you want to do this uh Michael Knowles
thing Hooters content we're going viral
now oh baby
um I mean you guys played Sports when
you were younger did you ever have like
a really cool dad that your little
league uh
Championship that took you the Hooters
I've heard those stories uh Bismarck
Mandan North Dakota did not have a
Hooter so I was only able to dream about
Hooters until I went to undergrad in
Fargo where they had a Hooters and I got
some uh undercooked uh boneless wings
that's uh that's a beautiful story it's
an as American as apple pie and Michael
Knowles though is
um Pro Hooters too so that's that's some
we agree on hey Mike hey yeah Let's uh
[Music]
so
only it only feeds you emotionally not
yet anyway
here's a Michael Knowles supporting
Hooters
I've seen this response from the pro
drag people I I have to ask
who are all these dads taking their
five-year-olds to Hooters where are they
I don't really see them I've been to
Hooters on a handful of occasions
Bachelor parties everyone once as a
teenager I went
but I don't I was never taken to Hooters
when I was
a bachelor no offense out there but dude
that's not where you go for a bachelor's
party is the bachelor 13 years old man
like that is that's dark sad like you go
to a strip club yeah
are they I don't really see them I've
been to Hooters on a handful of
occasions Bachelor parties everyone once
as a teenager I went
but I don't I was never taken to Hooters
when I was five or six I don't and and
furthermore I don't want to invade the
question here
uh yes there are plenty of things that
are straight that might not be totally
appropriate for certain age groups
although you know Hooters it's not like
you go to a strip club it's not like the
waitresses are twerking or something
they're just wearing sort of tightly
fitted shirts and bringing you your
chicken wings and it's good chicken
wings right now
it's not like they're uh strippers
they're just there to get sexually
harassed by center-right dads who've had
a beer or two uh too many and want to
feel tough in front of the rest of their
family there's not a five-year-old boy
on in America that would not understand
what time it is if his dad took him to
Hooters oh this is just about the food
right Dad like please yeah all right
here we go
it's not like you go to a strip club
it's not like the waitresses are
twerking that would be more swearing
sort of tightly fitted shirts and
bringing you your chicken wings and it's
good chicken wings on the occasions I've
had it that's quite different than drag
queen Story Hour but furthermore yeah it
is different in that really Hooters
though maybe a little saucy
pun intended
um gray pun does not contradict the
natural law okay there are
gradations of decadence and debauchery
and um Hooters counts as
you know a naughty thing to do
sign me up quite the same as men putting
on dresses and stilettos and stripping
half naked and jiggling for little kids
at a CD bar okay those are different
things and I know that they're going to
be people who want to say well you know
look Michael how dare you suggest that
do an LGBT stuff is any worse than doing
straight decadent stuff but
decades that's not they're they're not
the same you're right
you're right they're not the same and
and uh yeah it wouldn't take your time
is that it
I think there's a tiny bit more I'm
riding a little more probably but
yeah we should take our kids to places
that it is appropriate for them to be
General so it's appropriate for them to
be titillated at Hooters but not at I
like natural law like going to Hooters
and being like everything here conforms
with natural love this is
intended like the I um and a woman came
from the past rib and then she waited
brought us our boneless wings at Hooters
in a low-cut tank top again like what
they say is unnatural about like trans
people is like the surgery when they
when they want to pretend like they
don't also have a problem with social
transition but I'm sorry like
uh and and no shame I I think fake
breasts are fine but I don't know like
to the extent that they're any different
than because I don't care yeah he's um
he's he's struggling through this answer
here
uh they're just like gay is bad and
straight is good that's that's all he's
saying no and and the the the reason
dads bring like their boys to Hooters is
because as they want to impart some sort
of like heterosexual winking non-thing
onto them like let's have this shared
experience Hooters is like explicitly I
even understood this as a kid when I
drove past there when I was like you
know eight I was like oh like what's
that you know let's make friends with
jokes with my friends
um drag shows are not sexual like I
don't know they're less sexual Intruders
by far there are sexual drag shows I'm
sure but for the most part what I've
seen is it's theatrical it's fun it's
way theatrical that's like the key word
yeah it's about dressing lip syncing to
Jolene by Dolly Parton is not sexual
it's not as sexual as uh the name of
this fast food chain which has shitty
food is about tits yeah yeah and like
Drake shows and like I know like in
Fargo where like Drake shows it's like
the alt Community right like you've got
the Drake shows you also do like roller
derby and stuff like that like like it's
not it isn't like like I I've been to
direction of fragrance like come on come
here like for me it was like I was there
because other people I was there was
like it is too theatrical for me and
like it's you know well now I get it it
feels more titillating
um I'd be more maybe more interested I
uh I I went to a drag show at Stonewall
which is probably the gayest thing that
uh you know or the the most dragging
ground zero right I did I went with a
few of my gay friends and um it's like
and I genuinely exciting and like fun
thing to do and it I didn't feel like a
pride in a bar anyway exactly it's like
seeing a show exactly yeah you know
where you know where drag shows were
pretty prominent throughout the 20th
century I'm not sure as much now
um uh on military bases yeah and uh
military deployments for Uso shows
um yeah I don't think I don't think
necessarily the port of the point or it
was to get you know service members
rocks off by like and if they did then
great and even if they did yeah exactly
so who cares well and there's a comment
that I I just want to highlight like a
drake show in Fargo like I I think
people that like especially come from
metropolitan areas on the coast don't
understand like every single state has
college towns and college towns have
Drake shows well if you watch if you
watch RuPaul's Drag Race there are drag
queens in Rochester New York they're
drag queens of Nashville drag queens in
Connecticut Missouri drag queens and
Springfield Missouri drag queens in
Miami drag queen to Tallahassee that's
why I get so furious with Coastal
journalists who are contrarians are like
oh maybe there's debate about this
because all they are doing is putting
those the
tax against like gay bars in New York
City and stuff so like like nobody's
really out of the woods here but the
amount of like bravery that those sorts
of communities have the the gay
communities and and trans communities in
in like sort of red state college towns
I think like but you know you know God
bless all those people
agreed
as
I'm sorry no
I know for calls
um I should have gotten to three but I
just didn't I just didn't today
all right we're gonna read some items
and we're gonna add here
um nutty Dan Hooters is literal hardcore
objectification I've been to drag
performances at a bar and that was
lit yeah that's what I'm saying
