3414: Funny That Way w/ Julia Scotti

[Svage]

I don't believe Keith was being malicious in asking about those touchy subjects, and like how she said at the end, if she doesn't want to talk about something she has every right to refuse. It's a delicate balance, I think if she knew who Keith was before hand she'd know that Keith is just asking questions for questions sake and wouldn't react in the way she did. Though, she has every right to. Tough situation, but eh, I still enjoyed it. Have her come back maybe she'll lighten up a bit

I know Keith has evolved past some of these questions but I thought it might be valuable to drop information from Marissa McCool, a trans podcaster who is much more understanding about a variety of questions.

Julia Scotti clearly hasn't listened to or done homework on Keith and the Girl - which explains the conflicts. Most shows dont probe like KATG does, so we can fault her for not doing any pre-work - because she has a perspective that many would appreciate hearing about and I am certain that was Keith and Chemdas angle - but we can't fault her for being guarded in that moment.

I have not been on the forum in ages but listened to the podcast this morning. Deserves a KATGuh for worst guest ever. Open book my arse. And the background noise or squeeky chair?! What the hell. I almost thought Keith was qutting the interweb on purpose just to yell at the screen.

I reluctantly voted "yes" because it bothered the guest, and trans people have to put up with a lot of uncomfortable situations. I respect that.

However, I only have so much sympathy for guests that don't care to do any prep, don't care about audio, and refuse to answer (non-biological) questions while claiming to be "an open book". She clearly didn't give a shit about what was going on. You can't treat a KATG episode like a plug for a film as if you're a guest on a network late night show. It's a long form, in depth audio-only interview, not a quick press junket stop. Her attitude was "Let me just get through this ad, whatever" the whole time.

Yes. Next time maybe we can all tackle George Floyd’s death and Chauvin’s trial

Lol now that I've heard today's episode with that lil teaser at the end... I was being hopeful but she totally burned that imaginary bridge. Can't wait for Last Week next week 😁
