The following podcast contains explicit language. I'm Peteevan Vetcaff and this is the Slate Culture Gap Fest.

This is the chewiest thing I've ever had in my mouth, the addition.

Wait, sorry, you're who?

I'm Peteeven Vetcalf. That's not how I've known you. What are you talking about?

superlative Australian house guests this weekend, and among the reasons they were the perfect house guesses that their adolescent age sons were the perfect combination of irreverence and good-hearted.

And they insisted the entire weekend not only on calling me

bettaph but insisting that in Australia this is a sign of high respect.

I see no doubt. We have a lot of listeners in Australia.

We know this from our great trip there.

On today's show, Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom,

Scarlet Johanson has been cast to play a trans man failed it has been the response to this rumor we discussed the backlash.

We discussed the backlash with Slates Evan Urquhart.

Joining me today is Be Julia B Turner,

Slates editor.

Hello. This is just never. Lerner, Slate's editor, into... Hello?

This is just never ever going to get old.
