The Bird & The Bear - Session 48

Dimes In The Dozen

“You got them Meghan Trainor farts” - The Dimes start the show off with their weekly life updates - Daryl struggles to remember exactly what he did over the weekend and it sparks a quick discussion about the way your time seems to slip away when it isn’t structured - Sammy shares some happenings with his union job and it quickly leads into a passionate discussion about the part-time Vs. full-time dichotomy - Sammy goes into a deep tangent about the negative affects of the “work-life” philosophy within capitalism

“Pick a classification, they’re having affairs and abortions” - The Dimes discuss Ron DeSantis Vs. Donald Trump - One of Trump’s biggest strengths over DeSantis is his ability to walk the line of “will he, won’t he” - DeSantis’ biggest weakness is trying to verbally “out Trump, Trump” - Not to mention the huge failure of DeSantis’ Twitter Space announcement - Did Elon Musk platform Trump’s biggest rival in the primaries because Trump refuses to return to Twitter?

“He inadvertently turned it into 4chan” - The Dimes discuss Elon Musk’s Twitter - The discussion starts with a tangent into the quality of Tesla vehicles and that leads into a deeper conversation around the “right to repair” - Elon has given everyone the “right to manipulation” with the new Twitter verification process - Verification used to provide a proverbial dam that made it easier to digest the discourse amongst influencers, now it’s just chaos for the sake of chaos

“Can you imagine being like, a two pump baby” - The Dimes react to a conversation between Matt Walsh & Jordan Peterson - Most of Walsh’s “fact based” discussions are just commentary based on feelings - As fans of Peterson’s work back in 2018, it’s sad to see him turn into a transphobe when he spent so much time saying he would respect the community - A platform rooted in fighting “compelled speech” starts to fail when you discredit the humanity of a community and confuse the voices of the masses as a “woke mob”
