:14.961
I think it was too, and so was it, he's like.
00:03:14.983 --> 00:03:16.299
I'll get this bitch next time.
00:03:16.419 --> 00:03:22.048
Is it more concerning now, having seen it Like is the first experience, now even?
00:03:22.048 --> 00:03:27.449
Worse Knowing the sheer girth of this spider.
00:03:27.449 --> 00:03:29.153
Yeah, dude, a hundred percent.
00:03:29.820 --> 00:03:43.563
Because, like it's one of those things of like you know, as a child, you're like there might be a monster in my closet, Mm-hmm, but you don't know, Mm-hmm, and there's only one way to know for sure is if you go check or someone checks?
00:03:43.563 --> 00:03:46.406
Yeah, but if you check and there is a monster, you're dead.
00:03:46.406 --> 00:03:56.455
Yeah, but if you have your mom or dad check and there's no monster, then everything's okay right, which I still check behind every shower curtain for a clown.
00:03:56.455 --> 00:03:57.736
Really.
00:04:01.300 --> 00:04:06.350
I still like while I'm peeing I do it fast Every shower curtain for a clown, really, if I'm peeing next to the shower curtain.
00:04:06.371 --> 00:04:07.793
But be serious, not comedic.
00:04:07.793 --> 00:04:12.901
Is that actually a habitual thing you have to do is make sure there's no one behind the shower curtain?
00:04:12.901 --> 00:04:24.067
Yeah, and I do it with the speed and action of violence that would scare the clown, because one time no, that's the way to do it, though, because if there is a clown, the one time in your life there will be.
00:04:24.067 --> 00:04:26.451
You'll be ready to dance.
00:04:26.512 --> 00:04:27.353
You got to get him dude.
00:04:33.660 --> 00:04:38.091
Because there was a whatever like the 1990s version of it was on yeah, with Tim Curry, which I've never seen.
00:04:38.091 --> 00:04:39.213
I've still never seen.
00:04:39.213 --> 00:04:40.757
Oh, really Excellent, it's so good.
00:04:40.757 --> 00:04:49.997
I bet if I watch it now I'd be like this is so not scary I don't know Tim Curry's really good at it, but not scary enough that I would have to check the bathroom curtain for the rest of my life.
00:04:49.997 --> 00:04:50.358
But it was on TV.
00:04:50.358 --> 00:05:06.031
I walked in the room and the scene where it is in the shower or the boy is in the shower, I don't know one way or the other someone's in the shower and the clown is coming after the boy Coming out of the curtain.
00:05:06.031 --> 00:05:07.814
I check it hard, I check it fast.
00:05:07.814 --> 00:05:12.050
I may, even if I'm midstream, I don't care, I'll make a mess.
00:05:12.050 --> 00:05:14.528
I got to check, get that curtain back.
00:05:14.668 --> 00:05:15.269
I respect it.
00:05:15.269 --> 00:05:19.442
I mean for me that one wasn't it, I think, the one that was really.
00:05:19.442 --> 00:05:31.906
It was honestly psycho, which is the fear of not something being in the shower behind the curtain something coming in, so you just shower curtainless?
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.267
Yeah, I just full on shower.
00:05:34.661 --> 00:05:37.697
That's actually why I kind of like glass showers, just naked in water everywhere.
00:05:37.697 --> 00:05:44.908
If someone opens the door and I'm in a glass shower, I will immediately defuse that right.
00:05:44.908 --> 00:05:53.543
They're coming in there, like'm gonna kill this, I'm gonna kill this guy and I just like take my nuts and press against the glass screen.
00:05:54.084 --> 00:06:02.723
They're like, damn, you got me get out of here oh yeah um, no, but like uh, I told I get that the guy not gothica.
00:06:02.723 --> 00:06:07.834
What was the one with the Korean kids?
00:06:07.834 --> 00:06:16.492
It's the one where she's showering and then there's a second pair of hands in her hair while she's showering.
00:06:17.401 --> 00:06:18.968
You don't know what I'm talking about.
00:06:19.007 --> 00:06:20.483
Oh dude, it was so scary as a kid.
00:06:20.483 --> 00:06:29.999
It was like Not Gothica, gothica was the one with Hailey Berry, anyways, never mind, but that one also made me scared because I would like I would be showering with my eyes closed.
00:06:29.999 --> 00:06:35.031
Right, you're soaking, and I'm just like waiting for to feel another pair of hands touch my head.
00:06:35.052 --> 00:06:38.267
That'd be a great move to do to somebody just sneak in the shower.
00:06:38.267 --> 00:06:42.144
You get to do it once to your wife before she leaves you.
00:06:42.406 --> 00:06:43.408
Like you know what I mean.
00:06:43.408 --> 00:06:47.726
Like I think if I did that to Billie Jean she might kill me in my sleep.
00:06:49.322 --> 00:06:51.646
I might have her let me in so I can get you while you're showering.
00:06:51.646 --> 00:06:52.742
Just a quick.
00:06:53.661 --> 00:06:55.101
I shower with Dude.
00:06:55.101 --> 00:06:56.127
Hey, shout out.
00:06:56.127 --> 00:06:58.086
You guys can go check this out.
00:06:58.086 --> 00:07:00.949
We're sponsored by Filster Enigma, the Enigma holster.
00:07:00.949 --> 00:07:13.564
We're not really, but You're a never nude yeah, I just have the holster always on, even naked bro because you don't need pants for it you don't need pants, you just cinch it around your waist bro on your hips.
00:07:14.846 --> 00:07:28.790
So, anyways, these spiders, the spider, really, there was a prequel to this, to this spider's journey, I think, because we should give it justice, because, do you remember, three weeks ago, I pointed out on my truck as we were toppers were leaving.
00:07:28.790 --> 00:07:30.286
I was like, look at this cool spider web.
00:07:30.622 --> 00:07:32.000
And I was like no, man, it's good.
00:07:32.100 --> 00:07:33.625
And I was like this spider is huge.
00:07:33.625 --> 00:07:34.428
And you're like no, I'm good.
00:07:34.428 --> 00:07:36.365
And you're just like did you see the spider.
00:07:36.507 --> 00:07:40.141
Yeah, oh, I thought you just saw the web and we're like it must be big.
00:07:40.423 --> 00:07:41.242
It was a big spider.
00:07:41.242 --> 00:07:47.247
It was about half the size of the spider we finally came to, dear God.
00:07:47.247 --> 00:07:49.569
You mean in two weeks it doubled its size.
00:07:49.569 --> 00:07:51.870
Dude, I think it was the same one.
00:07:52.331 --> 00:07:52.951
Jesus.
00:07:53.052 --> 00:07:54.173
He's been munching down.
00:07:54.473 --> 00:07:59.475
Pat, if we didn't kill it it would have grown to the size of the earth in 13 days.
00:08:00.476 --> 00:08:12.107
It's exponential At that rate we would have needed nuclear weaponry, and so we saw it a few weeks ago and then last week Pass out.
00:08:12.107 --> 00:08:15.108
A few weeks ago, two weeks ago it went into his car like a sane person.
00:08:15.108 --> 00:08:21.314
Yeah, two weeks ago it got Mick in the mouth, in the face, and then Still don't know if that's what it was.
00:08:22.274 --> 00:08:25.656
Could have been a nut, an acorn in the web.
00:08:26.576 --> 00:08:27.158
It could have been.
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:32.059
It's about acorn-sized body, which is a large spider.
00:08:32.059 --> 00:08:32.217
Its ass was the size of an acorn.
00:08:32.217 --> 00:08:32.587
That's what I'm saying.
00:08:32.587 --> 00:08:34.226
Put that in perspective, people.
00:08:34.226 --> 00:08:36.990
If its ass is the size of an acorn.
00:08:38.177 --> 00:08:38.720
Oh, no kidding.
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:44.113
And so, anyways, we come to last week where we've just got done talking about this dang spider.
00:08:44.113 --> 00:08:47.519
And we come to last week where we've just got done talking about this dang spider, and you, slowly, you're exiting first.
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.024
You're the point man.
00:08:49.024 --> 00:08:51.485
I'm at the door and you're opening it.
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.349
I'm checking corners so hard, you fully open.
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:55.985
Well, you checked before you opened?
00:08:55.985 --> 00:08:59.490
You were looking through the glass window and then no.
00:09:00.642 --> 00:09:04.767
I turned to you and I said hey, man, I think I need you to go first.
00:09:06.029 --> 00:09:06.410
You did.
00:09:06.410 --> 00:09:07.673
Yeah, you're like, can you go first?
00:09:07.673 --> 00:09:27.927
But then this was as you open the door, you say that, and then we're kind of standing shoulder to shoulder at this point and my, my, my truck was backed up to the curb and the spider distance from the door to the truck was probably three to the curb and this spider Distance from the door to the truck was probably three feet.
00:09:27.927 --> 00:09:31.327
Yeah, probably, yeah, that or a little more.
00:09:31.327 --> 00:09:34.109
And this spider, she likes my truck.
00:09:34.109 --> 00:09:35.783
She keeps building webs on them.
00:09:35.783 --> 00:09:39.080
Liked yeah, so spoiler alert.
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:44.793
So the web must have been around like the hitch, it was building a web.
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.139
I thought it went to your rear windshield wiper.
00:09:47.139 --> 00:09:57.794
It went from the banister or whatever over our door to your rear windshield wiper.
00:09:57.835 --> 00:09:58.096
There we go.
00:09:58.096 --> 00:10:02.511
I think it was even lower because of how tall my truck was and it came out of the darkness.
00:10:02.511 --> 00:10:03.905
It came up out of the darkness.
00:10:03.905 --> 00:10:04.288
It like it.
00:10:04.328 --> 00:10:19.701
It came up out of the darkness for those who have seen jaws, you know when the camera's panning in on the guy on the beach and it's literally like it's zooming into his face while also like it's dollying into his face while zooming out.
00:10:19.701 --> 00:10:36.041
So it does that weird perspective, zoom, and, and that's what happened, like I'm looking at this thing and all I see is this tiny silhouette, you know, crawling on its web from the truck, hitch up to our faces At a high rate of speed, high rate of speed and.
00:10:36.301 --> 00:10:49.940
I see it go from the size of, you know, like the tip of my pinky in perspective, to the size of a of a damn football motherfucker like I heard it going.
00:10:49.940 --> 00:10:56.638
It was like I could hear it's neil's clacking and I saw pat die in front of me.
00:10:56.638 --> 00:11:01.404
It was all in a moment I was like it's gonna kill him it's gonna get, it's gonna tear through like tissue paper.
00:11:01.404 --> 00:11:03.749
What happened bet?
00:11:05.510 --> 00:11:24.129
well, I I you saw what you do when you saw it, I, I think I stood kind of still, I think I did the, because here's what I think I, I think I, I think I did the uh, um, uh, oh, you know, I did the sympathetic flinch.
00:11:24.129 --> 00:11:38.291
You know like like out of you moved and I moved, but then I kind of I saw and I stopped, but all of a sudden, next thing, first thing I knew was just, it was just oh, and then you were not in front of the door anymore.
00:11:38.291 --> 00:11:48.714
After you said that and and it's at this point it's up, and it had come up past our faces and we can't find this thing for a brief moment.
00:11:48.714 --> 00:11:59.336
And you're like, you're just saying I think there's a little bit of like just yelling, like oh my God, oh my God, and I saw it.
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:19.225
I was like my internal dialogue was was very similar because it was a big old spider and, as you were recovering from the initial instance of it, you're just like you got to kill it, man, you got to kill that thing.
00:12:19.225 --> 00:12:21.884
And I was like, oh, look at this thing, because at this point I'd located it and it was big.
00:12:21.884 --> 00:12:22.687
Did you ever come around and look at it?
00:12:22.687 --> 00:12:24.053
I saw it, point, I'd located it and it was big.
00:12:24.053 --> 00:12:26.522
Did you ever come around and look at it?
00:12:26.522 --> 00:12:26.662
I?
00:12:26.701 --> 00:12:31.192
saw it dead on the ground okay, but I also saw pictures of them.
00:12:31.192 --> 00:12:33.342
You know elsewhere so so.
00:12:33.985 --> 00:12:35.508
So you saw it come up at your face.
00:12:35.508 --> 00:12:37.972
The next time you saw it it was dead, but I it.
00:12:37.972 --> 00:12:39.522
This thing was stopped and it was purchased.
00:12:39.522 --> 00:12:44.429
It was now in the door frame and it was big, I mean like adult male.
00:12:44.429 --> 00:12:53.150
Make a, you know, make the okay sign, that pointer finger and thumb finger, that's how big the butt was in there, just about.
00:12:53.150 --> 00:12:55.861
Yeah, it was a big butted spider.
00:12:55.861 --> 00:13:03.615
So, and orb weaver, I think, I took my trusty rainbow and it ceased to exist.
00:13:03.615 --> 00:13:05.907
Rainbow, is that what you call your shoes?
00:13:05.907 --> 00:13:07.350
Uh, rainbow flip-flop.
00:13:07.350 --> 00:13:12.048
Oh okay, took my rainbow flip-flop and I whacked it and just has how it's.
00:13:12.048 --> 00:13:15.524
It's always interesting how, to me, any spider that is big and scary.
00:13:15.524 --> 00:13:18.009
Once you kill it it gets so tiny.
00:13:18.831 --> 00:13:26.581
This one was hydraulics bro, I know it just, they just get so tiny and and delicate bro, dude, this is the sound it made everybody.
00:13:26.620 --> 00:13:37.591
This is the sound it made after he smacked it with the chancla and it hit the floor it literally thudded and that made me almost throw up.
00:13:37.591 --> 00:13:39.259
Dude, I was like that's how big that thing.
00:13:39.259 --> 00:13:41.022
It crunched and the whole.
00:13:41.081 --> 00:13:52.475
Like you could have shot it with a nine mil and it probably would have survived the whole, like the whole toe and ball of my like foot on the flip-flop, was covered in junk.
00:13:52.475 --> 00:13:54.183
It was a lot of spider.
00:13:54.183 --> 00:14:06.144
But the spider will mess with us no more, except for probably all the babies it had yeah, up there, you know, I what you know I was thinking when I walked in today.
00:14:06.466 --> 00:14:10.383
Dude, I was so unsettled when I was trying to walk in today I was like I gotta do it to get in here.
00:14:10.383 --> 00:14:13.990
Um, I was like it probably ate that fucking bird.
00:14:13.990 --> 00:14:18.955
There's a bird's nest up there and I'm like I'm like that's why the bird ain't there.
00:14:18.955 --> 00:14:20.923
It ate the bird it might bird babies.
00:14:21.866 --> 00:14:39.447
It might have dude that thing is big enough that it could wrap up a newborn baby bird, it's true, and the uh, it is a orb weaver, which also is the same spider as the beloved charlotte of charlotte's web, and we killed it.
00:14:39.488 --> 00:14:46.750
We killed charlotte, yeah bro, poor wilbur, that was like the most intense sympathetic response I've ever had to.
00:14:46.750 --> 00:14:49.946
Like flight Like that one was like.
00:14:49.946 --> 00:14:53.066
I know we'd already said this, it may seem like a repeat, but like that was.
00:14:53.066 --> 00:14:59.312
I was like I'm going to run, like immediately before I could have another clear thought, it was just out the back door.
00:14:59.312 --> 00:15:01.046
That's all I heard in my head was out the back door.
00:15:01.046 --> 00:15:13.366
Out the back door and like I got to the stairs to go up to the second level before I stopped myself and I was like no, like you don't need to run out the back door, that's excessive.
00:15:13.366 --> 00:15:15.234
But it was that strong of a flight.
00:15:15.234 --> 00:15:19.309
You know what I mean and we kind of and I don't run from fucking anything like there's.
00:15:19.309 --> 00:15:23.688
I I have not ever, I've never run from a fight, never run from a big, scary dude.
00:15:23.688 --> 00:15:24.553
You know what I mean.
00:15:25.479 --> 00:15:43.527
And like I was ready to hightail it out of here bro the, and it had been built up because we had just spent a whole half of a podcast talking about discussing it um, but this is a live news report from mick after after this happened.
00:15:43.547 --> 00:15:46.373
This is mick live um is this on the ring doorbell?
00:15:46.921 --> 00:15:49.404
yeah, here we go.
00:15:49.404 --> 00:15:52.529
We have a rapist in lincoln park.
00:15:52.529 --> 00:15:54.474
He's climbing in your windows.
00:15:54.474 --> 00:16:03.447
He's snatching your people up trying to rape him, so y'all need to hide your kids, hide your wife and hide your, because they're raping everybody out here the attacker.
00:16:03.466 --> 00:16:05.009
Who was that guy I?
00:16:05.071 --> 00:16:06.092
know, I remember him.
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:20.303
Yeah, his name was anton dodson which is crazy because I think so many people think that was like a skit from like the dave chappelle show and no one knows, like that was just a real man out there warning people yeah just with a real personality.
00:16:20.344 --> 00:16:22.267
They raping everybody out of you.
00:16:22.267 --> 00:16:23.668
Dude, I freaking love that.
00:16:23.668 --> 00:16:32.302
Anyways, so that happened, spider stuff happened and time to move on.
00:16:32.302 --> 00:16:42.174
I did get a text message from you know, my buddy, and he's like hey, bro, you're not going to believe the size of the spider in my window.
00:16:42.174 --> 00:16:51.985
Well, and he lives like one block over from me and I'm like dude, send a picture, because we saw a spider the size of like a dollar coin at this podcast studio.
00:16:51.985 --> 00:16:58.047
And he sends it and I was like that's the same mother fucker it ain't dead it came home.
00:16:58.067 --> 00:17:00.192
I was like look man, you gotta kill it right now.
00:17:00.192 --> 00:17:08.671
And then there was one outside that I was actually outside of our house, that Billy Gene was brave enough to hose down and then crush with a stick.
00:17:08.671 --> 00:17:15.212
It was definitely the same type of spider, just darker, like the brown pattern version of the orb weaver.
00:17:15.212 --> 00:17:21.205
Now, look guys, I looked it up and I've heard that they're very gentle, passive spiders that don't bite and all that.
00:17:21.205 --> 00:17:28.483
And I don't give two shits that don't bite and all that, and I don't give two shits.
00:17:28.483 --> 00:17:33.309
It makes my feet and toes curl so hard it's insane.
00:17:33.329 --> 00:17:35.531
And here's a note about the orb weaver, though in Colorado.
00:17:35.531 --> 00:17:44.451
Larger individuals, which I would classify this one as an extra larger one, may give a pinch if grabbed and handled, so they could.
00:17:44.451 --> 00:17:49.528
They might not inject you with venom, but they could uh yeah, no shit, they could pinch on you a little.
00:17:49.868 --> 00:18:12.551
Yeah, oh, dude, all the chills through my knees and forearms right now, right up the back of my neck anyways, pat, let's, uh, let's move on to a uh topic that's not nearly as big of a deal as a spider but is currently in the zeitgeist of everything right now.
00:18:12.551 --> 00:18:35.415
We've talked about transphobia and the trans movement and just when the whole Bud Light thing was blown up and the Dylan Mulvaney and just the things that have been insane, you know insane insanity on the side of people being absolute degenerates.
00:18:35.415 --> 00:18:40.712
And you know the term tranny fluid was like I just always thought, I just always think of that.
00:18:40.712 --> 00:18:58.535
I'm like that's gotta be just like one of the most like derogatory dumbass things to say you know what I mean and like I get it, but like the context of it is like so defeating to the like idea that like you could disagree with their lifestyle in a healthy way.
00:18:58.535 --> 00:18:59.040
You know what I mean.
00:18:59.040 --> 00:19:08.848
And then the other thing then, on the other side too, of like just like the absolute insanity of like sterilizing children and transitioning children, right.
00:19:09.128 --> 00:19:33.285
So we've talked on both sides of this and, um, I think this is like a good example of, you know, people are making, I think, a bigger deal than it is because, well, I don't know if I can say that, I'm just gonna say it, it's women's boxing, um, and so like, uh.
00:19:33.285 --> 00:19:52.070
But all that said, like, I do think that this is like the actual, real conversation of, like, you know, how do we accommodate individuals who are born this way, from birth right and have this, you know, um, intersex, uh, biology, uh, and like, try to accommodate them to.
00:19:52.070 --> 00:20:02.580
You know, give them the best life possible, because it really is a decision that's got to be made pretty quick right when the baby's born, for sure, and what we're getting into here is the.
00:20:02.641 --> 00:20:20.375
You know, there is the kind of thing we see pretty common right now, which is, whatever you know, 13 year olds to 23 year olds, deciding at some point, you know, I feel that I am a different, than I was born a man or born a woman.
00:20:20.576 --> 00:20:30.259
You know, and I'm going to transition into that to, I'm going to excuse you, make moves towards that thing, whereas there's also there's a small percentage of population that has to deal with this.
00:20:30.560 --> 00:20:36.532
They don't get a choice at all from the beginning about getting to deal with it.
00:20:36.532 --> 00:21:38.438
They're kind of delta hand, where their genetics are, you know, uh, such that they are not fully, you know, a man or fully a woman, and so that they, these individuals, have to the choices typically made for them at birth about kind of which direction they head, and then also, from there, you know, they have, um, yeah, it's just not up to them, and I think you know some people might disagree with, like you know, using the words like a choice or whatever, but uh, it's so much more, uh, these people they were born with, you know, mixed up organs, mixed up genetics, whereas other folks you know kind of are up genetics, whereas other folks you know kind of are really dealing with, uh, something in their in my personal opinion, in their mental health, but and or, like you know, I mean 100 dude, like it is, without a doubt, you know, and like I know.
00:21:38.458 --> 00:21:41.462
I just want to actually clarify because we haven't said her name yet.
00:21:41.462 --> 00:21:59.794
But but Imani Khalif, algerian boxer, imani Khalif, I say her not just out of respect for pronoun and just choices, and I don't want to be just an asshole to be an asshole, but she was assigned female sex at birth.
00:21:59.794 --> 00:22:03.589
She was born with undescended testes.
00:22:03.589 --> 00:22:11.781
She was born with undescended testes.
00:22:11.781 --> 00:22:20.781
She, her chromosomal makeup is xxy and she has a vagina but no uterus and no fallopian tubes, and so, of course, she doesn't have, you know, um, ovaries because, oh, she has testes.
00:22:20.781 --> 00:22:42.079
But so, technically, on a biological level, we're talking about someone who has, uh, every cell in their body, essentially believes they're a man, and their testicles that, even though they're undescended, they're still up there and they're still producing testosterone.
00:22:42.079 --> 00:23:09.351
And they're producing testosterone when tested, which amani khalif has been tested, when tested, were producing testosterone at the same rate as any other male, which is why she was actually not allowed to box, and you know other leagues outside of the olympics and other female leagues, I should say because the testosterone was too high for what was acceptable, for essentially being fair in the sport.
00:23:13.126 --> 00:23:26.615
But all that said and this is almost always the case with these intersex kids are almost always assigned female because the vagina is there and the testes aren't descended right.
00:23:26.615 --> 00:23:38.865
So it's a lot easier medically and, you know, with plastic surgery, to essentially give them a much more comfortable life, um, regular life, and it's a lot easier to do like actual like.
00:23:38.865 --> 00:23:43.232
This is a case where like, okay, we told you you were a girl.
00:23:43.232 --> 00:23:44.855
We decided you were gonna be a girl.
00:23:44.855 --> 00:23:48.561
You're now 11, 12, starting puberty.
00:23:48.561 --> 00:24:12.907
We are gonna, we are gonna do testosterone suppressants because you've been a girl your whole life growing up and now, if we don't do that, you're gonna start growing a mustache and you're gonna start getting bulky and you're not going to develop breasts like a woman usually would, and so all that said, like there is, and this has like been the case for decades.
00:24:12.968 --> 00:24:15.588
I mean we've been doing this for these kinds of people for a long time.
00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:16.684
Cause it's not a new thing.
00:24:16.684 --> 00:24:19.464
And it's also like and in like.
00:24:19.464 --> 00:24:30.950
More undeveloped countries like these babies present more as a girl you know, just like just like on a glance he'd be like you know nothing between the legs girl.
00:24:31.069 --> 00:24:43.711
Probably, yeah, exactly, in um, places where there's not nearly as much, um, probably affordable medical care for a condition like this.
00:24:44.492 --> 00:25:00.164
It's also usually places where, culturally, um, if this person lived as a male, they would be shunned from society because they wouldn't be able to partake in the same male things and, like I know this is going to be.
00:25:00.164 --> 00:25:36.229
I know people aren't going to be happy about this, but most people understand where I'm coming from, but, like, predominantly, like third party, um, predominantly muslim countries, like, excuse me, it's far easier for these, uh, intersex people to be a female and live the life of as a female for a majority of their lives, until they're older and until they can either, like you know, transition to male or move somewhere where they could get better medical care, just because majority of their lives, until they're older and until they can either, like you know, transition to male or move somewhere where they could get better medical care, just because the culture, the male culture, is going to be a little bit more.
00:25:36.229 --> 00:25:41.208
I mean correct me if I'm wrong, man, you've been to israel, right, you know?
00:25:41.208 --> 00:25:43.097
I mean you've been, you've been in yemen, and stuff like that.
