Ep. 1506 - Why Derek Chauvin Deserves a New Trial (And Will Win It)
Where do you see the intersection really? What is your definition of health?

Ep. 1506 - Why Derek Chauvin Deserves a New Trial (And Will Win It)
Mm, yeah, that's really complicated, right? I think I want to sort of, I want to talk about that question, but I want to start by saying that, you know, no one has to be healthy. No, right? Like, I mean, it's like, no, like there is no governing body that's like out there putting, you know what I mean?

Ep. 1506 - Why Derek Chauvin Deserves a New Trial (And Will Win It)
It's like, no one owes anybody that in either the traditional sense of the word or any other more innovative or, you know, more politicized, maybe even version of that word. So I think it's important to say, and I want to back up and bring in intersectionality and say, look at the disabled community.

Ep. 1506 - Why Derek Chauvin Deserves a New Trial (And Will Win It)
I think people with disabilities and activists within that space have consistently been saying, I'm never going to be your notion of healthy. That doesn't mean I don't get to be a full human. You get to treat me some kind of way. And so I think that I love taking that principle within disability rights, to fat activism and to understandings of fatness. So I want to start there, right?

Like no matter what size you are, you don't owe anybody else your health. But I mean, for me, like in an ideal world where, like in an ideal world, there wouldn't be health-based gatekeeping.

CRFI. If you're like many women, you've been to a birthday party or a small office gathering, an event that's meant to bring people together. There's swinging tunes, some adult beverages, and good convo. And then it comes time to cut the cake and someone decides to ruin everything.
The Matt Walsh Show
Ep. 1506 - Why Derek Chauvin Deserves a New Trial (And Will Win It)
Can you cut me half of half of that? A cake-related fatphobic incident or CRFI is that moment when it's time to eat delicious cake and it's interrupted by a moralizing impulse.

Inevitably, there's always someone at the party who has to declare publicly that their slice is too large and that the person who's cutting the cake, almost invariably a woman, must do some disproportionate amount of labor in order to accommodate their need to feel superior. Let's take a look. Can you do a little bit?

Sometimes you are wrong in life. And I thought that there was no 24-hour sun. In fact, I was pretty sure of it. But I respect Will Duffy for being a stand-up guy, at least in the way that he kept saying it was true. I kept saying it wasn't. He said, do you want to go? I'll take you. And he brought me here. And it's a fact. The sun does circle you in the south. So what does that mean?
The Matt Walsh Show
Ep. 1506 - Why Derek Chauvin Deserves a New Trial (And Will Win It)
You guys are going to have to figure that out yourself. Don't listen to my beliefs or my opinion. It shouldn't matter to you. But at least you should be able to accept... uh that the sun does exactly what these guys said as far as circles the southern continent so that's about it i i realized that um I'll be called a shill for just saying that. And you know what?
The Matt Walsh Show
Ep. 1506 - Why Derek Chauvin Deserves a New Trial (And Will Win It)
If you're a shill for being honest, so be it. I honestly believe there was no 24 hour sun. I honestly now believe there is. It seems like the moon does circle here as well. So you start thinking about that as well. It doesn't mean that a map is over. Flat Earth is over. Maybe somebody's got the answer. I don't have that answer right now. So I just want to say thanks again. Appreciate it.
