The Um, Sir Podcast

Find your hosts, Emily Wicks and Samie Blood, on Instagram/Threads ⁠@emilyineverett⁠ and ⁠@samie_blood⁠. We're back, and surprise, you're on Patrol Live! Join Power P’s Emily in Everett and her neighbor Samie for a discussion on actual porn versus good television, sharks vs. guinea pigs, and what it means to be an A member or a B member at the Everett Golf and Country Club. We dive into chapter two of "Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in anWorld Designed for Men" by Caroline Criado Perez, discussing how diminishing bathroom access and default male bias are costing us all. We'll also cover new legislation requiring Louisiana classrooms to display the 10 Commandments and how Oklahoma Public School students can soon earn education credits through the Satanic Temple Academy. Mifepristone is deemed safe...kind of...but the Comstock Act, Project 2025, and a potential Xrump presidency could reverse this and block access to life-saving care. Please vote for Pro-Choice, Planned Parenthood-endorsed candidates, even if they’re dead. And to quote Everett High’s Fight Song: “Boys, we ask for your best!” Which mostly means, don't pee on the seat.
