I tell a story about redemption & forgiveness that's a little different from the collective folklore on the topics. The usual me mouthing off about injustice but this time it's personal.

I've been finished with Jordan B. Peterson's 12 Rules For Life: An Antidote to Chaos for a minute. Instead of doing one episode for each chapter, I'm putting the rest of the episodes of analogous Queer Eye episodes all in one podcast. This is the definitive guide to why you should watch Queer Eye for much, much better self help advice than what JBP can give you. Send it to your lobster friends.

Season 3 of Queer Eye is out now & it's better than ever. The boys are out there saving lives & making America cry like a baby. Feels good.

There I did it. Now I never have to talk about this godforsaken book ever again.

Here's the list!

Rule 1: STAND UP STRAIGHT WITH YOUR SHOULDERS BACK--------->S1. Ep 6. The Renaissance of Remington

Rule 2: TREAT YOURSELF LIKE SOMEONE YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HELPING-------->S1. Ep. 5 Camp Rules

Rule 3: MAKE FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE WHO WANT THE BEST FOR YOU--------->S2. Ep.5 Sky's The Limit

Rule 4: COMPARE YOURSELF TO WHO YOU WERE YESTERDAY, NOT TO WHO SOMEONE ELSE IS TODAY-------->literally any episode

Rule 5: DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN DO ANYTHING THAT MAKES YOU DISLIKE THEM-------->S2. Ep. 7 Bedazzled

Rule 6: SET YOUR LIFE IN PERFECT ORDER BEFORE YOU CRITICIZE THE WORLD-------->S1. Ep. 8 Hose Before Bros

Rule 7: PURSUE WHAT IS MEANINGFUL NOT WHAT IS EXPEDIENT.-------->S2. Ep 8. Make Ted Great Again

Rule 8: TELL THE TRUTH--OR AT LEAST DON'T LIE-------->S1. Ep. 4 Too Gay or Not To Gay & S1. Ep. 6 Big Little Lies

Rule 9: ASSUME THAT THE PERSON YOU ARE LISTENING TO MIGHT KNOW SOMETHING YOU DON'T-------->S3. Ep 1 From Huntress to Huntee

Rule 10: BE PRECISE IN YOUR SPEECH-------->S1. Ep. 7 Below Average Joe. This is the worst episode of Queer Eye but it needed to be included so you know not to humiliate yourself on TV because you have a half assed commitment to something.

Rule 11: DO NOT BOTHER CHILDREN WHEN THEY ARE SKATEBOARDING-------->S3. Ep. 5 Black Girl Magic

Rule 12: PET A CAT WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER ONE ON THE STREET-------->S3. Ep. 6 Elrod & Sons

I woke up to the sound of a rooster shrieking like a tortured child. It was 4:37 am and I was in Tampa. The year before when I lived in San Diego was all a dream. Ugh.

The rooster wasn’t the only bird in the backyard. There was also a Crow. A Crow that was only loyal to the Bird Lady. I thought we could get along one time when I was out on the back porch, talking to a friend on the phone. We were talking about the dream I had, the one where I escaped Florida the first time. He told me it was real, that it happened. I was suspicious. And so was the Crow.

It hopped up to me, friendly enough, but when I greeted him, the Crow attacked my bare feet, drawing blood. Rough start, but maybe we could still co-exist.

**narrator** They could not co-exist.

I was banned from the backyard for four months by the Crow. It trained me to stay inside by trying to gouge my face off every time I went out there. Fair enough.

I don’t believe in signs, but it was hard to ignore an entire state revolting against you through birds. The rooster never let up. The Crow was an asshole. But the exotic birds kept in cages by the Bird Lady were delicate too. She had an understanding with all birds, wild or not. I once saw her catch a mockingbird in mid-air and it didn’t fly away once it had the chance.

**cw: forced abortion, discussion of fatal post-viability births, pregnancy from rape, murder of abortion providers

Abortion will always be a divisive topic, so I dive right in on why politically active "pro-lifers" are actually pro-death & suffering. They lie about nearly every single issue on the topic of abortion & frankly I'm tired of seeing their bullshit popping up trying to claim any moral high ground. Not only can they not be trusted but they are bad people according to their own arbitrary moral codes. The only pro-life position is pro-abortion.

This episode includes a harrowing story of a woman who was forced to birth a nonviable baby and several stats backing up my points. I bust nine lies told by anti-choicers and bitch about one mild rhetorical annoyance.

**Two corrections**

Abortion in Oklahoma: Oklahoma doesn't have only one abortion clinic; they have three in the entire state. Still hard as fuck to get necessary medical treatment.

Intimate partner violence during pregnancy: Reports are conflicting about intimate partner violence (IPV) increasing during pregnancy, with some showing increases and others not. But people experiencing IPV during pregnancy are at much higher risk for homicide and developmental problems with the child. IPV is however shown to drastically increase in couples experiencing unplanned pregnancies.

Lie #1: You can kill live babies in New York now!

Lie #2: wHat AboUt aDopTioN???

Lie #3: Abortionists hate women and are trying to exploit them!

Lie #4: Abortion is eugenics because some pro-choicers were racist!

Lie #5: Religious morality arguments

Lie #6: What about the evils of the One Child Policy in China???

Lie #7: There is a middle ground in evictionism.

Myth #8: The stance that one can be "personally pro-life but politically pro-choice."

Lie #9: People who get abortions are mostly traumatized and full of regret

Lie #10: Abortion is more dangerous than childbirth and increases risk of breast cancer

I'm not going to pretend anti-choicers magically care about people dying from cancer when they support policies that allow people to die from pregnancy complications. Plus, these are flat out lies.

Worst rule (so far)! Jordan Peterson says SET YOUR HOUSE IN PERFECT ORDER BEFORE YOU CRITICIZE THE WORLD but his room is a mess. I tell him to clean up his act & then reveal who cleans up even better in the very adorable Queer Eye episode you'll want to watch instead.

Now here's a 12 Rules For Life chapter based entirely on Jordan Peterson's delusions about "modern parents". I tackle the lengthy and factually dubious Rule 5: DON'T LET YOUR KIDS DO ANYTHING THAT MAKES YOU NOT LIKE THEM. It's a mouthful but I mouth off and discover Jordan Peterson doesn't seem to like kids that much. You know who makes better daddies? The Fab Five, duuuuh. Listen until the end to find out how Queer Eye bests the Lobster Man once again.

In this episode of Iconosass Peters Out I tackle Rule 4 of the 12 Rules For Life which is COMPARE YOURSELF TO WHO YOU WERE YESTERDAY, NOT TO WHO SOMEONE ELSE IS TODAY. Lobster Daddy and I have a lot to agree about in this chapter once again but he tries to sneak in some Christianity that seems a little tryhard. Listen until the end to find out the superior Queer Eye episode to watch instead.
