Michael Hobbes· Host0:01
What do you know about the Supreme Court's trans rights decision?
Peter Shamshiri· Host0:04
All I know about the Supreme Court is that someone should do a podcast about how much it sucks.
Michael Hobbes· Host0:09
(Upbeat music) So, as you may have heard, the Supreme Court recently put forth, put down a decision on trans rights, Scrimetti versus America? What is it?
Peter Shamshiri· Host0:34
Yeah, it's Scrimetti versus America. God, you got- Scrimetti versus... You know nothing about the Supreme Court, buddy.
Michael Hobbes· Host0:39
Trans people versus America.
Peter Shamshiri· Host0:41
It's United States of E. Scrimetti.
Michael Hobbes· Host0:43
And we thought that we would talk about it a little bit because Peter has, uh, thoughts and feelings about the Supreme Court. (laughs) We're basically doing a 5 to 4 episode. I am the Rhiannon and Michael.
Peter Shamshiri· Host0:55
It's already confusing to people that I host two podcasts with two Michaels, and this is only making things worse.
Michael Hobbes· Host1:01
(laughs) And we're gonna keep covering Supreme Court decisions also on this show.
Peter Shamshiri· Host1:04
And I'm also gonna do a Scrimetti episode for 5 to 4. We're about to record it, uh, as soon as Rhiannon gets back home from, uh, Egypt. So...
Michael Hobbes· Host1:12
Yes.
Peter Shamshiri· Host1:13
It's gonna be, it's gonna be confusing for subscribers to both.
Michael Hobbes· Host1:15
Peter is also kind of worried about, like, spoiling the 5 to 4 episode (laughs).
Peter Shamshiri· Host1:19
Yeah.
Michael Hobbes· Host1:19
By, like, saying the same thing. But like, I don't think that's a concept that, like, exists in podcasts.
Peter Shamshiri· Host1:24
This is like if I pitched, if I pitched you on some health bullshit.
Michael Hobbes· Host1:27
Yeah, I don't care. People want to hear the same thing.
