I don't know if I want to like jerk off in between like CNN and Business Insider. I look at Twitter so infrequently now because every time I look at it, it seems to be fighting. It's exhausting. Arguing and... You know what helped me? Because I was like this special and I loved your special because like you acknowledge you're like, I'm gonna get in trouble for this. Like you're gonna be so like that was just so fucking smart. When I was writing this special, it's the first time I ever done one where I started cutting bits because I was like, it's just not worth the fighting. I don't even want to fucking deal with it. You know, like I had this whole bit on Marilyn Monroe and how I don't think she's like, I feel like she's being forced on us as like a feminist icon. Like all my girlfriends are like posting like photos of Marilyn Monroe being like, you know, always show up two hours late, keep a man waiting. I'm like, this woman is a fucking asshole. She's a slob. And why do I why she's not my glorious dynamite? And I just had this whole bit and I was like, oh, they're gonna say I don't like women and I'm shaming slut shaming. I just think it's not even fucking worth it. Well, she's a weird one, right? Because she fucked everybody, which is not bad. It's not bad to fuck everybody, but she fucked everybody. And apparently that's the real conspiracy is that the Kennedys had her killed because she was banging JFK and then she was banging RFK. And apparently she loose lips, sinks ships. Yep. Can't do it. Yapping a lot. And look, I'm gorgeous, good for her for making my back then making money the way you had to. I just let's let her be what she was. Why? Why? I think that she that Hedy Lamarr should get the credit that she gets. You know, I mean, you talk about heading. Oh, yeah. Well, Hedy was a fucking genius. Badass. She was a legitimate genius. Nobody gives a shit. I know. Responsible for Wi-Fi. People use Wi-Fi mostly to Google Marilyn Monroe quotes. If Hedy Lamarr came back to life, she'd be like, so did my invention, did it ever come of anything? We'd be like, yeah, good news, bad news. We mostly use it to Google the horror version of you. No, I don't. I don't. It's it's I love Marilyn Monroe. Like, I just feel like there's this thing now where, you know, women, we can't criticize any woman ever or else that we get in trouble, you know. And I think we have to be able to call people. Like I say in my special, I talk about the difference between women that are. Does anyone have any girlfriends that think they're feminists, but they're actually just assholes, you know? That's so true. And I know that I'm going to get shit for it.
