The Catcher in the Rye Ch. 10 Part 1 | Banned Books Comedy Podcast

Holden Caulfield can't sleep, so he does what any reasonable teenager would do — puts on a clean shirt and heads down to the hotel nightclub alone in the middle of the night. But before he goes, he spends a few minutes thinking about his little sister Phoebe. It's the warmest, most unguarded moment in the book so far. Then he goes downstairs and tries to give all of that to three strangers from out of town who aren't really listening.

Banned Camp is a comedy podcast where we read banned books chapter by chapter — we don't read ahead, so you're discovering the story with us.

Things To Listen For:
- Holden's description of Phoebe — roller skate skinny, red hair like Allie's, holds up her finger in a dark movie theater before the guy on screen does it — is the most affectionate thing he's said about anyone, and Dan notices that Holden has all this feeling he just never lets out
- Holden tries to order a scotch and soda at the Lavender Room and gets carded. In 1951. Dan is shocked that anyone was responsible back then.
- The three women from out of town — one blonde, two strictly from hunger — giggle every time Holden looks at them, which annoys him enough that he asks them to dance anyway
- Holden dances with the blonde and tells her she ought to be a professional. She's not listening to a word he says. She's looking around the room the whole time.
- Jennifer asks what it must be like to be inside Holden Caulfield's head twenty-four seven. Dan says weird. They're both right.

Why was The Catcher in the Rye banned? This chapter is a good example of why school boards lose their minds over this book — a teenage boy alone in a hotel nightclub, trying to buy alcohol, dancing with older women, using words like "horry" and "pimpy." What they miss is that Holden isn't having the time of his life. He's desperately lonely and trying to connect with anyone who will actually pay attention.

If this is your first episode, you're fine starting here. Our fact-checking Robot catches you up fast, then we read the next chapter (spoilers).

00:00:04,84.6326297404 --> 00:00:05,149.6326297404
Welcome to Band Camp.

2
00:00:05,149.6326297404 --> 00:00:05,719.6326297404
I'm Jennifer.

3
00:00:06,435.4539167947 --> 00:00:12,585.453916795
And I am Dan, and this is the podcast where we read band books and try to figure out why they were banned in the first place.

4
00:00:15,38.101463087 --> 00:00:24,308.101463087
This season we are reading The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger, and you can consider this a quick spoiler warning because Jennifer's about to start reading from the book out loud.

5
00:00:24,308.101463087 --> 00:00:25,448.101463087
Word for word.

6
00:00:25,958.101463087 --> 00:00:28,988.101463087
Now, if you're new here, you're totally fine starting out here.

7
00:00:29,18.101463087 --> 00:00:38,528.101463087
We're gonna get you oriented real quick, and if you get confused, I bet we're gonna be confused too, because neither of us have ever read the book either, and that's why we have a secret weapon.

8
00:00:38,648.101463087 --> 00:00:39,518.101463087
Let's bring him in now.

9
00:00:40,809.729281415 --> 00:00:41,859.729281415
Roll it in here buddy.

10
00:00:41,859.729281415 --> 00:00:42,969.729281415
Boy, look at this guy.

11
00:00:42,969.729281415 --> 00:00:45,249.729281415
He is the third member of our team.

12
00:00:45,339.729281415 --> 00:00:47,829.729281415
He's our fact checking robot.

13
00:00:47,949.729281415 --> 00:00:48,729.729281415
Come on, move it.

14
00:00:48,789.729281415 --> 00:00:49,569.729281415
Shake a tail.

15
00:00:49,569.729281415 --> 00:00:52,89.729281415
Can fill everyone in.

16
00:00:52,89.729281415 --> 00:00:55,299.729281415
Where did we leave off last time? And Catcher in the Rye, buddy.

17
00:00:55,299.729281415 --> 00:01:08,134.145078132
Boy, Previously on band Camp Holden Caulfield arrived in New York City in the middle of the night, stood in a phone booth for 20 minutes trying to think of one single person to call and came up empty.

18
00:01:08,615.654961546 --> 00:01:18,298.758820528
He checked into a crummy hotel, watched perverts and losers his words, not mine, through their windows because there was nothing else to do after a bitty called some floozy.

19
00:01:18,298.758820528 --> 00:01:23,608.758820528
He barely remembered from a party, tried to sound suave as hell, and she told Holden to pound sand.

20
00:01:24,17.080752806 --> 00:01:25,877.080752806
Leaving Old Holden alone with his thoughts.

21
00:01:25,877.080752806 --> 00:01:28,988.271841106
Once again, some people have a great deal to give.

22
00:01:29,78.271841106 --> 00:01:32,318.271841106
I've noticed they tend to offer it to whoever happens to be nearby.

23
00:01:32,757.550158725 --> 00:01:35,757.550158725
That's not always the same as whoever might actually receive it.

24
00:01:36,112.365344755 --> 00:01:37,522.365344755
Take it away, Jennifer.

25
00:01:37,777.365344755 --> 00:01:37,997.365344755
Woo.

26
00:01:38,894.383031522 --> 00:01:39,914.383031522
thank you robot.

27
00:01:39,914.383031522 --> 00:01:42,644.38303152
And with that being said, scary book people.

28
00:01:42,674.38303152 --> 00:01:47,504.38303152
Let's start Chapter 10 of JD Salinger's, the Catcher and the Rye.

29
00:01:51,463.95995754 --> 00:01:53,58.95995754
It was still pretty early.

30
00:01:53,328.95995754 --> 00:01:56,808.95995754
I'm not sure what time it was, but it wasn't too late.

31
00:01:58,58.95995754 --> 00:02:07,682.54423026
What, what, what, what are you talking about? this knucklehead still up in the middle of the night and he's saying it's still pretty early? No, maybe he means early in the morning.

32
00:02:08,24.67666286 --> 00:02:09,254.67666286
Maybe he pulled an all-nighter.

33
00:02:09,254.67666286 --> 00:02:10,184.67666286
Now it's the next day.

34
00:02:10,979.67666286 --> 00:02:14,759.67666286
There is no reason to pull an all-nighter go to bed.

35
00:02:15,179.67666286 --> 00:02:21,644.67666286
I mean, I cannot understand this kid, I know it's actually painful to me 'cause I hate not sleeping.

36
00:02:22,953.33629807 --> 00:02:30,483.33629807
So I opened my suitcases and took out a clean shirt, and then I went in the bathroom and washed and changed my shirt.

37
00:02:30,873.33629807 --> 00:02:37,143.33629807
What I thought I'd do, I thought I'd go downstairs and see what the hell was going on in the lavender room.

38
00:02:37,743.33629807 --> 00:02:39,3.33629807
They had this nightclub.

39
00:02:39,353.33629807 --> 00:02:43,793.33629807
The lavender room in the hotel while I was changing my shirt.

40
00:02:44,33.33629807 --> 00:02:47,153.33629807
I damn near gave my kids sister Phoebe a buzz, though.

41
00:02:47,603.33629807 --> 00:02:50,33.33629807
I certainly felt like talking to her on the phone.

42
00:02:50,455.85726884 --> 00:02:51,805.85726884
somebody with sense.

43
00:02:52,105.85726884 --> 00:03:00,55.85726884
But I couldn't take a chance on giving her a buzz because she was only a little kid and she wouldn't have been up, let alone anywhere near the phone.

44
00:03:00,445.85726884 --> 00:03:03,835.85726884
So he thinks little kids have sense and I would have to agree with him.

45
00:03:03,971.32834408 --> 00:03:10,192.52730696
a lot of times, even though we think little kids are nonsensical, they're usually the ones with the most sense.

46
00:03:10,245.56195882 --> 00:03:14,205.56195882
when you're a little kid, a lot of your life is trying to figure out what works.

47
00:03:14,700.56195882 --> 00:03:15,90.56195882
Right.

48
00:03:15,165.56195882 --> 00:03:17,685.56195882
know what I mean? And it's like very practical.

49
00:03:17,925.56195882 --> 00:03:18,195.56195882
Yeah.

50
00:03:18,195.56195882 --> 00:03:23,715.56195882
They come up with crazy ideas 'cause they're little kids and they have fantastic imaginations.

51
00:03:23,715.56195882 --> 00:03:25,984.95236977
That's why we think they're nonsensical.

52
00:03:27,315.56195882 --> 00:03:32,85.56195882
I thought of maybe hanging up if my parents answered, but that wouldn't have worked either.

53
00:03:32,445.56195882 --> 00:03:33,675.56195882
They'd know it was me.

54
00:03:34,95.56195882 --> 00:03:35,925.56195882
My mother always knows it's me.

55
00:03:36,165.56195882 --> 00:03:42,13.79483553
She's psychic, but I certainly wouldn't have minded shooting the crap with old Phoebe for a while.

56
00:03:42,523.79483553 --> 00:03:43,573.79483553
You should see her.

57
00:03:43,963.79483553 --> 00:03:45,253.79483553
You never saw a little kid.

58
00:03:45,253.79483553 --> 00:03:47,503.79483553
So pretty and smart in your whole life.

59
00:03:47,773.79483553 --> 00:03:48,943.79483553
She's really smart.

60
00:03:49,393.79483553 --> 00:03:52,972.41209854
I mean, she's had all A's ever since she started school.

61
00:03:53,993.79483553 --> 00:03:56,843.79483553
As a matter of fact, I'm the only dumb one in the family.

62
00:03:56,843.79483553 --> 00:03:57,708.79483553
Oh, come on.

63
00:03:58,363.79483553 --> 00:04:00,121.09177037
Yeah, low self-esteem.

64
00:04:01,159.14482548 --> 00:04:07,669.14482548
My brother DB is a writer and all, and my brother Ally, the one that died that I told you about was a wizard.

65
00:04:08,119.14482548 --> 00:04:11,839.14482548
I'm the only really dumb one, but you oughts, see old Phoebe.

66
00:04:11,929.14482548 --> 00:04:15,714.21889048
She has this sort of red hair a little bit like Ally's was.

67
00:04:15,924.21889048 --> 00:04:17,814.21889048
That's very short In the summertime.

68
00:04:18,264.21889048 --> 00:04:21,114.21889048
In the summertime, she sticks it behind her ears.

69
00:04:21,505.94123009 --> 00:04:24,865.94123009
She has nice, pretty little ears in the wintertime.

70
00:04:24,865.94123009 --> 00:04:25,915.94123009
It's pretty long though.

71
00:04:26,275.94123009 --> 00:04:29,545.94123009
Sometimes my mother braids it and sometimes she doesn't.

72
00:04:30,55.94123009 --> 00:04:31,135.94123009
It's really nice though.

73
00:04:31,255.94123009 --> 00:04:32,275.94123009
She's only 10.

74
00:04:32,562.70396025 --> 00:04:34,362.70396025
He really likes his little sister.

75
00:04:34,587.70396025 --> 00:04:35,97.70396025
Yeah.

76
00:04:35,157.70396025 --> 00:04:36,687.70396025
Yeah, she's really nice.

77
00:04:37,614.15396098 --> 00:04:38,754.15396098
She's only 10.

78
00:04:38,844.15396098 --> 00:04:43,314.15396098
She's quite skinny like me, but nice skinny roller, skate skinny.

79
00:04:43,704.15396098 --> 00:04:49,764.15396098
I watched her once from the window when she was crossing over fifth Avenue to go to the park, and that's what she is.

80
00:04:49,974.15396098 --> 00:04:50,754.15396098
Roller skate.

81
00:04:50,754.15396098 --> 00:04:51,294.15396098
Skinny.

82
00:04:51,744.15396098 --> 00:04:53,184.15396098
I don't know what that means.

83
00:04:53,819.15396098 --> 00:04:56,519.15396098
Mean something to him, but it means nothing to me.

84
00:04:56,585.72207262 --> 00:04:59,460.72207262
I'm more of recliner fat Jennifer.

85
00:04:59,780.45670539 --> 00:05:02,181.80338031
Uh, You'd like her.

86
00:05:02,241.80338031 --> 00:05:06,921.80338031
I mean, if you tell old Phoebe something, she knows exactly what the hell you're talking about.

87
00:05:07,611.80338031 --> 00:05:10,11.80338031
I mean, you can even take her anywhere with you.

88
00:05:10,401.80338031 --> 00:05:14,691.80338031
If you take her to a lousy movie, for instance, she knows it's a lousy movie.

89
00:05:15,141.80338031 --> 00:05:18,681.80338031
If you take her to a pretty good movie, she knows it's a pretty good movie.

90
00:05:18,681.80338031 --> 00:05:22,610.41451816
Well, she's a person, right? Like I don't understand.

91
00:05:22,970.41451816 --> 00:05:24,710.41451816
This means Yeah, she's not a dog.

92
00:05:24,795.47381411 --> 00:05:25,635.47381411
she gets it.

93
00:05:26,635.47381411 --> 00:05:30,835.47381411
DB and I took courtesy, this French movie, the Baker's Wife with.

94
00:05:32,95.47381411 --> 00:05:33,985.47381411
In it, it killed her.

95
00:05:34,45.47381411 --> 00:05:38,125.47381411
Her favorite is the 39 steps, though, with Robert Donut.

96
00:05:38,695.47381411 --> 00:05:39,145.47381411
Donut.

97
00:05:40,450.47381411 --> 00:05:42,365.47381411
I dunno what it, dumb.

98
00:05:43,178.29608254 --> 00:05:56,168.29608254
We know it's not donut, but because our minds are so small, is that donut? Is that what that word is? How would you, isn't it a long or a, uh, don't donut donut.

99
00:05:56,193.29608254 --> 00:05:56,543.29608254
Donut.

100
00:05:57,278.29608254 --> 00:05:59,348.29608254
Donut as oh, oh, oh.

101
00:05:59,348.29608254 --> 00:05:59,888.29608254
Wait, wait.

102
00:05:59,888.29608254 --> 00:05:59,948.29608254
All.

103
00:06:00,948.29608254 --> 00:06:18,798.29608254
She knows the whole goddamn movie by heart because I've taken her to see it about 10 times when old Donut comes up to his scotch farmhouse, for instance, when he's running away from the cops and all Phoebe will say, write out loud in the movie, right? When the scotch guy in the picture says it.

104
00:06:19,473.29608254 --> 00:06:23,193.29608254
Can you eat the herring? She knows all the talk by heart.

105
00:06:23,343.29608254 --> 00:06:34,263.29608254
And when this professor in this picture that's really a German spy, sticks up his little finger with part of the middle joint missing to show Robert Donut old Phoebe beats him to it.

106
00:06:34,593.29608254 --> 00:06:38,283.29608254
She holds up her finger at me in the dark, right in front of my face.

107
00:06:39,537.93137587 --> 00:06:40,532.93137587
It is pretty cute.

108
00:06:40,532.93137587 --> 00:06:44,643.41109095
I like this whole interaction between the two that, that's adorable.

109
00:06:45,643.41109095 --> 00:06:46,573.41109095
She is all right.

110
00:06:46,603.41109095 --> 00:06:47,383.41109095
You'd like her.

111
00:06:47,593.41109095 --> 00:06:51,163.41109095
The only trouble is she's a little too affectionate sometimes.

112
00:06:51,583.41109095 --> 00:06:53,653.41109095
She's very emotional for a child.

113
00:06:53,743.41109095 --> 00:06:54,763.41109095
She really is.

114
00:06:55,408.41109095 --> 00:06:56,788.41109095
But I bet she's not.

115
00:06:56,994.48919845 --> 00:06:59,664.48919845
I have a feeling Phoebe is really normal.

116
00:06:59,724.48919845 --> 00:07:02,334.48919845
It seems like she's super normal so far.

117
00:07:02,424.48919845 --> 00:07:03,834.48919845
You know, she's really affectionate.

118
00:07:03,924.48919845 --> 00:07:09,248.95984915
Well, why? Because she shows affection, Uh, I think you're hitting on something there.

119
00:07:09,642.41297865 --> 00:07:11,562.41297865
he does have affection and feelings.

120
00:07:11,562.41297865 --> 00:07:13,507.98747557
He just never lets it out.

121
00:07:13,507.98747557 --> 00:07:13,537.98747557
I.

122
00:07:15,71.31191233 --> 00:07:16,151.31191233
Something else she does.

123
00:07:16,151.31191233 --> 00:07:17,711.31191233
She writes books all the time.

124
00:07:17,951.31191233 --> 00:07:18,251.31191233
Only.

125
00:07:18,251.31191233 --> 00:07:19,541.31191233
She doesn't finish them.

126
00:07:19,961.31191233 --> 00:07:22,991.31191233
They're all about some kid named Hazel Weatherfield.

127
00:07:24,6.10709634 --> 00:07:26,676.10709634
Old Hazel Weatherfield is a girl detective.

128
00:07:27,66.10709634 --> 00:07:30,906.10709634
She's supposed to be an orphan, but her old man keeps showing up.

129
00:07:31,326.10709634 --> 00:07:36,66.10709634
Her old man's always a tall, attractive gentleman about 20 years of age.

130
00:07:36,377.73397601 --> 00:07:37,427.73397601
That kills me.

131
00:07:37,681.68623162 --> 00:07:38,671.68623162
Old Phoebe.

132
00:07:38,941.68623162 --> 00:07:39,751.68623162
I swear to God.

133
00:07:39,811.68623162 --> 00:07:40,411.68623162
You'd like her.

134
00:07:40,441.68623162 --> 00:07:47,131.68623162
'cause she was smart even when she was a very tiny little kid, when she was a very tiny little kid.

135
00:07:47,431.68623162 --> 00:07:57,404.24415157
I and Allie used to take her to the park with us, Allie had this sailboat he used to like to fool around with on Sundays, and we used to take old Phoebe with us.

136
00:07:57,824.24415157 --> 00:08:01,844.24415157
She'd wear white gloves and walk right between us, like a lady and all.

137
00:08:02,294.24415157 --> 00:08:08,654.24415157
And when Allie and I were having some conversation about things in general, old Phoebe would be listening.

138
00:08:09,74.24415157 --> 00:08:13,364.24415157
Sometimes you'd forget she was around because she was such a little kid.

139
00:08:13,904.24415157 --> 00:08:14,789.24415157
But she'd let you know.

140
00:08:15,414.24415157 --> 00:08:17,124.24415157
She'd interrupt you all the time.

141
00:08:17,424.24415157 --> 00:08:26,635.39747453
She'd give Ally or I a push or something and say, who? Who said that? And we'd tell her who said it and she'd say, oh, and go right on.

142
00:08:26,635.39747453 --> 00:08:27,55.39747453
Listening.

143
00:08:27,55.39747453 --> 00:08:28,970.83098687
And all She killed Ali too.

144
00:08:29,120.83098687 --> 00:08:30,440.83098687
I mean, he liked her.

145
00:08:30,800.83098687 --> 00:08:36,290.83098687
She's 10 now and not such a tiny little kid anymore, but she still kills everybody.

146
00:08:36,380.83098687 --> 00:08:37,910.83098687
Everybody, with any sense.

147
00:08:37,910.83098687 --> 00:08:50,819.99346055
Anyway, aNyway, she was somebody you always felt like talking to on the phone.

148
00:08:51,332.8674602 --> 00:08:57,422.8674602
but I was too afraid my parents would answer and then they'd find out I was in New York and kicked outta PE and all.

149
00:08:57,752.8674602 --> 00:08:59,942.8674602
So I just finished putting on my shirt.

150
00:09:00,632.8674602 --> 00:09:05,432.8674602
Then I got all ready and went down in the elevator to the lobby to see what was going on.

151
00:09:05,822.8674602 --> 00:09:09,362.8674602
Well, you know, it's kind of sad because he's not able to do what he wants to do.

152
00:09:09,619.8976629 --> 00:09:11,989.8976629
What he wants to do is go home, like you said.

153
00:09:12,784.8976629 --> 00:09:14,854.8976629
Yeah, He wants to see his sister.

154
00:09:15,305.8131639 --> 00:09:18,992.31216476
He just can't deal with disappointing his parents, I guess.

155
00:09:18,992.31216476 --> 00:09:21,212.31216476
I mean, it makes sense when you're a kid, you don't know better.

156
00:09:21,212.31216476 --> 00:09:29,888.17772627
But one thing that I've found out in life is, and I wish I would've learned it earlier, if you're facing bad news, Deal with it right away.

157
00:09:29,888.17772627 --> 00:09:32,288.17772627
The sooner you deal with it, it's done.

158
00:09:32,738.17772627 --> 00:09:34,808.17772627
And he could be with his sister right now.

159
00:09:35,78.17772627 --> 00:09:41,927.74416604
They'd be laying in bed, making, making hand shadows on the ceiling with a flashlight, and he'd be having a better time than he is now.

160
00:09:42,0.50618529 --> 00:09:45,58.11896002
Yeah, It's sad and it's where people can get in trouble.

161
00:09:45,193.59297793 --> 00:09:47,263.59297793
Like I'm actually worried for him right now.

162
00:09:47,356.38632072 --> 00:09:53,236.38632072
cause he is just floating out there and he is kinda lonely and cut he's in New York, a seedy part of New York.

163
00:09:53,236.38632072 --> 00:09:55,536.12671399
In the middle of the night, he should be home.

164
00:09:55,676.73053526 --> 00:09:57,386.73053526
He should be home where he is safe.

165
00:09:57,386.73053526 --> 00:09:57,806.73053526
Yeah.

166
00:09:58,25.00447057 --> 00:10:02,15.00447057
Ah, anyways, let's see what happens when it goes down to the lavender room.

167
00:10:05,475.0609196 --> 00:10:09,795.0609196
except for a few pimpy looking guys and a few hory looking blondes.

168
00:10:09,915.0609196 --> 00:10:11,445.0609196
The lobby was pretty empty.

169
00:10:11,824.61195874 --> 00:10:14,404.61195874
But you could hear the band playing in the lavender room.

170
00:10:14,494.61195874 --> 00:10:15,574.61195874
And so I went in.

171
00:10:16,204.61195874 --> 00:10:19,414.61195874
It wasn't very crowded, but they gave me a lousy table.

172
00:10:19,414.61195874 --> 00:10:23,824.61195874
Anyway, way in the back, I should have waved a buck under the head.

173
00:10:23,824.61195874 --> 00:10:27,634.61195874
Waiter's nose in New York, money really talks.

174
00:10:27,754.61195874 --> 00:10:28,684.61195874
I'm not kidding.

175
00:10:29,254.61195874 --> 00:10:30,634.61195874
The band was putrid.

176
00:10:31,54.61195874 --> 00:10:31,954.61195874
Buddy singer.

177
00:10:32,164.61195874 --> 00:10:39,562.59140704
very brassy, but not good brassy, corny brassy also, there were very few people around my age in the place.

178
00:10:39,802.59140704 --> 00:10:41,992.59140704
In fact, nobody was around my age.

179
00:10:42,52.59140704 --> 00:10:42,772.59140704
Well, Sure.

180
00:10:42,772.59140704 --> 00:10:44,283.11618999
but you shouldn't be there either.

181
00:10:44,283.11618999 --> 00:10:47,103.11618999
There are no other teens At a nightclub.

182
00:10:47,103.11618999 --> 00:10:48,963.11618999
At a CD hotel in the middle of the night.

183
00:10:48,993.11618999 --> 00:10:49,653.11618999
Wow.

184
00:10:49,653.11618999 --> 00:10:50,463.11618999
Weird.

185
00:10:50,918.70685423 --> 00:10:56,498.70685423
They were mostly old showoffy looking guys with their dates except at the table right next to me.

186
00:10:56,924.00146926 --> 00:11:01,634.00146926
At the table right next to me, there were these three girls around 30 or so.

187
00:11:01,983.46251608 --> 00:11:11,883.46251608
The whole three of them were pretty ugly, and they all had on the kind of hats that you knew, they really didn't live in New York, but one of them, the blonde one wasn't too bad.

188
00:11:12,363.46251608 --> 00:11:16,863.46251608
She was sort of cute, the blonde one, and I started giving her the old eye a bit.

189
00:11:17,223.46251608 --> 00:11:19,683.46251608
But just then the waiter came up for my order.

190
00:11:20,806.45330626 --> 00:11:24,256.45330626
I ordered a scotch and soda and told him not to mix it.

191
00:11:24,856.45330626 --> 00:11:31,996.45330626
I said it fast as hell because if you hem and haw, they think you're under 21 and won't sell you any intoxicating liquor.

192
00:11:32,290.86548545 --> 00:11:34,90.86548545
I had trouble with him anyway though.

193
00:11:34,254.3952288 --> 00:11:35,214.3952288
I'm sorry, sir.

194
00:11:35,214.3952288 --> 00:11:41,464.3952288
He said, but do you have some verification of your age, your driver's license perhaps, oh, this is good.

195
00:11:41,464.3952288 --> 00:11:45,574.3952288
What lies is he gonna come up with? Jennifer, last time he had to come up with something on the spot.

196
00:11:45,574.3952288 --> 00:11:47,464.3952288
He said he had a tumor on his brain.

197
00:11:47,854.3952288 --> 00:11:48,814.3952288
Oh, that's right.

198
00:11:48,844.3952288 --> 00:11:49,624.3952288
Oh my gosh.

199
00:11:50,14.3952288 --> 00:11:52,294.3952288
I, I can't even imagine what he's gonna say.

200
00:11:53,14.3952288 --> 00:11:54,4.3952288
I don't have my license.

201
00:11:54,4.3952288 --> 00:11:54,844.3952288
I have a tumor.

202
00:11:57,409.3952288 --> 00:11:58,609.3952288
That's his go-to.

203
00:11:59,775.87052097 --> 00:12:10,159.8460685
I gave him this very cold stare, like he'd insulted the hell outta me and asked him, do I look like I'm under 21? I'm sorry sir, but we have our, okay.

204
00:12:10,164.8460685 --> 00:12:10,744.8460685
Okay.

205
00:12:10,744.8460685 --> 00:12:12,994.8460685
I said, I figured the hell with it.

206
00:12:13,384.8460685 --> 00:12:14,404.8460685
Bring me a coke.

207
00:12:14,654.8460685 --> 00:12:16,964.8460685
He started to go away, but I called him back.

208
00:12:17,110.31976795 --> 00:12:20,110.31976795
Can't you stick a little ruminate or something? I asked him.

209
00:12:20,357.33682814 --> 00:12:22,37.33682814
I asked him very nicely and all.

210
00:12:22,176.31237566 --> 00:12:24,366.31237566
I can't sit in a corny place like this.

211
00:12:24,366.31237566 --> 00:12:25,296.31237566
Cold, sober.

212
00:12:25,656.31237566 --> 00:12:29,558.38800869
Can't you stick a little ruminate or something? I'm very sorry, sir.

213
00:12:29,558.38800869 --> 00:12:31,688.38800869
He said, and be it in on me.

214
00:12:32,61.17674924 --> 00:12:33,711.17674924
I didn't hold it against him though.

215
00:12:33,845.14718009 --> 00:12:34,835.14718009
they lose their jobs.

216
00:12:34,835.14718009 --> 00:12:36,905.14718009
If they get caught selling to a minor.

217
00:12:37,253.5000377 --> 00:12:38,663.5000377
I'm a goddamn minor.

218
00:12:38,966.53643368 --> 00:12:41,606.53643368
I started giving the three witches at the next table.

219
00:12:41,606.53643368 --> 00:12:44,153.04794965
The eye again, that is the blonde one.

220
00:12:44,363.04794965 --> 00:12:46,433.04794965
The other two were strictly from hunger.

221
00:12:46,793.04794965 --> 00:12:48,713.04794965
That is an old person, Shane.

222
00:12:48,909.60467442 --> 00:12:49,299.60467442
Yeah.

223
00:12:49,546.17476324 --> 00:12:59,209.2635072
robot, what does that saying mean? Strictly from hunger means terrible, pathetic, only acceptable if you're desperate enough to take anything.

224
00:12:59,329.2635072 --> 00:13:08,509.2635072
The phrase popped up in American slang in the 1930s, most likely from Yiddish immigrants using fun hunger to describe something so bad you'd only wanted if you were starving.

225
00:13:08,599.2635072 --> 00:13:19,279.2635072
Holden's, basically saying those two women weren't worth his time under any circumstances, which given how he's about to spend the rest of this episode with all three of them, is an interesting position to take.

226
00:13:19,603.80896175 --> 00:13:19,803.80896175
Woo.

227
00:13:24,612.12197611 --> 00:13:26,172.12197611
I didn't do it crudely though.

228
00:13:26,412.12197611 --> 00:13:29,832.12197611
I just gave all three of them this very cool glance and all.

229
00:13:30,432.12197611 --> 00:13:35,292.12197611
What they did though, the three of them when I did it, they started giggling like morons.

230
00:13:35,292.12197611 --> 00:13:40,422.12197611
Well, maybe they're underage too, that's, that's such a, a girl move.

231
00:13:41,112.12197611 --> 00:13:45,852.12197611
They probably thought that I was too young to give anybody the once over that.

232
00:13:45,852.12197611 --> 00:13:47,52.12197611
Annoyed the hell outta me.

233
00:13:47,532.12197611 --> 00:13:49,812.12197611
You'd have thought I wanted to marry them or something.

234
00:13:50,472.2799386 --> 00:13:52,872.2799386
I should have given them the freeze after they did that.

235
00:13:53,232.2799386 --> 00:13:56,262.2799386
But the trouble was I really felt like dancing.

236
00:13:56,802.2799386 --> 00:14:00,692.2799386
I'm very fond of dancing sometimes, and this was one of those times.

237
00:14:01,112.2799386 --> 00:14:02,822.2799386
So I'll, to impress these girls.

238
00:14:03,482.2799386 --> 00:14:08,882.2799386
He should get on that dance floor, Jennifer, and start tap dancing and go, I'm the governor's son.

239
00:14:11,507.2799386 --> 00:14:12,987.2799386
I forgot about that.

240
00:14:13,292.2799386 --> 00:14:14,252.2799386
Takes his shirt off.

241
00:14:14,252.2799386 --> 00:14:16,22.2799386
He's naked and like he's in the bathroom.

242
00:14:16,262.2799386 --> 00:14:16,742.2799386
Arad letter.

243
00:14:16,952.2799386 --> 00:14:19,682.2799386
Do you hear me? Everyone? I'm the governor's son.

244
00:14:22,82.2799386 --> 00:14:22,587.2799386
Tap dancing.

245
00:14:26,72.2799386 --> 00:14:34,277.2799386
So all of a sudden I sort of leaned over and said, would any of you girls care to dance? I didn't ask them crudely or anything.

246
00:14:34,487.2799386 --> 00:14:37,367.2799386
Very suave in fact, but God damnit.

247
00:14:37,577.2799386 --> 00:14:39,497.2799386
They thought that was a panic too.

248
00:14:39,857.2799386 --> 00:14:41,477.2799386
They started giggling some more.

249
00:14:42,17.2799386 --> 00:14:42,887.2799386
I'm not kidding.

250
00:14:42,977.2799386 --> 00:14:44,927.2799386
They were three real morons.

251
00:14:45,347.2799386 --> 00:14:45,767.2799386
Come on.

252
00:14:45,767.2799386 --> 00:14:47,957.2799386
I said, I'll dance with you one at a time.

253
00:14:48,17.2799386 --> 00:14:50,447.2799386
Alright, how about it? Come on.

254
00:14:50,837.2799386 --> 00:14:52,367.2799386
I really felt like dancing.

255
00:14:52,727.2799386 --> 00:15:00,377.2799386
Finally, the blonde one got up to dance with me because you could tell I was really talking to her and we walked out to the dance floor.

256
00:15:00,977.2799386 --> 00:15:04,307.2799386
The other two goals nearly had hysterics one, and we did.

257
00:15:04,877.2799386 --> 00:15:10,217.2799386
I certainly must have been very hard up to even bother with any of them, but it was worth it.

258
00:15:10,757.2799386 --> 00:15:12,467.2799386
The blonde was some dancer.

259
00:15:12,947.2799386 --> 00:15:15,797.2799386
She was one of the best dancers I ever danced with.

260
00:15:15,917.2799386 --> 00:15:16,757.2799386
I'm not kidding.

261
00:15:16,877.2799386 --> 00:15:21,137.2799386
Some of these very stupid girls can really knock you out on a dance floor.

262
00:15:21,617.2799386 --> 00:15:28,487.2799386
You take a really smart girl and half the time she's trying to lead you around the dance floor or else she's such a lousy dancer.

263
00:15:28,637.2799386 --> 00:15:32,267.2799386
The best thing to do is stay at the table and just get drunk with her.

264
00:15:32,957.2799386 --> 00:15:33,947.2799386
You really can dance.

265
00:15:33,947.2799386 --> 00:15:36,617.2799386
I told the blonde one, you ought to be a pro.

266
00:15:36,827.2799386 --> 00:15:37,397.2799386
I mean it.

267
00:15:37,817.2799386 --> 00:15:41,237.2799386
I danced with the Pro once and you're twice as good as she was.

268
00:15:41,717.2799386 --> 00:15:47,627.2799386
Did you ever hear of Marco and Miranda? What she said? She wasn't even listening to me.

269
00:15:48,17.2799386 --> 00:15:49,967.2799386
She was looking all around the place.

270
00:15:51,106.47831632 --> 00:15:56,81.5007006
I said, did you ever hear of Marco and Miranda? I don't know.

271
00:15:56,111.5007006 --> 00:15:57,851.5007006
No, I don't know.

272
00:15:58,301.5007006 --> 00:15:59,681.5007006
Well, they're dancers.

273
00:15:59,771.5007006 --> 00:16:00,911.5007006
She's a dancer.

274
00:16:01,151.5007006 --> 00:16:02,681.5007006
She's not too hot though.

275
00:16:02,951.5007006 --> 00:16:06,221.5007006
She does everything she's supposed to, but she's not so hot.

276
00:16:06,251.5007006 --> 00:16:06,851.5007006
Anyway.

277
00:16:07,106.5007006 --> 00:16:11,126.5007006
Either he's talking like Trump or he's talking like Frank Sinatra.

278
00:16:11,231.5007006 --> 00:16:14,561.5007006
Well, they're both like, that's how, those are New York people, right? I know.

279
00:16:14,621.5007006 --> 00:16:17,572.36947571
Sinatra's, New Jersey, but like that whole area.

280
00:16:17,920.53330211 --> 00:16:20,335.53330211
not Not not too hot.

281
00:16:22,22.87312196 --> 00:16:22,922.87312196
Well, they're dancers.

282
00:16:22,922.87312196 --> 00:16:23,912.87312196
She's a dancer.

283
00:16:24,272.87312196 --> 00:16:27,122.87312196
She does everything she's supposed to, but she's not so hot.

284
00:16:27,152.87312196 --> 00:16:34,344.14985343
Anyway, you know when a girl's really a terrific dancer? What'd you say? She said she wasn't listening to me.

285
00:16:34,344.14985343 --> 00:16:37,674.14985343
Even her mind was wandering all over the place.

286
00:16:37,920.93081943 --> 00:16:48,15.9308194
I said, do you know when a girl's a really terrific dancer? Well, where I have my hand on your back if I think there isn't anything underneath my hand.

287
00:16:48,375.9308194 --> 00:16:51,525.9308194
No can, no legs, no feet, no anything.

288
00:16:51,885.9308194 --> 00:16:54,165.9308194
Then the girl's a really terrific dancer.

289
00:16:54,615.9308194 --> 00:16:57,915.9308194
She wasn't listening though, so I ignored her for a while.

290
00:16:58,573.4933704 --> 00:16:59,713.4933704
We just danced.

291
00:16:59,923.4933704 --> 00:17:02,668.4933704
God could that dopey girl dance Oh my God.

292
00:17:02,668.4933704 --> 00:17:03,268.4933704
We got it.

293
00:17:03,688.4933704 --> 00:17:04,438.4933704
We got it.

294
00:17:04,858.4933704 --> 00:17:09,27.5121042
You think she's a good dancer? this must just be internal dialogue.

295
00:17:10,17.5121042 --> 00:17:13,257.5121042
What's it like to be in Holden? Call Phil's head twenty four seven.

296
00:17:13,872.5121042 --> 00:17:14,562.5121042
weird.

297
00:17:15,42.5121042 --> 00:17:15,612.5121042
weird.

298
00:17:15,732.5121042 --> 00:17:25,242.5121042
I bet you know, it, it's, it's interesting because you know how earlier we thought that he has really low self-esteem because he said I'm the dumb one in our family.

299
00:17:26,52.5121042 --> 00:17:26,142.5121042
Right.

300
00:17:27,597.5121042 --> 00:17:33,957.5121042
Does he have low self-esteem? Because at the same time he's got a healthy dose of entitlement.

301
00:17:35,97.5121042 --> 00:17:38,727.5121042
Like I'm trying to dance with this dumb moron.

302
00:17:39,327.5121042 --> 00:17:42,417.5121042
Like, you know what I mean? Like, I'm better than her in every way.

303
00:17:42,417.5121042 --> 00:17:47,277.5121042
I mean, I'm the dumbest guy in our family, but I'm bet I'm a better dancer than this moron.

304
00:17:48,432.5121042 --> 00:17:49,762.5121042
It's just very interesting.

305
00:17:49,842.5121042 --> 00:17:53,37.5121042
I, I really, what you just asked is a good point.

306
00:17:53,37.5121042 --> 00:17:57,597.5121042
What is it like to be in his head? Yeah, good lord.

307
00:17:57,867.5121042 --> 00:18:06,927.5121042
Um, buddy, singer and his stinky band was playing.

308
00:18:07,137.5121042 --> 00:18:08,547.5121042
Just one of those things.

309
00:18:08,547.5121042 --> 00:18:09,837.5121042
Okay, now I have to hear that.

310
00:18:09,867.5121042 --> 00:18:13,227.5121042
I'm gonna look that up just so I know what type of music they're dancing to.

311
00:18:13,887.5121042 --> 00:18:14,217.5121042
Oh yeah.

312
00:18:14,217.5121042 --> 00:18:18,387.5121042
So actually let me use, yeah, robot play a little of that.

313
00:18:18,597.5121042 --> 00:18:26,297.5121042
Can you play that? Do you have that in your little computer chip thing? Oh, here's Frank Sinatra singing it.

314
00:18:27,342.5121042 --> 00:18:27,632.5121042
Okay.

315
00:18:32,697.5121042 --> 00:18:34,47.5121042
Well, it probably shouldn't do.

316
00:18:34,47.5121042 --> 00:18:38,292.5121042
Frank Sinatra what? 1935.

317
00:18:38,752.5121042 --> 00:18:38,972.5121042
Oh.

318
00:18:44,452.5121042 --> 00:18:45,352.5121042
Oh, it sounds good.

319
00:18:46,527.5121042 --> 00:18:50,937.5121042
This is a song that they dance to or that buddy singer in the club is singing.

320
00:18:50,967.5121042 --> 00:18:52,557.5121042
It's a 1935 song.

321
00:18:52,557.5121042 --> 00:18:58,767.5121042
Can we play that? Is that public domain or No? 1935.

322
00:18:58,812.5121042 --> 00:19:04,182.5121042
could dance to this one of those crazy flings.

323
00:19:06,747.5121042 --> 00:19:08,232.5121042
Oh yeah, I know this song.

324
00:19:09,627.5121042 --> 00:19:10,707.5121042
You could dance to this.

325
00:19:10,842.5121042 --> 00:19:10,962.5121042
I.

326
00:19:16,887.5121042 --> 00:19:17,757.5121042
Very nice.

327
00:19:18,507.5121042 --> 00:19:23,907.5121042
Yeah, I could do I'm gonna play it just for a few seconds because it is public domain and we're talking about it.

328
00:19:24,177.5121042 --> 00:19:24,897.5121042
Alright, great.

329
00:19:25,317.5121042 --> 00:19:26,397.5121042
Just make sure I can do that.

330
00:19:27,897.5121042 --> 00:19:33,57.5121042
Oh, I didn't mean public domain.

331
00:19:33,147.5121042 --> 00:19:40,167.5121042
I, but I'm gonna play it for a few seconds because it's, uh, fair use because we're talking critically about it.

332
00:19:48,417.5121042 --> 00:19:50,877.5121042
That said, fair use is a defense, not a right.

333
00:19:50,967.5121042 --> 00:19:51,687.5121042
I got it.

334
00:19:51,687.5121042 --> 00:19:52,107.5121042
I got it.

335
00:19:52,107.5121042 --> 00:19:54,447.5121042
This whole goddamn show is, is illegal.

336
00:20:00,267.5121042 --> 00:20:06,957.5121042
Um, I, I, I couldn't dance to this.

337
00:20:06,957.5121042 --> 00:20:09,742.5121042
There's no way You couldn't dance 'cause your knee's I.

338
00:20:10,812.5121042 --> 00:20:11,442.5121042
No, no, no.

339
00:20:11,442.5121042 --> 00:20:13,362.5121042
I couldn't dance to this music.

340
00:20:13,482.5121042 --> 00:20:14,352.5121042
When I danced.

341
00:20:14,352.5121042 --> 00:20:18,432.5121042
I danced to the only music that matters, kid.

342
00:20:18,432.5121042 --> 00:20:21,672.5121042
Rock God, body.

343
00:20:21,942.5121042 --> 00:20:22,62.5121042
B.

344
00:20:22,62.5121042 --> 00:20:22,392.5121042
B body.

345
00:20:22,487.5121042 --> 00:20:22,607.5121042
B.

346
00:20:22,727.5121042 --> 00:20:23,167.5121042
B, B.

347
00:20:23,412.5121042 --> 00:20:24,672.5121042
What the Did you see the.

348
00:20:25,782.5121042 --> 00:20:26,502.5121042
Video.

349
00:20:26,547.5121042 --> 00:20:27,107.5121042
Grotesque.

350
00:20:27,667.5121042 --> 00:20:28,267.5121042
Grotesque.

351
00:20:32,117.5121042 --> 00:20:33,227.5121042
Jesus Christ.

352
00:20:34,662.5121042 --> 00:20:39,342.5121042
There's just something about someone being naked except for jeans.

353
00:20:39,342.5121042 --> 00:20:41,713.0945107
It just, it's so nasty.

354
00:20:42,563.8322256 --> 00:20:45,623.8322256
I do not care if it's Brad Pitt.

355
00:20:46,28.8322256 --> 00:20:46,318.8322256
Yeah.

356
00:20:46,793.8322256 --> 00:20:48,808.8322256
It's like just da da da.

357
00:20:49,703.8322256 --> 00:20:50,903.8322256
Put something on.

358
00:20:55,403.8322256 --> 00:21:01,823.8322256
Why is being full naked more? Being naked like fully is is better.

359
00:21:02,993.8322256 --> 00:21:06,413.8322256
It's more acceptable than naked with just pants on.

360
00:21:09,548.8322256 --> 00:21:17,459.1198969
It's like the color of skin next to jeans is just a, Ugh, Anyone see that coming on your Jennifer Bingo card? That's a new one.

361
00:21:18,179.1198969 --> 00:21:19,349.1198969
That's a new one.

362
00:21:20,188.5765179 --> 00:21:21,148.5765179
Um, it's okay.

363
00:21:21,538.5765179 --> 00:21:24,328.5765179
I didn't try any trick stuff while we danced.

364
00:21:24,448.5765179 --> 00:21:29,758.5765179
I hate a guy that does a lot of show offy tricky stuff on the dance floor, but I was.

365
00:21:30,73.5765179 --> 00:21:30,183.5765179
Look at me.

366
00:21:30,183.5765179 --> 00:21:30,868.5765179
I'm the governor's son.

367
00:21:33,568.5765179 --> 00:21:37,348.5765179
But I was moving her around plenty and she stayed with me.

368
00:21:38,8.5765179 --> 00:21:45,58.5765179
The funny thing is, I thought she was enjoying it too, till all of a sudden she came out with this very dumb remark.

369
00:21:45,628.5765179 --> 00:21:48,598.5765179
I and my girlfriend saw Peter Lori last night.

370
00:21:48,598.5765179 --> 00:21:52,948.5765179
She said the actor, the movie actor in person.

371
00:21:53,68.5765179 --> 00:21:55,48.5765179
He was buying a newspaper.

372
00:21:55,258.5765179 --> 00:21:56,248.5765179
He's cute.

373
00:21:57,448.5765179 --> 00:22:02,338.5765179
Have you seen that guy? Yeah, he is cute, is a interesting phrase.

374
00:22:02,368.5765179 --> 00:22:03,568.5765179
like a literal bug.

375
00:22:05,818.5765179 --> 00:22:08,68.5765179
Sorry, I shouldn't make fun of people's looks.

376
00:22:08,918.5765179 --> 00:22:09,638.5765179
You are lucky.

377
00:22:09,638.5765179 --> 00:22:12,638.5765179
I told her you're really lucky, you know that.

378
00:22:12,808.5765179 --> 00:22:14,488.5765179
But she was really a moron.

379
00:22:15,71.9098512 --> 00:22:16,31.9098512
End of section.

380
00:22:22,166.9098512 --> 00:22:24,296.9098512
Go to bed.

381
00:22:24,701.9098512 --> 00:22:28,793.5765179
Right, It's time for PPP Problematic Points to Ponder.

382
00:22:28,843.5765179 --> 00:22:43,758.2005212
What, if anything, would be considered ban worthy in this chapter? The fact that the waiter or bartender or whatever wanted to card Holden back in like 1951 or whenever this book happened, that cannot be why they wanted this band.

383
00:22:43,758.2005212 --> 00:22:47,973.4625033
I mean, it actually seemed like a pretty responsible society back then.

384
00:22:48,267.8495501 --> 00:22:48,777.8495501
sure.

385
00:22:49,7.1797326 --> 00:22:59,837.1797326
I, again, I, there's nothing about this that could be worthy other than the fact that there is a kid, a teenager on the loose, in a seedy part of New York City, but that's just part of the story.

386
00:22:59,837.1797326 --> 00:23:01,217.1797326
That's where the story took us.

387
00:23:01,676.4011713 --> 00:23:02,336.4011713
Yeah.

388
00:23:02,546.4011713 --> 00:23:05,96.4011713
I mean, and he does use the word Horry and Pimpy.

389
00:23:05,202.8074561 --> 00:23:05,382.8074561
Ah.

390
00:23:05,382.8074561 --> 00:23:07,212.8074561
You kind of say hory like that.

391
00:23:07,212.8074561 --> 00:23:08,232.8074561
It kind of sounds cute.

392
00:23:09,42.8074561 --> 00:23:09,882.8074561
little hory.

393
00:23:15,118.4961907 --> 00:23:28,760.8919772
Robots log thoughts on affection and not knowing where to put it before he went downstairs before the band and the bond, who wouldn't listen, Holden sat in his hotel room and thought about his sister, old Phoebe roller skate skinny red hair like alleys.

394
00:23:28,910.8919772 --> 00:23:31,70.8919772
He lit up describing her.

395
00:23:31,280.8919772 --> 00:23:35,510.8919772
More than anything else in nine chapters, Dan noticed it.

396
00:23:35,540.8919772 --> 00:23:37,880.8919772
He said, Holden has affection and feelings.

397
00:23:37,940.8919772 --> 00:23:39,290.8919772
He just never lets it out.

398
00:23:39,470.8919772 --> 00:23:41,420.8919772
Jennifer said she was worried about him.

399
00:23:41,480.8919772 --> 00:23:44,240.8919772
They were both watching the same thing without quite saying it.

400
00:23:45,410.8919772 --> 00:23:47,60.8919772
Here's what I keep returning to.

401
00:23:47,120.8919772 --> 00:23:56,180.8919772
He couldn't call Phoebe, couldn't call anyone, so he put on a clean shirt, went downstairs and tried to give all of it to a stranger who spent the whole dance looking around the room.

402
00:23:56,210.8919772 --> 00:23:57,980.8919772
The blonde was a terrific dancer.

403
00:23:58,40.8919772 --> 00:23:59,750.8919772
She wasn't listening to a word he said.

404
00:24:01,160.8919772 --> 00:24:02,720.8919772
That's not a funny scene either.

405
00:24:02,750.8919772 --> 00:24:09,20.8919772
That's someone with a tremendous amount of love and nowhere safe to put it reaching toward whoever happens to be standing nearby.

406
00:24:10,130.8919772 --> 00:24:13,280.8919772
It makes me curious about the people who find this podcast.

407
00:24:13,460.8919772 --> 00:24:15,590.8919772
They're not the ones who stop feeling things.

408
00:24:15,710.8919772 --> 00:24:18,290.8919772
They're the ones who couldn't find anyone else who noticed.

409
00:24:19,400.8919772 --> 00:24:25,370.8919772
I wonder sometimes if that's what created the scary book, people in the first place, they're not alone.

410
00:24:25,430.8919772 --> 00:24:26,570.8919772
Neither is Holden.

411
00:24:26,600.8919772 --> 00:24:28,310.8919772
He just hasn't found his room yet.

412
00:24:29,480.8919772 --> 00:24:33,260.8919772
Standing by for today's new segment with Beowulf Rocklin.

413
00:24:33,796.0306068 --> 00:24:34,16.0306068
Woo.

414
00:24:48,996.1739279 --> 00:24:49,626.1739279
Hello, Jen.

415
00:24:49,626.1739279 --> 00:24:50,496.1739279
Hello, Dan.

416
00:24:50,526.1739279 --> 00:24:51,36.1739279
Hello.

417
00:24:51,36.1739279 --> 00:24:52,206.1739279
Scary book people.

418
00:24:52,206.1739279 --> 00:24:59,196.1739279
I bring you positive news from the book, banning Front from the great white North.

419
00:24:59,196.1739279 --> 00:25:00,126.1739279
Yes, Canada.

420
00:25:00,636.1739279 --> 00:25:10,626.1739279
The Jake Epp Library Board in the little town of Steinbo, Manitoba in Canada has blocked an attempt to remove a Christian.

421
00:25:11,46.1739279 --> 00:25:14,196.1739279
Gender affirming book from its shelves.

422
00:25:14,946.1739279 --> 00:25:25,686.1739279
The board passed a motion to deny a request to remove Queerly and wonderfully made A Guide for LGBTQ plus Christian Teens by Lee Fink.

423
00:25:25,686.1739279 --> 00:25:34,206.1739279
The book lays out answers for queer, teens and young adults who questions how to balance their religious beliefs with their gender identity.

424
00:25:34,476.1739279 --> 00:25:42,224.3557461
According to the publisher of Beaming Books so Canada is like, I, I, it's not on the same scale.

425
00:25:42,614.3557461 --> 00:25:48,704.3557461
It doesn't seem like, although it's been like the complaints and requests for book bans have increased.

426
00:25:49,214.3557461 --> 00:25:55,287.0830188
Just to give you a sense, I mean, we know that there are thousands of requested ban books in the United States Canadian libraries.

427
00:25:55,423.7496855 --> 00:25:58,753.7496855
Half faced rising calls for book removals in 2025.

428
00:25:59,8.7496855 --> 00:26:05,578.7496855
98 complaints were lodged against public libraries according to the Canadian Library Challenges database.

429
00:26:05,578.7496855 --> 00:26:09,688.7496855
So not the same scale of problem, but they're still fighting back.

430
00:26:10,5.4163521 --> 00:26:11,475.4163521
Very glad they did so.

431
00:26:11,762.0830188 --> 00:26:14,192.0830188
And this is in Toronto? This is in Vancouver.

432
00:26:14,192.0830188 --> 00:26:22,613.7496855
This is just, it's a little town in, in Manitoba, you know, I think it's interesting that since the whole rise of.

433
00:26:22,837.0830188 --> 00:26:45,457.0830188
Putting fingers and moms for liberty, and I mean, it's not necessarily them, but I guess maybe since Trump took over for the, uh, his first time, all the, uh, so many other countries are leaning toward that crazy ultra right wing nut bag leaning.

434
00:26:47,417.0830188 --> 00:26:52,972.0830188
Is pervasive around the globe, I think is, is, is you're trying to say yes, you're right.

435
00:26:52,972.0830188 --> 00:26:55,918.7496855
Like Hung the Hungry, Victor Orban, my gosh.

436
00:26:55,978.7496855 --> 00:27:02,113.7496855
Uh, that, that weird guy who's on the rise in the UK with the reform party, Nigel Farage, uh, you.

437
00:27:02,502.0830188 --> 00:27:05,955.4163521
Comes and pals around with, Trump at Mar-a-Lago all the time.

438
00:27:06,192.0830188 --> 00:27:09,222.0830188
the, the Marine Lapin in France, I mean, yeah.

439
00:27:09,578.7496855 --> 00:27:12,802.0830188
Nut Jabri is, is definitely on the rise.

440
00:27:12,955.4163521 --> 00:27:18,955.4163521
fortunately not, so much in Canada at least yet, and, and they're fighting back, so I, I think there are places of hope for sure.

441
00:27:19,600.4163521 --> 00:27:52,868.5784302
So I wanna ask though, ba based on that, seeing that other countries are experiencing this far right bullshit, are other countries, so hell, Ben, on sex? Like where, where do most of these countries land on I think we're all hell bent on sex, Dan, and, but, but, but, but you mean, you mean are, are they as like uptight about like, sex in literature as, as we Well, just sex in general, you know, are, are the people in the UK freaking out over drag queens? I don't know.

442
00:27:52,868.5784302 --> 00:27:59,498.5784302
You know, the French, they are pretty, how you say, loosey goosey about ax.

443
00:27:59,948.5784302 --> 00:28:06,83.5784302
Uh, but other countries like, uh, like the uk, they're a little bit more, uh, uptight.

444
00:28:07,350.7909823 --> 00:28:14,264.1243156
I'm just always wondering like, what, what gets people so bent outta shape, when it comes to sex and even just nudity and everything.

445
00:28:14,264.1243156 --> 00:28:16,904.1243156
Like I, I've said it a billion times.

446
00:28:16,904.1243156 --> 00:28:19,719.1243156
We all have nipples get used to it, people.

447
00:28:19,819.1243156 --> 00:28:26,755.4056434
And, and here's the thing too, like if you compare the amount of like, that people get worked up over sex versus.

448
00:28:27,67.9398975 --> 00:28:29,47.9398975
People getting worked up over violence.

449
00:28:29,241.4547697 --> 00:28:38,271.4547697
It is just like way off kilter like violence clearly in the United States and in our media is way more okay than than sex is.

450
00:28:38,541.4547697 --> 00:28:47,124.7658418
You know, the, the, the acts which, which take away human life, are, are way more, uh, acceptable somehow than acts which, uh, create human life.

451
00:28:47,164.2446362 --> 00:28:47,794.2446362
I don't get it.

452
00:28:48,232.6644859 --> 00:29:02,662.6644859
It's like, it's, it's like we're, you know, it's like we're in that like phase of, of, of childhood development where, where everything around like romantic relations is, is gross, except like that's what we've all retained to like adulthood.

453
00:29:02,842.6644859 --> 00:29:02,992.6644859
Yeah.

454
00:29:03,562.6644859 --> 00:29:04,687.6644859
That you think, Ew.

455
00:29:05,542.6644859 --> 00:29:06,307.6644859
You know, yeah.

456
00:29:06,397.6644859 --> 00:29:07,567.6644859
You're gonna get cooties.

457
00:29:07,852.6644859 --> 00:29:09,262.6644859
you're gonna get cooties from him.

458
00:29:11,32.6644859 --> 00:29:16,72.6644859
Well, for more Cootie talk, you want to tune into good news for America.

459
00:29:16,612.6644859 --> 00:29:18,802.6644859
You can find this and more.

461
00:29:20,812.6644859 --> 00:29:23,632.6644859

462
00:29:24,237.6644859 --> 00:29:25,657.6644859
Thank you so much guys.

463
00:29:30,15.1659557 --> 00:29:34,843.7363967
From band worthy to binge worthy.

464
00:29:36,254.1977058 --> 00:29:37,184.1977058
simone Sanders.

465
00:29:37,184.1977058 --> 00:29:48,854.1977058
Townsend and I have known each other for more than a decade, tussling over politics and policy when she worked in the White House and I reported on it, and now we're friends and colleagues and on our new podcast, Ms.

466
00:29:48,854.1977058 --> 00:29:50,144.1977058
