00:00Aaron Rodgers and Joe Rogan head-to-head.
00:03There's definitely going to be some interesting topics covered
00:07and interesting statements made.
00:09One of the things that Aaron Rodgers, by the way, you know what he didn't?
00:12When you say head-to-head, though, I think they're both aligned.
00:16I just meant they're sitting in the studio face-to-face.
00:19Okay.
00:20Maybe face-to-face would have been better.
00:22But one of the things they didn't cover, Joe didn't ask him anything about the wedding ring.
00:27The marriage, I know!
00:28That's the thing we wanted to hear about.
00:30I mean, we wanted to know this, and he talks for three hours.
00:32He married.
00:33Jeez.
00:34Now, they didn't get into it.
00:35Did he have a ring on, by the way, during this thing?
00:37I don't know if we get to see his hands at any point,
00:39because he's just sitting, it's a tight shot in the studio.
00:42That's what we heard about, three hours on all.
00:45Maybe he'll lift up his hands in the middle of this clip
00:48where he is talking about the topic of trans women playing sports.
00:53We know that this was one of the issues that President Trump wrote into the White House with those ads.
01:00So, here's what Aaron Rodgers thinks about it.
01:02If you still want to compete, and you're a woman, you know, you should have to, I mean,
01:08you should be protected and only have to compete against other actual biological women.
01:13Period.
01:14End of discussion.
01:15It's not bigoted to say that.
01:17The trans women movement is actually anti-woman.
01:21100%.
01:21Especially when it comes to sports, 100%.
01:23Yeah, that's what I mean, sports.
01:25You're not seeing trans men dominating anything.
01:30No.
01:30It's because there's a biological difference.
01:31Well, you didn't quite make the point that, I mean, you got his point.
01:35You get the point.
01:36I mean, and I'm sure, by the way, it's been to like a three-hour show,
01:39so I'm sure there was much more.
01:42Does he lift up his hand at any point?
01:44I was hoping he would, like, speak with his hands.
01:45That's kind of what I'm thinking, too.
01:47That's, it's like, what about asking something Italian?
01:52Hey, Aaron, if you were Italian, how would you answer this?
01:54I mean, would you answer like this?
01:56You know, it's like, we want to see the hand.
01:59And Joe Rogan is so good.
02:00He really is.
02:01I mean, he is such a good conversationalist.
02:04Right.
02:05It almost makes me feel like there was some.
02:07It's not in his wheelhouse, I think.
02:09Look, I don't think what Aaron Rodgers is saying, by the way,
02:11he's obviously, he's a controversial person who says a lot of out-there things sometimes,
02:14but this is not that.
02:15I mean, this is something that I think you get four out of five people in this country,
02:19and they are going to agree with Aaron Rodgers and Joe Rogan.
02:23I think it's absurd that anyone would think that this is a good idea to have a trans woman against women.
02:28It's dangerous.
02:30Again, this is an issue that 80% of Americans believe should not happen.
02:34Yeah, that was a lot of the podcast, honestly.
02:36We, like you guys talked about, we expected to be talking about his wedding ring and the Pittsburgh Steelers,
02:41and is he going to retire and all that, but a lot of the podcast was honestly like all of those, I guess.
02:46Well, hold on.
02:47Did you guys look at the whole podcast?
02:48I did.
02:49I didn't watch all the way through it.
02:50Did he ever lift his hand?
02:53Man, you would not believe how many times I tried to scrub through to try to find the video.
02:56I couldn't find it, man.
02:58And frankly, if he showed it, he wasn't going to tell Joe about it anyways.
03:02I'm Josh from Long Island, and honestly, I just don't understand why these straight cis men with podcasts are so obsessed with trans people.
03:10Like, I'm part of the LGBTQ plus community.
03:12I have trans people who are close to me in my life, and I don't think about trans issues nearly as much as these people seem to.
03:18And like you guys said, public opinion is already largely on their side, so I don't get why they have to talk about it 24-7.
03:24I have a feeling it was a shorter conversation than that, but yeah.
03:32I have a feeling it was a shorter conversation than that, but yeah.
