Episode #7 - Jacqui Duncan, Rucka Rucka Ali, Pokemon Go, Badass Eagles, Jammed Guns

This week, we debate the decision to make Sulu in the upcoming Star Trek movie gay. Surprisingly, one of the biggest critics of the decision comes from George Takei himself—the actor who played the original character—which is surprising because he's gay in real life. Takei wants to see more gay characters, but without changing the existing ones. I disagree, it's 2016, so everyone in 2259 should be gay and Paul Feig should direct. This week I'm joined by the beautiful and talented, Jacqui Duncan. She's an actress, comedian and voiceover artist. And she's in search of a husband because unless she gets a green card, she's being deported back to Australia at the end of this month. She describes her ideal man in this episode, and maybe this is just my ego talking, but it sounds exactly like me. https://www.instagram.com/jacquiduncan/ I'm also joined by Rucka Rucka Ali, who thinks t-shirts grow on trees. There are no free shirts, stop asking. It was a stupid joke. The debate this week is about Pokemon Go: it has over 65 million downloads, so naturally it's going to have its critics. I masterfully debate both sides of the issue, for and against the phenomenon. Speaking of, here's the clip of the guy who falls into a pond while playing Pokemon Go: https://youtu.be/LzPtFz-baMg And here's a news clip about the cop who lodges a bullet into the chamber of a guy who tried to rob him. The 9 News anchor from the episode claims, "this was effective." (Note: the video clip is from TOMO News, not 9 News) https://youtu.be/h77Q0OkWtAM The voicemail number is: 1-562-58-I-RULE (1-562-584-7853). And finally, here are all the sources I used for this episode.
