Same energy, but about my city’s soccer club repeatedly abusing a helpless armadillo while the fanbase farts around like their club isn’t perpetrating some grotesquely evil shit

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

Oh man, you're absolutely right! Episode 5. You are true knights. Glad you guys see the awfulness. The club's/fanbase's blissful indifference is chilling. Carry on.

humble request (since Speedbump was mentioned on the pod) to discuss at some point the animal welfare concerns of exposing a naturally shy/nocturnal creature with sensitive hearing to bright stadium lights/deafening noise/crowds of random handsy people at club promotion events 🙏🦔🤕

Uzuni chewing the boys out after receiving a prime assist and scoring a goal - love the energy 🔥😂🤷‍♂️📈

(I will buy a fancy beer at Q2 for anyone who can convincingly argue that what our club does to Speedbump is not animal cruelty)

Armadillo hearing is so sensitive it can pick up insect movements (that’s what they eat)

Exposing one to bright lights and deafening noise at Q2 (or crowds of random people) is kind of like waterboarding a dog

They could pre-record a video of him being a happy dillo in a comfortable environment

You guys have a voice, other pods are silent.

The right thing to do is clear. Putting your voice on the right side of this would have a huge impact!

(my ticket rep knows, but we need public voices to chime in)
