Episode notes
Speaker 1
Well, so here's the
Speaker 2
thing is I want everyone in Missouri to vote for Josh Hawley. He's rock solid. But this is actually how you do, not Liz Cheney, that's how you do conservative outreach. Hold the press accountable. We're not asking for much. You don't have to do this fake Liz Cheney BS. Just a flesh wound. Hold the press accountable. That's a novel idea. It's not a bad idea for this guy, Kunz.
Speaker 1
We are not advocating for that. Yeah. Vote for Josh Hawley, but enjoy the moment. Yeah. Ryan,
Speaker 2
we're glad you're okay. We're
Speaker 1
glad you're okay. Is this one of your journal buddies? You can send him a get well card? I don't know him. You
Speaker 2
were crying in your office when you saw this. Is that what happened, Ashbrook? You're like, my poor journal buddies.
Speaker 3
They work so hard. He came to us, tears in his eyes. I don't know him but abigail jackson who works with josh hawley has been tweeting about this non-stop and it's just been so great they had a video i don't think we have this video but they had a video of of kunst kunst kunst kunst the dunce walking out walking out of his event and they're trying they, like, do you support Kamala Harris? And he just won't say anything. They're just in that guy's head like nobody's
Speaker 1
business, and that's why Holly's going to win. You'll love to see it. You'll love to see it. All right. Well, we've got to get to some of this variety here because it's really incredible stuff. First story we got here, again, from the New York Post. The New York Post really delivering. It's this time of year getting close to the election, and they're just putting up just fire content. Headline is, Women's Soccer Club embroiled in trans controversy after team fielded two, quote, bearded guys. Women's
Speaker 2
soccer team. Can we first get the graphic of... Oh, A couple of the gals have to play soccer. That's not subtle. That is not subtle.
Speaker 4
I
Speaker 2
love how it's gotten to the point where they're like, we know these clowns have cornered themselves into being like, yes, we support trans rights. You don't even have to put on a wig or anything.
Speaker 1
Zero effort. The club asserts that they're both transitioning and that one of them scored one of the winning goals. Who would have thought?
Speaker 4
Yeah, amazing. I
Speaker 1
think the most important thing in this. But transitioning from what to what? Because
Speaker 3
wouldn't shaving the beard be a part of the look? They
Speaker 1
don't want to put it in that. They're like, I'm here for the win. The story says they're transitioning from female to male.
Speaker 4
Okay.
Speaker 1
Which I don't understand. So they get to be on testosterone? Wait, but it's a women's team. Right.
Speaker 4
So they are women on performance-enhancing drugs. Yes. That's what they are. Testosterone is a performance-enhancing drug. So you're allowed to
Speaker 2
do that and still compete in women's as long as you're
Speaker 4
transitioning identify
Speaker 2
as a male i'm allowed to plan one this is why americans are so pissed off about this this is why kamala uh tried to lie on when she was questioned about the trans thing of how trump is running these ads which are working of like you know kamala's for they them trump is for you that ad is working over 70 percent of americans believe men or or you know people with beards shouldn't be allowed to to compete in women's sports and so when kamala harris has been running on this far left position on this for so long now they don't know what to do but
Speaker 3
have you stopped to think about whether this is the first step toward enhanced athletics? Toward the sort of like steroid-fueled sports that we've been hoping for here at the Ristless program?
Speaker 2
I'm okay with the enhanced games of like, you know, juice them up, take whatever roids you want, as long as the doctor is there, making sure your heart doesn't explode. But this is just like, come on. Like, this is just an affront to everything of that. They are now saying we identify as a male, are on performance-enhancing drugs, but we want to compete on the women's team. It seems like you really just don't want any rules.
Speaker 4
Don't you think they'd do so great on the men's team if they just switched over? I mean, this is the giveaway, right? You perform where you can score winning goals because you're on testosterone. We need some guidelines.
Speaker 1
I just want to know if it's DraftKings, if it's FanDuel, where can I find Club Esportiu Europa and put a wager on this team? Yeah, you made a killing during the
Speaker 2
Olympics. I did. Was that boxer?
Speaker 1
I don't think we ever talked about that. Yes. Good for you. put a futures bet on the transgender boxer to beat all of the women which seemed like a pretty obvious thing that was gonna pay and yes i made money doing that what
Speaker 4
a fucked up olympics yeah combat sports yep
Speaker 1
put
Speaker 4
everybody together you know yeah that's fine yeah
Speaker 1
okay you ready to hear about the the world conquer championships here yeah
Speaker 3
what is what is that well it's a british
Speaker 1
british here. It's chestnut whacking, apparently. And they had a little bit of a cheating scandal. I
Speaker 2
was going to say have those dudes compete in this if they really want to transition.
Speaker 1
Organizers of the nutty annual event said that Dave Jackins, a veteran competitor nicknamed King Conker, did not use a steel chestnut to conquer his rival. generations of British schoolchildren involves players using conkers, the glossy brown seeds of the horse chestnut tree threaded onto a string to try to smash their opponent's chestnut. More than 2,000 conkers enthusiasts entered the annual competition in the village of Southwick in central England. Wow. It's not a sport.
Speaker 3
This isn't a sport. It's not a sport, okay? It's not a sport. And now we know why the British Empire has fallen across the globe. Truly,
Speaker 4
not since George Washington has there been such a British nut crushing. We have seen here.
Speaker 1
Unbelievable. MK off the top rope.
Speaker 4
That's why he's the father of our conkers. Well,
Speaker 1
so I guess investigators said they used film and photo evidence and took testimony from judges and umpires and concluded it'd be nearly impossible for Mr. Jackens to have swapped his conkers unnoticed. So at least it was a fair game of conkers.
Speaker 2
I mean, I'm going to go with mk they should they should play the championship on the fourth of july to commemorate and celebrate their nuts getting crushed this
Speaker 4
is what they deserve where did this allegation come from was it a jeffrey goldberg uh on source someone important told me that there was a metal conqueror.
