and they used to um i was going to talk about lobotomies but yeah can you
believe that they
did lobotomies yeah i can it's really unbelievable bring up some of the lobotomy
um
information please a lobotomy is a type of brain surgery that involves severing
the connection
between the frontal lobe and the other parts of the brain yeah and lobotomies
became popular in
the 1930s as a treatment for certain mental health conditions there are times
when i feel so mentally
unwell that i would be like if it went on long if it went on a really long time
that me feeling that
bad i'd be like please please take it out yeah please cut the the the cord
connection that is
making this happen like you would want just an out like i still want it would
be like a suicide without
having to die yeah oh wow but then you're still just milling around like god
but i wouldn't know
huh i wouldn't know and it's not just bothering people though oh i would hate
it now you're just
walking up people asking you're just like a eternal trick-or-treater you're
just bothering people yeah
i guess i would never do a voluntary one but if someone was like she must be i'd
be like oh okay
you know like kind of like it's not my fault that i'm gonna be that yeah they
did this to me but yeah
there's times where it's like i can see why they would want to clip that cord
in addition to people
who meet current definitions for mental illness practitioners also perform lobotomies
on people with
intellectual disabilities who were gay wow who were in prison for crimes which
some blamed on criminal
insanity oh a 2018 study also states that most lobotomized people were women
yeah so it's just like
bad pms and they're like clipper yeah okay look what and what about who's the
group that came over to
decide that must have been a crazy dinner huh because because the woman had to
cook it and also
and also sit there and defend oh my god i hope they let her clean up before
they took her away
because who's gonna do that oh my god often the reasons doctors gave for this
was they needed to
maintain order in the hospital you're right other reasons included a lack of
interest in child care and
strange behavior what does that mean what do you mean a lack of interest in
other reasons a lack of
interest oh um i guess they did it to women who uh probably had postpartum and
were just like i don't
really want this baby wow which most women were just getting raped by their
husbands back then and
making to have a baby every chance that they could why would you want that kid
well we wouldn't have
mad men first of all if some of that didn't happen john ham would have a career
if that didn't happen
so the fact that he i wouldn't be here if that didn't happen to my grandma yeah
but the fact that
he doesn't donate a million dollars a year okay to secretaries of america with
children
is on real um yeah if you got if you got to be reincarnated based on a lot of
what you've done so
you've been a women's lib activist right shut up well you have whatever a women's
lib activist i'm just a
woman or whatever it's called you mean being a woman and just wanting like
speak speaking freely as one
i don't know that i'm what do you what do you what comes to mind when you think
of me like that
no i think you haven't been like a like um like a you know like
you know like yeah like you know you know you know you know char my vulva or
whatever some of those
women are doing for africa or whatever yeah but i think yeah you're like a wit
you're like a proud
female yeah yeah yeah yeah definitely so you know up speed uh someone who
speaks up for women
yeah i mean yeah i think so so maybe yeah it might have been the best term i
didn't mean it like you
um i didn't mean it like a negative thing no i'm not like a man hate i hope
people don't personify
me as like a man hating that feminist i i actually like like men a lot and i
empathize
even the things that i'm like why do men not have to do this and we have to do
this and i'm like mad
about the disparity it's like i'm not mad at men about it it's just the gender
roles it's not like
your fault that like men's fault that this is the way it is or there are many
ways in which women are
shitty or or have it uh better than men do and it's like not our we don't need
to be villainized
for it it's just kind of the roles we fall into and then yeah you just see you
everywhere and
everybody's like she killed it this bitch is it she's the honky cardi b people
are saying
i haven't read that yet but that's cool yeah no like it's cool that it's like
what i found is a new betsy ross somebody wrote something whoa i don't even
wait like betsy like
like 1800s betsy ross yeah the lady that made the freaking flag the flag oh my
god let's get it
yeah thank you that is that feels really good too dude 17 1700s betsy ross my
my buddy um said
his great-grandfather knew her and she was a chatty bee dude oh yeah look at
her and she lived forever
and people were like well this chatty bee just died she made one cool she would
have had a podcast oh
a hit podcast that's true huh call her betty yeah she would have had it man but
they like she probably
said five sentences a day and they're like she was chatty you know like she
probably was just like
can i get some water and you know rick's wife made that flag and she's been
real chatty since then she
looks so quiet thankfully my wife's missing it was different times back then
dude but you could just
kill your wife well hold on you cannot and do not say that do not get that out
like you not now please
don't you're gonna get caught yeah but back then like you could do anything it
was so like that's i've
been talking a lot about like on stage about the desire to have kids or not
have kids and how
i think that a lot of the feeling that when women tell me like you gotta do it
you know and i know
they're just trying to get other women like when you're not having a good time
you're like other
people will you do this too there's a part of it and it's very rewarding in its
own way but i think a
lot of it they they actually do believe it's so rewarding but you i think at
some point you have to
convince yourself that it is because you have no other option you have to like
it you can't let in that
this is a regret because you can't take it back you can let in that you regret
marrying your husband
because there's an out or oh i bought this house or even this tattoo i got you
can let in a little
regret when you're like oh i can get it removed kid kid you just have to you
have to convince
yourself you like it and i think you do actually end up liking it because of
that but i think it's
because there's no out what do you think well yeah it's almost like going to
prison in a way kind
of but yeah because you can't be the guy in prison it's every day like man
prison sucks you're so right and people are like dude shut the up i have to be
in here for 21 and
a half more years yes but if you have a life sentence like it would just you
would just it
would be your life i think i could probably accept it if there was just no
getting out i'd like a life
sentence better than i would like you get out in 40 years oh when you think it's
your choice and you
could appeal and like they're yes because none of your chicks either if you hit
them up when you get
out bro it's a wrap dude they're gonna be like 40 years oh yeah well hopefully
you have a pen pal
that you've been lubing up yeah that you like and then there's someone waiting
for you because
but as soon as you're available they don't want you like as a woman who's
attracted to unavailable men
as soon as a guy would get out of prison i'd be like i just think we should be
friends like i would
you know all that stuff i said i was gonna do with you yeah i'm just not into
it anymore because now
you're free but i there's a part of me that understands when women like are
attracted to
guys that have life sentences they can never be with them wow fear of intimacy
that guy will never
get to know me never touch me and i can just dream about it and i can tell
everybody about it it's a
great story yes i'm the hero yeah yeah or i'm the psycho who likes this guy who
murdered his wife
and has convinced myself that he wouldn't do that to me if he had a chance yeah
yeah more than i want
that kind of or i want to be the one that's like he wouldn't murder me they
murdered everyone else
