We all used to love Disney, at least. And now, Disney is in a real, real tough place. They're coming out with flop after flop after flop. We've recently been reacting to Star Wars, the acolyte, and you can tell something is wrong. And I know many times in watching this show, I've noticed the record rates of diversity we're seeing on the Disney screen, and apparently that is no coincidence because a Disney executive, specifically a vice president over at Walt Disney Company, is saying that Disney actively discriminates against white people, and is basically saying, "We don't need the white man. We don't need our usual suspects working at Disney. We're gonna get into all that and more today, because we knew this about Disney, and they have a long history of doing things like this. And you know what? Disney keeps getting just punched and punched and punched in this fight against the company, and at this point, we should call the fight. You know, when you're watching UFC or something like that, you're like, "Reth, call the fight. Just break it up, break it up." At this point, at this point, the final nail is in the coffin. It seems to be the case with Disney, although it keeps sticking around, so we're gonna talk about that today. Before we do, I must introduce Taylor in Nashville. Hey, happy Friday. Yeah, very glad to be here and glad I am not trying to advance my career in Hollywood or at Disney specifically as a white male. It seems like, by their own admission, that is not a very encouraging prospect. So glad to be here. It is a tough time to be you, Taylor. I'm doing charity work right now. And having Taylor on this show, because apparently, he is nowhere to be found at Disney headquarters, which interestingly enough, this news is coming from a white man by the name of Michael Jordan. Oh, I hope I pronounced his name correctly. We'll get to know him a little bit more in this video. This was all released and exposed by Project Veritas. And you know what? I questionable methods here. They, what they do is they find people who they want to investigate, who work at these companies. And they find them on dating apps like Hinge and Tinder and all this stuff. And they send the employees of Project Veritas, female employees in this case, to match up with them on Hinge and go on dates. And then these dates get recorded. And that's where they find out this information. So that kind of sucks. I'm gonna go ahead and put that out there. I really do feel for this guy. Dating is already a vulnerable place to be in when you're out on the old marriage market trying to find somebody who you connect with. And to go on a date with somebody and then have that date filmed so that they can release information about the company that you work for and threaten your job is very, very difficult. So I don't know. I have a personal long history with Project Veritas in ways that one might not expect, which we're not going to get into today. So I just had to mention the methods towards getting this information are questionable. But the information is here, nonetheless. So we are going to react to it and comment on what's happening. This guy specifically, as I said, works for Walt Disney Company. And he has the Senior Vice President and a team lead. So let's hear what he has to say. Certainly there have been times where, you know, there's no way we're on a way helpful. It's kind of unspoken. There are times where it's spoken. But what they say it. No way we're hiding away from this one. Like straight to you. Okay. They'd be very careful how they message that to agents. According to these videotapes, Disney blatantly discriminated against whites, white men in particular. I'm sort of like well prepared for him. I'm well positioned for it. Right. As far as Disney's concerned, a whole white girl. That's not who they're looking at promoting. As a white guy, even Michael is his own doubts about the possibility for advancement for himself at Disney. In fact, Michael actually got to experience Disney's discrimination against white males first hand. You know, I've been in the company 11 years now. So I have friends in HR and I have friends in the division. So they're like, look, nobody else is going to tell you this life. But they're not considering any white males for a shot. They even passed over a qualified half black person for a promotion because they didn't look black enough. We wanted to hire somebody in the department a few years ago now. I wish I had black, but didn't like hear black rip, rip. I feel so bad for this too. But at the same time, what the hell? And you got to understand that like he's an employee, albeit an executive employee. So I don't know how, you know, involved he is in this process of promoting the discrimination that's happening. It seems like throughout his discussions in this, he feels some type of way about it and negatively about it. But it's sort of in this position of I'm just going to sit back and experience this because I have my job. I've been here for over a decade and I don't want to, you know, ruffle any feathers and put myself in a bad position. But who is some real bad information being shared here? I mean, we knew Disney was doing it, but it's another thing to hear it out of the mouth of an executive and to hear it in words that are not beautiful, like diversity, equity and inclusion, because you hear these things and you think, Oh, well, that must be a positive thing that they're doing taking on DEI and, you know, in promoting inclusivity at Disney and a ton of diversity at Disney diversity is always great. We love, you know, variants in the people who are around us. And that's a wonderful thing to do. But when you hear that it's actually, we're not going to hire white men for this job or we have a half black candidate, but he doesn't look like he's half black. So we can't take him on at Disney. That's insane. So it's a whole nother ballgame to hear what is actually happening in the practice of diversity, equity and inclusion. And it's not looking good for Disney. No, I do feel bad for this guy. He can't catch a break because on one end at his actual job and in his career, he's being denied opportunities for advancement. He's kind of got to just bite his tongue if he sees things that he don't sit well with him. He's got to play along with the ideology that is the prevailing standard at his company. And then on the other hand, even though he doesn't seem to be fully bought into it, he's just trying to get out there and have a pursue a relationship in his life. And then a journalist comes not really aiming at him, but trying to expose his company. He's just caught up in the middle of this on both sides of it. So I do feel bad to some extent. You could always argue that, Hey, if you really don't feel, or if you really feel some type of way about all of this, then maybe on principle, you should stand up and not just be complicit in everything. But I guess that's that's a tough ask for someone in his position. But we asked you guys, if you think it's okay for a journalist to fake date someone to try to expose their company. So far, 55% of you are saying no, it's not okay. 45% say yes. So you think the end justifies the means. Yeah, it's tough because when you think about it, like a lot of our best journalism is done through undercover acts of just infiltrating a place and gaining that information and then coming out on the other end of it. It I think what's different about this, or maybe what makes us feel differently about it is because it's such a personal setting to be on a day and be in such a vulnerable position where you're sharing things. It's not like this person went and got a job at Disney where they're working undercover amongst all the other executives and things like that. It's a little different when you like personally seek out somebody. But I understand, you know, Disney is forward about the fact that they're doing this to a certain extent, but they're sort of veiling what they're doing in this beautiful language and you kind of have to resort to certain methods to get this information out to the public so they know what's actually going on. So it's something that I like I teeter on. I understand why it's happening, but me personally, I don't know that I'd be able to do anything like this ever, ever. And apparently this guy went on multiple dates with Project Veritas operatives, if that's what we're going to call them. That would suck. Dude, imagine you're on a date with somebody. They're just consistently asking you questions about your job and you're like, wow, this woman is so interested in what I do. Like, this is so great. She so invested in me. Like, she really pedestalizes what I do for a career. I've worked so hard at this career and come to find out that she's just trying to expose your company. Oh, rough guy. Do you think someone asked, do you think he'll have a job on Monday? I mean, I don't know. I think it'd be an even worse look if Disney fired him for this. But at the same time, he's got to be under some serious heat right now. But I think at the very least, the general public is not necessarily making him the bad guy in all this. He's just kind of the mouthpiece, the window, the fascinating window, window into this world. People aren't necessarily judging him for it. They're just judging the company that he represents and is caught up in. Right. He is just the messenger. And funnily enough, they've now moved his office to the staff closet. I have a feeling they're going to make his life living hell wherever he's working instead of firing him. But we shall see, we shall see. There was a creative executive. Like, that's not what they wanted. They wanted somebody in meetings who were here a certain way. And he wasn't going to bring that. I mean, it kind of feels like where, at some point, there's going to be a lawsuit. That's not how he was just because of. And that is a lawyer talking. So how does Disney explain pushing these discriminatory practices? They use code words and buzzwords. I'm guessing that there is a acceptable code words and buzzwords that are used to explain what they're looking for. They might say something like, you know, we're not, we're not looking at like the usual suspects for this job, enough. So it's like not like a legally actionable thing. Like everybody knows what it means. They, you know, writers and actors here all the time, like, you know, looking to hire writers and actors who bring diversity. I'm not looking to bring on any more clients who are there.

Welcome to the Disney tapes. My name is James O'Keefe standing here in Burbank, California outside Disney corporate headquarters. This is our first part in a series about blatant discrimination and woke policies at the Walt Disney Company. To say that the Disney Company has had a tumultuous five years, well that would be an understatement. Major box office flops a losing battle with the state of Florida and a stock that is one of the worst performers on Wall Street and as you'll probably conclude from this report as well as recent shareholder rumblings. Almost all of Disney's recent failings are as a result of Bob Iger and the cast of characters here at Disney. They're trying to force woke DEI policies into every aspect of Disney's vast media empire. You know it's everywhere, man. So now that you know that they're doing it with the employees because they're actively discriminating against white people and sort of trying to put their their little pawns in the best positions as far as how they look and having people of color and having women and things like that. We've been of course keeping up with Disney and everything that they've been releasing and it stinks. It stinks. Oh brother, this guy stinks. The different shows they're putting out. What have we watched so far? So we did the Star Wars the Acolyte which is like Disney, Lucasfilm. Not great, not great whatsoever. We watched the new like Peter Pan and Wendy and that was full of diversity plus like flipping on its head the sort of patriarchal past that they saw in the original Peter Pan with the lost boys who are now the lost boys and girls and they them and Wendy's a girl boss and she saves herself and it doesn't matter. Little Mermaid which was arguably not a box office flop. I believe that movie did quite well but also flipped on its head. The patriarchal past of the Little Mermaid and Prince Eric actually saving Ariel because Ariel can save herself. They've had many a new Star Wars show that's come out. One recently featuring they them pronouns in it and that's not Star Wars the Acolytes. This is a different Star Wars project and that one flopped as well. The laundry list is on and on and on and on and on. Snow White which was supposed to come out this year has not come out because they I guess with from all the backlash had to go back into the the the shopping recut and move around and try to flip the script on everything because the press for Snow White went so horrendously in sort of cluing into people what they were going to do with this film that they had to don't take it back take it back to the editors I think and if that's ever going to come out who knows I think they said 2025 now which we shall see. I think they had to go re input the dwarves back in through CGI and all that stuff because instead of the dwarves they did the seven magical diversity hires of all different colors of all different genders and it was just a strange rewrite of a very classic film and Disney has just completely lost the plot when it comes to what Disney was made for what Disney's vision was in creating Disney and the only reason I think Disney still has the name that it has and why it's still around and why we're still talking about it is it sort of grandfathered into the zeitgeist and the cultural space by virtue of being around for so long and by having those classics that sort of lie on the foundation of Disney but if you were judging Disney based off of what they put out and what the last ten years it wouldn't be relevant let's be honest it would not be culturally relevant it's just because of what Walt Disney did in the past that we're even talking about Disney now to be honest. Yeah and this is not necessarily new information either so I want to say like well they have to be doing this kind of sleuthy gorilla journalism to be able to get them to be able to expose what they're doing but we've had leaks or other instances where they've even had encoded in their inclusion diversity standards of what they require in order for a product to be made to come out of Disney in today's day and age. I'm looking at one here this is their general entertainment inclusion standards. On-screen representation is a big piece of this yeah you've got it right there. Actors 50 percent or more of actors have to be underrepresented groups the characters have to come from underrepresented groups the premise of the entire series has to have underrepresented groups in their themes and narratives and then it's not just what you see in the product itself it's also in terms of the creative who's writing it the leadership that's over these casting directors producers writing staff have to be from underrepresented groups and put those themes in the content even the production designers and people who are just assistants on set composers of music costume designers editors they also need to come from underrepresented groups and even the interns down to that they need to come from underrepresented groups so this company is clearly seeped in this ideology from head to tail and it's showing up in the products and just by definition if your overall focus is not carrying on the legacy of the transcendent amazing storytelling that really resonated with well that's what I people emphasize so much this idea of well people aren't going to resonate with our stories if they don't see themselves or if we don't represent all these groups or infuse all that into our writing and everything else that we do but you know stories like The Lion King a bunch of animals running around tapped into the history of western canon with Shakespeare's Hamlet was a lot of the story was modeled after that and then they put like the the archetypal hero's journey that is relatable to all of humanity and it typifies the sort of depth and richness of what all we've learned about being human and and represented that to everybody and you can be inspired by it that is inclusive that's more inclusive than just having you know diversity quotas and girl boss story arcs and things you know jammed into these stories and it becomes reductive it becomes boring because they're telling the same story over and over again is this oppressor oppressed narratives and everything and this isn't necessarily new information i guess i'm trying to say if you've watched ball of Disney for the last decade or so you've seen this just take over an increasing measure and yet to hear it from the horse's mouth from somebody who's saying yeah this is actually happening inside the company even to me and he's complicit in it is certainly a crazy development i think it's capturing everybody's attention even though we knew it in the first place definitely and if you're watching Disney projects and you're like it feels like the story came you know very last on the list of things that we were prioritizing on this project it's because it literally is if you are showrunning something like this or you know you're in uh the writer's room with the showrunner you're an intern for a writer in the writer's room with the showrunner and we first have to focus on how many diversity points we have on this project in every single department before it's green lit and gets off the ground you don't have any time for storytelling at the end of that and by the time you do it's already been infiltrated by all this ideology that that's the forefront of the story and not the actual characters and the character arc that they go on so it's no wonder why we're watching these Disney projects and being like where even is the story in this i feel like i'm just getting a ton of messaging and left-leaning messaging at that i think we did get a fifty dollar super chat so we're going to read that immediately here it's from jeffrey jackson he says i guess it's good that tyler isn't looking for a job at disney appreciate what you guys are doing i don't know if taylor just auto-corrects in apple to tyler when people i think it's hard to correct people's brains because it's so similar and it's happened since i was like grade school but you know it's so funny i like that jeffrey jackson you were willing to even make a statement uh yes mentioning me even if you misnamed me i'm not going to get offended like when people get mischitter exactly exactly we're not going to call the language police on you and yeah luckily tyler tyler is not looking for a job at disney because i have a feeling that would not go too well for him let's keep watching what used to be a highly profitable company by being the gold standard of family entertainment has taken a sharp downturn yeah i mean like look at these old disney films i'm gonna put them in full screen real quick you have like phantasia and dumbo alison wonderland peter pan lady in the tramp these were amazing uh the aristocrats the jungle book for a lot of these films now if you go to disney plus to watch them and you click on the title and you start watching disney will give you a disclaimer that says you know back and when these movies were made we realize that they hold within them racial stereotypes and acts of discrimination i'm paraphrasing here of course and disney essentially says you know we apologize for these racial stereotypes that we put in our movies now you know like please enjoy the film and recognize that this is no longer a part of of disney's vision i believe that exists in at least on this screen the aristocrats has it i believe maybe jungle book as well aladdin most definitely has it and maybe peter pan i believe for its portrayal of native americans in the movie as well so instead of recognizing that like disney is the powerhouse that it is because of these classics it apologizes for the classics before you watch them with which tells you everything you need to know about where disney is at right now as a company and in the wake of all of its wokeness under ceo bob eiger's leadership disney's downfall likely started with the insane hiring practices amongst its executives and creative teams one of their top senior vice president's claims that they're not only discriminated against white men when recruiting and hiring middle management they actually give bonuses for hiring and retaining employees that are specifically not white according to these videotapes disney blatantly discriminated against whites white men in particular not a week goes by without a news headline about potential medical supply shortages we're gonna see a lot of ewc kit today when you use department okay omg you know we have a diversity equity inclusion department who's very involved in like setting standards to make sure that they know she is happy for a city doing like bob has this oh i i can't i can't emphasize how bad i feel for this guy because i feel like even during the date like he knows what he's saying is vulnerable information so he's kind of looking over his shoulder for when the waitress comes and he's talking so as to not have her over here what he's saying about disney meanwhile he's being filmed the whole time i can only imagine at least right now he would feel like his life is ruined by this the amount of like struggles you would have with your job the amount of meetings that he's probably sitting in right now to discuss how they come back from this the the pr team is working overtime at disney right now the trust issues that you would now develop uh from being on dating apps and having this happen to you not once but multiple times multiple women we're filming it i do feel bad i can't help it i can't help it i mean what does it say too about the state of our world and the state of disney the state of hollywood that a guy like brian peck who was yeah convicted of molesting a child actor uh and put in prison now is back in that industry i think he's at nickelodeon now it's across the street over there but he could know he was a nickelodeon he was it and then he moved to disney he's back at disney oh yeah he was a nickelodeon now is that disney yes i'll hire somebody who a convicted child rapist and yet somebody like this who just tells the truth in a very like you know incognito hush hush looking over his shoulder kind of manner um but no we gotta end torpedo this guy and end his career he's a pariah because he's speaking against the dei orthodoxy just give me a break man it's awful yeah it's awful the state of the the the political and economic state of the world guys can we just talk about the political and economic state of the world some of you will know what that references say and the diversity stuff when they're casting people like heart of the state he gives the director for each show for me not that specifically don't like you know hey i want that i want to have a really show i would definitely sustain justice i agree even as a chief diversity officer now up until recently that was latandra newton who played a big part in dragging disney full bore and to its losing culture war by promoting discriminatory hiring practices and introducing gay lesbian transgender non-binary and other characters into disney's children's animated series in films at some point you got to get suspicious i'm gonna like girl why you keep asking me all these questions you're getting all these specific with these questions so she's like can you tell me who the head of hr is who is telling you how to you know assure these ideas forward how many black people do you actually employ how many of your executives are gay i'd like okay it's getting a little sus now you're asking a few too many questions that's the killies heel of uh men i guess you know you get an attention from a woman you're not thinking about all that your guard is down you're just like oh she likes this she's impressed by my job let me tell her more i'm like how hot must these project veritas journalist babies must be girls must be smoke shows if they're getting these guys to just answer these questions without any suspicion whatsoever that's crazy crazy i think we did get another super chat taylor if you want to read that okay let's see it says sorry oh it's Jeffrey again sorry taylor that's almost as bad as mispronouncing omele's name anyway maybe a second super chat will make up for it nice weekend thank you Jeffrey i wasn't holding anything against you in the first place wasn't necessary but thank you very much and i know you'll you'll remember me as taylor in the future that is uh that's too kind Jeffrey thank you so so much okay let's continue watching now we're getting to be lgbtq agenda that we know disney has because we've also covered this on the show and we have more videos to substantiate that because i thought i forgot the lady's name um she's the hooter oh i know you're talking about that as the person yep the african-american lady yeah that is that like kind of part decided she oversees a lot of that for sure um it but it's pretty broad i would say to other people in HR who have such well as all that i would say a relatively large percentage of our top writer creators happen to be dark and a lot of just what happens to i mean like just like if you say whatever i know whatever 10 or 15 percent of the population is there how to guess they 30 to 35 percent of our top writers maybe you know day and so i've provided them hanging in to train stories for more than for straight writer wood and in an odd twist you have to be a white jewish guy to be considered for a c-sweet job more on that next week but now let's meet los angeles based michael jordano a white male and walt disney senior vice president of business affairs i do um like business affairs like negotiations for for television oh okay gotcha nice that's really cool i really got a creative side you know it's a lot of it is um you know like knowing like the field agreements and the union agreements and everything like make offers for the writers and the actors we're gonna be out working on the show and the producers and directors and try to like you know get to a place where we can pose a deal with them help to production to budget and so much of my job is just giving the to negotiate road and then other people are doing kind of everything of the contrast so oh wow so yeah what's the negotiating like i'm like sitting down and trying to figure out okay you know what what are we gonna what are we gonna pay this act if we just roll um what do we think they want what you know oh wow kind of strategize that oh wow that's so fascinating can you repeat that again and just lean in a little bit closer so i want your i want your face and shot i mean i want to see your face more when you're talking to me you're so cute that is awful awful awful awful awful awful awful anyways okay we're gonna go into further clips from uh disney disney at this meeting where they did this whole like reimagine tomorrow meeting where they were like you know we want to reimagine what we're gonna do with disney in the future here and gay gay gay lesbian this trans that non-binary that and they had a ton of their executive sort of get together to share their own personal stories about this and uh a lot of them spoke about having trans children or non-binary children and saying i want those stories to be told in disney we do have some clips just so you can see that this has been going on for quite some time it's like i love disney's content i grew up watching you know all of the classics they have been a huge like informative part of my life but at the same time like i work at small studios most of my career and i'd heard you know you hear whispers like i'd heard things like oh you know they won't let me show this at a disney show and i'm like okay so i was a little like sus when i started and but then my experience was bafflingly the opposite of what i had heard on my little pocket of like you know proud family disney tva um the showrunners were super welcoming meridith roberts and like the our leadership over there has been so welcoming to like my like not at all secret gay agenda and so like i i feel like i felt like it was i mean like maybe it was that way in the past but i guess like something must have happened in the last like like they're turning it around they're going hard and yeah something must have happened with your not at all so secret gay agenda you couple that with leisley headblin who is the showrunner and director of star wars the acolyte saying that this is going to be a queer story in fact it is the gayest star wars uh to be made today come on there and and yet disney says we're not entering the culture war we're not trying to be political bob iger says oh you know we're scaling back on uh our cultural commentary in fact disney is not even a part of the political landscape that's not what disney for let's think again because it does seem like that is exactly what you're doing it seems like that's exactly what you think you're for and disney used to ask itself this important question and is it should kids be exposed to this is this disney's job even if you had a sort of political or ideological bend uh within disney is it my position to put that in front of children for their entertainment and for their viewing the eyes are largely the window to the soul and for kids that is more and more important every single day and disney used to believe that it was not their position to put that in front of kids in fact disney's position was to put fun entertaining material that had deeper human truths about family and friendship and struggle and adversity and overcoming and learning about oneself that was the job of disney no more now it's like gay this trans that racialized this equity that diversity this inclusion that and the deeper human truths that disney once tapped into a fallen by the wayside which leads to the box office flops and the lack of classics and the fact that disney is no longer what it once was we're going to continue watching michael and project veritas and see what he's got to say everything from how you reduce the show how you distribute the show or you exhibit a show are you not really sure things like that all of the negotiations and you're okay yeah one well actually two of our brave undercover journalist and american swiper investigative reporters met michael on the dating app hinge and aside from this story which focused on disney's overt discrimination against white men you'll see later on in this report and it'll be quite entertaining michael turns out to be quite the ladies man leave michael alone hashtag justice for mike this is good maybe it's my feminine sensibility but this is kind of a little mean you know it's funny you know let's dig right into disney's blatant practices of discrimination if you're wondering how disney is a company looks at race gender and discrimination and the hiring process about how they recruit and hire talent look no further i think there are times when they're not so fine center it's like great because that's the focus you know we have we have so many shows where we're casting and we're like yeah we're not even gonna see you know certain people for it because we leave that to the world to yeah until so is it is it intentional that they want like they're they only look for diverse candidates for certain roles yeah i think there's certainly a belief that it's just good for society but there's also a belief that like we're going to make more money but we appeal to a variety of people and it's a good thing because we have shared all those two you know and so diversity helps with that diverse yeah so it's interesting because like outside of disney which a lot of this playing can be placed on disney for implementing the discriminatory practices but it's kind of institutionalized and reinforced in several ways you have esg that it gives them a better placement of better financial position for making these choices and discriminating against white people you have other institutions that are reinforcing these ideas like the academy saying that we won't even consider films and projects for the oscars and other awards if you do not meet a certain diversity standard and we'll be looking at the actors we'll be looking at the storylines and the plot lines of these pieces that you're creating and judging them based not on the structure of the story and what you're communicating and how well you communicate that but on the diversity points that you get and of course there's a million other instances and examples for how this is reinforced externally so disney is just one little piece of a much larger machine that is pumping out this ideology i mean we can think of tons of different places that have their own dei office uh you know we have federal agencies that now have their diversity equity and inclusion officers and administrators you have companies like disney coca cola mx city bank all these larger yeah bowing ibm you have your colleges where now you can go to college and go to the diversity equity inclusion office and speak to your administrator there it is just increasing tenfold in all different facets of our society and they just feed into one another to create this larger structure that pushes forward these things and when you see it in films and entertainment you pointed out you're called the racist you're called the bigot but it's so obvious that they're saying it just right in front of your face yet we're not supposed to acknowledge it i was watching star wars the acolyte and i keep going back to this because this is their most recent project that's getting all the buzz but you watch and you go there's a lot of diversity in this there's like they're they're really shoving this down our throat quite a bit here yet you get called the races for pointing it out because people will go well what's the problem with all the diversity i'm saying there's not a problem with it don't get me wrong you're just forcing it and it feels so forced that now i'm not sure what i'm supposed to get out of what i'm watching right now and it's really quite genius that they can do something that is seemingly benign but it's also so nefarious on the back end of it because if you acknowledge it you look insane you look like you hate Asians or black people or women for saying this doesn't seem right and i feel like it's being forced on me a little bit because how dare you say that people of color are being forced on you or gay people are being forced on you or trans people are being forced on you meanwhile in their executive board meetings they're saying how can we get more gay people in there how can we promote our not so secret gay agenda how can we shove more black people on the screen and how can we stop hiring the usual suspects meeting white people yet you're called a little lunitoon with tinfoil hat for saying that this is what they're doing bs b so for real right now

linkedin the place to be to be. The diversity isn't necessarily the problem but it the forced diversity is evidence of an agenda and the agenda is what is compromising the quality of the product and compromising the integrity of the stories because again if you have every level of your organization seeped in this one ideology that you have to pay lip service to either like our friend i think his name is Michael here uh is kind of just ducking around it or paying lip service to it or you have to be beating the drum and explicitly putting those themes in your writing etc uh that is going to show up in the product obviously and it's going to come at the expense of something higher and when you're a company like disney that is competitive that is tasked with putting out the best possible content the best possible stories that can be told the best possible stories that resonate with the largest number of people that connect with people in that classical way that that tap into the deepest existential inarticulate elements of being human that speak to that that make people feel like seen and then they can identify with the journeys of the characters and all those different things but when you reduce that to the just surface level characteristics like skin color and race and gender and and sexuality and all these things and then all the that but like force those themes as being the themes that must be uh present and central in all the narratives of your stories it's obviously coming at the expense of something transcendent the great classic stories the ones that we consider classics now and and the billion-dollar franchises like Star Wars came into being at a time that predated this ideology that is now everywhere and uh that is that is what led to the existence of disney itself and the cultural prominence and like you said it's it's been it's grandfathered into that role and now people who don't understand what they have inherited what they are stewarding are using that as a megaphone for their own act and activism and a thin veneer for their own narcissistic ideas to be put into stories with the face of all the the property that you love and the brand that you love and people just aren't buying it anymore no they're not and i know Walt Disney's rolling he's rolling as he's seen these movies come out the poor man you've even heard from previous animators at disney like john musker who was responsible for aladdin and little mermaid to classics that are going to live on for quite some time in my opinion say you know we've really lost the plot we've and i used to make the plot so i know that we've lost the plot and when it comes to disney and he's come out with this very valid criticism and you have writers uh in another aspects of hollywood like george rr or martin and george lucas who now you know lucas film is taken up the uh ip in the the source material that he created with star wars saying wait a second y'all are messing this up and we're saying that star wars needs to be girl-bossified but i wrote that and i know that star wars already had girl bosses because i created them and i did them in a traditional feminine way that still spoke to womanhood but allowed them to be powerful what do you mean star wars needs more feminine shearrows is what they're calling them these days my goodness the city helps with financial incentive so is it like do you think it's more so on that side or using like any good prices i think that's what to use or regardless i think it gives me a little regard but i think that there are like even considered that if people who may not to lean into it can easily make the argument that like we make more money when we appeal we go wider variety of people and that means diverse yeah there's a real focus on every show um and i'm sure the movies too that i don't deal with that side of you know just making sure that the writers role has a real you know diversity it's not just you know not just gender or sexual education in a real city but you know making sure that they're hiring some writers who have certain disabilities but if you're trying to do you know talks is kind of a relief there's a really broad look to try to have over we'll do that action yeah yeah so the talk a big game about it is even crazier is that like these diverse writers room we're turning out the same story over and over and over i thought oh once we made your writers room diverse that we were going to get we were going to get some new stories like what's going on because i i thought i heard a bunch of people of different colors and we're still getting the same color story i don't know what's happening like when uh we watch Wakanda forever for example that movie please please that movie is pedestalizes like look at this wonderful act of diversity look at all the black people look at all the black women look at all the shear rose we're not telling history it's her story oh my gosh and then you watch the movie and all of these black women have the same exact character have the same exact lines that they're saying the same exact personality it's like look at this black woman who is infinitely smart and so powerful and she can fight and no man is stronger than her and no man can challenge her and she's stoic and she's serious and she tells truth to power and she calls it like it is and it doesn't matter you know what age she is every single black female character was the exact same human being in that movie so as much as you're emphasizing diversity and giving us a person who looks different i guess on the screen you are making this like cookie cutter example for every single character that you make and you're not doing anything for black people and giving them one character in with 50 different black faces and then shoving them all in a movie together and saying here's Wakanda forever it's ass it sucks and you remind me now i was like again George George Lucas we watched that clip recently where he's talking about the character of princess Leia and how she really is in many ways the main character the one who fixes everything who gives the strategy and in her femininity in her princessness is still this awesome strong female character but it somehow works and doesn't feel forced you know and i think of uh as a lord of the rings fan there's character aowin who embodies that femininity but also fights and does and it does that role very well but you don't get this sense of like she's this forced girl boss that you get over and over again so it's possible to do a strong female person in in these stories and it come across in a genuine way but again it's the it's the forcing of it and it's the not making it true to reality not letting allow being too afraid to let them have flaws or insecurities or be feminine in any way that is making it not resonate with people and not feel authentic yeah i think about like brilliant animators of course at the forefront of my brain is hyamia zaki and of course i have you know haku tattooed on my arm from from spirited away and i love his movie house moving castle and he writes these brilliant female characters that are just drenched in what girlhood actually is through the animation through their storylines and they have vulnerability if you've seen spirit away spirited away you know chahiro is like this very vulnerable young girl who is going through this journey by herself without her parents to like find her way through the film and through the vulnerability and the crying and the breakdowns and the struggling to you know place her feet on the ground and figure out what's happening she becomes a strong character and that is femininity embodied within animation and you can see that and and recognize that there's something real to it meanwhile with disney every single female character is a girl boss from the moment she's born she's never truly vulnerable she doesn't need no man there's nothing that anybody can do from for her because she knows everything uh she and if she doesn't know everything it's somewhere deep within her brain and she'll have this day-exsex machina moment where it just comes to her and all of a sudden she's able to save herself by the end of the film through no interruption from anybody else and it's just not true to human existence and human life so when you're watching these stories and they feel hollow it's because they are hollow they are completely it's like somebody drilled a hole in the story and drained out all of the actual emotion and vulnerability that comes with real life and then said here's a girl boss and you know what if she doesn't need anything and she knows how to do everything and then she doesn't need me to watch the movie because i'm sure she's got it and i can step out and find somebody else who's actually going to take me on a journey in an arc that i can relate to or at the very least i'm like seeing something real and wondering how it's going to get resolved because it feels real and that's just not the case with the things you're seeing in disney these days especially right now in our year 2024 okay it's just nuts we're gonna watch a little bit more and then we're gonna get into your super chats dei but do they actually do it apparently so they even passed over a qualified half black person for a promotion because they didn't look black enough the um the other situations where we wanted to hire somebody on the bottom a few years ago now um who was half black but didn't like hear half black and um there was a creative executive it was like we're not like that's not that's not what they interviewed logic they had to let him go they wanted to do a new disney soundtrack they said we just we just can't do it he doesn't he doesn't look black he's saying the n-word we gotta let this guy go they wanted the full they wanted somebody in meetings who would hear a certain way and he wasn't going to bring that to the media and so this is like on the this is on the corporate side like the business side never understood that it's like i know a lot like i have like a lot of pop pop friends who like are not as like you know because they care about that or like at the city action they say they don't care about it but the truth is to some extent they do dude uh i i can't he's eating up these questions which is like you're great you're hitting out the park i just wish you were recorded for it it's like funny enough you asked that i actually just saw a black disney executive stab a white man uh during our meeting last week and told him f u whitey that and that happens all the time at disney ask me another question what else you got he's just letting it fly i wonder how much alcohol is consumed on these days this is a question i would just love to like sit in on the process for how these things go because i imagine there's got to be alcohol involved in these and that's why the words are just flying so freely or this guy's just obviously not used to the idea that this is privileged information uh in today's time rough yeah and also that it's almost like he's numb and dead inside from having to live under this idea i'll do for so long that it doesn't seem so facially absurd to him that he was for example passed over for a promotion because of his race or that because they don't that they don't even consider people for certain roles because of their race or someone wasn't considered right enough white enough for a job like in a sane world uh maybe 10 years ago 15 years ago be like this this is crazy yeah we need to get some lawsuits going right now like i'm not going to stand for this i'm not going to stand for being discriminated against on the basis of my race i understand the principle of equality that for our society adheres to and is founded on and i'm not going to stand for this we're going to rebel against it and but now it's like it isn't it funny that we didn't even consider that guy ha ha funny that i got passed over for a job promotion and i may not have a future for my career oh so silly but i deserve it though because you know reparations and my white guilt it's like how he's he's been indoctrinated with this too and it feels like as a society level things that are facially absurd just don't feel as absurd as they should do us yeah that's real that's real it seems seems that way if you're mixed right you don't black at all which sometimes happens yeah i said they're like oh i'm not so sure whoof lucky me but if you're mixed and you was you can tell they're somebody's part black but they're not like fat blacks okay i know that that was so yeah it's crazy but apparently Meghan Markle is black enough you can't make this up so would like Meghan Markle who's pretty white right yeah would she would still be yeah huh as a white guy even michael is his own doubts about the possibility for advancement for himself at disney saying quote as far as disney is concerned i'm a white male now i'm like a half step below a huge apartment i had a team under me but i don't ever see what will part me and i'd like to see whether that's in disney or have it to me damn man is sharing his aspirations while the ops are praying when it's downfall no okay do you think that you'll have opportunity to say it seems like me not anymore but not anymore i'm not sure to be honest with you um i think i'm sort of like well prepared for i'm well positioned for it right um as far as disney's concerned i'm a white male and that's not what who they're looking at promoting them dude that's the life of a white male these days well prepared uh well positioned at least he used to be and you're going down buddy i'm sorry we have affirmative action practices taking place here and unless you have some sort of other identity characteristics i don't know what i'm going to do what are why i'm going to do what are you guys going to what identity marker can you use to like get yourself back up there autism i don't know like what you know i mean you can go the the hairy styles route and just start wearing women's clothes and you know acting kind of in the non-binary way and here you can always identify something on LGBTQIA plus spectrum or even dress up that way and people won't ask questions so that's something to be considered i guess that happened they did that whole like women in tech conference and then a bunch of guys started saying well identify as they then or are my pronouns or she/her and they signed up for this conference and why which is just like it sucks that we're in the space that this has to happen and this is like the way we have to combat these things and you have to go on undercover dates to find this information but here we are in fact michael actually got to experience disney's discrimination against white males firsthand so i would do you think that has lots to do with it a lot but it's something to do with it really yeah um what do you think the competition is well i mean um i've been in a buffer jobs internally against people who have less experience than me and um and you know what you've been done okay and they were given to somebody else do you think it had something to do with their one or two cases you know i was jolary explicitly many days yeah explicitly how what did they tell you i mean i mean i you know i've been in the company 11 years now so i have friends in HR and i have friends in those divisions and they're like look nobody else is gonna tell you this mic but they're not considering any white mouse for a shot mike this is the time we should have the camera out this is the time we should have a camera you should film that shit civil rights violation right there and sued their asses that's what you should have done damn but you didn't have the gumption the gall the audacity it seems to do so which is tough you know you work all your life and especially if you're working in entertainment although he is seemingly in like law and has like a legal background and things like that but disney's up there you know that's that's a that's a giant in order uh in as far as your career is involved it's a big thing on uh the the roster it's a big thing on the resume so i could see a lot of people letting that cloud their judgment as far as what they're experiencing at the company in order to stay there and reap the benefits of their position and i bet a lot of people meet this sort of fork in the road where they can either act on the discrimination that they're experiencing or they can continue and like treasure long and people make the choice to treasure long and largely because the people around them are saying that this is a form of discrimination that is okay and that uh we should be allowed to do this i'm reminded of like the female swimmers and female athletes who remain in these competitions with trans athletes who are dominating and who they know are going to take the first place spot and it's because to speak out is is to have yourself placed in a position of judgment that a lot of people are not ready for and all the people around you are reinforcing the idea that this somehow delusional thing that's taking place is okay plus you've worked your entire life as an athlete to be in the position that you're in and to compete in some of these competitions so it's like do i throw this away to make a statement or do i take second place when i could have had first and just take what i can get from this opportunity that i've worked so hard for and i could see people who are working at disney and amax and coca-cola and wal-mart and all these different places that are doing these things feeling very similarly in meeting this fork in the road and choosing to just put their head down and continue down the path rather than take you know the the uphill battle of trying to fight a corporation like disney because you know they have money to throw at this like nobody's business and i imagine in a lot of instances they'll just outright crush you and that can be a tough thing to make the choice make the choice with we'll watch a little bit more and then we're we're gonna get two superchats and so it's probably fair that disney would say we don't want a white person to play this role yeah i mean i think they're very careful about what they're very careful about messaging because they don't want to get to a discrimination in either direction but certainly there are been times where you know there's no way we're on a way else just kind of unspoken there are times where it's spoken how would they say it no way we're on a way of how much work what they say like straight to you or okay they'd be very careful how they message that to agents in like female or whatever after getting a dose of disney's discrimination himself it seems like michael may have been hit with a reality check that discrimination against people based upon race is probably not cool i mean it kind of feels like where at some point there's going to be a lawsuit okay we'll close out there we feel like at some point there's going to be a lawsuit like i said yeah that civil rights act is uh rear and it's ugly head there if anybody's there to catch it and actually gets these moments the thing is these as he's stating throughout this uh date these companies are very careful about what they say and how they say it so you have to catch somebody in an off-color moment in order to get this through and even then i like i said they will throw money and money and money to make sure that this does not go anywhere i'm sure they have NDA's and settlements and all these different stuff is taking place at uh disney for the sake of not having this come to light although it seems as though it has so here we are we're gonna hear from you guys on this subject here we are indeed various crazy people is our first super chatter today he says female reporter this is awesome free meal and a story i guess so oh if he paid for the dates i'm gonna have that that would be even more awful that's just like taking a paper cut and spilling lemon juice in it that's awful i hope he didn't yeah that's really sad to think about yeah you paid you after all of this you might like lose your career and your life's ruined over this but you paid for the date as well justice for mike guys justice for mike yeah i i think he maybe this will be let's have an optimistic spin maybe this is the beginning of a transformation in his life where he wakes up to the reality that this was craziness that he was around and involved in disney and he needs to turn a new leaf reality we hope right surely that'll be his first thought right big mike buddy you're okay oh no i do feel bad from uh timothy says uh i think i'm a little too young for risa lol but she's very beautiful and seems like a stand-up lady best of luck to her

looking for somebody who's charismatic discipline i want my partner to inspire me and i want to be able to inspire them too i definitely want somebody that enjoys to have fun likes to let loose but at the same time takes care of themselves uh cares about their mental health and their physical health i'm really interested in politics culture i love learning about the truth and what's going on in the world so i would love my partner to also share that interest it would be awesome if he was funny but i also don't want to ask for too much masculinity is really important i think masculinity is someone that's able to solve problems be a protector not a provider necessarily but someone that will always have my back in life and anything that i go through i would describe myself as very fun i love to go out one of my favorite things to do is go to restaurants and try different types of food i would say i'm somewhat eccentric i enjoy listening to debates podcast conversations my favorite podcasts are benjapiro's podcasts sam harris and i also love listening trigonometry i would consider myself a centrist even though i don't like to put labels on things and then i would definitely say i'm non-religious also i have a cat named gram and i know a lot of people say they don't like cats but then when they meet gram they love cats if i had to pick something by the way gram plays fetch fellas and i know this to be true spent a lot of time in gris to live with resets he's basically a dog for all the time people yeah my cats don't play fetch yes gram literally will play fetch he will bring it back to you drop it in your hand and then you can go again red flags that i would look out for number one they don't tip their waitress i don't like that number two if they are messy people that live in chaos tend to be really chaotic and if i can tell that they've been spoon-fed by their parents my red flags are that i am an atheist and i'm voting for trump i don't see those as red flags but i do think the two are not commonly found together i'm single because i feel like there's a lot of facets to my personality and my interest and i haven't quite met somebody that compliments all those parts of me i genuinely feel like i'm a really happy person and i approach life with a lot of positivity and i would love for someone to share that with me one time i did a backflip at a bar and i hit a security guard he was upset i definitely heard his arm he never forgot me we're on good terms now i apologize i am five three and three quarters so i'll be okay with five seven i feel like that's asking a lot less than the rest of the women another red flag that men would consider a red flag but i don't is that i hate coffee dates i do not want to go to a coffee shop during the middle of the day i would i have so many things to do i'm a dinner girl and you're taking me to dinner if a guy is perfect for me but then he says i have to get rid of my cat off with his head what i date and incel i am fascinated by incels i don't want to date it incel but i would definitely make over one i would love to do that just to prove that you were wrong all along all right now that you there you go so you got risa that's her we were like cracking up at the comments that you guys were leaving under this of course all the men whenever a woman is talking about like being single or looking for a man or whatever they come in and they have to say well here's your red flag or here's why i'm passing or whatever i think the the main thing that she got commentary on was saying that uh you're taking me to dinner which is so funny because like at least the the guys who watch this show for the most part i think have a more of a like a provider e masculinity mindset but apparently the you're not taking me on a coffee day we're going to dinner was a no no statement from from risa on that one but no if you want to apply uh the link is uh i think pinned in the chat down below so send in your applications bellis and we'll be uh going through them and hopefully we can get you uh involved in this show and find risa a match right guys it's the worst thing you can find about a girl is that she prefers being taken out for dinner instead of coffee like that's that's on you man yeah you can get over that small hump if she's hitting every other thing that you might want so there you go don't give me this this unwilling to go to dinner if that's the only red flag get out of here and risa's a real one risa's a real one so we'll see what happens all right uh brit bro says i normally don't get to watch your lives i wanted to be an actor and was going to california but glad i didn't considering how bad it is up there yeah i mean i really like being here to be honest there's a lot of if you find good people to enjoy this place with you will have a good time i say it's like at least it's at least worth a shot uh to to try it out but i don't know that i'd be here long term i'm not i'm trying to raise my my family and stuff here i don't think yeah i loved it for the six years i was i was there and it's great for my mid-late 20s season of life um but you know i got got married and moved out and starting starting the next chapter but i'm grateful for my time there the the crappy you know safety and the city and the government the way it's running all that it's just something you kind of have to tolerate or put up with um but there's a lot of positives right as well right i miss my my weekly um all day at the beach playing beach volleyball and all my crew there so uh jeffrey jackson we got him thank you jeffrey for both of those youtube chats niki flash says happy friday guys have you seen the book going around about keeping black children away from snowbunnies it's called stay away from sneaky snowbunnies would love to hear your thoughts is it dr umar did dr umar publish a book i can't i wouldn't know who that is now uh you know who that is now dr umar because of you yeah because he's like a tiktok guy yeah he's always saying stay away from the snowbunnies he wants everybody to date within their race or whatever no i've not heard of that book but uh i can't imagine it's a best seller of any kind but i'm not shocked that that exists the race politics in this country are all over the place so dave man maybe disney will hire him to tell some children stories for real for real it sounds like a disney show it does stay away from snowbunnies yep uh diva dawn says why can't disney girl bosses still be characters like melon pokahanas and bell they were all movie heroines without being woke so amazing i love melon melon is my favorite disney princess of all time and that is a feminist storyline if i've ever seen a feminist storyline literally a woman infiltrating a group of men secretly who are consistently like talking down on women and talking about how they just want them as like property essentially to just like cook for them and they're like side pieces for their aesthetics and for marriage and they invalidate women on their strength and she infiltrates this group of men proves that she is not only as talented them but as smart and as strong as they are and ends up saving their asses and like that's not feminist enough for disney we don't have any disney girl bosses be so for real right now like melon is the pinnacle of a traditional like reasonable feminist arc tragic tragic the most tragically place on earth the uralic tribe says when will disney or someone make a movie about how blacks and turks invaded occupied and colonized enslaved whites in central eastern and bulk in europeans for centuries in the ottoman empire hypocrisy yeah disney's working on that that children's movie right now yeah the the barbery pirates of the mediterranean various crazy people says disney is reimagining the world without europe europe never existed he also says poor michael not only did michael not get laid he is no longer getting paid uh double whammy on that one poor michael no whammy no whammy it's a rough life like i said michael you can come hang out with us be part of our community and get uh i want to say red build because that has different connotations these days but we made a way to the craziness that was at disney and start a new chapter right in your honest new life right i'm rooting for you uh the various crazy people also says white is the new entertainment ebola at disney entertainment ebola well i mean it's ebola with an ampersand at the end of it so i'm guessing that's what okay interesting that's interesting alliteration i mean it does feel like entertainment ebola i do feel sick after watching the new disney projects so i think that's quite fitting uh nightfall says whoa writing any weakness in their characters there's nothing for them to overcome the writers miss the point in that in that fight is where the character is truly powerful yeah and it's not even just like the heroes arc that they miss the the villains story line that they missed if like a of a complex villain there's no longer complexity to villains it used to be sort of like not necessarily an anti-hero but they would write villains in a way where you start to understand the struggle that they went through that made them make these poor decisions and to act in a way that we now view as evil and disney doesn't have that anymore because they view people as being inherently evil or inherently deficient in a way if you're like a white man in a disney film it's not that you came to be a villain it's that you were born to be a villain and that's inherent in your your being so not only do they lose the the progression of a of a hero's journey but they lose the progression of the creation of villainery and when you've lost all of that it's all superficial and it's just like we're watching the story to get to the beat where they overcome it they're watching the story to get to the beat where they overcome it and this is the same issue that i have with bridgerton the netflix uh season three it's like okay i know all the women are gems and diamonds and wonderful and they have nothing wrong and the men have uh you know are by virtue of being men just constantly being benefited from this patriarchy and they either realize that or they don't but i know the story beat is conflict resolution looks like women lands on top conflict resolution is woman lands on top and that's just how it goes over and over and over and over and over and over with everything that's created yeah like you said before it's it's less interesting because it's the same story told over and over again whether it's the minority character or the woman or whatever you know okay bad guy in control of things or trying to control everything white male he's going to be defeated minority character is going to triumph and that that's as much as far as their creativity extends because that's as far as their world be of extent yes and emma lina i see your comment you said no person is evil they're just pushed by their situation i agree with you mma i don't like i even like the use of the word evil and i've spoken about this on the show many a time we won't get into it right now but yeah that's it's just not the truth uh it's just we're products of our and environment and a lot of stuff that happens that makes us make certain decisions and that should be true in your storytelling as well uh sash or neo says happy friday i'm all i'm going to say is that i'm grateful to be a millennial i'm fortunate to have had a chill childhood wish all the best uh wish all a blessed pentecost oh i should know that it's pentecost i didn't yeah i know i i look back on my childhood and i'm like wow yeah i think i we got the cut off of like when childhood started to really go sour as i think maybe in the middle of my my adolescence so i'm luckily that i had a lot of my formative years in some normalcy and in some reason at the very least with the entertainment that i was consuming because once we got out of that era and you know we we we lost a plot and you can see it sort of happened like i grew up as a kid with mr rogers and sesame street and stuff like that and then we ushered ourselves into like the nickelodeon era which was in my adolescence of like oh this weirdly subtly sexual subliminal messaging and this is a little bit too adult but i don't quite understand it yet because i'm a kid and things are happening behind the scenes with the child stars and the child stars are growing up to be you know drug addicts and all these different things so i think we watched as a child a children entertainment just slowly fell off a cliff yeah i put it at about like 2012 1314 when things really shifted and the the woke narrative started to appear and uh it's only been worse and worse since though i wondered if we're like at the crest of that wave right now and things are going to start to push back but in the meantime yeah as a parent you're like you've got to really kind of curate your child's experience and what they're watching and uh in the content that they'll get thankfully you have that content like mr rogers that you can show them instead of mr rachel as we recently covered on the show uh about her journey of potentially inviting uh dylan movani on the show and things like that so what a time to be alive yeah it's very unfortunate uh dave adon again says keltic blacksmith sends his regrets not to being able to make a live stream he said he was going to have to panhandle for super touching oh no oh no we're running his bank dry sorry keltic brian bloodsau says i'm probably repeating this but project veritas and james o keef split some time ago this is from his new organization o keef media group oh shoot i forgot about that oh my gosh that completely set my mind i didn't catch that you met you said that it's all right i should have corrected yes sorry sorry guys shout out to james kind of yeah we're not sure we're not sure uh dale says i saw some disney pride-themed headbands and bracelets clearly marketed to kids at a local grocery store the indoctrination is relentless yeah it's everywhere now it's this kind of just like okay it's i think most of these like kid things are doing their little pride iteration this month and it's so weird i don't know we've lost the plot us totally when it comes to childhood and maybe it's because like what children really need is not super profitable and it's funny because miss rachel did see that and recognize like what children need and started to create that and then it has just recently fell off with the dilemma of anything and i hope she just doesn't make that choice and can continue to be what she's been for for children in in terms of their entertainment and development because we have to start making what children need profitable it's unfortunate that's the way it is and the way it has to be but it's it's true yeah i just saw that lego and put out a pride video as well um yeah wild times um bale says i don't know we just got dale various crazy people again says michael should identify as a woman when they come to fire him and watch their brains explode yeah i guess oh he's gonna i mean yeah like taylor said if they fired him now bad look super bad look and i don't know how they would come back from that uh someone in the chat requests critics that he has officially been put on administrative leave from disney has of five hours ago so i checked that but damn it wouldn't surprise me yeah i guess they could say like this is just information that you should not be talking about at uh on dates and stuff like that and maybe he has some sort of nda that he's signed with disney and this is in breach of that nda who knows like what the reasoning could be behind now they could find some technicality or pretense for for doing whatever they want to do yeah but you have to think like absent the sort of ideological conformity in the company he did not speak negatively of his company he was like you know i hope to get promoted and stay at disney but it doesn't look like that's a real possibility so i might have to look elsewhere like everything he said was pretty reasonable and respectful of company even in talking about some of the diversity standards and stuff he didn't really speak disparagingly of it all he just kind of was saying this is the reality in the context of a date it kind of makes sense so hopefully they don't go to hard on him but yeah yeah tough sorry Michael yeah uh Naomi Davies says my kid is five right day at school on monday am i wrong for wanting to keep her home the whole school is participating they're having a parade nope you're not wrong i keep my kid home like okay what am i exactly what am i sending you to school for again during the parade time what could you actually be learning about the world that we're not learning right now which is why i send you to school i don't send you to school for pride parades i send you to school so that you can learn things and socialize with other people so no you are not wrong for keeping your kid from school that day absolutely not yeah no way uh electric eyes says look there are fantastic shows like Lovecraft country or watchmen or i am not okay with this those are highly rated black slash gay shows only one season there is a story not the acolyte yeah i feel like i've there's there's plenty of ways to just tell a good story that features black people or is you know i was black writers black showrunners whatever and just that black should not come at the forefront of that it just is you know so yeah i bet there are tons of great examples um yeah i mean it's similar logic to um like affirmative action so you don't there's sort of this presupposition that's unfair to the person who's been hired or the person who's been admitted into the academic program uh because uh of the existence of preferential treatment for them on the basis of their race where you don't know if they're there because of merit or not um and that's an unfortunate reality but what's to blame for that is not people's prejudice it is the existence of the unfair discrimination um and the unfair privilege that they're being given uh rose says i hope she at least paid for that man's meal if you're going to run a man's career regardless of his arguable complicity uh at least give him the meal i feel bad i know i i hope they pulled a thing where she insisted on paying or something like that because please and he paid for it uh uh uh let's let's split this yeah at the very least um but they're gonna project i was about to say project fair toss James O'Keefe media group can send him like a fifty dollar gift card of chilies first oh chilies baby there's a hundred bucks for those dates oh my gosh man of power says hey they're gang uh i was watching the pop the balloon show and this guy had no neck and the girl's rejection lines was you're a 10 but not the 10 for me wow you know i'm not i'm not mad at that i'm not mad at letting them down softly that's what our we that's what we do as women i think for the most part unless you're not not very nice i want to react to the pop balloon show on this channel i need to do that again um i i just love watching this channel yet okay i've only done it on my second channel on ryan filtered with risa that you guys could go and subscribe to and that was a fun episode you guys like the pop balloon uh episode that we did because it was hilarious especially if you fellas want to know more of risa's takes and personality there's plenty of content over there exactly so that you guys can personality catfisher on the day or show uh let's see various guys with people again says i wonder if he expensed the date lmao uh so disney paid for someone to out themselves i did not get laid in is going to get canned yeah justice for mike justice for mike for mike saying it i know uh john jackson greeger says i have a terrible reception where i'm at so i miss most of the show your dress is beautiful taylor looks like he's about the golf two stars oh what is the two stars for what this is the show in general are we each getting a star and that's a good thing i don't know what's going on yeah maybe we're i'm gonna say we're each getting a star and that's a good thing and thank you guys for uh the the like of this uh shirt fashionova every single time they need to be paying you pretty telling i know i need to reach out they need to sponsor this show that's a sponsor i'll take on this show fashionova are you kidding me because i wear it on time and i do play golf but this is not a golf hat or outfit but you know whatever it's been a great week in golf by the way rice into shambles won the us open now live golf is here in nashville for the weekend and i'm thinking about going down there and watching some of the tournament live nice might be fun uh let's see daniel santana says wishing a joyful friday to both of you and viewers i was unable to watch the majority of the live stream today i just arrived home after working a 14-hour shift oh get some rest leave us be and get some rest 14 hours is no joke i hope you are uh recuperating yeah have a relaxing weekend daniel um man of power again says speaking of dating hamala what were some of the ik tests you used on your boyfriend early on i don't know by the way is the risa latina or asian by chance please say yes hello Ajay can she's half Thai she's half white she's half Thai we were saying like because we were gonna do a podcast we were like what should we name our podcast we were thinking we should name it whiteish because we're both whiteish and they have those shows like blackish brownish or whatever these like work shows so let us know if that's a good idea if we should name our podcast whiteish um yeah so i didn't do any ik tests on my boyfriend because i don't like this whole ik culture thing and i think uh it's really strange that both women and men are emphasizing these small things that make them like unattracted to people because we all have little small flaws and and maybe it's like we're socialized not to accept these small flaws in people and we think our our husband or a boyfriend is going to be prince charming they're not going to be every single person that has ever existed is going to have these little things that are like quirks or that maybe don't quite um um mold well with your personality and you just gotta like get used to them and learn to to love them so no no ik tests for me uh daniel santana says my favorite debater is andrew wilson have you ever heard of them never heard of them never i feel like i just saw a clip um from the whatever podcast or something on on x that they referenced one of his arguments what is he andrew andrew wilson but uh i don't know his yeah i don't know this time or anything like that never seen um noodle weenie dogs says this is my first life i've been watching a month now and it has given me a better understanding of views thank you for being that catalyst oh love that thank you and i'm glad that you found us and uh thank you you're you're i guess technically new here it's been a month so welcome welcome indeed and that is a fun um super chatter named noodle weenie dogs so we don't guess it is indeed uh andrew san tonyo gonzalez says hi amyl i don't agree with discrimination but i have seen both sides of the coin in eurogue here drag queens or trans people won't get jobs will fall into prostitution and drug addiction and the lifespan here is 30 years old so as in usa you have positive discrimination here we have negative we can say interesting yeah i mean i don't i would argue that no discrimination is positive but i totally understand what you mean it's hard that like you choose to take on this this life as far as your identity and experimentation and that can harm you as far as not getting jobs and things i don't care if you're a drag queen in your free time like do do what you want to do as long as you go come to work and you do your job and you uphold the the mission statement of whatever company you're working for that's all i care about that's unfortunate that uh people who choose to do that in their like recreational time are being punished for those choices Naomi Davies says hi amylin taylor thanks for helping me fully leave the left your sound logic and kind nature helped me realize i wasn't wearing a tinfoil hat after all my psych professor is a dei leader and i'm very scared oh that is that's a very sweet message i'm sorry about the psych professor um i can tell you at the very least hopefully there's nothing to be scared of and you can start to challenge but kindly challenge these things and hopefully the show helps you do that in in a way i think we can have fruitful discussions about these things as long as we're operating from a position of curiosity and that that helps the discussions go a little bit smoother but i'm glad that the show has been helpful and shown you that you're not crazy because we're not crazy nobody listening right now is is crazy i don't think yeah thanks for being here Naomi you can sit with us uh and i think this is last it is Gilbert Gonzalez who says the older generation grew up with the ability to discover that gave peace and pace the internet took that away instant access made us insatiable opening the door for extremes to be gradually normalized gilbert you're so correct i shout out to gilbert he was featured in a jubilee video that we reacted to on this channel so much love to gilbert yeah it's so interesting because the internet is packaged as this just window to knowledge and to learning things and to quelling curiosity in a way and in giving you the world's answers and connecting us globally but it's done the exact opposite like this instant gratification that we have uh based on this access to information has actually stifled curiosity and our like proclivity to actually look into things if you think about it uh back in the day if you were curious about something you didn't have the internet to go and look to you had to sort of create a priority list of what were your biggest curiosity using what did you want to know and why and then you had to physically seek out that information you're you have to go get books you have to go to the library you have to ask somebody who has experience with the thing you're curious about you have to go to school all these different things and now it's like ah I have it in my pocket and I can look it up whenever I want to or I can listen to like some pundit who is pretending to know about these things and they'll give me the answers and we have all this like hubris towards our own knowledge and our access to others knowledge where it's just completely ruined our curiosity and our intelligence which is just crazy because it's it's marketed as doing the opposite but here we are guys and that was our final super chat and very interesting one no it's up an interesting subject matter so thank you for that gillbert and thank you all for watching and supporting the show today drop your thoughts on what's been uncovered and exposed at disney down below in the comments also drop a hashtag justice for mic for for big mic because i'm sure he's feeling it right now guys thank you so much for watching please like subscribe click the notification bell to be notified
