Gender Swap Episode 126 - There's Money in Baby Zerglings

Mx. Maxwell (0:00)

Hello, hello, darlings.

SPEAKER_2 (0:02)

Hello, hello, hello.

Mx. Maxwell (0:05)

So, uh, yeah. I am suited to fuck.

SPEAKER_3 (0:12)

I think that's good, I think it's a good headspace to be in. I'm gonna get on over to our Twitch so I can be moderating us.

Mx. Maxwell (0:20)

Okay. Here we go.

SPEAKER_3 (0:21)

Okay, we're all set up, we're ready to boogie. Oh my gosh, I'm excited to podcast today, Mika.

Mx. Maxwell (0:26)

I'm very excited to podcast today too. I have been taking some time off because I've been a little bit ill, but...

SPEAKER_3 (0:35)

She's been pretty sickies, y'all.

Mx. Maxwell (0:39)

I found many, many good and interesting things to podcast.

SPEAKER_3 (0:44)

You've been plumbing the podcast minds?

Mx. Maxwell (0:47)

I have been delving the depths, possibly deeper than I should, unleashing some heretofore unknown evil upon the world.

SPEAKER_3 (0:59)

Don't do that, because that's bad for publicity. But, well, okay, do you think it'll get clicks?

Mx. Maxwell (1:04)

Oh, it would totally get clicks.

SPEAKER_3 (1:07)

Okay, just this once.

Mx. Maxwell (1:11)

I'm glad you're giving me this leeway on the podcast that I technically own half of.

SPEAKER_3 (1:17)

Okay, but unleashing a heretofore unknown evil through the medium of our podcast, I think is a to-host kind of decision. So I'm glad you brought it up.

Mx. Maxwell (1:26)

Well, Stevie, it also depends on your definition of evil. Like, honestly, you and I, by default, are considered evil by a sizable chunk of the population by virtue of being trans.

SPEAKER_3 (1:44)

Right. Well, words mean things, and they are incorrect. So I'm not too worried about that. If you mean heretofore unknown transgenderism, you should say that instead of evil, because I don't think it's good to perpetuate this kind of rhetoric.

Mx. Maxwell (1:59)

You know what, Stevie?

SPEAKER_3 (2:00)

We're going to release heretofore unknown levels of transgenderism upon the population of America, and that we promise. Stevie!

SPEAKER_2 (2:08)

Huh?

Mx. Maxwell (2:10)

I can tell that your transition is going well, because as a stereotypical guy, you just put words in the woman's mouth.

It's Gender Swap. I figure that's a good place to drop the intro song on.

SPEAKER_2 (2:34)

Surely.

Mx. Maxwell (2:36)

Welcome to Gender Swap, a podcast by two transgender siblings, one of whom decided to play around with her lighting, so now she looks extra spooky.

SPEAKER_2 (2:47)

Lean, lean, in case they haven't noticed.

SPEAKER_3 (2:48)

In case they haven't noticed.

Mx. Maxwell (2:49)

For the Halloween season, ooh.

SPEAKER_3 (2:53)

Lean left, lean left.

SPEAKER_2 (2:57)

Oh, shit.

SPEAKER_4 (2:59)

Oh, shit. That's so scary.

SPEAKER_3 (3:02)

It's like a Two-Face thing.

Mx. Maxwell (3:04)

I love it.

SPEAKER_3 (3:05)

Did you know? Okay, question. Daily question alert. Unplanned daily question alert.

Mx. Maxwell (3:10)

I'm literally in the middle of the intro.

SPEAKER_3 (3:13)

I'm sorry, go ahead. I have a daily question to get to that's really important, but I cannot believe I forgot about it until now. Proceed with the intro.

Mx. Maxwell (3:21)

And the other one has a daily question, apparently. The other host. I'm one of your hosts. My name is Mika. My pronouns are she, her.

SPEAKER_3 (3:31)

No, sorry, sorry. Shit, I'm being really rude today. My name is Stevie. I use he, they pronouns. I have a big new pewter. I feel very powerful. Daily question alert.

Mika, okay, did you know that... Okay, spoiler alert for a 100 or so year old book. Jacqueline Hyde, Dr. Jacqueline Mr. Hyde, that whole novel.

Mx. Maxwell (3:53)

Yeah, by Stevenson.

SPEAKER_3 (3:58)

Did you know that at the end of the book, the fucker was like... Nah, I was just pretending.

SPEAKER_2 (4:03)

Yeah.

I did not fucking know how that book ended. No one ever mentioned it.

SPEAKER_3 (4:12)

The references don't really extend all the way to the end, which is crazy because that is an unbelievable thematic touch that I cannot believe has been excluded from the general pop culture discussion.

Mx. Maxwell (4:21)

Because nobody wants to talk about a book that basically says, you can just be evil.

SPEAKER_2 (4:28)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_3 (4:30)

Society would be so much more interesting if we were correctly interpreting Dr. Jacqueline Mr. Hyde.

Mx. Maxwell (4:34)

There is one group that I feel does correctly interpret Dr. Jacqueline Mr. Hyde.

SPEAKER_2 (4:41)

Hmm.

Mx. Maxwell (4:43)

We'll talk about them at the end of the podcast.

SPEAKER_3 (4:46)

Okay.

SPEAKER_2 (4:48)

Okay. Okay.

Mx. Maxwell (4:52)

So, yeah. What do you want to do on podcast today, John? What was your daily question? I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_3 (4:59)

Oh, it was just, do you know how Dr. Jacqueline Mr. Hyde ends? And your answer was yes.
