Summary

Alise, Bryan, and Amanda start by detailing a weekend of NFL football in London. Then they react to Tucker Carlson’s homophobic and misogynistic comments about Pete Buttigieg taking maternity leave. They explain how the comments play into hateful stereotypes about same-sex couples while reinforcing the idea that men are not primary caretakers. They explain why Carlson’s comments -- while unusually offensive -- manifest in more subtle ways every day, and what needs to happen to permanently change how we view men, women, and caregiving.

Should London get a NFL team? And if they do what should it be called thoughts?

0:52.2

So here's why I bring it up. The reason I bring it up is because apparently every year there are a like series of NFL games that happen in London and people love it.

1:06.2

A lot of people turn out I would guess because it's kind of like a bit American football. I don't know if they're earnestly turning out, but they did really get dressed up. They have jerseys and this is long prompted conversations that maybe London should be a potential residence for the first non US NFL franchise.

1:23.2

Another option they recommended is relocating an established franchise to London. So we could either get a London team or all decide together which team we hate the most and send them away.
