Summary

Coronavirus flavored ice cream, lassoing snakes, and diving deep into COVIDIOTS, aka those fools who are messing around during the 10th month of the pandemmy. After that, we have RuPaul's Drag Race winner Bob the Drag Queen on the pod to talk about moving to LA, his comedy divas and the HBO Max show, We're Here. For DBWP, Bari wants you to get on the mailing list of former guest complainer, Fran Tirado. "Fran's Joy Digest" features weekly actions, like calling your senators to speak out against two anti-trans bills that are being voted on in Montana (with similar bills being voted on around the country). As promised, here's "Four Myths About Trans Athletes, Debunked" from the ACLU. Bari is watching Search Party and Riverdale, while Matt is watching vintage Survivor.

Welcome to Unhappy Hour, the show where we bitch about all the things we love to hate every single week. I'm your host Matt Bellissai.

1:10.0

I'm here in my studio recording far, far away from my producer Barry Thinkill, hi Barry.

1:19.0

Hey Matt, you know what I realized today? What? This is our first ever episode, published, not during the Trump era of presidency.

1:32.0

It's a new dawn, it's a new age, it's the same podcast.

1:37.0

What has been around officially longer than the Trump presidency? Unhappy hour. I mean not yet.

1:44.0

Well that's not true. When did we start? When did we start? We started in 2017, so a full year and a half into the Trump presidency.

1:52.0

Well, I feel like we'll outlast him eventually. Oh absolutely. Because you know what? There's still a lot to complain about, even under this new administration.

2:02.0

Yeah, as happy as I was to see him get on his little airplane and fly away. That's a big ass airplane.

I know I was legitimate when I was having a conversation with myself over like whether my life improved over the last four years.

2:33.0

And unfortunately the answer is yes, not because of Donald Trump. But I just like hate to give him any satisfaction of knowing that my life improved while he was president.

2:46.0

I mean, I think that any improvement would not be something that he cares about. So I think you're fine.

2:52.0

Like he's not going to get satisfaction from that.

2:56.0

But also say yeah, it was in spite of him, not because of him. And anyway, that we prevailed, we survived. And yet our complaining goes on as it always does.

3:06.0

Because even in the best of times, we are also celebrating the worst of times. Amen.

3:13.0

You know who said that? Me. I wrote that book. Mr. Chuck Dickens can eat my asshole because I don't give a shit.
