And other countries are aware of our freedom too, and I wonder how long they're gonna keep the bullshit up in places like China. I wonder how long they're gonna be able to do that. Because you see what's happening in Hong Kong, where Hong Kong is rebelling against the Chinese rule. I was there. While it was happening. When those protests were happening, we had to move the hotel, because it was in this civic area. Whoa. I think it was on Caloombay or something. And I'll be a thousand percent honest, it was so congested and busy there. But if I didn't know there were protests going on, I wouldn't have known. It was, and now it's probably grown a lot, but I mean, it's ongoing. Those people, they got a message and they're not backing down. They're not backing down. What's incredible is it's been going on for months and months and months. It's like a new activity. People are just in the streets, but a lot of people have been shot on video, you know, by cops. And we just watch it. I mean, and it's like, it just happens and it's not a big deal. It's insane. But we definitely have these social liberties and I don't take it for granted. And some of these countries, and then part of me is like, okay, some venues are big, some venues are small. If I make a joke that you don't like, is that going to be run up the flagpole? I don't want to take the chance. I know. It's so interesting. We're at such a strange tipping point culturally in this country and then worldwide, you know? You know, England just had their big elections. Jeremy Corbyn lost, but he did a video where he was saying how he's running for president or whatever it is, prime minister. What is it over there? Prime minister. Yeah. I'm watching The Crown. He said his fucking pronouns. He said my pronouns are him, he. Okay. Can I just put this out there? I'm super pro-trans. I'm pro-fluid sexuality. If you are a straight male, we know your fucking pronouns are him, he. Well, even if you're a gay male, if you're a gay male, your pronouns could be he, him, too. If your pronouns are something or what it looks like you are, I don't think you need to. To me, that feels very white-nighty. He's a fucking beard. He is like 100% white-nighty. It was very cringy and I think a lot of people were like, there's like some borderline people like fuck this guy with this he, him, shit. Your pronouns. You want to say him, they, Zee, whatever? Great. He, him when you're he, him. Everybody, you know? It's just such a thing, a ploy, you know? My pronouns are he, him. Oh, no, you didn't. You fuck your 60 years old. Because what it does, it gets other people. It gets other, it's such a valid thing for other people and then it makes people eye roll just a little bit and then I think it takes away from the plight, the genuine cause of the trans community. Yeah. Which fully supportive of. Yeah, if you want to be called she or her, fine. I identify. I'm not down with the made up words. The made up words all go fuck themselves. The zur and zeegs. Well, also, you wouldn't know unless someone told you. Like, don't get mad at me for not innately knowing that I should have said. You should have asked. Lee. You should have asked the pronouns. No, you got to tell me. No, no, you have to ask. That's the new rule. You should, you must comply.
