Jim Norton and his wife Nikki talk about their marriage and how Jim’s family reacted after finding out Nikki is trans. Nikki talks about having trouble immigrating to the United States and the two share their philosophies on trans culture and navigating the various reactions to their relationship. Adam also reminisces about meeting Jim’s parents.
Chris shares news stories about the Super Bowl, Gina Carano suing Disney with Elon Musk’s help, a tampon dispenser torn from a high school boys' restroom minutes after being installed, and ex-Spanish soccer president Luis Rubiales facing trial for kissing a player after winning the World Cup.
Lastly, Jane’s Addiction and Porno for Pyros frontman Perry Farrell joins the show and talks about an issue he has with today’s music industry. He remembers selling and transporting jewelry in New York as a kid before moving to California on his own. Perry recalls many of the jobs he worked before revealing his lowest moment- which he credits to inspiring his music.

Being married to some kind of half man isn't for me, but if Nikki is okay with Jim, we should support her.

I hope Perry reads the comments, Perry, please come back next week, next month, in the Spring, early Summer. Also, I hope Jim and Nikki read the comments, best wishes to you both, I'm a blue-collar guy, almost sixty years old and won't be gaslighted by pretending gender doesn't matter and that genetics aren't a fact, it seems you both would agree with that. If ask, I wasn't, I would simply say Jim and Nikki are two homosexual men, and that Nikki is not Jim's wife, he, Nikki, is Jim's husband/partner. Wives are genetically female; the title Wife is not a wishy-washy title that can bounce between genders. I would refer to Nikki or any person by the name of their choosing but reassigning definitional titles is part of this crazy Woke movement attempting to permeate established systems that maintain a stable society. As a ticket buyer, customer and KZfaq subscriber, I would simply ask that Jim and Nikki not pretend to be separate genders but rather embrace the fact that genetics matter and they are two homosexual males that choose to incorporate different appearances of gender into their marriage. Again, Jim and Nikki, best of luck in your marriage and careers, be well.

The Scandinavians understand the concept of stoicism. Being happy means that you don't have to put on a big show for a bunch of strangers to show that you are happy. There is a direct inverse between time spent showing off how happy you are on social media and your actual level of contentment with your life...

The "fact" that some of the scandinavian countries are the "happiest" people on earth is a marketing ploy by big antidepressant. Scandinavian countries have the highest population on antidepressants provided by their social healthcare. Imagine what the outcome of a poll would be if they provided gamblers with money every month followed by a survey "how do you feel now; good, neutral, bad?". Everyone is slightly sedated and codependent on those pills and the system that provides them. It's simply a misrepresentation of selective information.
