0:15.6 | Hey guys, welcome back to the show and thank you so much for tuning in today. We are going to be discussing the latest woke celebrity to get me toed. Then the last of us too is finally out. But now some LGBT activists are saying that the game just does not go far enough for representation. |
0:25.1 | G, it's almost like these people cannot be pleased. First up Ansel |
0:30.6 | Elgort. No, that is not a stroke that I just had. That is actually the name of the actor we are going to be discussing. |
0:37.6 | You may be familiar with him from his roles as Caleb in the Divergent series or as baby driver he plays baby driver the lead and |
0:45.7 | despite the fact that I I really don't feel like Ansel Elgort has had that many big |
0:50.8 | roles or been in that many huge movies, he is one of those celebrities that has a |

1:55.1 | combat America's systemic racism let's make America great for the first time it's |

2:06.0 | On his Black Square for Blackout Tuesday, he also felt the need to write that, |
