Pilled Olympics (E289)

Omg the transphobia discussion is so upsetting. Any woman who has been punched or held up at gunpoint as a result have trained very hard to have a strong body … and can look mannish and I mean that’s the trade off for a choice to feel like you can protect yourself in a violent world. So now they attack you for looking feminine. They attack you for looking masculine. I think one of these transphobic people should challenge her to a boxing match and she can beat them to a nice squishy pulp (but remain alive bc I don’t believe in violence. Just sports.)

Just agreeing that the tiles were poorly organized and it was impossible to find replays until like 3 days later which is stupid.

I'm blue daba dee daba daa 💙

I like that he already said "Death" referring to the horseman only to say un-aliveness later. Behold a pale horse. And his name that sat upon him was... Unaliveness....

Conservatives demand trigger warnings amid blue man Olympics opening ceremony scandal

For some reason I started thinking about the movie Munich, then I thought you gotta do a ep about movies about black opps. So far I only got that and Charlie Wilsons War. Im sure there are more.

i have the animatrix on dvd right above my desk still rips

Terfs really did listen to people saying their insane witch hunt was and is going to negatively affect any woman who doesn't conform to a fairly narrow aesthetic conceit of a white, cisgendered woman, and responded with 'ok cool, they aren't women either then'.

It made me really really happy to hear that Imane Khelif won the gold medal yesterday. You go, girl!

Obviously transphobia is very very bad and it would be preferable for it to just not exist but I am not going to lie, I cannot wait for the day when the transvestigators come for JK Rowling herself. If you watch interviews about why she carries such distaste for trans women it (originally) seemed to boil down to "these MEN can't come in here and act like they're women, don't they understand how hard and shitty being a woman is?" Implying, at least on some level that she would rather be a man. She's also written under a male pseudonym. They will eventually come for her.

I wanna know what the thing they watched the sports games on that was bleeped out 😭.

Julian thank you for pointing out peacocks shitty UI/UX

I’m so glad you aren’t a sports podcast … satanic panic is so much more fun. Stop the Naked Olympics! Ban all blue people! 🤣. Julian you nailed it, online outrage is an addiction for these people. They apparently love to pay for it

Julian please speak more French I unironically love it

It's always funny to see people think Lovecraft racism was towards black people When it was fairly tame And the real racism was towards non wasp white people

I demand more Jake skateboarding information.

Jake, that wasn't Ezio from AC. That was the Man in the Iron Mask - an iconic French figure.

It's me, Tom Cruise. The actor. Have you already a done a Strange Days movie night? Because you totally should, its pretty damn pilled. Plus it gives us more Jake enthusiasm over cult films he "really wants you to love, but understands why you might not, but c'mon guys it's a banger of a movie, but sure it has a few flaws, but that's why its charming".

I’d love to see an Olympics where Jake is in charge of deciding what the competitions are, because they’d all be based on movies. Gold medals for busting ghosts and moving in bullet time!

Underwater hockey is real but it’s not in the Olympics. Climbers do get regular medals so I’m not sure what liv was talking about there.

In the future I look forward to a new Olympic event; Speed Pilling. It works like speed dating. Contestants have two minutes to pill a room full of random Boomers, Yoga enthusiasts, and washed-up rock stars. The contestant who pills the most people wins.

I dunno man, if you look at a metal band playing on the facade of a castle while a headless Marie Antoinette sits in the window and think anything other than “this rules actually” that’s a skill issue

Not sure if this is unpopular but after a few months of hearing the new intro, bring back the old one. The new one has too much of a self-important vibe for me

Wow, never thought Steven A would make it into QAA. He is such a loser.

“Did I tell you this? As a friend?”

Please never stop "This is not that" audible laugh from me every time

I got the Strange Days reference Jake!! I got it!!

not to be too catholic partisan here but the paranoia about the opening ceremony is kinda why i think american protestantism is like the closest we get to actual devil worship even moreso than like actual satanism

As a metalhead, I can vouch that Gojira kicks ass and is a very apt choice for France. They're getting big but are also still widely liked among more discerning fans.

Guys guys guys did you know Julian speaks french

I miss Jake’s Mike Lindell impression. Bring it back!

jake i love strange days i love you

Love that painting parodies became taboo suddenly. Seeing an ad with Bart and Homer Simpson or Rick and Morty posed like Creation of Adam and fuming, "They aren't even hiding it anymore."

The latest funny transvestigation victim is a QAA/Manclan alumnus: Andrew Tate (https://www.dailydot.com/debug/andrew-tate-transgender-conspiracy-theory/)

To be fair, Animatrix was the only shit that came close to the og movie. The Last Renaissance (with the Revelations references) was impressive, but the real highlights are Matriculated (by Peter Chung, creator of Aeon Flux) and Detective Story and Kid's Story (by Shinichirō Watanabe who gave us the fucking amazing Cowboy Bebop).

Also, Bad Mother Fucking Minton is Bad Mother Fucking Ass

Jake coming in hot just as I was ready to talk about speedwalking being ridiculous.

Why does Julian’s God impression sound like Elon Musk? Fresh horror

more drag queens please

i was amazed by the discus, the balletic spins and incredible raw power

We did drag queens 24 years ago in Sydney years ago! Zero outrage.

Julian not being into metal was not on my bingo card

liv agar

Julian is a gold medal podcaster in my heart ❤️🥇

Underwater hockey is real and I did it in high school because I thought the name was funny

yipeeee
