0:00.0 | Y'all are all of these guys that are part of this weird, recent charged wave of shitting on dads taking paternity leave? |
0:06.8 | Like, are they okay? And like, hey, I understand that paid parental leave is a rather alien concept for the majority of Americans |
0:12.4 | because we are the only country in the OECD that does not have a mandate for paid parental leave. |
0:17.6 | Right, it's one of those things why people in other countries say America is a third world country with a Gucci belt. So this recent and toxic generalized slamming of paternity |
0:24.9 | leave is connected to this news around Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. If you're not |
0:28.9 | familiar, Buttigieg first went on paternity leave back in mid-August following the birth of his |
0:32.8 | twins. Notably, he's doing this at the same time as the ongoing supply chain bottlenecks across the country. Which regarding that, I'm way more open to the conversation of splitting the two, right? |
0:40.3 | The Pete Buttigieg story, I think, could be considered in exceptional circumstance. |
0:44.3 | You are the head of a part of the government that is dealing with a massive issue that's going to affect hundreds of millions of American lives. |

1:02.3 | just an immense audience. And two, of the notable people with audiences speaking out against paternity |
1:06.4 | leave right now, he's kind of the least dickish. Like, I've literally seen some of these guys just blanket Staven's saying, |
1:11.9 | paternity leave is for pussies. |
1:13.5 | So it's going to be far easier to work with the Rogan stuff than that. |
1:16.1 | So yeah, recently Bridget Fetasy was on Joe Rogan. |
1:18.7 | They're talking about Pete Buttigieg, that conversation, |
1:20.9 | eventually leading to paternity leave in general. |
1:22.8 | People are blaming Pete Buttigieg because of the fact that he's on paternity leave that was a weird one because |
1:28.2 | I never know in those stories it's like uh is this just like a partisan thing where you just want to |
1:34.9 | like yell at the guy because but it is kind of crazy with that we see fetusie pushing back |
