This is episode 142 of the Baehr and Curadh podcast. We are going to go talk about stupid things tRump has said.

• To a contestant on The Apprentice... "That must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees."
• "All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me -- consciously or unconsciously."
• "I believe in winning. I'm very good at winning."
• "Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score."
• "If someone screws you, screw them back."
• "How many bald eagles did wind turbines kill today? They are an environmental disaster."
• "[John McCain]'s not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."
• "I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created."
• On gay marriage... "It's like in golf. A lot of people -- I don't want this to sound trivial -- but a lot of people are switching to these really long putters, very unattractive. It's weird. You see these great players with these really long putters, because they can't sink three-footers anymore. And, I hate it."
• "While Bette Midler is an extremely unattractive woman, I refuse to say that because I always insist on being politically correct."
• "Rosie [O'Donnell]'s a person who's very lucky to have her girlfriend and she better be careful or I'll send one of my friends over to pick up her girlfriend. Why would she stay with Rosie if she had another choice?"
• "We're all a little chubby but Rosie's just worse than most of us. But it's not the chubbiness -- Rosie is a very unattractive person, both inside and out."
• "An extremely credible source has called my office and told me that Barack Obama's birth certificate is a fraud."
• "Why is Obama playing basketball today? That is why our country is in trouble!"
• On Mexicans... "They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
• "While I can't honestly say I need an 80-foot living room, I get a kick out of having one."
• On Ivanka... "She does have a very nice figure...if [she] weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."
• "Arianna Huff is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man -- he made a good decision."
• "I was the first and only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. [Mike] Huckabee copied me."
• "Part of the beauty of me is that I'm very rich."
• "What a great honor it must be for you to honor me tonight."
• "Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest -- and you all know it! Please don't feel so stupid or insecure, it's not your fault."
• "This very expensive GLOBAL WARMING bullshit has got to stop. Our planet is freezing, record low temps, and our GW scientists are stuck in ice."
• "This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!"

• "I don't have a racist bone in my body." .

This is episode 141 of the Baehr and Curadh podcast. We are going to go ask what happens if gay marriage is overturned?

• What is gay marriage? There is no such thing as gay marriage.
• We are going to use the term gay marriage in this episode anyway.
• The Trump Administration and Project 2025 want to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court decision that legalized gay marriage in the USA.
• The right for gay couples to marry is based on two key Supreme Court cases and a federal law.
• United States v. Windsor -- Edith Windsor challenged the federal government’s definition of marriage as only between one man and one woman under the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
• The Supreme Court ruled in Windsor’s favor, invalidating DOMA and requiring the federal government to recognize any marriage legally performed.
• Obergefell v. Hodges -- the Supreme Court ruled, "[T]he right to marry is a fundamental right inherent in the liberty of the person, and under the Due Process and Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, couples of the same sex may not be deprived of that right and that liberty."
• Respect for Marriage Act -- In response to threats against marriage equality, Congress passed the Respect for Marriage Act, codifying both Windsor and Obergefell into federal law.
• While Congress could repeal the Respect for Marriage Act, that alone would not invalidate gay marriage rights currently protected under the Constitution.
• To remove the right to gay marriage, Obergefell would have to be challenged and overturned. This would allow some states to outlaw gay marriage.
• To remove federal recognition of gay marriages, Windsor would have to be challenged and overturned as well. This seems unlikely.
• 35 states currently have constitutional amendments or statutes banning gay marriage.
• The remaining 15 states either have laws protecting gay marriage or lack explicit restrictions.
• This patchwork of state laws would be similar to how abortion rights are now.
• Invalidating existing gay marriages would be complex.
• Marriage licenses do not always require gender disclosure, making it difficult to identify same-sex couples retroactively.
• In some states, marriage licenses are issued at the county level, meaning different formats and storage systems exist.
• It would be a significant burden for state and federal governments to locate and revoke legally recognized marriages.
• If you are married, there are some things you should still do.
• Create or update your will to explicitly name your spouse as a beneficiary.
• Establish a trust to safeguard assets for your partner.
• Ensure powers of attorney are in place for healthcare and financial decisions.
• Update your beneficiaries on bank accounts, retirement plans, and life insurance policies to explicitly name your spouse.

This is episode 136 of the Baehr and Curadh podcast. We are going to talk about the Equal Rights Amendment.

• President Biden on Friday declared that he considers the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution "the law of the land". What does that mean?
• "The Equal Rights Amendment is the law of the land -- now!" Biden said in a speech to the U.S. Conference of Mayors. "It's the 28th Amendment to the Constitution -- now."
• The amendment would need to be formally certified by the national archivist, Colleen Shogan, to take effect.
• The first draft of the ERA, written by suffragist Alice Paul, was introduced in Congress by Senator Charles Curtis, a Kansas Republican in 1923.
• Paul’s original amendment text stated: "Men and women shall have equal rights throughout the United States and every place subject to its jurisdiction. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
• The Equal Rights Amendment now states that "equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex."
• Congress set a deadline of 1979 for ratification; it was later extended to 1982.
• For an amendment to go into effect and officially become part of the Constitution, three-quarters of state legislatures or 38 of the 50 states, need to ratify it.
• In 2020, Virginia became the 38th state to do so. Only 35 states had ratified the ERA by the time the deadline set by Congress hit in 1982. 3 states short.
• 5 states who ratified had subsequently voted (before the deadline) to rescind their ratifications due to pressure by conservatives.
• There is debate on whether states can actually rescind approval of constitutional amendments.
• It has long been taken for granted that the deadline killed the ERA, but a technical argument is that deadlines are not part of constitutional ratification.
• If Biden had actually been serious about fighting and trying to win a legal battle to make the amendment go into effect, he should have done this years ago.
• The Trump administration is very unlikely to take up the cause.
• Even if a legal challenge were to work its way to the Supreme Court, the current court's makeup is exceedingly conservative.

• Stonewall Bridge is a national model where younger gay people live with and care for older gay people in exchange for not only a salary but a chance to earn equity in the older person's home.
• For now, the project is nested in the NYC nonprofit Stonewall Community Development Corporation in New York City.
• Because of AIDS, in the 1980's and 90's, many gay men didn't think they would live to retirement age, and many didn't.
• Now that same generation is facing new challenges as they age.
• A lot of gay men have no children to look after their best interests in their Golden Years.

"Like millions of other Americans, we're heartbroken by the results of the presidential election, as well as the loss of other pro-equality champions across the country. We know our community is feeling scared, angry, and worried about what's next for them and their families. We see you - there's no question that we will face more challenges in the years to come as part of our fight for full . . . equality. But our ancestors taught us that resilience is our superpower.

* Listen to older gays, even if you think they are annoying, and don't ignore them. Gay life does not stop at 40. * Honor the chain of those who came before by mentoring those who need it. * The time to come out of the closet is when the burden of hiding your true self is greater than the benefits you get from passing. * Don't let being gay (or not being gay) determine your career path. * Don't buy that expensive ring, watch, cellphone or car, just to impress your friends. * Be yourself and get comfortable with who you are. * Don't listen to those who try to shame you, and don't shame yourself. * The only safe sex is solitary masturbation. If you share your body with others, get tested regularly. * You don’t owe anybody sex (not even your husband), and either one of you are allowed to change your mind at any point. * Just because you aren't someone's type, it doesn’t mean you are unattractive. * Be kind to yourself and others. Stop judging your peers. * The perfect person for you is never going to exist. We all have flaws, even you. Overlooking a few of them will be necessary to find a partner. * Never date because you’re lonely. Date because you want to share your life with someone. * Work smarter, not harder.

This is episode 121 of the Baehr and Curadh podcast. We are going to talk about conspiracy theories.
* The New England Patriots have been involved in numerous conspiracy theories. During their AFC Championship 24–20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, several conspiracy theories spread stating that the referees helped the Patriots advance to Super Bowl 12. * On the day of the 1998 World Cup Final, Brazilian striker Ronaldo suffered a convulsive fit. Ronaldo was initially removed from the starting lineup 72 minutes before the match, with the teamsheet released to a stunned world media, and then was reinstated by the Brazil coach shortly before kick off. * The "frozen envelope theory" suggests that the National Basketball Association rigged its 1985 draft lottery so that Patrick Ewing would join the New York Knicks. Theorists claim that a lottery envelope was chilled so that it could be identified by touch. * According to a theory, smartphones with microphones listen to private off-line conversations and use the data for targeted ads. * The Dead Internet theory is the belief that the modern Internet is almost entirely populated by bots and AI generated content. * Birds are government drones, spying on the American people. * Another claim is that world governments have hidden evidence of a once worldwide civilization with access to free energy and populated by giants, which was destroyed in the 1800s by a great "mud flood" cataclysm, causing it to be buried. * Conspiracy theorists claim that government agents are utilizing directed-energy weapons and electronic surveillance to harass members of the population. Theorists often cite research into psychotronic weapons such as LSD, the Cuban Health Attacks, and the Microwave Auditory Effect as proof of their theory. * Conspiracy theorists often believe in new military technologies. Subjects of theories include: The alleged Philadelphia Experiment, a supposed attempt to turn a US Navy warship invisible, but instead resulted in time travel; and the "tsunami bomb", which is alleged to have caused the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. * Numerous theories pertain to the alleged suppression of certain technologies and energies. Such theories focus on the allegations of the suppression of the electric car by fossil-fuel companies, and the Phoebus cartel, set up in 1924, which has been accused of suppressing longer-lasting light bulbs. * Radio frequency identification chips, such as those implanted into pets as a means of tracking, have drawn the interest of conspiracy theorists who posit that this technology is secretly implanted in humans. * Flat-earther conspiracy theorists hold that planet Earth is not a sphere, and that evidence has been faked or suppressed to hide the fact that it is instead a disc. Other claims include that GPS devices are rigged to make aircraft pilots wrongly believe they are flying around a globe. * Numerous theories pertain to weather-controlling projects. Theories include the debunked assertion that HAARP, a radio-technology research program funded by the US government, is a secret weather-controlling system. Some theorists have blamed 2005's Hurricane Katrina on HAARP. * Among the foremost concerns of conspiracy theorists are questions of alien life; for example, allegations of government cover-ups of the Roswell UFO incident or activity at Area 51. Many conspiracy theories have drawn inspiration from the writings of ancient astronaut proponent Zecharia Sitchin, who declared that the Anunnaki from Sumerian mythology was actually a race of extraterrestrial beings who came to Earth around 500,000 years ago in order to mine gold.

This is episode 120 of the Baehr and Curadh podcast. We are going to talk about common misconceptions.
* The Bermuda Triangle does not have any more shipwrecks or mysterious disappearances than other waterways of comparable area. * Ingesting Visine, a brand of eye drops, does not cause diarrhea. Pranks spiking people with Visine rose after the misconception was popularized by the film Wedding Crashers. * A chloroform-soaked rag cannot instantly incapacitate a person. It takes at least five minutes of inhaling an item soaked in chloroform to render a person unconscious. * There are not four primary tastes, but five: in addition to bitter, sour, salty, and sweet, humans have taste receptors for umami, which is a "savory" or "meaty" taste. * People do not use only 10% of their brains. A healthy human will normally use most of their brain over the course of a day, doing so all at one time would likely result in a fatal seizure. * Vaccines do not cause autism. There have been no successful attempts to reproduce fraudulent research by ex-doctor Andrew Wakefield. His research was ultimately shown to have been manipulated. * A full moon does not accompany an increase in crime. A reported correlation was found through later analysis, not to be supported by the data and to have been the result of inappropriate and misleading statistical procedures. * It is not possible for a person to completely submerge in quicksand, as commonly depicted in television. * The Coriolis effect does not cause water to drain from basins in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction depending on the hemisphere. * If one were to flip a coin five times and get heads each time, it would not be any more likely for a sixth flip to come up tails. * Thomas Edison did not invent the light bulb. The team of inventors Edison employed at his laboratories in Menlo Park, New Jersey did, however, develop the first practical light bulb in 1880. * Acne is not caused by eating fatty foods, though certain medication may worsen it. * Having sex before a sporting event or contest is not physiologically detrimental to performance. In fact, sex can elevate male testosterone levels, which could enhance performance for male athletes. * It is not possible to get pregnant from semen released in a commercial swimming pool. The sperm cells would be quickly killed by the chlorinated water. * Older adults are not necessarily sexually inactive nor have they lost interest in sex; although the frequency of sexual activity tends to decline with age. * The order in which different types of alcoholic beverages are consumed ("Beer before liquor never sicker; liquor before beer in the clear") does not affect intoxication or create adverse side effects. * Monosodium glutamate (MSG) does not cause headaches or other problems. Many studies that found a biological effect were done on rats, used unusually large doses of MSG, and these can't be extrapolated to humans. * Eating less than an hour before exercise does not increase the risk of experiencing muscle cramps. * Sugar does not cause hyperactivity in children. Double-blind trials have shown no difference in behavior between children given sugar-full or sugar-free foods. * Drinking eight glasses of water a day is not needed to maintain health. The actual amount of water needed varies by person, weight, diet, activity level, clothing, and the ambient heat and humidity. * There is a scientific consensus that food derived from genetically modified crops poses no greater risk to human health than conventional food. * Rust does not cause tetanus infection. The Clostridium tetani bacterium is generally found in dirty environments.

* To everyone listening to this podcast... You have some traits of internalized homophobia and you don't even know it. * We live in a world where everyone is assumed to be heterosexual. But more than that, we live in a world where heterosexuality is thought to be superior. * It leads to something called internalized homophobia. * Imagine a Jewish person in Nazi Germany. It's very much like that. * Growing up in an evangelical household. * Low self-confidence, feelings of inadequacy, self-minimization, anxiety, and depression. * Avoiding public displays of affection. * Feeling you are never good enough. * Internalized homophobia is what a lot of homophobic hate crimes stem from. * Attempts to change your attraction, or engage in addictive behaviors that distract from queer thoughts and feelings. * Conversion therapy. * Men joining a seminary, the armed forces or law enforcement to "cure" themselves. * Over-achievement as a bid for acceptance. * Increased fear and withdrawal from friend and relatives. * Embarrassment about those you attracted to, or how it manifests. * Feelings of shame and guilt. * Continual self-monitoring of one's behaviors, mannerisms, beliefs, and ideas. * Marrying someone of the opposite sex, hoping the homosexual feelings will be replaced. * Contempt for the more open or obvious members of the LGBT community. * Mistrust and destructive criticism of queer community leaders. * The opposite. Giving a "pass" to queer people because they are queer. * Contempt for those at earlier stages of the coming out process. * Projection of prejudice onto another target group. * Reluctance to be around children for fear of being seen as a pedophile. * Becoming psychologically abused or remaining in an abusive relationship. * Putting down or avoiding heterosexuals. * Feeling superior to heterosexuals. * Thinking about or attempting suicide. * A general sense of personal worth and also a positive view of your sexual orientation is critical for your mental health. * Just being aware of internalized homophobia is a good thing.

Zoo-born elephants live for only 17 to 19 years. Elephants in the wild live an average of 56 years. * Animals being transferred between zoos and veterinarians must have armed guards to prevent them from being stolen. * Chinese zoos have turned to using animals for circus-like performances such as being made to jump through burning hoops and balancing on balls. * Zoochosis is a portmanteau of zoo and psychosis. It refers to abnormal, repetitive, and unnatural behaviors exhibited by animals in captivity. * A polar bear’s hair is not white. It’s colorless.
