Birdo didn’t kill himself 😂

Calorie counting is an outdated way of dieting. You need to to look at ingredients Colin, Chris is on point with that.

PortugalTheMark

They could literally do it as topic 1, 2, 3 and 4 not to spoil the order

Nailed it. I wish they'd have brought up some more of this stuff, found it strange that no one did. It's pretty obvious reading into it that she wasn't fired simply for being conservative as was suggested.

The Carano lawsuit is clearly BS. Look at the timing - it's just Musk trying to stoke the culture war fire in election year to suit his own ends. Whilst there was a great and fair discussion on this episode around the issue, I think Colin oversimplified it a little with his own argument. She first made the pronouns gag which offended relatively few people. She was pulled up on it though, apologised, deleted and all was fine as she went quiet on social media. Then she came back with the Nazi stuff. And the face mask stuff. And the voter fraud stuff. And the insurrection stuff. This was a case of an employee who'd been repeatedly warned and educated, refusing to adjust their behaviour in the way required by their employer. Adhering to social media conduct policies is an important part of working for a large corporation, but it seemed like she just didn't care. Crucially, though, they didn't terminate her contract. It expired. And they chose not to give her a new one. I can't see how the lawsuit stands any chance whatsoever, and therefore can only conclude it's a publicity stunt by Musk. She claims that others with different opinions have been treated differently, but to equate the subjects she was posting on with actors who simply express their preference for the other side of the political spectrum is disingenuous. Pedro Pascal WAS pulled up on his social media usage, and it's telling that ever since this whole incident he's been a lot less abrasive on there to my mind. So her lawsuit will fail on that level too.

Any chance we can time stamp constellation? 😂 I know it’s only 4 topics but would be nice 🙏🏼

Ross Stoddart

Great episode guys. Excellent topics. I’ve no idea how you can go from the immature insanity of discussion for Chris’s topic to the insightful and mature discussion for Colin’s topic. But somehow you pulled it off 🤣🤣

kiNeMs

This. I think as he grows older it will slowly change. As it did for me.

Corey Adams

I’m pretty sure Dagan grew up with timothy mcveigh

NeO JD

The Progressive Bully. The Casual Terrorist. The way Dagan says Mario is a creep. What a legendary episode. 😄

lol man Colin drives me crazy with the calorie obsession. Calories in and calories out is an over simplification of the weight loss/weight management process. It’s somewhat true, but the quality of the calories plays a big part too.

I have no issue with Gina being fired from Disney. An employer has the right to fire you if they believe you are hurting their reputation\business as long as it doesn't discriminate a protected category. Just like I have ZERO issues with Melissa Barrera being fired from the Scream 7 movie for posting what they viewed as antisemitic posts. If you are going to be one of these types then I prefer you keep hustling and die on your sword like Chris' example of Shane Gillis. That's true winning. They get rid of you and you become so successful that they have no choice, but to bring you back. That's GOAT behavior right there.

JR

As soon as Trump goes away political discourse will improve. Unfortunately that will be awhile.

Stonehorn

“Real harm”. What harm? Not letting them play in women’s sports? Not letting them give kids irreversible drugs? It’s trans people saying not dating them is transphobia, which is outright nonsense. We can clearly see they aren’t women, and we have no interest in dicks or whatever bullshit bottom surgery is.

Stonehorn

Musk fired people because they were vastly overstaffed, not because they said something he didn’t like. Pretending the two are the same is ridiculous

Stonehorn

I’ve seen trans people arguing that not dating them is transphobia. Jesse Gender has like an hour long video about it. So is not agreeing that trans women should be in women’s sports. The idea that this should be fine is absurd at best.

Michael Thew

Because Hamas was elected by its people and they will not stop killing Israelis until every man woman and child is dead.

Jared R

While I agree with Colin’s sentiments, I feel like the scenarios he puts forward with trans people, while I’m sure have happened, isn’t really what most trans people/allies are arguing for. I think there’s real debate on things like bathrooms, but I haven’t really seen anybody call someone a transphobe for not wanting to personally date a trans person. Same thing with the neo-pronouns. That seems fringe even within the trans community.

Stewy108

Excellent episode!

Adam Barnes

That seems like an idiotic thing to do lol why?!

Colin Moriarty

Awesome ep, guys.

Pretendo

So Elon Musk firing employees from Twitter and Tesla for nonsense is ok but when Disney does it it’s bad. Would be funny if Disney started bank rolling those lawsuits.

A Hind D

COG was spitting facts this episode . I’m also a CRUSHED niner fan so this helped lmao

Michael Thew

It’s perfectly fine for one side to air their laundry but when their argument is easily questioned and disproved that’s when censorship comes in.

Michael Thew

But the left saying it’s ok that children mutilate themselves, as just one of the many examples, unchecked is just fine with you. The double standards some people live in is astonishing

Michael Thew

When a dude thinks he should be in sports and bathrooms with women and girls, and children being preyed upon by social point counting parents by allowing the child to go through life changing medications and surgeries to score those points is the line for me. They have a mental disease and should get mental help, instead of indulging these people fantasies

Brandon V

Can always count on Chris to downplay the complete batshit insanity of the left and go unchecked on it.

PluuusRyan

So much of objecting to trans people seems so contradictory and circular to me. “Live and let live” but, “don’t group yourself with all women without explicitly stating you’re a trans woman” “I only care about the individual” but, “we need to have proper categories for people.” “You’re telling me this cis woman and trans woman are the fundamentally the same? I can clearly see that there not!” but, “I need to others to make these categories even more explicit for me so that I…. know which person I should be sexually attracted to?” It’s just… the relative impact on cis people versus the personal indignance many have around these societal shifts is hugely imbalanced compared to the stigmatization and real harm that trans people tend to experience. I absolutely take Cog’s point that some grace should be given (especially among close relations) about someone’s best intent as well, but mostly it seems to me that most of us cis people need to chill out.

Clara Martin

Speaking from a trans experience, I think a big fundamental divide and misunderstanding between people is the discrepancy on the definition of "gender" and whether or not you think it's different from "sex." That's not something you're really going to be able to talk to someone about if they see the issue fundamentally differently than you do.

Bogey

Gina Carano was fired because she was tweeting shit and causing controversy, and when the heads of Disney asked her to stop she ignored them and continued to tweet controversial tweets. I’m sorry I do not feel bad for someone who brings heat onto their employer, and their employer asks them to stop and they ignore it and continue doing what they’re doing.

iain mcmanus

To Chris’s point of it being gayer to sleep with buck angel. Well yes that’s true because you would be actively trying to have sex with a woman that has a fake penis. No straight man would have sex with buck angel and no straight man would have sex with Blair white. It does not matter how much you say you are not gay. Banging a dude that cut his penis off and fashioned it into a sex hole makes you entirely gay.

iain mcmanus

She understands why she was let go and that’s why she’s suing. You may not like it but they objectively defamed her and said she was being antisemitic. I completely agree that they can’t be forced to rehire her that sounds crazy. If she wins a compensation for the ruination of her career should do

Frederico Garbino

They take the natural fat out of jiffy.

Joe B

The reality of the entire situation with Gina Carrano is she was a shitty actress on a show made specifically for Children who apparently thought everyone wanted her opinions on matters nobody asked about. She isnt entitled to the Mandalorian job. She never was. She also was given tons of chances to shut up while being a representative of the Disney Brand and she couldnt help herself. The fact she is suing them about it shows how stupid she really is that even years after the fact, she still cannot understand why she was let go. I also despise cancel culture, but there is cancel culture, and then there is never reading the room and finally being ousted by the group.

Brannon H

Curious how Musk and conservatives are silent on Melissa Barrera. Logan Roy is 100% on the fictional Epstein List. It's tough hearing Cog talk about the 49ers knowing the outcome of the Super Bowl.

Beau

The “Disney doesn’t play around and she should’ve known she couldn’t speak on politics” falls apart when you look up Pedro Pascal’s tweets at the same time. Not just him either. Other people working under the Disney umbrella had HEINOUS tweets that were ignored. If anything sinks Disney in this lawsuit, it’ll be that. She was targeted for mild opinions while colleagues were allowed to go way harder in the paint.

Alec Rock

I had been wondering what this secret topic of Chris’ was going to be… I am not disappointed at all lmfao fucking comedy. Cog’s laughs are killing me

Bogey

Freddy Krueger in the originals was just a child murderer. It was the remake that came out in the 00s that finally came out and just said he was a pedophile.

GameSimp

To this day, someone in the Bronx genuinely believes they saw Mario throw a fireball out a window

OnkiDonkGinkGonk

Doesn’t this comment just kind of prove his point?

Anthony Palerino

Ate steak at 9:30 pm last night and went to sleep around 11:00 pm. Had horrible dream that my loved ones were preventing me from getting to a big meeting (that I’m actually having today) and I was having to scream at them which I never do. Fuck dreams man

Ryan

colin acting like he’s “live and let live” and then being obsessed about trans people and making up scenarios in his head where someone might call him a bigot. everyone already thinks you are a bigot, let it go
