Jirk's Podcast: Episode Thirty Four - Liars, Lightyear, and Lizzo

With the overturning of Roe V. Wade, there were several justices who lied about overturning it. Not only do they continually deny equal rights to marginalized people, but lied when they said that they would uphold the law in accordance to how it helps the masses. And women have lost autonomy over their bodies, once again.

Lightyear, the new movie by Pixar, was getting ridiculed for the same sex couple represented in the film. People say that it didn't align with the wholesome family dynamic that Disney stood for, which is under aged girls fall in love with a prince, get married, and live happily ever after. Prime heterosexual indoctrination that raises good heterosexual children. Ugh.

And Lizzo, the queen of Hip Hop & R&B, changed a lyric in one of her songs because it was harmful to a group of disabled bodied people. She apologized, removed the song, changed the lyric, and then upoladed it again. A beautiful gesture and sincere way to handle a difficult situation.

Jeremy and Kirk bring their honest insight in a fun and highly opinionated way. It's always fun, and always entertaining.  Give it a listen.

This podcast is all about letting people know our perspective on food, culture, and branding aspects of things. You're gonna hear some shit with which you may or may not agree.  However, the perspective that is provided is open and honest. Frankly,  it's gonna make some people a little mad. It's not done in a way to be  assholes, but in a way to make you think of us as being jerks. After  all, "Jeremy" and "Kirk", does equal "Jirk".
